'Complete surrender': Trump trashed over latest deal with China
09/16/25 3:53 PM
U.S. law limits media ownership by non-U.S. citizens, which has caused complications for the Chinese app TikTok's operations in the U.S. Now President Donald Trump is being accused of rolling over for the Chinese government in an effort to solve the company's problems.The tech company Oracle, which is owned by a close ally of President Donald Trump, will play a key role in a reported deal between Trump and China, CBS News reported Tuesday. Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's son, David Ellison, runs the company Skydance Media, which recently purchased Paramount Global, which runs networks like CBS and Comedy Central, where shows have been critical of Trump.Rush Doshi, assistant professor at Georgetown and director of CFR China Strategy Initiative, noted on X, "The TikTok deal is looking like a complete surrender by the admin. And it may even be illegal. If true, the US will let Beijing determine what appears on the news feeds of 180 million US TikTok users. Not quite America first. Even advisors to the deal are renouncing it!"He pointed to a Financial Times report Tuesday in which parent company ByteDance said the U.S. TikTok will use part of the Chinese algorithm, but it will be trained using data from Americans. Doshi noted the comment from an Asia-based investor who said, “Beijing’s bottom line is a licensing deal. Beijing wants to be seen as exporting Chinese technology to the U.S. and the world.” “It’s the ultimate Taco trade,” commented a U.S. advisor close to the deal, referencing to the mocking acronym “Trump always chickens out.""After all this, China keeps the algorithm," the U.S. advisor said. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed to reporters that U.S. investors might control the new U.S. app, but it will preserve some "Chinese characteristics," Reuters reported.

'Godawful mess' in US has foreign businessmen second-guessing working with Trump: NBC
09/10/25 3:37 PM
Donald Trump’s desire to deport immigrants from the U.S. by force is running headlong into his drive to increase foreign investments in the U.S. in the hope that it will improve his dismal job numbers.Asked about an immigration raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia by agents working for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem that led to a round-up of 475 employees, many of them South Koreans sent to help with the set-up, NBC’s Christine Romans said foreign investors are becoming nervous."So talk about the concerns you've heard from South Korean business leaders,“ she was asked on MSNBC.“Well, it's the collision of two Trump administration policies, right?’ she began. “Aggressive immigration enforcement and then using these trade deals to to get countries to invest more in the United States. Now, are you more likely in South Korea or elsewhere to invest more in the United States? If the 200 people that you've sent over to build the factory, literally, to train the American workers around it.”“They just said they're the top investor,” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough prompted his guest.”That's right, that's right and this is what part of the trade policy is to get more countries to send their companies here to build in the United States,” Romans replied. “At the same time, you have this very messy public image that is being broadcast here.”“It's just these things are at cross purposes,” she elaborated. “What you hear from business leaders, overseas business leaders ,is that the us immigration system is a godawful mess, and that they need better visa pathways for skilled workers to get here. What you hear from MAGA, of course, and from many traditional Republicans as well, is that skilled worker visas take away American jobs, so it's not an easy sell on that end. It's a big mess and this is front and center here.”You can watch below or at the link. - YouTube youtu.be
'Here we go!' Trump issues 11-word statement on Russia's drone attack in Poland
09/10/25 3:30 PM
President Donald Trump issued a brief statement about the suddenly tense standoff between Poland and Russia.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned the NATO member's parliament that Russia had crossed a line by sending drones into its airspace during an early Wednesday attack against Ukraine, saying "this situation brings us the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II," and the U.S. president briefly commented on social media."What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones?" Trump posted on Truth Social at 11:09a.m. EST. "Here we go!"European leaders condemned the incident as an escalation by the Kremlin, which has continued its attacks on Ukraine despite Trump's efforts to push Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into peace talks.Polish military officials called the incursion “act of aggression" and said all of the drones were shot down with help from NATO allies, and Tusk said he has activated Article 4 of NATO’s treaty, which allows member nations to demand consultations with their allies.That's only the eighth time since NATO was established in 1949 that Article 4, which does not trigger a military reaction, has been invoked by a member.
'Hoax!' Karoline Leavitt insists Epstein doodle ‘proves’ Trump didn’t send it

The note included a doodle of a woman and mentioned a "wonderful secret.""The latest piece published by the Wall Street Journal PROVES this entire 'Birthday Card' story is false," Leavitt claimed later on X. "As I have said all along, it's very clear President Trump did not draw this picture, and he did not sign it.""President Trump's legal team will continue to aggressively pursue litigation," she added, referring to a lawsuit against Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal.Leavitt also complained that reporter Joe Palazzolo had not given her enough time to respond before publishing the story."This is FAKE NEWS to perpetuate the Democrat Epstein Hoax!" she exclaimed.Supporters of the president have insisted that the signature on the note to Epstein does not match Trump's.
'It's unacceptable': 'Infuriated' Trump lashed out at ally in private phone call
09/11/25 12:26 PM
The White House is reportedly “infuriated” following the surprise Israeli strike Tuesday on American-ally Qatar, an operation that the United States was given little advanced notice of and has put a key international alliance in jeopardy.According to Israeli officials, the strike on Doha, the capital of Qatar, was intended to eliminate Hamas leadership, specifically those actively involved in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations. The strike was immediately condemned by Trump, who said he was “very unhappy” with what he called an “unfortunate incident.”But behind the scenes, Trump was reportedly “infuriated,” and had a heated phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to insiders familiar with the matter who spoke with Axios in a report published Thursday.“It's unacceptable,” Trump told Netanyahu during a phone call Tuesday, according to “two sources with knowledge,” speaking with Axios. “I demand that you do not repeat it.”The strike has also jeopardized the United States’ relationship with Qatar, which for decades has remained a key ally in the Middle East, having even been designated a major non-NATO ally by the United States.A “source with direct knowledge” told Axios that Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al-Thani told Steve Witkoff, the United States’ special envoy to the Middle East, that the country would reevaluate its security partnership with the United States, and “maybe find some other partners.”Netanyahu’s response to Trump during their phone call Tuesday is unclear, but in the days since, he has defended the strikes as necessary to protect Israel’s security and to bring “terrorists to justice,” while also proclaiming that Israel would “continue to strike” as necessary.According to Axios, Trump was not notified of the impending attack until “missiles were in the air.” According to Axios, Al-Thani told the White House that it considered the attack a “betrayal” by the United States, and that Qatar was actively engaged in conversations with other Persian Gulf nations on how to respond.
