Arts Panel Pushes for Record-Sized 24K Trump Coin

A seven-member Commission of Fine Arts voted to urge the Treasury to mint a 24-karat gold commemorative coin featuring Donald Trump and to make it as large as possible, potentially up to three inches in diameter, after Trump approved the design. The Treasury will make the final call on the coin's specs after consultations with the CFA and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee, which has opposed placing a living president on coins; critics and some coin collectors also oppose the move.

Trump's Swollen Cankles Steal Spotlight in Oval Office Talk With German Leader Merz

Trump, 79, flashed swollen ankles during a bilateral Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a symptom tied to chronic venous insufficiency diagnosed in 2025; he briefly wore compression socks but stopped because he didn’t like them. The encounter unfolded amid broader health and image concerns, including a neck rash and skepticism from doctors, while he criticized tariffs and bases in Europe.

Oval Office press conferences retreat as foreign visits go behind closed doors

Trump has stopped staging public Oval Office press conferences with visiting leaders, a trend fueled by foreign leaders’ dislike of the live‑camera format and Trump’s own weariness with the show. Many encounters have shifted to private or behind‑the‑scenes discussions, though a press availability could reappear if the German chancellor’s working visit proceeds amid Iran strikes. The shift signals a broader move away from televised, high‑drama diplomacy toward more controlled diplomacy and raises questions about how public messaging and alliances are managed going into elections.

Mamdani Quietly Bakes Big Queens Housing Pact With Trump

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s second Oval Office meeting with President Trump reportedly involved keeping the encounter secret at the White House’s urging, as Mamdani pitched a massive Queens housing project at Sunnyside Yard—an estimated $21 billion in federal grants to deliver about 12,000 affordable homes plus parks and services. The talks reflect a rare alliance that could yield a legacy project while testing Mamdani’s progressive base, with the mayor softening his stance toward Trump and signaling more cooperation if it benefits New Yorkers; Trump praised him and the schedule hinted at further discussions, even as immigration issues and political optics loom large.
