Trump pressed ahead with a primetime address touting debunked election‑rigging claims, despite White House aides urging him to drop it; networks largely limited coverage (Fox aired it in full while ABC/NBC declined), and initial viewership trailed rival primetime programs, underscoring GOP fatigue with revisiting the 2020 election.
United Airlines reportedly walked back an internal memo instructing agents to offer free alternative flights (such as to Fort Lauderdale or Miami) to travelers unhappy with Palm Beach International Airport’s renaming to President Donald J. Trump International Airport; a spokesperson framed the memo as poorly worded and said airline changes aren’t based on airport name or code, while the rename has already cost $5.5 million and the DJT code will replace PBI in mid‑August.
The Daily Beast reports that President Donald Trump, 80, showed new bruising and broken skin on both hands during events with NATO leaders and at the Oval Office, with makeup used to conceal the right-hand damage. The sighting follows earlier marks at the G7 and has intensified questions about his health, though the White House has attributed the bruising to frequent handshakes. A recent White House memo on his annual physical said glucose levels and cardiac biomarkers were normal, yet health concerns—including swollen ankles from venous insufficiency and broader questions about cognitive fitness—remain in public discourse alongside Trump’s remarks about a UFC fighter and other health-focused rumors.
President Trump spent about two minutes trash-talking Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner in the Oval Office, calling him a 'thug,' but his remarks drew laughter from MS NOW panelist Julie Roginsky and failed to land. The White House doubled down, saying Platner’s critics are wrong while highlighting past controversies tied to Platner. Platner, a Marine veteran and oyster farmer who faced scrutiny over a Nazi-linked tattoo and explicit texts, nonetheless won the Maine Democratic primary and will face Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November, as Democrats hope to flip the seat.
At a Wisconsin roundtable, Trump accepted Olympian Jordan Stolz’s gold medal and joked, 'I’m keeping it,' highlighting his penchant for prized trophies he didn’t win. The piece also recalls a January moment when Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado gave Trump her Nobel Peace Prize medal, a gift the Nobel Committee notes cannot be shared or transferred, underscoring Trump’s long-running belief that he deserves Nobel recognition despite the committee’s rules. The article frames these episodes as part of a pattern of Trump collecting and keeping symbolic prizes regardless of rightful ownership.
A swarm of thousands of bees briefly overran the White House North Lawn, described as a 'bee tornado' by reporters, with the insects forming a bivouac in a tree near Pebble Beach; there’s no official word on the number of bees involved. The incident comes as Melania Trump recently expanded the White House honey program, and the White House notes its beekeeping can house up to 70,000 bees and produce about 230–255 pounds of honey annually, with excess honey donated to local food banks.
In Rome, Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the U.S. military’s response after Iran fired on a U.S. destroyer, calling a reporter’s question about a ceasefire “crazy” and “stupid,” and saying that if Iran fires at a U.S. ship the United States must respond; he urged the reporter to ask Iranians about any ceasefire. The piece notes Trump’s description of the incident as a “love tap” and Rubio’s pushback at the press conference.
President Donald Trump is shutting down the East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., to redesign it as part of a sweeping federal-land overhaul that also includes a National Garden of American Heroes, drawing criticism over public access and the cost of shaping public spaces to honor Trump.

A viral video shows Lara Trump dancing with Egyptian rapper Mohamed Ramadan while filming their upcoming track “Sah-Sah,” set to drop Jan. 23.
