Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

President Trump held an impromptu press conference aboard Airforce One heading to Florida for the weekend. The audio is a little challenging, but the sound is better on the Forbes link than the White House link.
President Trump discusses his lowering the import tariffs against some products the USA doesn’t create. Additionally, President Trump notes his intention to sue the BBC for compensatory damages as a result of their manipulation of his J6 speech. WATCH:
.
President Trump speaks at length about inflation. He is absolutely correct on the 2021 Biden cause and effect.
For those who did not pay attention to the details at the time when we were researching and writing about it, including the warnings and preparations that we suggested everyone should take – HERE IS A REMINDER LINK!<- That is what President Trump is trying to deal with.
Megyn Kelly asked Trump Empire CEO Eric Trump if the non-answers to the lingering questions about Thomas Crooks concerns him. Eric Trump responds with a very pragmatic perspective, albeit clouded in frustration. WATCH:

Tucker Carlson ran a 30-minute review of Thomas Crooks earlier this evening. Video Below:
Seth Dillon of the Babylon Bee is a member of the alligator emoji tribe and a rabid never Trumper. In an effort to stir up more Israel vs America First friction as useful for the Alligator Emoji agenda to split MAGA, Dillon and the Bee write a “joke” story about Megyn Kelly being at risk from her pager.
Dillon and crew came under backlash, likely from their benefactors who didn’t appreciate the Bee reinforcing the “Israel will kill you” sentiment, and subsequently deleted the “joke” tweet while the alligator emoji supporters rallied to defend Dillon for both posting the Tweet then deleting it.
Jokes are only funny when the context behind them is well known. In order for this Tweet to be funny you have to know the Israeli government will kill anyone who does not support them. Hamas found out with the exploding pagers, hence the reference to Megyn Kelly in danger.
Doesn’t sound all that funny does it? It likely wasn’t the least bit funny to the benefactors of the Babylon Bee, who also support the larger agenda of the alligator emojis. You can almost hear them saying, don’t make fun of what we do – it reinforces the stereotypes. That’s why Dillon deleted it.
If it was a joke, and everyone knew it was a joke, there would be no reason to delete it. The too-cute-by-half joke failed miserably. More of DeSantis and the alligator emoji followers echo-chambering themselves into foolishness. I digress.
President Donald Trump gave U.S. Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, all the tools and leverage needed to bring the Swiss govt to a substantive trade agreement. The pressure was too much to bear, so Switzerland quickly negotiated a deal.
In the background President Trump’s global trade reset has been seriously damaging for the Swiss industrial economy. The EU overall, Germany specifically and China, have stopped purchasing precision Swiss industrial machinery.
It’s not the direct tariffs against Swiss precision machinery itself that created the pressure, but rather the tariffs against nations who purchased the Swiss precision machinery.
China was a big purchaser of the Swiss machinery, until Beijing stole enough intellectual property to develop their own precision machining capacity. Slowly China didn’t need Switzerland.
Germany and the EU economy then began to contract as the Trump tariffs bit hard against their exports to the USA.
Simultaneously, Chinese EV production started replacing more expensive European EV production, and the tooling purchases within the auto industry began contracting within Switzerland.
As things unfolded, the forecast for the future of the Swiss economy started to become very clear; their precision industrial exports were going to continue contracting. Something needed to change, and fast.
Ambassador Jamieson Greer announces a major free trade agreement with Switzerland {SEE HERE} and the White House provides a fact sheet {SEE HERE}. A joint statement is then released:
Whenever an echo-chambering mob assembles, a frequent occurrence within the leftist tribe, often they cannot stop themselves from taking their ordinary crazy to new levels of insane nonsense. The Democrat Party making a claim that Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving 2017 with Jeffrey Epstein is one of those cases.
Donald Trump was President Trump in November of 2017 and the entire press pool travels with him or sits in wait for his next move. Dozens of journalists were with President Trump in November of 2017 when Donald and Melania Trump spent the day with the U.S. Coast Guard in Florida for the holiday. Any quick reference check would discover this day’s events.
President Trump even did a video conference with ♦Army: 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan; ♦Marines: Direct Support Team Golf (2ndMarine Raider Battalion) in Iraq; ♦Navy: The USS Monterey 5th Fleet at sea; ♦Air Force: 74th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron in Incirlik Turkey; and ♦Coast Guard*: USCG Wrangell at Kuwait Navy Base, and held a press conference. Then they went to the Florida Coast Guard for dinner.
The Democrat Party deleted their claim after people began laughing at their stupidity and ridiculing them. However, President Trump turns the issue upon the DNC, and announces his request for the DOJ to investigate exactly who Jeffrey Epstein was associated with.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has had enough. The European Union is consistently targeting him for his position against the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and western elements of the intelligence apparatus have been trying to undermine Orban’s government for years.
Against the most recent revelations of direct corruption connected to the government of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Orban says, “enough.”
Prime Minister Orban – “The golden illusion of Ukraine is falling apart. A wartime mafia network with countless ties to President [Zelensky has been exposed. The energy minister has already resigned, and the main suspect has fled the country.
This is the chaos into which the Brusselian elite want to pour European taxpayers’ money, where whatever isn’t shot off on the front lines ends up in the pockets of the war mafia. Madness.
Thank you, but we want no part of this. We will not send the Hungarian people’s money to Ukraine. It can be put to far better use at home: this week alone we doubled foster parents’ allowances and approved the 14th month’s pension.
Anyhow, after all this, we certainly won’t give in to the Ukrainian president’s financial demands and blackmail. It’s high time Brussels finally understood where their money is really going.” [SOURCE]
PM Orban and President Donald Trump are allies and personal friends. No doubt they both spoke about this.
