<h2>Trump Demands Unconditional Surrender From Iran, Weighs Military Options</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-936039" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_00_21_19.Still001-6.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_00_21_19.Still001-6.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_00_21_19.Still001-6-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: Trump warns Iran to surrender or face the consequences.
As the U.S. weighs intervention in Iran, President Trump is warning the Ayatollah that his patience is wearing thin. The fighting is showing no signs of slowing down as Israel targets Iran’s nuclear and military facilities and Iran targets whatever they can hit, including civilian populations.
On Tuesday, Israel said it killed Ali Shadmani, Iran’s senior military commander. Shadmani had only been in the position for three days after replacing his predecessor, who was killed in a separate strike Friday. The Israelis also launched successful strikes on the Natanz enrichment facility — a crucial part of Iran’s nuclear program. We’re still awaiting a full assessment of the damage, but one Israeli official told the Wall Street Journal the facility may have imploded.
Iran claims it struck an Israeli military intelligence center in Tel Aviv, though Israel says most of the strikes have targeted civilian areas. Elsewhere, Iranian missiles hit the Weizmann Institute of Science — Israeli officials say years&#8217; worth of medical and scientific research was destroyed in the strike.
Donald Trump is still weighing his options and seriously considering joining the war. The president convened his national security team for a Situation Room meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Just before that meeting took place, Trump posted on <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114699514822488706">Truth Social</a>, “We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’”
That use of the word “we” turned heads in Washington. While the White House says the president was referring to American weapons and not Americans directly, it’s quite the departure from a few days ago when the president said America was playing no role in the conflict.
The president also <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114699610769479275">wrote</a> on Tuesday, “We know exactly where the so-called &#8216;Supreme Leader&#8217; [of Iran] is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there &#8211; We are not going to take him out (kill!), at least not for now. But we don’t want missiles shot at civilians, or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
<h2>The Senate Investigates Biden&#8217;s Cognitive Decline/Cover-Up</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-936037" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_04.Still002-2.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_04.Still002-2.jpeg 640w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/06/SEGMENT-HEADERS.00_01_21_04.Still002-2-300x169.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></div>
Topline: Senate Republicans hold a hearing to investigate who was in charge during Joe Biden’s presidency.
The Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on Wednesday as part of its investigation into what was going on behind the scenes during Biden’s presidency. Among the questions they’re asking: who was really running the country amid the president’s cognitive decline – and were media outlets colluding to cover it up?
“Everybody could see the clear decline of Joe Biden,” said Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO). “The media tried to dismiss it as &#8216;cheap fakes.&#8217; There was sort of one excuse after another. The Democrats were saying he&#8217;s sharper than he&#8217;s ever been, and they had the left-wing media parroting those talking points, too. And it just is a really dangerous kind of road to go down, to have the one person that&#8217;s elected by the entire country be mentally incompetent. … Personally, I think this scandal is bigger than Watergate, but everybody&#8217;s very eager to sweep it under the rug. And I just don&#8217;t think the American people should accept that.”
In February 2024, Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to prosecute President Biden for mishandling of classified documents, saying it would be difficult to convict him because “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” That report was widely decried at the time, but more recently, whistleblowers from the Biden White House have come forward with their own stories about the former president’s mental decline and the concerted effort to hide it from the American public – notably in interviews with CNN’s Jake Tapper cited in &#8220;Original Sin: President Biden&#8217;s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&#8221; which reignited the controversy.
Schmitt told The Daily Wire that the use of the president’s autopen would be a key subject of the hearing on Wednesday – there are claims that many of the executive orders issued by the Biden administration might have been signed by staffers without his knowledge, although Biden has publicly denied those accusations.

Topline: Don Jr. and Eric Trump open up to Morning Wire ten years after their father&#8217;s fateful escalator ride that launched his first successful presidential campaign.
Ten years ago this week, Donald Trump changed American politics forever by announcing a run for the White House. His two elder sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, celebrated that anniversary at an event in Manhattan, where they spoke to Daily Wire White House correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan about the MAGA movement and its impact on their family and the world.
Donald Trump Jr: &#8220;Before the fateful sort of escalator ride down, my father looked at me right in the eyes. He [said], &#8216;Now we find out who our real friends are.&#8217;… He knew how difficult it was gonna be. He knew his friends would turn on him, but more importantly, he knew that was gonna happen and he did it anyway.&#8221;
Eric Trump: &#8220;He’s done amazing things for this nation. And, as a son, I’m truly proud of his fight, of his tenacity, of everything that he’s given up for this country. I mean, they tried to kill him &#8212; multiple times. … He’s tough as hell, and hopefully he’s a great example to so many that will follow because that’s exactly what we need in America.&#8221;

The Trump Organization on Monday <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aax7DFNSNUE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> Trump Mobile, an American-based cellular network that aims to bring “American values” to the wireless industry.
The launch — which marks a decade since President Donald Trump announced his first presidential campaign — featured Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, both executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization. Both Trumps spoke at the Manhattan launch alongside other partners.
&#8220;One of the places where we felt there was lackluster performance was in the mobile industry,” Donald Trump Jr. said. His brother touched on the necessity to increase domestic production of technology, saying, &#8220;It’s about time we bring products back to our great country.&#8221;
Donald Jr. said, &#8220;With Trump Mobile, we&#8217;re going to be introducing an entire package of products.&#8221;
The <a href="https://trumpmobile.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">service</a> boasts &#8220;The 47 Plan,&#8221; a $47.45 per month, 5G nationwide network with unlimited telehealth services, roadside assistance, and unlimited texting to about 100 countries. The organization also announced a new line of smartphones, the first of which, the T1, is listed at $499. The gold-colored T1 smartphone, which is only available through preorder, has &#8220;T1&#8221; and the American flag engraved on the back.
One of the other partners spoke about the service&#8217;s specific benefits. He said that, &#8220;We have your health, we have your phone&#8217;s health, we have your car&#8217;s health- we&#8217;re taking care of what matters to the American people most, which is getting to work, taking their family out, and doing things that are worthwhile.&#8221;
According to the Trump Mobile <a href="https://trumpmobile.com/about-us">website</a>, &#8220;At Trump Mobile, we believe wireless service should reflect American values — simple, honest, and built for hardworking people. [&#8230;] With Trump Mobile, you don’t just get a phone plan — you get service powered by American pride, freedom, and integrity.&#8221;
In a statement on the <a href="https://www.trump.com/media/trump-mobile-launches-a-bold-new-wireless-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump Organization’s website</a>, Eric Trump said, &#8220;We&#8217;re especially proud to offer free long-distance calling to our military members and their families — because those serving overseas should always be able to stay connected to the people they love back home.&#8221;
Eric Trump said at the press conference that &#8220;All of your customer service will be done in America. It will be done in St. Louis, Missouri.&#8221; He also called the venture &#8220;All-American, based here in America, with an American family.&#8221;
This new enterprise is the first major endeavor by The Trump Organization since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-begins-presidency-as-a-crypto-billionaire-with-meme-coins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$TRUMP</a>, a digital memecoin, launched a few days before Trump took the oath of office in January.
Some <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/06/16/trump-organization-mobile-phones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commentators</a> worry that the Trump Organization’s entrance into the mobile service market will bias the president against companies like Samsung and Apple, whose manufacturing is international and subject to American tariffs.
The T1 phone is available for preorder for $100 and is expected to arrive around September.

Love him or hate him, we can’t ignore that when it comes to parenting, Donald Trump seems to be a pretty good father. The proof is evident in the behavior of his kids. Certainly, kids who have an ax to grind don’t act like his kids do.
First, adult sons and daughters who harbor deep anger toward a parent never speak highly of him or her, regardless of how famous they are. In fact, fame can be an ideal opportunity for angry kids to humiliate their parents. Trump’s older kids, Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr. don’t behave this way. In fact, they have no reason to publicly support their father so enthusiastically other than the belief that their father is a good and capable man. Sure, they may want to applaud him to further their own careers, but they don’t need to do this. They are each highly successful on their own. If they had lukewarm sentiments about their dad, they would at least fade into the background. But they haven’t. They have taken advantage of large public platforms to convince us that he has strong character and extraordinarily strong abilities to improve America. They wouldn’t do this if they believed that his intentions were other than altruistic. The fact that they have successfully convinced millions of Americans that he has what it takes to lead our country can only come from sincere sentiments.
Second, both his daughter-in-law and son-in-law are two of his most ardent supporters. How many in-laws boast about their father-in-law not only privately, but also publicly? Lara has no motive to boast other than genuine admiration and Jared could certainly stay silent.
When it comes to his business life, Trump puts his grown kids front and center. Fathers who want to dominate the spotlight, don’t do this. They own the public space and keep their adult kids in the background, in part, to avoid the risk that their kids will make derogatory statements about them. Trump takes the risk because he is confident they won’t humiliate or criticize him. He knows they will always support him.
When Trump’s older kids were young, he protected them from the paparazzi. He worked to keep his kids out of the spotlight until they wanted to jump into it of their own volition. His first three kids went away to school so that the press would leave them alone. Tiffany and Barron now enjoy that same privacy so they too can live their own lives. The president-elect could easily push all of them into the spotlight to make himself look like a good father, but he doesn’t. Eric, Ivanka, and Donald Jr., along with Lara Trump, put themselves in the public and political arenas to bolster President-elect Trump’s career.
When it comes to raising his family, Trump appears to have nothing to hide. Most fathers would be afraid to give their kids the freedom to say what they want about their dad. Who among us would have the confidence to give our kids such a large media presence to say whatever they want about us? Not me. Only a father who feels confident about the job he has done would do so.
Many divorced couples carry resentment and anger after their breakup with their spouse and psychologists know how damaging the animosity can be on the couple’s kids. Donald has kept his kids from a lot of pain by embracing friendships with his two ex-wives. And while Ivana Trump passed away in 2022, we still see photos of Marla Maples, Melania, and Donald standing together smiling for the camera at Tiffany Trump’s wedding.
The peculiar thing about the president-elect’s life is that he seems to have successfully split himself into two men: the father and the political genius. In his former role, he appears to have worked hard at having close relationships with his kids. To the best of his ability, he has tried to spend as much time as possible with them. This is no easy task when you are running a multi-million-dollar real estate empire and then while being president. Succeeding at both takes impossible time and energy and yet, with these challenges, he has somehow stayed close with his kids.

The other side of Trump is hard to applaud. He has been accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment and harmful sexual behavior toward women. He has admitted to being a poor husband at times, and his numerous public affairs with women confirm this. Good husbands don’t cheat on their wives or sexually harass other women. The peculiar part is that his five kids know this and still publicly support and encourage him. This occurs only because, in some genuinely incredible feat, Trump has found a way to communicate to his kids that being their father is a much higher priority than even being a husband, businessman, or politician. His life as a father is completely separate from his work life, and his kids must feel this. If they refused to forgive or ignore his deep flaws they would take every opportunity to denounce him on the worldwide stage.
Donald Trump is a complex man. He is both a good man and a villain. This is hard for people to understand. The truth is, however, that we are all complex beings. Like him, we are not simply good or evil, kind or cruel. We are both. Certainly, as a man, Trump has made poor decisions, and offended many people to the point where they despise him. But clearly, he has done something well when it comes to his kids. And their behavior is a testimony to his personal success as a father.

The leaders of President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>’s transition team announced Wednesday that they would be spending the next few weeks preparing to staff the next administration. 
Linda McMahon, former head of the Small Business Administration (SBA), and businessman Howard Lutnick released a <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3222075/trump-transition-team-statement-election-victory-transition-process/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> detailing the transition team&#8217;s next steps after Trump&#8217;s landslide win. As of Thursday morning, Trump was projected to win the popular vote and 312 electoral votes, including a sweep of the battleground states. 
“Since the formation of President Trump’s transition organization and our announcement as Co-Chairs in August, we have been preparing for President Trump’s next administration,” McMahon and Lutnick said. “In the days and weeks ahead, President Trump will be selecting personnel to serve our nation under his leadership and enact policies that make the life of Americans affordable, safe, and secure.”
The two added that they would be presenting Trump with a “wide array of experts” to choose from to add to his administration. 
“As he chooses the best people to join his team and best policies to pursue, his transition team will ensure the implementation of President Trump’s common sense agenda starting on Day 1,” the joint statement said.
McMahon, the wife of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, led the SBA during Trump’s first term in office and has recently been in charge of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank. Lutnick, the billionaire head of financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald, was a prominent donor to Trump.

Other transition team members include Vice President-elect JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 
Trump Jr. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-reveals-who-will-lead-his-transition-team-if-he-wins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously said</a> he hoped to keep bad-faith actors from joining the administration. 
“I want to block the liars. I want to block the guys that are, you know, pretending they’re with you. I just want to block the bad actors. I just want to be a block. That’s it,” he said at the Republican National Convention in July. 
Trump is scheduled to meet with President Joe Biden in the coming days.
“President Trump looks forward to the meeting, which will take place shortly, and very much appreciated the call,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung said after Biden called to congratulate Trump. 
Biden is expected to speak Thursday morning from the White House for the first time since Tuesday’s election.

Former President Donald Trump has added former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — who just last Friday suspended his campaign in key swing states to support Trump — to his transition team.
According to a Tuesday <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/27/us/politics/trump-transition-rfk-tulsi-gabbard.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from The New York Times, Gabbard and Kennedy will join Trump&#8217;s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as Senator JD Vance (R-OH) as &#8220;honorary co-chairs&#8221; of his transition team, the group that will aid in the former president&#8217;s efforts to fill out his new administration if he wins re-election in November.
&#8220;I’ve been asked to go on the transition team, you know, and to help pick the people who will be running the government,&#8221; Kennedy confirmed the decision during an interview that aired on Monday.

Trump campaign senior adviser Brian Hughes told the NYT that the former president was pleased to have the two former Democrats on board, saying that the campaign was &#8220;proud that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard have been added to the Trump/Vance Transition team. We look forward to having their powerful voices on the team as we work to restore America’s greatness.&#8221;
Gabbard had previously endorsed Trump in the race against President Joe Biden but <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tulsi-gabbard-announces-plan-to-support-trump-end-yet-another-kamala-campaign" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reiterated that support</a> on Monday after joining him to pay her respects to the 13 service members who lost their lives in the botched Biden-Harris administration withdrawal from Afghanistan.
&#8220;I am proud to stand here before you today, whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or an independent, if you love our country as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom as we do, I invite you to join me in doing all we can to save our country and elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to the White House to do the tough work of saving our country and serving the people,&#8221; she said.

Gabbard has long been a harsh critic of the Democratic National Committee, claiming that it routinely favors certain candidates while suppressing others. She <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/congresswoman-endorses-bernie-sanders-steps-down-dnc-n527481" target="_blank" rel="noopener">left a position</a> within the DNC in order to endorse Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democratic primary.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jr-explains-what-maga-really-means-after-trump-endorsement" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kennedy</a> said he would remove his name from the ballot in key swing states and encourage his supporters to vote for Trump. He argued that the Democratic Party had turned its back not only on him but on the voters when they ousted Biden from the 2024 ticket and replaced him with Vice President Kamala Harris without a vote from the people.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump revealed on Friday that two major donors and two of his sons will lead his transition team if he wins a second term in the White House.
Trump tapped former Small Business Administration (SBA) head Linda McMahon and businessman Howard Lutnick to lead the transition team. Trump&#8217;s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, will serve as &#8220;honorary chairs&#8221; of the team, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4830976-trump-transition-team-announced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
“The 2024 GOP Platform to Make America Great Again is a forward-looking agenda that will deliver safety, prosperity and freedom for the American people. My administration will deliver on these bold promises,” Trump said in a statement. “We will restore strength, competence and common sense to the Oval Office. I have absolute confidence the Trump-Vance Administration will be ready to govern effectively on Day One.”
McMahon, the wife of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, led the SBA during Trump&#8217;s first term in office and has recently been in charge of the pro-Trump think tank America First Policy Institute. Lutnick, the billionaire head of financial firm Cantor Fitzgerald, hosted a fundraiser for Trump earlier this month where around 100 people joined the Republican nominee in the Hamptons, according to <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/lutnick-aims-raise-10-million-151520706.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg</a>.

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump held influential positions in their father&#8217;s first administration and would once again take on advisory roles if Trump wins in November. Donald Jr. said during the Republican National Convention that he wants &#8220;veto power&#8221; over who his father picks to serve in a second Trump administration.
“I want to block the liars. I want to block the guys that are, you know, pretending they’re with you. I just want to block the bad actors. I just want to be a block. That’s it,” he said. Donald Jr. and Eric <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-chose-jd-vance-running-mate-vp-pick-rcna161982" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> urged their father to select Vance as his running mate.
Trump&#8217;s selection of two business-oriented supporters to lead his transition team comes as no surprise as the former president seeks to hammer home his message on the economy on the campaign trail. This week, the Republican nominee held an event in North Carolina and a press conference in New Jersey where he slammed the Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s handling of the economy and inflation.
In Asheville, North Carolina, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-kamala-must-explain-the-economic-suffering-shes-caused-along-with-joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> on his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, to &#8220;explain&#8221; the economic &#8220;suffering&#8221; Americans currently face.

“Kamala Harris wants to talk about her fantasies … she wants to talk for the future about these fantasies, but really what she needs to explain is the present suffering that she has caused along with Joe Biden,” Trump said.
Harris was blasted earlier this week for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-blasted-after-unveiling-soviet-style-price-controls-to-stop-inflation-kamalanomics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposing</a> price controls to address inflation, blaming cost increases on &#8220;corporate greed&#8221; and ignoring the Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s economic and energy policies.
“Now Kamala is reportedly proposing communist price controls, she wants price controls,” Trump said on Thursday at his press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey. “And if they worked, I’d go along with it, too, but they don’t work. They exactly have the exact opposite impact and effect &#8230; it leads to food shortages, rationing, hunger, dramatically more inflation.”

Trump Reveals Who Will Lead His Transition Team If He Wins Election

White House

Eric Trump said on Sunday that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/secret-service" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Secret Service</a> Director Kimberly Cheatle should resign after the attempted assassination of his father, former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>, at a rally last weekend.
The younger Trump explained his position during an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6358754546112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> on Fox News as Cheatle faces a crisis of confidence in her leadership following the security failure at the campaign event in Pennsylvania.
&#8220;The director of the Secret Service should resign in absolute disgrace,&#8221; Eric Trump told &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; anchor Maria Bartiromo.
Eric Trump accused Cheatle of lying to the America people and suggested her boss, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, is trying to obstruct a congressional inquiry into the attack.
One particular claim Eric Trump dismissed was Cheatle&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homeland-security-inspector-general-investigating-secret-service-over-trump-rally-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assertion</a> that the Secret Service did not place a unit on the rooftop where the shooter opened fire because it was sloped.
Emphasizing how relatively flat the roof seems to be, he said, &#8220;If there was any less grade on that roof, you would have birdbaths on the top of it, right?&#8221;
He added, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to hear this, that the Secret Service sniper — and I know many of them, and they are the most in-shape, phenomenal people &#8230; couldn&#8217;t navigate that roof.&#8221;

Questions <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/politics/secret-service-faces-serious-questions-about-security-footprint-and-rooftop-access-at-trump-event/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have been raised</a> about how a shooter, identified as a 20-year-old Pennsylvania man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to get onto a nearby rooftop and begin shooting.
President Trump survived, but a bullet ripped through his right year. One rally-goer was killed and two others were injured. The shooter was killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Multipole investigations are underway, including the wide-ranging inquiry in the GOP-led House, which has a hearing with Cheatle scheduled for Monday.
A lack of accountability following the shooting and letting Cheatle remain in her job &#8220;shows how disgraceful and inept&#8221; the Biden administration is, Eric Trump said.
&#8220;She should be out of a job,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They should put somebody in there that&#8217;s competent. The reality is, I don&#8217;t care. This is not a political issue. There&#8217;s no politics involved in this issue.&#8221;
Eric Trump said a former president getting shot is a &#8220;sign to the entire world of the weakness of America when something like this happens, and, God forbid, worse happened.&#8221;
Despite his criticism of Cheatle, Eric Trump made room to praise the Secret Service agents who rushed in to protect his father, saying they &#8220;did their job, and they did it incredibly well.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Trump</a> took the stage on Thursday evening to make the case for a second term for his father, former President Donald Trump — and he wrapped it up with an emotionally charged recap of the horrific assassination attempt that took place last Saturday.
The theme of his speech was simple: &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t have to be this way.&#8221;

He wove a narrative that hopped from policy to policy, talking about what was going wrong under President Joe Biden and how it could go right again if Trump returned to the White House.
Trump went on to share a series of apologies to the American people.

Trump recalled that he and the rest of the family &#8220;held our breath&#8221; while waiting to see what would happen after shots rang out and the former president was tackled to the ground by Secret Service agents.
&#8220;By the grace of God, divine intervention, and your guardian angels above, you survived,&#8221; he said. &#8220;You are the greatest fighter I have ever seen.

The crowd began chanting along with Trump then, and continued until he began to speak again.

'Your Backbone Is Unbreakable': Eric Trump Says He's 'Never Been More Proud' To Stand With His Father

assassination

Eric Trump watched the assassination attempt on his father&#8217;s life on live television with his wife and children, he said Monday.
Speaking to NBC at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJK87liHVGM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> watching the horrific event unfold in real-time.
&#8220;Two days ago I was on the couch with my children watching my father almost get assassinated on national TV,&#8221; Trump said.
&#8220;It&#8217;s always good to remember that these are human beings on both sides,&#8221; NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie said.
Trump has two small children, Luke, 6, and Carolina, 4, whom he shares with his wife, Lara Trump, who co-chairs the Republican National Committee.
Former President Donald Trump narrowly missed being killed by a bullet to the head at Saturday’s campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The bullet grazed the former president’s right ear, and he ducked behind a podium before being whisked away by Secret Service agents. He raised his fist and shouted, “Fight!” as he exited the stage.
Law enforcement returned fire immediately, killing the shooter. At least one rallygoer was killed, and two others were injured.
The rally was broadcast live on several television networks.
&#8220;Were you watching live when this happened? Did you see that unfold live or did somebody call you and say go turn on the television?&#8221; Guthrie asked Trump.
&#8220;No, I saw it live,&#8221; Trump responded. &#8220;I was there with Lara, I was there with my children, and you know, I clearly understand the sound of a bullet, and I heard the shots, and my eyes went right up to the TV and then just couldn&#8217;t believe what I was seeing.&#8221;
&#8220;You instantly see blood, you instantly see somebody on the ground, you don&#8217;t know if they were hit multiple times, and you&#8217;re just praying to God that they stand up,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And when he got up and he started pumping his fist in the air, saying &#8216;Fight, fight, fight,&#8217; even though he had blood all over his face, at least we knew he was mobile at that point, and that gave you a little bit of hope that he was going to be okay.&#8221;
&#8220;But those are not fun moments,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;It gives a whole different perspective to life and frankly the whole political narrative among the media and among people and among politics that it&#8217;s got to get toned down.&#8221;
Trump said he spoke to his father 45 minutes after the shooting.
&#8220;It was too close. This cannot happen in America. It&#8217;s just absolutely crazy,&#8221; he said.
Trump&#8217;s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., <a href="https://x.com/MaryMargOlohan/status/1813029477871411206" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> The Daily Signal that he initially got a call telling him, &#8220;Your father&#8217;s been shot&#8221; with no other details. He spoke to his father about 90 minutes later, and in the meantime he was &#8220;just trying to get all my kids together.&#8221;
Guthrie also asked Eric Trump about his father&#8217;s decision to scrap his original nomination acceptance speech after the shooting. The former president <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/grateful-defiant-trump-recounts-surreal-assassination-attempt-at-rally-im-supposed-to-be-dead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> his planned speech would have attacked the Biden administration, but his new speech is “a chance to bring the whole country, even the whole world, together.&#8221;
&#8220;I was there when he did that,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;His speech is beautiful, it&#8217;s inspirational, it&#8217;s forward-looking for this country. It&#8217;s incredibly positive. It&#8217;s exactly what we need right now.&#8221;
&#8220;As a son it&#8217;s been an emotional rollercoaster, but I&#8217;m just proud of the man. I love the guy to death. He&#8217;s the greatest father I could have ever imagined,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;His fortitude, his backbone, he&#8217;s a tremendous human being and I&#8217;m incredibly proud of him.&#8221;

Four of former President Donald Trump&#8217;s children released statements and posts online following the assassination attempt on their father during a campaign rally on Saturday.

Trump&#8217;s youngest child, Barron Trump, was reportedly with his father at the rally when the shots were fired.
The former president himself eventually released a statement on Truth Social.
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the former president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-releases-statement-after-assassination-attempt-says-he-was-shot-in-the-ear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”
“Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead,” Trump continued. “I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.&#8221;
&#8220;GOD BLESS AMERICA!” he closed the post.

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> heading to Camp David for up to a week of preparations for his upcoming debate is not a show of confidence, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eric Trump</a> argued on Sunday.
The son of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> spoke with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures&#8221; about expectations for the event.
&#8220;It&#8217;s pretty telling,&#8221; he said, &#8220;of a president who has to go to Camp David in the middle of the woods and lock himself effectively in a bunker&#8221; for so long.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Eric Trump: Trump will be debating both Biden and CNN Thursday" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5wwIwBsvJzI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Biden&#8217;s &#8220;policies are so bad that he has to figure out some way to polish them up and try and sugarcoat them&#8221; with his advisers, Eric Trump said.
Drawing a contrast, Eric Trump said his father takes debate prep &#8220;seriously&#8221; but &#8220;he&#8217;s doing what he does. He&#8217;s going all over the place campaigning.&#8221;
CNN is poised to hold the first presidential debate of the 2024 general election cycle in Atlanta next Thursday, giving the rivals 90 minutes on the air.
Biden <a href="https://apnews.com/article/debate-trump-biden-cnn-camp-david-florida-2f67b119f58136b310b625e42fad3d3a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">travelled</a> to Camp David last Thursday evening to make preparations and may stay at the Maryland retreat up until his face-off with the elder Trump.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not exactly sure if that&#8217;s if that&#8217;s a big showing of confidence,&#8221; Eric Trump quipped, remarking on Biden potentially staying at Camp David for a week.
He also pictured Biden at the retreat &#8220;trying to memorize lines, again, to explain horrible policy decisions that he&#8217;s made over the last three and a half years.&#8221;
The AP <a href="https://apnews.com/article/debate-trump-biden-cnn-camp-david-florida-2f67b119f58136b310b625e42fad3d3a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> Donald Trump will stay on the campaign trail until he returns to his Florida estate for two days of meetings and informal debate prep.
Eric Trump predicted CNN will give Biden a &#8220;free pass&#8221; while taking the opportunity to &#8220;hit&#8221; his father during the debate.
When asked if he was on board with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-announces-finalized-rules-for-first-trump-biden-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rules CNN has set</a> for the debate and the &#8220;playing field&#8221; heading into the event, the Trump son expressed confidence.
&#8220;I&#8217;m comfortable with my father. He&#8217;s got — he&#8217;s got the right message. He&#8217;s got the love of America behind him,&#8221; Eric Trump said.
&#8220;And he&#8217;s going to do — he&#8217;s going to do awesome,&#8221; Eric Trump added. &#8220;He always does. He&#8217;s good to go.&#8221;

Donald Trump&#8217;s youngest son, Barron, is stepping into politics for the first time as the 18-year-old was selected by the Florida Republican Party on Wednesday to be one of the state&#8217;s at-large delegates for the Republican National Convention, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/barron-trump-florida-delegate-republican-national-convention-rcna151388" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Barron, who will graduate from high school next week, joins his half-siblings Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Tiffany in entering Republican politics. Don Jr., Eric, and the former president&#8217;s youngest daughter Tiffany will also be among the 41 RNC delegates from Florida, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/barron-trump-enter-politics-florida-delegate-gop-convention" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>.
A Trump campaign official <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barron-trump-picked-serve-florida-delegate-republican-national/story?id=110049809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> ABC News that Barron is &#8220;on the delegation roster and &#8230; is very interested in our nation&#8217;s political process.&#8221;
Florida GOP Chair Evan Power said, &#8220;The (Republican Party of Florida) is ready for a great convention in Milwaukee, but more importantly, we are excited as we continue to lay the groundwork in Florida for success. Mark my words, we are going to win and we will win big in November!&#8221;
Barron was recently cast into the spotlight during his father&#8217;s hush-money trial in New York as Trump&#8217;s lawyers argued before Judge Juan Merchan that their client should be allowed a day off to attend his son&#8217;s graduation ceremony. Merchan agreed to allow Trump to attend Barron&#8217;s graduation, which is <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13393359/Donald-trump-barron-son-graduation-attend-ceremony.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scheduled</a> for Friday, May 17.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee is stuck in a Manhattan courtroom four days a week as he tries to campaign for the White House. Trump&#8217;s multiple civil and criminal trials have also affected his children.
In Trump&#8217;s New York civil business fraud case, Don Jr., Eric, and Ivanka all <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-family-take-stand-250-million-civil-fraud-trial-rcna122806" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testified</a> last year as the New York Democratic Attorney General sought punishment for Trump and his organization, alleging he inflated his net worth and financial statements.
