Embattled former first son Hunter Biden raised eyebrows on Thursday when he said he&#8217;d be &#8220;open&#8221; to a &#8220;cage match&#8221; with two of President Donald Trump&#8217;s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
The younger Biden announced that he&#8217;d been invited — and that he had accepted the invitation — to join Andrew Callaghan&#8217;s Channel Five Carnival Tour. The tour is described as a blend of live music, rap battles, magic, and full screenings of controversial documentaries. Biden then added that Callaghan had pitched a finale idea that he couldn&#8217;t pass up: a &#8220;cage match&#8221; in which he would face both Eric and Donald Trump Jr.

&#8220;Hey guys, Hunter Biden here,&#8221; Biden said, speaking directly to the camera. &#8220;I just got a call from Andrew Callaghan. He asked me to come out on the Channel Five Carnival Tour at the end of the month. I think we start in Phoenix and then we go to San Diego, and we end in Albuquerque. And I think he&#8217;s trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr. I told him I&#8217;d do it, 100% in if he can pull it off. And if he can&#8217;t, I&#8217;m still coming.&#8221;
A <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/04/09/us-news/hunter-biden-is-too-broke-to-pay-lawyer-challenges-trumps-sons-to-a-cage-match/">report</a> from the New York Post, published on Friday, suggested that Hunter Biden might be less motivated by revenge fantasy than by his own personal financial situation. The report alleged that Biden, who has been living abroad, is deep in debt and struggling to pay his attorneys.
And if Hunter Biden&#8217;s posturing sounds familiar, it should: his father, former President Joe Biden, once made a similar remark about confronting President Trump.
During a 2018 speech, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/21/politics/joe-biden-donald-trump">Biden</a> famously told a room full of College Democrats at the University of Miami, &#8220;They asked me would I like to debate this gentleman, and I said no. I said, ‘If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.'&#8221;
Trump fired back at Biden via X (still Twitter at the time), saying, &#8220;Crazy Joe Biden is trying to act like a tough guy. Actually, he is weak, both mentally and physically, and yet he threatens me, for the second time, with physical assault. He doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way. Don’t threaten people Joe!&#8221;

Eric Trump on Monday offered a first look at plans for the Trump Presidential Library, a massive structure that he said would be built on the waterfront in Miami, Florida.
&#8220;FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here. Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump,&#8221; the president&#8217;s second son posted on X. &#8220;This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known.&#8221;
&#8220;These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!&#8221; he concluded.

The design, according to the video posted by Trump, was attributed to the renowned Miami-based architecture firm Bermello Ajamil, a Woolpert Company. The single tower stretched tall above the Miami skyline and included a base large enough to accommodate a presidential jet on the main floor.
The name &#8220;TRUMP,&#8221; in all caps, was emblazoned on the side of the tower, and interior mock-ups showed an auditorium with a large golden statue of President Donald Trump, along with replicas of the Oval Office, the still-in-progress ballroom, and other parts of the White House.
&#8220;Miami deserves this building. It will be a masterpiece, the likes of which have never been seen in Florida or really anywhere,” Eric Trump told The Miami Herald. Trump has been involved in the library&#8217;s design and planning from the start and has been instrumental in lobbying the state of Florida to provide the land for his father&#8217;s foundation.
Miami Dade County Commissioner Roberto Gonzalez was also a fan of the project, responding to the president&#8217;s son in an X <a href="https://x.com/RobJGonzalezFL/status/2038780540896067804">post</a>, congratulating him on a job well done so far.
&#8220;@Erictrump, from a proud Miami-Dade resident to another — thank you. You put together the most impactful Presidential Library of our lifetime — a stunning waterfront landmark for the ages,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Leaders like @realDonaldTrump @POTUS come once every 100 years. Miami-Dade County is the perfect home. Absolute honor for our county. Spectacular work, brother!&#8221;

Even if your dad is the President of the United States, he&#8217;s only a phone call away.
Eric Trump, along with his wife, Lara, and conservative commentator Benny Johnson, was at Auburn University for a Turning Point USA event on Wednesday night when he picked up his phone and called his father.
&#8220;It says &#8216;Dad POTUS&#8217; on his phone, just so you know,&#8221; Eric&#8217;s wife, Lara, told the crowd.
&#8220;Hello,&#8221; Trump said. That&#8217;s all it took for the crowd to go wild.
The students immediately did what all Gen Zers do — took out their phones and started recording.
&#8220;I just want to say hi to everybody. I hope Eric is doing a good job,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;I love you all, the country is doing great.&#8221;
The crowd was even more hyped up when the president talked about his love for Auburn.
&#8220;Auburn is a special place, I&#8217;ve been there many times, and I know many people from that area, number one, and from that school,&#8221; Trump said.
In Trump fashion, he mentioned how well he did in Alabama last November and praised the students for their turnout in the 2024 election. Trump also mentioned the late Charlie Kirk, saying that he played a huge role in Republicans’ 2024 election victory.
&#8220;I just want to pay my respects to Charlie and Erika, these are great people,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;We know Charlie is looking down on us.&#8221;
Trump then went full dad mode again on Eric, telling his son, &#8220;You better do a good job, these are smart people they know if you&#8217;re not doing a good job and they will report back to me.&#8221;
After the call, the crowd erupted into chants of &#8220;USA! USA!&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

Auburn&#8217;s TPUSA event drew thousands to Neville Arena, with students lining up hours before the start of the event to make sure they had a seat.

Eric and Lara were also joined by Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville on Auburn&#8217;s stop for the &#8220;This is The Turning Point Tour.&#8221;
Tuberville, who coached football at Auburn and won six Iron Bowls in a row, told the college students that they must continue where Charlie left off.
&#8220;I&#8217;m telling you this as a so-called politician, politicians aren&#8217;t going to help you,&#8221; Tuberville said. &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be your generation that gets this mess straightened out.&#8221;
&#8220;This is The Turning Point Tour&#8221; continues Monday at UC Berkeley with more stops being announced soon.
Erika Kirk, who joined the tour at Ole Miss, told Fox News host Jesse Watters Wednesday night she can feel Charlie&#8217;s presence on college campuses.
Trump told the Auburn students that he also believes Charlie is looking down at them.
&#8220;He&#8217;s looking down on us right now, all of us,&#8221; Trump said over the phone.
It&#8217;s the first time Trump has been part of a TPUSA campus event since Charlie&#8217;s assassination.
He wrapped up his phone call with the crowd, just like any good dad would.
&#8220;I love you all as President of the United States, I love you all.&#8221;

Donald Trump and son, Eric.

Turning Point USA

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is getting dragged for once again featuring a drag queen reading a book by a conservative author to young children.
Kimmel invited back “RuPaul’s Drag Race” contestant Trixie Mattel, whose legal name is Brian Firkus, to read from Eric Trump’s new memoir “Under Siege: My Family&#8217;s Fight to Save Our Nation” for the bit, which aired last week.
Kimmel mentioned the reviews for the newly published book during his opening monologue.
&#8220;There&#8217;s one star and five star; there&#8217;s nothing in between, which is sad because it shows how divided this country is, and that&#8217;s not good for anyone,&#8221; Kimmel said. &#8220;So in order to build a bridge and to join hands through literature, we asked a prominent member of the Left to read Eric Trump&#8217;s book to young people so they could decide on their own what they think about it.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Trump Can’t Stop Blaming and Bragging, Fox News Has a Grip on Him &amp; We See His &quot;Hellhole&quot; Cities" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zwu4fJ_eeq8?start=626&#038;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>
He then cut to footage of Firkus, who walked into a room full of children in full drag and asked them, “Do I scare any of you?” to which they all said no.
&#8220;You just look amazing. Why would that be scary?&#8221; one little girl replied.
Firkus asked the kids if they wanted to help pick a book to read and joked, &#8220;Because this is, after all, a democracy. As of this morning, it&#8217;s still a democracy. I&#8217;m not sure &#8230;&#8221;
&#8220;Would you like to read a book by President Trump?&#8221; the drag performer asked, prompting the kids to boo and say no. &#8220;Hold up. What about President Trump&#8217;s least favorite son?&#8221; Firkus asked.

During the exchange, the drag performer questioned a child about being potty trained before joking that Eric Trump wasn’t.
&#8220;Listen, we have to pay respect because this ghost writer worked really hard on this,&#8221; Firkus said before reading from the book. 
He only got through a few lines before one of the children said, &#8220;Okay, I&#8217;m going to stop you there. Instead of skipping this page, we should skip the entire book. No, instead, we should skip the entire storytime and just go straight to lunch because I&#8217;m pretty hungry right now.&#8221; The drag queen offered the child a Lunchable out of his trunk.
Firkus read more from the book, saying, &#8220;How is it that my father — who spent over four decades in the public eye — never once received a speeding ticket, triumphed in the 2016 campaign and became President of the United States and was suddenly charged with almost every crime imaginable, and many unimaginable in the aftermath?&#8221; 
One child claimed that it &#8220;doesn&#8217;t make any sense.&#8221; After asking the children for their opinions, one said, &#8220;I would kick him in the [censored].&#8221;
The drag queen told the kids he wanted to show them a &#8220;special science experiment&#8221; before taking them outside to stand in front of a wood chipper.
&#8220;This might not be a great book, but it&#8217;s going to make excellent confetti,&#8221; he said, throwing Eric&#8217;s memoir into the chipper as the kids cheered. &#8220;Alright, let&#8217;s go to happy hour,&#8221; he said at the end of the bit. “I have a drink ticket.”
There were many reactions to the unfunny bit on X.
“The goal of drag is to expose kids to alternate queer identities. Disgusting groomers,” Libs of TikTok <a href="https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1980098617714319551">replied</a>.
“Late-night TV has officially jumped the shark,” another reply <a href="https://x.com/wienerdogwifi/status/1980101370142138868">said</a>. “Jimmy Kimmel brought a grown man dressed in drag to read a children’s book on national television — turning what should’ve been family entertainment into a political stunt mocking Trump. Hollywood keeps insisting this is ‘progress,’ but let’s call it what it is: social engineering. The goal isn’t laughter anymore — it’s indoctrination.”
“Jimmy keeps hitting new lows,” a third person <a href="https://x.com/BrandoRepublic/status/1980229394703827220">said</a>.
Kimmel is fresh off a one-week <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-returns-addresses-charlie-kirk-comments-in-teary-non-apology">suspension</a> for comments he made about Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination. While his supporters in Hollywood cried censorship, Kimmel has spent his time back bashing President Trump as usual and watching his ratings <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jimmy-kimmels-ratings-spike-crashes-back-down-to-his-usual-terrible-numbers">plummet</a>.
The drag queen stunt from Kimmel is nothing new. In 2023, he <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jimmy-kimmel-finds-perfect-way-120517841.html">did the same bit</a> with Trixie Mattel, only this time he was reading Ted Cruz’s book, “Unwoke: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.”

Eric Trump joked about how far his father has come in just the last year, noting that one year ago — while on the campaign trail — he&#8217;d been serving up french fries at a McDonald&#8217;s drive-through.
Trump joined Newsmax host Greta Van Susteren on Monday, just hours after a peace deal brokered by his father had resulted in the release of the last 20 Israeli hostages who had been held in Gaza by Hamas terrorists since their abduction on October 7, 2023.

&#8220;He&#8217;s saving the world, and that&#8217;s after everything they did to us, Greta,&#8221; the younger Trump agreed, recalling the many attacks that his father had sustained on his road back to the White House. &#8220;He&#8217;s literally saving the world, as you said, I mean a year ago he was serving french fries and now he’s commander in chief who just got Middle East peace.&#8221;

<h2>Trump Demands Unconditional Surrender From Iran, Weighs Military Options</h2>

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>

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.
<a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1724211156439000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2xQ8bdTcpfdrPBAzczIuck">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a>
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>.

Buy here for a theater near you.</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.
<a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1723831990829000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3t-JaLPfXbCT45cr5z1k7F">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a>
“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;
