Trump has built a UFC fighting arena on the White House South Lawn for his birthday party on June 14th, and now he's comparing it to the Eiffel Tower and thinking maybe it should just stay there permanently. The Eiffel Tower started out temporary too, so clearly a UFC arena on the lawn of the most prestigious address in the world is the next logical landmark, according to Trump. The South Lawn — where dignitaries are welcomed, Easter Egg Rolls have been hosted, and where Presidents have departed on Marine One — is now a fight venue.

The "UFC Freedom Fights 250" will take place on June 14.

Trump's economic adviser Kevin Hassett wants you to believe that paying more for gas and groceries is a sign you're "optimistic about the future." Meanwhile, inflation is at its highest since 2023, real wages are shrinking, and consumer confidence is at record lows. He even dismissed the polls proving Americans are struggling as just "Democrats being angry." That's not economic analysis — that's gaslighting. Don't let them reframe your financial pain as a good thing.

President Donald Trump’s top economic adviser thinks that Americans spending more on everything is a sign of their optimism about the future. “People are spending more on gas,” Kevin Hassett, 64, dire...

Ebola is spreading through the DRC and Uganda — and the Trump administration's decision to gut USAID and pull the US out of the WHO has crippled the global response. Foreign aid to the DRC collapsed from $1.4 billion in 2024 to just $146 million — medical clinics have closed, health workers are paying out of their own pockets for basic supplies, and there is no approved vaccine or treatment for this rare strain. This is what "America First" costs — and it's being paid in human lives. US aid to developing countries isn't charity — it's a frontline defense that keeps deadly diseases like Ebola from spreading worldwide and eventually reaching American shores.

As a deadly Ebola outbreak tears through northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo, many first responders are turning a critical eye on events that preceded the crisis: layoffs of health workers funded by the United States, shortages of critical medical supplies and a steep reduction in American su...

With most artists now withdrawing from the Trump-backed "Great American State Fair" concerts, Trump has taken to Truth Social calling to just cancel the whole thing — and replace it with a giant Make America Great Again rally, with himself as the main attraction. He's even boasted that he draws bigger crowds than Elvis! Trump will now personally host the opening ceremony on June 24.

President Donald J. Trump took on 'third rate artists' getting nervous about administration-backed concerts, proposing a different event starring himself.
