Trump names pardoned father of Jared Kushner to key diplomatic role: Live

Joe Rogan has claimed that a “media psy-op” is responsible for creating a negative image of Donald Trump that has “distorted” people’s perception of the president-elect.

The MMA commentator and popular podcast host noted an apparent shift in media treatment of the president-elect dating back to a time before his first term in office.

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday threatened 100 percent tariffs against a bloc of nine nations if they act to undermine the US dollar.

His threat was aimed at countries in the so-called BRIC alliance, which consists of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Donald Trump has announced that Charles Kusher, father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, will be the new US ambassador to France.

“He is a tremendous business leader, philanthropist and dealmaker who will be a strong advocate for our country and its interests,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.

“Charlie is the founder and chairman of Kushner Companies, one of the largest and most successful privately held real estate firms in the country.

“Congratulations to Charlie, his wonderful wife Seryl, their 4 children and 14 grandchildren. His son, Jared, worked closely with me in the White House, particularly on Operation Warp Speed, Criminal Justice Reform, and the Abraham Accords. Together, we will strengthen America’s partnership with France, our oldest ally and one of our greatest!”

In 2005, Kushner – a lawyer – was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering and was sentenced to two years in prison. As a convicted felon, he was also disbarred in three states.

He was later pardoned by Trump during his first term, in December 2020.

After winning the election and taking power, Republicans are planning an ambitious 100-day agenda with President-elect Donald Trump in the White House and GOP lawmakers in a congressional majority to achieve their policy goals.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau discussed a wide range of topics with Donald Trump as the pair sat down for a three-hour dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, days after the president-elect threatened Canada and other international trading partners with sweeping tariffs. .

Neither Trump nor Trudeau publicly announced the meeting, but the Canadian official was seen leaving a hotel in the area and told reporters he and Trump had enjoyed an “excellent conversation.”

Pete Hegseth, the man Donald Trump has chosen to be secretary of defense, has come under fire from Democrats and other liberal pundits after he was labeled a “woman abuser” by his own mother.

A report by The New York Times included a 2018 email to former Fox News anchor Penelope Hegseth in which she said she had “no respect” for her son and that he should “take an honest look at yourself.”

Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur turned political adviser, announced on X that he intends to push Donald Trump’s administration to get rid of the Consumer of Financial Protection Bureau, a financial watchdog agency.

The remarkable announcement, made in a nine-word response to a clip from The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, is part of Musk’s new role as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — the committee that advises Trump on how to can cut down on government spending.
