Report: Trump plots six-figure bribes to Greenland residents

Donald Trump is apparently considering sending money directly to Greenlanders as part of his plotted land grab of the Arctic island. White House officials are discussing a range of options between $10,000 and $100,000 per person to bribe them to let the US take control, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The population of Greenland sits somewhere around 57,000 and it currently remains a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. This means that on the higher end the US could end up paying Greenland residents $5.7 billion should the bribe be accepted.

RFK Jr’s duck ringtone interrupts major food announcement

It was the first White House press briefing of the new year, and a cast of President Donald Trump's top health officials took the stage. Then it was quickly interrupted by a quack. And it wasn't one of the doctors speaking. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. was addressing questions on revised US dietary guidelines for 2025 - 2030 when his phone began ringing.

Poll: Americans pick top target for next US military intervention

Donald Trump is setting his sights on Greenland after his historic capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro over the weekend – but Americans don't seem to care about acquiring the autonomous territory of Denmark. The president has repeatedly floated purchasing or obtaining the Danish territory because of its strategic location in the North Atlantic and Arctic, and his desires seems to have only heightened after the successful Delta Force operation in Venezuela. But rather than shifting their eyes north, Americans still have their focus on the Middle East – even after a 20-year war ended in Afghanistan just four years ago.

Trump addresses fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis

President Donald Trump has issued a statement addressing the deadly shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis. 'I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis, Minnesota,' the president's lengthy statement began. 'It is a horrible thing to watch.' 'The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense,' Trump continued.

Trump’s favored leader exposed as a ‘rabid Chavista’

Every morning in London, Delcy Rodriguez (pictured) - Nicolás Maduro's vice president - would pick up her tube of toothpaste and berate it as a 'capitalist product.' The ritual, recalled by former US diplomat Brett Bruen, captures the hardline ideology of the woman President Donald Trump has effectively left overseeing Venezuela's transition in the aftermath of the ouster of Maduro. Bruen, who served at the US Embassy in Caracas, calls Rodríguez a 'rabid Chavista' and a 'tried and true socialist,' and warns that the administration's approach is turning a military victory into a political farce. 'From a strategic standpoint, that's astonishingly stupid, even for him,' Bruen said of Trump's vow that the United States will 'run Venezuela.' But the toothpaste anecdote is only the surface of a deeper rift.

Pam Bondi forced to admit Trump’s Maduro claim is a complete fiction

Justice Department prosecutors under Pam Bondi were forced to admit that the central claim Trump used to lay the groundwork for ousting Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro was a fiction. The president for months has promoted the claim that Maduro was the leader of a drug cartel called Cartel de los Soles.Now DOJ prosecutors say the organization doesn't exist. Prosecutors still accused Maduro in a New York courtroom on Monday of participating in a drug trafficking conspiracy but they distanced themselves from the claim that Cartel de los Soles was an actual cartel.

Trump: ‘My wife hates when I do this’

Donald Trump revealed to a group of Republican lawmakers what his wife hates most about his speeches – and it's not what comes out of his mouth. First Lady Melania Trump pleaded that the president stop imitating weight-lifting during his bit on transgender athletes because 'it's not presidential.' She also thinks he shouldn't dance on stage in what has become a popular spectacle, Trump said at the GOP retreat at the Trump-Kennedy Center in Washington, DCon Tuesday. Trump told Melania that his fans 'really like' his dancing, which is usually performed at the conclusion of his remarks to the hit Village People song Y.M.C.A., but that she replied: 'They don't like it, they're just being nice to you.'
