President Trump has posted this picture on social media of himself as Christ healing the sick. I’ve long given up saying how hard it is to think of any previous US president who behaved like Donald Trump, but comparing himself to Jesus puts him on another level altogether.

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Pakistan just said it directly.

The ceasefire included Lebanon.

Not implied. Not assumed. Not lost in translation.

Included.

Pakistan’s Prime Minister put it in the announcement. In writing. With U.S. involvement.

And now Israel is bombing Beirut. And Vance calls it a “reasonable misunderstanding.”

And Netanyahu says Lebanon was never part of the deal.

Someone is lying.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem is now implicating President Trump for the comments she and Greg Bovino made calling Alex Pretti a “domestic terrorist.”

“Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen [Miller]”

Of course it was Trump. Their statements were identical. Trump obviously pre-approved this statement.

NEW: A diplomatic controversy has erupted in Copenhagen after the U.S. Embassy removed 44 Danish flags honoring the 44 Danish soldiers killed during the war in Afghanistan.

The flags were placed by Danish veterans in flower boxes on a public road outside the U.S. Embassy, shortly after Donald Trump criticized allied forces’ contributions in Afghanistan during a Fox News interview.
In a written response to Danish broadcaster TV 2, the U.S. Embassy said the flags were removed because they were not installed by embassy staff nor formally coordinated, adding that it is standard practice to remove unauthorized objects and that there was no malicious intent.

However, Danish media report that embassy security staff were aware of the flags and initially approved their placement, raising questions about the embassy’s explanation.
The removal has triggered strong political backlash across party lines in Denmark. Multiple lawmakers have called the action disrespectful, “indecent,” and “insensitive,” noting that Denmark fought alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan and suffered one of the highest per-capita casualty rates among coalition partners.

Copenhagen officials are now examining whether the embassy had the legal right to remove the flags from a public roadway. A demonstration and five-minute silence in honor of the fallen Danish soldiers is planned outside the embassy this weekend.
