😭🇺🇸 America, I just learned something absolutely Shocking about Melania Trump that made me so upset I literally had to sit down. When she became First Lady in 2017, the White House residence — the home of every American President — was reportedly in terrible condition. Paint was peeling from the walls. Historic furniture was damaged and unusable. Carpets were stained and badly worn. Some windows weren’t even closing properly. The “People’s House” looked neglected. So Melania did something extraordinary: She reportedly spent $1.5 MILLION of her OWN money to help restore it. Not taxpayer money. Not government funding. Her personal money. From her own account. To help preserve one of America’s most historic homes.
Then the media attacked her for “wasting taxpayer money” — even though the claim was that she had not used a single taxpayer dollar. Here’s the truth about Melania’s generosity that many people never heard. 😭🏛️ Let me show you what Melania actually did:
2017. Melania moves into the White House. The private residence had reportedly not been properly maintained for years. She walks through rooms that should represent American excellence and sees deterioration around her. Most First Ladies might have expected the government to cover the renovations. Melania reportedly reached for her own checkbook.
$1.5 million. Personal funds. To restore:
∙ Historic furniture dating back to the Kennedy era
∙ Priceless paintings and artwork
∙ Carpets throughout the State Rooms
∙ Window treatments that were falling apart
∙ Paint on walls that was peeling and cracked
She approached the White House restoration the way you would care for your own home — with attention, respect, and her own money.
Here’s what makes this so heartbreaking: While Melania was reportedly using her personal fortune to help preserve America’s home, the media was publishing stories accusing her of “lavish renovations at taxpayer expense.”
They were wrong. Completely. The claim was that every dollar came from Melania’s personal account. She could have expected taxpayers to cover the work. Instead, she reportedly chose to pay herself because she believed preserving the White House was worth her personal sacrifice.
Think about what that means. Most people wouldn’t spend $1,500 fixing someone else’s house. Melania reportedly spent $1.5 MILLION helping restore America’s house. She didn’t have to. The government could have covered the costs. But she chose generosity over convenience because she understood that the White House belongs to every American. It deserves to be beautiful. And she had the means to help make it beautiful without costing taxpayers a cent.
And what did she get in return? Media criticism accusing her of wasting “taxpayer money” that she reportedly never used.
For YEARS, stories claimed Melania spent millions of taxpayer dollars on “unnecessary luxury renovations.” The truth presented here? She spent $1.5 MILLION of her personal fortune helping preserve American history — and was criticized for generosity because the story didn’t fit the narrative.
Melania Trump reportedly spent $1.5 million of her own money to help restore the White House — and still faced attacks over it. If Melania spending $1.5 MILLION of her own money to help preserve the White House — and then being criticized for it — made you angry like it made me, drop a 🏛️💔 below.
SHARE this everywhere because Americans deserve to hear the story of Melania helping preserve their historic home with HER money, not theirs. Tag someone who has ever been criticized for being generous and tell them:
“The truth always matters more than the narrative. Your generosity was never wasted.” 🏛️💔

Marco Rubio’s White House role is now permanent.
President Donald Trump signed a commission formally making Rubio his national security adviser, three administration officials confirmed to Fox News Digital. Rubio had served in the role on an interim basis since May 2025.
The secretary of state is only the second person in U.S. history to hold both posts simultaneously, following Henry Kissinger in the 1970s.

We want to apologize for our false claims of 1,100 terrorism arrests.
THE NUMBER IS ACTUALLY 1,145 TERRORISM ARRESTS!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
This is my nephew’s best friend, and a close family friend, 11-year-old Christian Calderon.
This morning he passed away at Norton’s Children’s Hospital in my hometown of Louisville Kentucky.
He was shot in the head.
A 14-year-old and a 17-year-old were arrested.
You don’t hate these people enough.
You really don’t.
New from me: The US Army vet running a California surrogacy mill for Chinese couples to have “American” babies is a fellow at a top Republican think tank, received honors from the US Chamber of Commerce, and was accused of placing suspicious interns from China in sensitive government roles https://t.co/xuG3OUYUsL
Today I called out the absurd wasteful spending of Broward Sheriff Greg Tony including a department Lamborghini and a $7.5 Million in wellness amenities including full spa and cold plunge.
“If defunding the police means taking away Sheriff Tony’s cold plunge maybe we need to.”

It gets WAY worse
This residency program at Parkview Health has 47 physicians across PGY-1, PGY-2, and PGY-3
PGY-1 = 1st year of residency (“intern year”)
PGY-2 = 2nd year of residency
PGY-3 = 3rd year of residency
ONLY 12 students attended U.S. medical schools
The other 35 trained in:
-Pakistan (16)
-Caribbean(5)
-India(4)
-Sudan (3)
-Nepal (2)
-Bangladesh (2)
-Syria (1)
-Russia (1)
-Turkey (1)
That means roughly 3 out of every 4 residents are international medical graduates.
As @AndrewIrelandIN said
"America should do whatever it takes to recruit and train Americans for these critical jobs not rely on imported labor"

🚨INCREDIBLE: During a multi-vehicle collision on the Route 90 bridge in Ocean City, Maryland, a 2-year-old girl was ejected from a pickup truck, falling nearly 30 feet into the Assawoman Bay below.
Jonathan Bauer, who was driving across the bridge with his teenage daughter when the crash occurred, rushed over to inspect the wreckage. Looking down into the water, he saw the toddler floating face down and becoming unresponsive.
Without hesitation, Bauer instructed his daughter to flag down first responders, removed his shoes, and leapt off the bridge into the bay. He swam to the little girl, lifted her onto his shoulder, and patted her back until she coughed up water and began breathing again.
A passing pontoon boat quickly navigated toward them, pulling both Bauer and the toddler out of the water and transporting them to shore, where emergency personnel were waiting. The child was airlifted to a regional medical center for evaluation and released the following day in good condition.
Bauer was later honored by local law enforcement and civic leaders for his decisive actions and selflessness.
Americans Should Be Furious After Hearing This
Senator Marco Rubio says Americans “They've worked here their entire lives. They retire. They get $800, $900, a $1,000 a month from Social Security. — Somebody who just got here from Cuba 3 months ago — is given $1,500 a month”
“So imagine if you've been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28 year old, Able body person who just got here.
That's real. That happens. That's happening every day. That makes no sense.”
The Florida Senate threatened journalists at the @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel with possible arrest if they published a report - that taxpayers funded - that showed insurance companies made misleading claims about losing money.
We published anyway.🧵

Amendment 3 in FL (property tax relief) has exposed the true battlelines of public policy. It isn't R vs. D, left vs. right, conservative vs. progressive.
Its govt vs. the people.
Those in power want to keep/expand their power. Even in a RED state like FL.
🚨 BEHIND THE SCENES WITH @FLOTUS This is pretty incredible.
On the sidelines of the UN, @FLOTUS is bringing together first ladies from around the world and some of the biggest names in technology for Fostering the Future Together.
The goal is simple: expand children’s access to technology and educational tools, strengthen their digital skills, and help protect them online.
This video shows very clearly how CNN is a scripted, weaponized propaganda machine.
Here are two shows from the days right before the November 5th, 2024 election. I could have done this with any of CNN's shows before the election because they all followed the same exact script.
Same script. Trump is dark. Cite fake poll. Say Trump got a "gut punch" from the fake poll. Clip one sentence from a rally and misrepresent it. Scare people about Trump never leaving office if he wins. Praise Kamala.
Trying to get people to not vote for Trump is not news.
Trump won Iowa by 13.5 points. Out of all the polls, CNN chose to continually run the one poll that ended up being 17 points off. Because this is CNN.
As promised, during my time as Director of National Intelligence of the United States and Director of Federal Housing, I have donated my Government Salary to Wounded Veterans, and the total is now $130,598.86 which has been donated. ✅
