🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump causes a new diplomatic scandal: Italy cancels a minister’s visit to the United States due to offensive remarks directed at Giorgia Meloni
🗣️ Trump on Meloni:
💬 “She was begging me to take a photo with her. She really wanted a photo with me. I wasn’t going to do it, but I felt sorry for her.”
🗣️ Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni responded immediately by posting a video address on her Instagram page, in which she called Trump’s words completely fabricated and expressed regret that the US President lacks the necessary resolve against the enemies of the West.
💬 “Italy and I never beg anyone.”
Later, in response to “Trump’s offensive statements,” the Italian government took radical diplomatic steps and officially cancelled the visit of the Foreign Minister to Miami, which had been scheduled for next week.
It is noteworthy that the entire Italian political spectrum, including the opposition, supported the Prime Minister.
The incident has triggered a sharp deterioration in relations between two traditionally close allies, highlighting the unpredictable nature of Trump’s personal diplomacy and its immediate diplomatic costs.
#BREAKING: Psaki: “This week we also learned that despite the #UFC insisting that they will foot the bill for this whole thing, US taxpayers do appear to be subsidizing the event. A spokesperson for Washington DC told ESPN that the city expects to incur somewhere between $10-$12 million in supplemental security costs which will be paid for by a federal fund aka your tax dollars.” 🙄
MAJOR BREAKING: In a now deleted post by former MMA fighter Daniel Cormier, he posted screenshots of Eric Trump trying to get an insider scoop on whether any of the MMA fights at the White House are rigged so that he could try and illegally make money off of them..
Below is the Direct Messages that Trump allegedly sent Cormier. There is no reason to doubt the legitimacy of these messages.

BREAKING: Trump economic adviser Kevin Hassett just said the quiet part out loud.
“If the war were to be extended it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy at all. It would hurt consumers…but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
They don’t care about us at all.
