As recently as the autumn of 2022, anti-Donald Trump (or at least non-Trump) Republicanism was alive and well in a good part of the country. Plenty of Republican politicians had deplored his conduct after losing the 2020 election and lived to tell the tale. Many blamed the former president for damaging the party's prospects in the 2022 midterm elections with ill-advised interventions in GOP primaries.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced his administration had reached a deal with Harvard University after months of feuding. Early on in his second term, Trump sought to remove diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives by threatening to pull federal funding from any entity that makes use of them. That also went for universities across the country. Trump also tried to quell anti-Israel speech on college campus, which he conflated with anti-Semitism and pro-Hamas speech.

Trump on Monday warned New York City residents not to vote for Mamdani, whom Trump called a "self proclaimed New York City Communist," and said if Mamdani wins in November, "He is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great city." Trump continued: "Remember, he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his fake communist promises. He won't be getting any of it, so what's the point of voting for him?"

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the three other members of the Florida cabinet voted unanimously Tuesday to give a $67 million plot of land adjacent to Miami's Freedom tower to Donald Trump's presidential library foundation with few strings attached. Trump has not publicly committed to using the land, and there are still discussions of having multiple presidential library sites - including one in Palm Beach County. Trump's team is also considering building a hotel on the Miami property, according to sources.

"I am. I'm very confident," Mr Trump said.

Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday with a lengthy post alleging three very sinister events during his appearance at United Nations headquarters, and demanded an immediate investigation into malfunctions with an escalator, the teleprompter, and the sound system. Colbert replayed footage of Trump's stumble as the escalator suddenly stopped, adding that the president just will not let it go. In his post, Trump described the halted escalator as nearly catastrophic, later declaring: The people that did it should be arrested.

President Donald Trump has teased that he was going to hang an official picture of the autopen to mock his Democratic successor and predecessor, and that joke came to reality on Wednesday, with White House Communications Advisor Margo Martin posting a video on X of several presidential portraits lining the West Wing Colonnade. The video pans across pictures of George W. Bush and Barack Obama,

I've worked closely with the private sector over many years. And I always believed that if push came to shove, those titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy, for the importance of sustaining democratic institutions. And one by one by one, they have been silent. They have been, you know, yes, I use the word feckless,

The National Park Service and United States Park Police removed a statue that depicted President Trump cavorting with his former friend Jeffrey Epstein from the National Mall on Wednesday morning. The statue, the latest in a series of such displays placed on the Mall by a group of anonymous artists, received a permit from the National Park Service that allowed it to stay up until 8 PM on September 28.

I can't believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back. The White House was told by ABC that his Show was cancelled! complained Trump in a Truth Social post: Something happened between then and now because his audience is GONE, and his talent was never there. Why would they want someone back who does so poorly, who's not funny, and who puts the Network in jeopardy by playing 99% positive Democrat GARBAGE.

What he's saying: Trump wrote in a Truth Social post late Friday that he withdrew Seibert's nomination when he "was informed that he received the UNUSUALLY STRONG support" of the two Democratic senators from Virginia. The president was referring to that fact that Siebert was backed by Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine of Virginia. "He didn't quit, I fired him! Next time let him go in as a Democrat, not a Republican," Trump added.

I know that the U.S. Attorney from the Eastern District or from that district in Virginia, that he was approved by two Democrat senators who, in my opinion, are among the worst. And when I learned that two senators, Democrats, because, as you know, it's very hard with the Blue Slip, it is very hard for a Republican to get somebody approved if you have one senator that's a Democrat because of an old custom. It's not a law, it' s a custom.

During his monologue Monday, ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel built up a joke like so: "We hit some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them." It was certainly going out on a limb to characterize the shooter as "MAGA" without any information supporting that, and new information we've seen since Monday makes the premise look flat wrong.
