News summary for the nation:
Lots of activity took place over the weekend for the America First movement. President Donald Trump hosted a “Get Out the Vote Rally” in Rome, Georgia, that drew thousands of people.
The family of Laken Riley was in attendance. President Trump honored her memory and met with the family before his speech. Audience members held signs with Laken’s photo and a phrase: “SAY HER NAME.”
Laken was viciously murdered by an alleged illegal alien who entered the U.S. under the open border policies of Joe Biden’s administration.
Also: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban paid a visit to President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, for a diplomatic meeting centered on maintaining peace through strength. Orban skipped a meeting with Joe Biden and his White House officials.
President Orban wrote, “President @realDonaldTrump was a president of peace. He commanded respect in the world, and created the conditions for peace. During his presidency there was peace in the Middle East and peace in Ukraine. We need him back more than ever! Thank you for the invitation, Mr. President!”
Important America First bullet points:
Trump reportedly meets with Elon Musk. The New York Times reported that SpaceX, Tesla, and X CEO Elon Musk had met with President Trump in Palm Beach, Florida. Will Musk put his support behind Trump in 2024? This is unclear, but Musk is certainly no supporter of Biden, and his recent statements on the illegal immigration crisis seem to suggest that Musk could easily align with Trump.
Trump tempers his comments on TikTok, slams Facebook. Trump pointed out during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that banning TikTok outright would simply make Facebook even stronger. He explained, “But the thing I don’t like is that without TikTok, you can make Facebook bigger. And I consider Facebook to be an enemy of the people, along with a lot of the media.” Both Facebook and TikTok have heavy ties to China.
Former Trump Advisor Peter Navarro will serve jail time next week. After being convicted of failing to comply with a congressional subpoena at the behest of the Jan. 6 Committee, Navarro will begin a four-month jail sentence on March 19th, pending a stay upon appeal, per CBS News.
TMTG and DWAC merger appears to be on the table on March 22. A recent shareholder email from DWAC CEO Eric Swider stated that a shareholder vote on the anticipated merger was scheduled for March 22, 2024. The NYT reported that a previous lawsuit from “early founders” of TMTG had been mediated in the courts at this point, clearing the way for the vote next Friday.
National/International politics:
Hungarian Prime Minister Orban’s visit to Trump sets tongues wagging. It is “highly unusual for a visiting head of state to travel to the U.S. and meet with a political opponent of the president without also meeting top officials at the White House,” NBC News reported. It seems clear that world leaders do not respect Joe Biden as a fellow leader at all.
Bitter Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel reads Trump’s Truth Social remarks from the stage. Kimmel appeared to have been irritated by the 45th president’s criticism of the highly left-wing awards show - so much so that he stopped amidst the live broadcast to read an entire post from Trump’s Truth Social platform panning Kimmel’s flat performance. Free advertising?
Confusing photo of Princess of Wales and her children is retracted. After an English Mother’s Day portrait was posted on a Royal Family account, news agencies began recalling the photo, citing digital manipulation. In an odd follow-up post, the Duchess wrote on X, “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. C.”
What’s new with President Donald J. Trump:
Trump pans indecent Oscars Awards show on Sunday night. He wrote on Truth Social, “Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars. His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be. Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC ‘talent,’ George Slopanopoulos. He would make everybody on stage look bigger, stronger, and more glamorous. Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years - Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them. Maybe that way their audience and TV ratings will come back from the depths. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump attends UFC 299 with daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner. Trump sat cage-side at UFC 299 in Miami, Florida on Saturday night, just hours after he delivered a nearly two-hour-long speech in Rome, Georgia. He received a warm welcome from the audience in the arena.
Trump trolls Biden for law-attendance rally in Georgia. While Trump drew thousands of people to his rally in Rome, Georgia, on Saturday, Biden held a much smaller “rally” in the Peach State as well, in Atlanta. Trump said, “Why doesn’t the Fake News report that almost no one showed up at the Crooked Joe Biden ‘rally’ yesterday in the Great State of Georgia, whereas thousands of people packed our real arena RALLY in the State. In fact, the streets were lined with American Patriots waving ‘proper’ flags all the way out to the airport, as we arrived and left. The reason is simple. Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE DISUNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!”
