Donald Trump on Saturday appointed Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner, to an ambassador position, resulting in political experts and observers bringing up the appointee's past alleged criminal wrongdoings.

Trump over the weekend took to Truth Social to announce the appointment of Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France.

The world's richest man has been tapped by Donald Trump to drastically reduce government spending in ways that could benefit his own business interests.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk was named by the president-elect to co-lead the quasi-governmental "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) with entrepreneur and failed Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, and the South Africa-born mogul is poised to cut funding for rural broadband services – which would potentially benefit his own internet service provider, reported The Guardian.

Several House Democrats have been subjected to bomb threats and swatting in recent days, and the threats all reportedly included President-elect Donald Trump's catchphrase.

On Friday, the Washington Post reported that three lawmakers — Reps. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) Jahana Hayes (D-CT) and Jim Himes (D-CT) — were "targeted with bomb threats." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said the threats ranged from “detailed threats of a pipe bomb placed in mailboxes to swatting," the latter of which is the term used for an anonymous caller alerting police to a situation at an address that requires an immediate armed response. Jeffries noted that the threats were "all signed with 'MAGA' at the conclusion of the message."

Donald Trump's plan to impose gigantic new tariffs on Mexico, Canada, and China could theoretically draw the ire of Congress or the Supreme Court — but there's a lesser-known group that might have the power to force Trump to back down, wrote Ryan Teague Beckwith for MSNBC on Friday: the holders of U.S. Treasury bonds.

This was highlighted recently, Beckwith noted, by Wall Street analyst Ed Yardeni, who "cautioned that investors in U.S. bonds could play a critical role in forcing the incoming Trump administration to back down from its plans for an all-out trade war with everyone from China to Mexico and Canada. Reviving a term he first coined in the 1980s, Yardeni warned that 'bond vigilantes' could take action if Trump's plans go too far."

Republican vice president-elect J.D. Vance was under fire on Thursday after he was said to have "depicted himself as Donald Trump's wife" in a meme posted to social media.

Vance, also a GOP senator from Ohio, took to X on Thanksgiving Day, saying, "Thanksgiving everyone!"

A world leader who is revered by MAGA fans doesn't quite fit in with Donald Trump's political perspective, a new report suggests.

Trump has consistently embraced Javier Milei, who has been the president of Argentina since December of 2023. Some have even said Trump and his allies see the libertarian Milei as a "role model."

Donald Trump has repeatedly demanded that Congress take a break and let him use recess appointment power to ram through his nominees — but he may have realized this is a pointless battle, Kacper Surdy wrote for The Bulwark.

This comes shortly after Trump's nomination of former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney general collapsed — which sent him a message even the GOP won't necessarily rubber-stamp his most controversial choices.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk dropped a disability slur in a post attacking actor Ben Stiller for remarks about his support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, TMZ reported on Wednesday.

Musk, who supported Donald Trump and bankrolled much of his voter outreach operation, made an X post in which he shared a comment from Stiller that 'woke America' killed "edgier" comedy.

Although President-elect Donald Trump tried to market himself as a "peace candidate" during the 2024 campaign, it seems that he and his foreign policy advisers are dead set on sending at least some members of the American military into Mexico.

Rolling Stone reports that Trump and his team are considering a "soft invasion" of Mexico that would use special forces to target drug labs and cartels in Mexico.
