• Do Dems have to sound like Trump to beat him?

  We start with the fallout from the unorthodox, perhaps undignifying diplomatic spectacle at the White House earlier this week. We are a million miles away from any peace deal in Ukraine, let alone any concrete shape of the 'security guarantees' Donald Trump has suggested may hypothetically be offered by the US in the event that Europe puts boots on the ground in Ukraine. And yet, already, prominent MAGA voices are coming forward to sound the alarm about American involvement in another foreign war. What do those warnings mean for how Donald Trump confronts the most pressing global crisis?Later, Gavin Newsom has clearly irritated the President - and Fox News - with his social media imitation of Donald Trump. He's started TWEETING IN ALL CAPS!! and thanking followers for their attention to this matter. It's a novel approach, and does appear to have boosted his personal ratings as speculation heightens that he's eyeing up the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. Is it effective? Or is it just a bit cringey? And is he mocking Trump? Or imitating him?Get the latest news and analysis on our website: https://thenewsagents.co.ukThe News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

• Trump's Cultural Revolution: the dismantling of truth

  Why is a Texas politician camped out in an undisclosed location, hiding from the FBI, and fearing that democracy is on the line? Jolanda Jones tells us about the extraordinary standoff taking place in her state.But first - what is Trump doing to crime figures, jobs numbers, museum archives and the Ivy League universities? A common theme is emerging - the President rewriting history like an authoritarian bored and irritated by fact. He’s been firing officials and replacing them with others who’ll massage the numbers in his favouring. He’s been threatening institutions and pressuring them to stump up cash. Is anyone confused by what the goal is here? Is Trump having to resort to make believe in his attempt to Make America Great Again?You can visit our website here https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee

• Why don't Americans trust Trump on Epstein?

  Trump's inner circle are heading to the Vice President's residence for what was supposed to be a secret summit to discuss the administration's strategy regarding the Epstein crisis that has engulfed the President.Polling shows that the American public are increasingly convinced that Trump is hiding something, and CNN says his team are now weighing up whether to publish recordings of the interview with Ghislaine Maxwell and the deputy attorney general Todd Blanche.JD Vance has insisted the President has been "transparent" about Epstein, but Trump's recent actions suggest a man desperate to move the conversation on. He appeared on the White House roof in surreal scenes, shouting answers to the press about lavish plans to build a ballroom on the estate. And in Texas, his Republican allies are now pursuing Democrats resisting efforts to carve up the electoral map in the State -- with calls to get the FBI involved in tracking them down and forcing them back to the State legislature.What will it take for Donald Trump to get out of the political quagmire he has created - and which is now damaging his project?You can visit our website here https://www.thenewsagents.co.uk/ The News Agents USA is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal -> https://nordvpn.com/thenewsagents Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee
