Biden Responds After Trump Puts Him Under Investigation​

Former President Joe Biden has called the investigation into his competence to serve during his term in the White House as "nothing more than a distraction."

President Donald Trump directed the White House on Wednesday to probe Biden's executive actions, including pardons and the alleged use of an autopen for signatures. The inquiry also alleges Biden's top aides masked his "cognitive decline."


"Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false," Biden said in a statement.

"This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations."

If it was going to be a real investigation into the concerns of cognitive decline in a president and how it was handled and how it should be handled in the future, I would call this a great idea. If it is a sham investigation to prove a political point, it will just create more animosity and division.

I have little confidence that this won't be a sham investigation to prove a political point.

I think most congressional investigations are shams.
 

Donald Trump has signed a ban on travel to the US from 12 countries, citing national security risks.

There are also seven additional countries whose nationals will face partial travel restrictions.

The US president said the list could be revised if "material improvements" were made, while other countries could be added as "threats emerge around the world".

It is the second time he has ordered a ban on travel from certain countries. He signed a similar order in 2017 during his first term in office.
...

Why has a ban been announced?​

The White House said these "common sense restrictions" would "protect Americans from dangerous foreign actors".

In a video posted to his Truth Social website, Trump said the recent alleged terror attack in Boulder, Colorado "underscored the extreme dangers" posed by foreign nationals who had not been "properly vetted".

Twelve people were injured in Colorado on Sunday when a man attacked a group gathering in support of Israeli hostages, throwing two incendiary devices and using a makeshift flamethrower.

The man accused of carrying out the attack has been identified as an Egyptian national, but Egypt is not included on the list of banned countries.

Trump has close ties with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has in the past been described by the US president as his "favourite dictator".

Only two of the 19 countries are on the US government's State Sponsors of Terrorism list - Iran, which has a full ban, and Cuba, which faces partial travel restrictions.

But national security is given as a partial reason for the choices.

In the proclamation, Trump said many of the countries listed have a "historic failure to accept back their removable nationals" from the US, as well as having "taken advantage" of the US by exploiting its visa system.

He added that nationals from certain countries also "pose significant risks" of overstaying their visas.

Elon Musk tore into President Donald Trump on Thursday in a barrage of counterattacks on X moments after Trump criticized Musk for bashing his signature policy bill—a shocking and very public implosion of their friendship after Musk has been a fixture at Trump’s side since he donated more than $250 million to help elect him.

* “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk tweeted in response to Trump criticizing Musk for the first time Thursday over Musk’s attacks on his policy bill.


* “Such ingratitude,” Musk added.


* Trump insinuated in an Oval Office press conference Thursday the Tesla CEO opposes the legislation because he is “upset” the electric vehicle incentive was removed, adding that he’s not sure he’ll remain friends with Musk, marking Trump’s first comments on the feud since Musk began publicly attacking the legislation earlier this week.


* Musk didn’t reject the accusation about the EV tax credits in a tweet responding to Trump, writing it was “very unfair!!” that oil and gas subsidies were left in the bill, adding in a subsequent tweet “this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”

* Trump also suggested Musk is suffering from what he refers to as “Trump derangement syndrome,” which he describes as people turning on the president after they leave his administration.

* Earlier Thursday, Musk reposted a 2013 tweet from Trump that said he was in disbelief and “embarrassed” Republicans were extending the debt ceiling, captioning the repost “wise words,” after Trump said Wednesday the debt limit should be “entirely scrapped” as a provision of his “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which would raise the debt ceiling ahead of its expected expiration date in August.

Musk—who left his White House role Friday—has fired off dozens of tweets this week attacking Trump’s policy bill over the amount it’s expected to add to the federal debt.

Trump tells German leader D-Day ‘was not a pleasant day for you’. Merz had to remind Trump that D-Day was a liberation for Germany from a Nazi Dictatorship as well.​


Sitting in the Oval Office, Merz and Trump were discussing the death toll from Russia’s three-year-old war against Ukraine, the bloodiest conflict in Europe since the end of World War II, when the German leader noted that tomorrow marks the 81st anniversary of Operation Overlord, the allied amphibious assault on Adolf Hitler’s European stranglehold that began with American, British, Canadian and Free French troops storming the beaches of Normandy.

Merz told Trump he wanted to discuss how to bring the current Russo-Ukrainian conflict to an end.

“I'm here, Mr. President, to talk with you later on on how we could contribute to that goal. And we all are looking for measures and for instruments to bring this terror war to an end. And may I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is D-Day anniversary when the Americans once ended a war in Europe,” he said.


At that point, Trump interjected, seemingly wisecracking to Merz: “That was not a pleasant day for you.”

The chancellor began to reply that it was “not a pleasant day” before stopping himself and delivering a bit of a history lesson for his U.S. counterpart.

“In the long run, Mr. President, this was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship,” he corrected.

Merz continued by stating that Germans know what they owe to America for liberating their country from the Nazis, telling Trump that the U.S. is “again in a very strong position” to help end Russia’s war by throwing steadfast support to Ukraine’s defensive efforts.

“We know what we owe you, but this is the reason why I'm saying that America is again, in a very strong position to do something on this war and ending this war. So let's talk about what we can do jointly, and we are ready to do what we can,” he said.


The bizarre moment was not even the first example of questionable historical references to the Nazi and post-Hitler era from Trump, who also attempted to crack a joke about Merz’s efforts to push past decades of German pacifism to help bolster Ukraine’s defense and jump-start his country’s own arms industry.

Asked whether Germany is doing enough to meet their commitments to NATO by spending a set percentage of GDP on defense needs, Trump replied that he knows Germany is now “spending more money on defense now and quite a bit more money” and called the development “a positive thing” before waxing on about the late American Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s views of Germany in the wake of two world wars.

“I'm not sure that General MacArthur would have said it's positive, you know, he wouldn't like it, but I sort of think it's good,” Trump said.

“He made a statement, never let Germany rearm. And I said, I always think about that. When he says, ‘Sir, we're spending more money on defense,’ I say, ‘Oh, is that a good thing or a bad thing?’ I think it's a good thing. But you know, at least to a certain point, there'll be a point where say, Please don't arm anymore. If you don't mind.”


The president then, perhaps jokingly, suggested that the U.S. would be “watching” Germany’s re-armament efforts with skepticism.

In what appeared to be a reversal from his first-term position, the American leader told reporters that the U.S. would be keeping the tens of thousands of troops based in Germany in that country, the site of some of America’s largest European bases.

Asked whether the U.S. would continue to base troops in Merz’s country, he replied: “The answer is yes.”

“We'll talk about that. But if they'd like to have them there, yeah,” he said.

“We have a lot of them, about 45,000 it's a lot of troops. It's a city,” Trump continued, adding that their presence is good for Germany’s economy because they’re “highly paid” and “spend a lot of money” there.
