President Trump

The broadcaster has invited other Republican hopefuls in next year's election but Trump has not made a weekday showing since September.

In the immediate aftermath of Mr Trump’s defeat in the November 2020 election, Fox hosts were permitted to continue broadcasting lies about massive voter fraud. In turn, Mr Trump has increasingly vented his anger towards his former media friend. He regularly made impromptu calls into his favourite shows, and in the single year 2019 posted 657 tweets responding to content aired by the channel or its sister outlet Fox Business. The undeniable tailing off of Mr Trump’s exposure on Fox comes at a tense moment for the network, which is battling a $1.6 billion lawsuit from the voting machines company Dominion. Mr Trump has not made a weekday showing on Fox News since he chatted with his closest friend among the network’s star hosts, Sean Hannity, in September. Legal and media experts have suggested that the admission places Murdoch’s empire in considerable legal and financial peril.

The crisis that Fox faced in the disastrous aftermath of the 2020 election is the same one that the national Republican Party faces today. [the future of the party](https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2021/08/13/inside-fox-news-desantis-is-the-future-of-the-party-and-hes-taking-advantage/),” as one Fox producer breathlessly pitched DeSantis’s spokesperson in a 2021 e-mail obtained by the Tampa Bay Tribune. Like a rejected spouse, he wants to share his grievances—in ALL CAPS—with the world. Asked why he allowed the network to air ads from the election-conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell, Murdoch said in a deposition that the reason was “not red or blue. The Dominion filing confirmed that in the aftermath of the 2020 election, Murdoch had finally decided to abandon Trump. What I found most notable about the lawsuit’s disclosures is what they said about Fox executives’ fear of their own audience—and unabashed willingness to lie to that audience if that is what it took to keep their loyalty. Carlson delivered riffs on the “Democratic donors” who created the opioid crisis, on all the money that is going to citizens of Ukraine instead of to citizens of Ohio, on Chicago’s “historically disastrous” Democratic mayor, and on the Wall Street Journal’s report that the Department of Energy now thinks, with low confidence, that COVID-19 may in fact have originated in a Chinese lab. Perhaps, in typically Trumpian fashion, he still thinks he might be able to bully his way back into the relationship. “We have to lead our viewers which is not as easy as it might seem,” Murdoch told his son Lachlan, in another e-mail. Biden is so old, Carlson insisted, that he is literally “losing his ability to speak.” He’s so old, Carlson added, that not even “Botox and hair plugs and face-lifts” can fix it. In fact, his age is such a problem, Carlson concluded, that it’s a sign of America succumbing to “the trans agenda and climate theology.” Huh? For Fox, these monologues are what you talk about when you don’t have anything else to talk about, like when a comedian runs out of material and starts making jokes about the weather.

It's worth remembering that most Republican voters didn't back Donald Trump in the race for the party's nomination in 2016. Trump came away with something like ...

That leaves Trump’s opponents wobbling on a tricky tightrope: trying to temper their criticisms of him and glom onto his appeal without encouraging Republican voters to consider backing the original, genuine article. His crusade against critical race theory, which takes after Trump’s broadsides against political correctness and propagandistic stunts like the 1776 Project, has predictably expanded into a proposed ideological overhaul of higher education in Florida; lax Covid policies and a crackdown on [undocumented immigrants](https://www.politico.com/news/2023/02/23/desantis-immigration-laws-florida-republicans-00084188) have been central to establishing what a recent DeSantis ad called a “ [citadel of freedom](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/desantis-drops-video-detailing-florida-blueprint-most-recent-indication-2024-presidential-campaign)” in the Sunshine State. Trump, for his part, is sticking to the considerably simpler task of being Donald Trump. “This is really America right here,” he told the town’s conservative white working-class residents in a brief statement. While Trump publicly professed support for the LGBT community during his administration – even as he And today, Trump, battered as he might seem, is both a former president and a demigod even to many Republicans who were wary of him in his first run. It suggests two possibilities: either the Republican powers-that-be are inept enough to believe the field can bear another sizable slate of non-Trump candidates; or they’re ambivalent enough about Trump winning the nomination again that they don’t think lining up behind a single alternative to stop him is worth their while. The fact that the candidates thus far seem unwilling to run against Trump’s actual record in office doesn’t help matters. Trump came away with something like 45% of the vote in the Republican primaries; though the field had by then shrunk to just three candidates – Trump, John Kasich, and Ted Cruz – polls showed Trump struggling to hit 50% support among Republicans as late as early April of that year. Unlike that race’s ramshackle operation, Trump will also have a large working infrastructure of competent operatives – and state and local Republican officials across the country who back him this time around. But as a practical matter, Trump won the Republican nomination in 2016 for a very simple reason: he built and kept a large minority of incredibly loyal supporters within the party, while the majority of Republican voters, who would have preferred another candidate, split their votes among too many alternatives. Had they united behind one candidate early enough in the race, Trump may well have lost.

The former president also wants to spark a wave of vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles.

Trump also called for a “Garden of American Heroes” in an executive order that would feature statues of major figures from American politics, art, science, and sports ranging from Harriet Tubman to Babe Ruth. Trump’s advisers concede that the set of proposals put out on Friday are broad brushstrokes. Trump’s plan, shared in advance with POLITICO, calls for holding a contest to design and create up to ten new “Freedom Cities,” built from the ground up on federal land. The latest offerings come with a few explanations for how they will be executed. Other videos have focused on It comes as companies like Boeing and Honda are currently spending billions to develop and test electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles that operate like giant drones for humans. Our objective will be a quantum leap in the American standard of living,” Trump said. It proposes an investment in the development of vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles; the creation of “hives of industry” sparked by cutting off imports from China; and a population surge sparked by “baby bonuses” to encourage would-be-parents to get on with procreation.

Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids soared when Trump was president, raising issues about efforts to blame Biden border policies.

The evidence indicates that closing the door to immigration will not reduce deaths from drug overdoses. . Taken together, these supplemental models show sizable protective effects of immigration and suggest that a 10-percentage-point increase in a county’s foreign-born population could contribute to as much as 40% to 50% lower overdose death rates overall and for nearly each of the substances examined here, net of controls.” Feldmeyer, Sun, Harris and Cullen found, “County overdose rates were reduced by 4.5% for every one-percentage-point increase in the foreign-born population. Democrats at the hearing did not point out that synthetic opioid deaths increased significantly while Donald Trump was president. Precise month-by-month figures are unavailable from the CDC, but even the 12-month moving averages, which likely mask much larger increases in individual months, show a significant rise after the March 2020 closing of U.S.-Mexico ports of entry to nonessential traffic. “We see no evidence linking immigration to rising overdose death rates, and instead we find that immigration has most often been associated with lower levels of overdoses and homicide mortality.

Trump, which contend that his speech incited the Capitol attack, have raised the question of whether his speaking to his supporters about the 2020 election results fell within his official job responsibilities.

The brief was filed by lawyers in the justice department’s civil division and has no bearing on a separate criminal investigation by a department special counsel into whether Mr Trump can be criminally charged over efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election ahead of the Capitol riot.

The courts are still considering the question, but if it sides with DOJ, that would force the dismissal of the case, brought by E. “But because actual incitement would be unprotected by absolute immunity even if it came in the context of a speech on matters of public concern, this Court should reject the categorical argument President Trump pressed below and renews on appeal.” A district court judge previously denied a Trump motion to dismiss the case, finding that the former president was not absolutely immune from the civil January 6 lawsuit. The Justice Department, under Attorney General Merrick Garland, came under fire from the left when it held onto the department’s Trump-era position that Trump could not be sued personally for allegedly defaming a woman who accused him of sexual assault. The DC Circuit is now considering a Trump request to reverse that ruling. The Justice Department did caution the court against using the January 6 civil cases as a vehicle to draw firm lines on whether president can face liability for speech related to electoral or political concerns.

Donald Trump doesn't deserve absolute immunity from three civil lawsuits accusing him of inciting the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, the DOJ said.
