Trump media firm posts $238 million loss in second quarter as crypto falls

The president's media company posted a massive loss in the second quarter and announced plans to ditch new business lines and refocus as a forum for users to post their views. Trump Media and Technology, the company behind the Truth Social platform, said Monday that it lost USD238 million in the three months through June as it branched into businesses unrelated to media, including crypto. That was more than 10 times the loss from a year earlier. The per share loss widened to 86 cents from 8 cents. In a conference call after the earnings release, the new chief executive, Kevin McGurn, said a yearlong effort to expand by branching into several new industries including online betting and crypto would now be largely abandoned as he refocuses the business on its social media mission. "We made the disciplined choice to pivot in order to invest more time and resources in our most important initiatives," McGurn said. "We will say no to things or change course as warranted."

Trump pulled in at least $1.4 billion from crypto ventures in 2025

President Donald Trump took in nearly USD 1.2 billion dollars from his crypto businesses last year, a federal filing released Monday shows. Mere startups when took the oath of office, the new ventures have now eclipsed in revenue much of his vast property portfolio that took decades to accumulate. Fueling their rise was a pair of billionaire investors and Trump's own move to quash a federal crackdown on the industry. Trump got more than USD 500 million from his World Liberty Financial business selling new crypto products, including "governance tokens," according to the required annual disclosure report. It also showed another crypto business, CIC Digital LLC, took in more than USD 600 million from sales of souvenir-type "meme" coins stamped with his face. Both the tokens and the coins have plunged in value since the sales. The rise of crypto relative to Trump's property is especially stunning given that traditional mainstay of his family business also grew rapidly, last year as it

Trump in 'excellent health' and fully fit to serve, says physician

Donald Trump's physician says the president is in "excellent health" and is "fully fit" to serve as commander in chief after a medical exam Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. A report from Dr Sean Barbabella, released late Friday, says Trump underwent a CT scan and other heart imaging along with cancer screenings and other preventative assessments carried out by 22 specialists. Trump, 79, said after the visit Tuesday that everything checked out "PERFECTLY." The president weighed in at 238 pounds (108 kilograms), up 14 pounds (6 kg) from a medical exam in April 2025. His doctors gave him guidance on his diet, physical activity and weight loss, but concluded his "cognitive and physical performance are excellent.

'Everything checked out perfectly': Trump wraps up 3-hour medical visit

US President Donald Trump had another medical exam on Tuesday, putting his health under renewed public scrutiny after he has worked to dismiss concerns over his age and stamina. The 79-year-old president spent more than three hours at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre for what the White House described as preventive medical and dental checkups. It was Trump's fourth publicly-disclosed medical exam since he returned to office for a second term, and it comes as he tries to project strength ahead of midterm elections that will test his sway with voters. In a social media post after the visit, Trump said that he had just finished his "6 month physical" and that "Everything checked out PERFECTLY." The White House did not immediately release a written report from Trump's doctors. For decades, administrations have released selected results from presidential physicals, offering the public a glimpse at the commander-in-chief's health. But the results are filtered through the Whit

Trump pardons Texas Democratic Rep. Cuellar in bribery and conspiracy case

President Donald Trump pardoned Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife in a federal bribery and conspiracy case on Wednesday, citing what he called a weaponised justice system. Trump, who has argued that his own legal troubles were a partisan witch hunt, said on social media without presenting evidence that Cuellar and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, were prosecuted because the congressman had been critical of President Joe Biden's immigration policies. Trump, a Republican, said in a social media post that Cuellar bravely spoke out against Open Borders and accused Biden, a Democrat, of going after the congressman and his wife simply for speaking the TRUTH. Federal authorities had charged Cuellar, 69, and his wife with accepting thousands of dollars in exchange for the congressman advancing the interests of an Azerbaijan-controlled energy company and a bank in Mexico. Cuellar is accused of agreeing to influence legislation favourable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro-Azerbaijan ..

'I am not done': Kamala Harris leaves door open for 2028 presidential run

Kamala Harris isn't ruling out another run for the White House. In an interview with the BBC posted Saturday, Harris said she expects a woman will be president in the coming years, and it could possibly be her. I am not done, she said. The former vice-president said she hasn't decided whether to mount a 2028 presidential campaign. But she dismissed the suggestion that she'd face long odds. I have lived my entire career a life of service and it's in my bones. And there are many ways to serve, she said. I've never listened to polls. She's recently given a series of interviews following the September release of her book, 107 Days. It looks back on her experience replacing then-President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race. She ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump. In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Harris, 60, also made clear that running again in 2028 is still on the table. She said she sees hers
