Trump fills govt with billionaires after running on working-class message

President Donald Trump's brash populism has always involved incongruence: the billionaire businessman-politician stirring the passions of millions who, regardless of the US economy's trajectory, could never afford to live in his Manhattan skyscraper or visit his club in south Florida. His second White House is looking a lot like the inside of Mar-a-Lago, with extremely wealthy Americans taking key roles in his administration. The world's richest man, Elon Musk, is overseeing a new Department of Government Efficiency. Billionaires or mega-millionaires are lined up to run the treasury, commerce, interior and education departments, NASA and the Small Business Administration, and fill key foreign posts. He's bringing in folks who have had great success in the private sector, said Debbie Dooley, an early 2015 Trump supporter and onetime national organizer in the anti-establishment Tea Party movement. If you need to have brain surgery, you want the proven brain surgeons. Others raise ...

SC rejects Trump's bid to delay sentencing in New York hush money case

A divided Supreme Court on Thursday rejected President-elect Donald Trump's bid to delay his sentencing in his hush money case in New York. The court's order clears the way for Judge Juan M. Merchan to impose a sentence Friday on Trump, who was convicted in what prosecutors called an attempt to cover up a USD 130,000 hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Trump has denied any liaison with Daniels or any wrongdoing. Merchan has said he will not give Trump jail time, fines or probation. But Trump's attorneys have argued that evidence used in the Manhattan trial violated last summer's Supreme Court ruling giving Trump broad immunity from prosecution over acts he took as president. At the least, they have said, the sentencing should be delayed while their appeals play out to avoid distracting Trump during the presidential transition. Prosecutors pushed back, saying there's no reason for the court to take the extraordinary step of intervening in a state case now. Trump's ...

Planning to attend funeral services of Jimmy Carter, says Donald Trump

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he's planning to attend the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. Asked about it as he walked into a New Year's Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trump responded, "I'll be there. Pressed on whether he'd spoken to members of Carter's family, Trump said he'd rather not say. Funeral services honouring Carter, who died Sunday at age 100, will be held in Georgia and Washington, beginning Jan. 4 and concluding Jan. 9. Trump was a frequent and fierce critic of Carter on the campaign trail ahead of November's election, using the rising inflation rates of the 1970s to unfavourably compare President Joe Biden to Carter and his administration. But the president-elect was gracious about the former president in posts on his social media site after Carter's death Sunday, writing that the nation owed him a debt of gratitude. While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and ..

Trial of man accused in Trump assassination attempt pushed back to Sept

A man accused of attempting to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump in South Florida won't be tried until September 2025, a federal judge ruled this week. Ryan Routh's trial will begin September 8 instead of the previously scheduled Feb. 10, 2025 start date, US District Judge Aileen Cannon said in an order released on Monday. Routh, 58, a Hawaii resident, has pleaded not guilty. Routh's attorneys had asked the judge to delay the trial until no earlier than next December, saying they needed more time to review the evidence against him and decide whether to mount an insanity defense. Routh owned 17 cellphones and numerous other electronic devices, and there are hundreds of hours of police body camera and surveillance videos that have been provided to the defense, Routh's attorneys argued during a hearing two weeks ago in Fort Pierce, Florida. In her order, Cannon said she wanted to err on the side of providing more time given the seriousness of the allegations, but that starting

Amazon, Starbucks workers strike, possible Trump link raises questions

Amazon delivery drivers and Starbucks baristas are on strike in a handful of U.S. cities as they seek to exert pressure on the two major companies to recognize them as unionized employees or to meet demands for an inaugural labor contract. The strikes that started Thursday and Friday followed other recent standoffs between corporate America and organized labor. Large and established labor unions secured meaningful employer concessions this year following strikes by Boeing factory workers, dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports, video game performers, and hotel and casino workers on the Las Vegas Strip. But workers at Starbucks, Amazon and some other prominent consumer brands still are fighting for their first contracts. Amazon refuses to acknowledge the organizing efforts of drivers and warehouse workers many of whom have voted to unionize even though the powerful Teamsters union says it represents them. Starbucks long resisted the unionization of its stores, but had agreed to ..

Trump adds Europe to list of US trade partners facing tariff threats

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday added the 27 countries that make up the European Union to the list of trade partners he's threatening with tariffs unless the group takes steps to import more US goods. I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas, Trump posted shortly after 1 a.m. on social media. Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!! In 2023, the United States' trade imbalance with the EU on goods was USD 209 billion, according to the Census Bureau. There were USD 576 billion in imports from Europe and USD 367 billion in exports from the United States. Trump's transition team did not respond to questions seeking greater clarity on the message, which for all its bluntness was unclear on next steps. When Trump threatened Canada and Mexico with 25 per cent tariffs in November, the leaders of both countries spoke with him to try and resolve any tensions. But the European Union .
