Trump lashes out at ‘weaklings’ who believe Epstein ‘hoax’ amid building GOP pressure to release documents

US President Donald Trump has accused some of his longtime supporters of being "weaklings" who are falling prey to Democratic "bullshit" about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — concluding that he no longer wants their support. The message was the clearest sign yet of the cracks emerging in the president's coalition, many of whom are loudly demanding more information about the disgraced financier, who has been subject to myriad conspiracies since his death by suicide in 2019. And some of his allies don't appear to be listening, with Republicans in Congress taking steps on Wednesday morning (Wednesday night AEST) to potentially force the Justice Department to release more documents. With Trump defending the findings, the situation has set up an unprecedented ...

Trump says Coca-Cola will use real sugar in its US flagship drink. The company isn’t confirming that

President Donald Trump said Coca-Cola has agreed to use real cane sugar in its flagship soft drink in the US at his suggestion — though the company didn't confirm such a move. Any switch from high-fructose corn syrup in Coke sold in the US would put Coca-Cola more in line with its practice in other countries, including Mexico and Australia. But it wouldn't affect Trump's drink of choice, Diet Coke, which uses aspartame as a calorie-free beverage. "I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using REAL Cane Sugar in Coke in the United States, and they have agreed to do so," Trump wrote on his social media site. Donald Trump has announced Coca-Cola is changing its recipe at his request. (AP) "I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a v...

Trump promised 200 deals by now. He’s got three, and one more is getting very close

At the conclusion of his first 100 days in office in late April, US President Donald Trump made a stunning statement about his progress on tariff negotiations: He had completed trade deals with 200 countries. More than two months later, Trump has announced just three of those agreements – with China, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. So what happened?
