US President Donald Trump has taken a swipe at Europe, calling the continent "decaying" and "weak" on immigration and Ukraine, in an interview.

US President Donald Trump has been fully briefed about the presence of an alien hybrid life form among us, claims David Grusch, a retired US intelligence officer and retired US Air Force Major. He suggests that the US Government has concealed UFO retrievals, non-human biological remains, and the existence of alien life for decades.&nbsp;David Grusch is a current advisor to Congress's UAP Task Force. In a recent interview, he claimed that Trump has received reports of all such activities, and he is aware of the origin of extraterritorial being and their intentions. He said that soon, Trump is going to become the 'most consequential leader in world history' by disclosing these details publicly.&nbsp;'Members of this current administration are very well aware of this reality.

From 2019 to 2021, he represented the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) on the UAP Task Force, but later became a whistleblower after reportedly learning about the US government denying congressional oversight of matters related to extraterrestrials. Reportedly, Grusch has stated under oath to Congress in July 2023 that he is aware of the multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program. He alleged that the US government possesses "non-human" spacecraft and "non-human biologics" based on interviews with over 40 witnesses.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even though no such reports had been corroborated by the White House, the US Army or NASA and no physical evidence exists to verify these claims. But, on the Lex Fridman Podcast in September 2024, Trump claimed that he would declassify files on the aliens. “Sure, I’ll do that. I would do that. I’d love to do that. I have to do that,” said Trump. Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison also previously echoed the existence of at least four alien hybrid species that human secretly know about.&nbsp;

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet US President Donald Trump on December 29, an Israeli government spokesperson said on Monday (December 8). Shosh Bedrosian, a spokesperson of the Prime Minister's office in Israel, said, "I can share with you that the Prime Minister will meet with President Trump on Monday, December 29th. They will discuss the future steps and phases and the international stabilization force of the ceasefire plan. Let's remember how the ceasefire plan came to be. With the military pressure Prime Minister Netanyahu put on Hamas while our troops entered their stronghold of Gaza City, and the diplomatic pressure President Trump put on Hamas, this is why we are here. We cannot forget how we got here. The third phase of this plan will be focused on the de-radicalization of the Gaza Strip."&nbsp;In October 2025, in a speech to the Israeli Knesset on Monday (October 13), Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lavished praise on US President Donald Trump, calling him ‘the greatest friend that the Israel has ever had in the White House’. “No American president has ever done more for Israel, and as I said in Washington, it isn’t even close,” Netanyahu said, underscoring the significant impact Trump had on Israel’s diplomatic and security landscape. Netanyahu specifically highlighted Trump’s contributions, including his decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital during his first term, a move that was met with widespread praise in Israel but condemned by much of the international community. He also lauded Trump for brokered the Abraham Accords, agreements that led to the normalisation of diplomatic ties between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-tariff-woes-us-president-to-announce-12-bn-relief-package-for-farmers-china-india-trade-war-trump-tariffs-tariff-war-tariff-woes-1765198553979">Trump tariff woes: US President to announce $12 bn relief package for farmers</a>&nbsp;Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday (December 7) that the second stage of the US-backed proposal to end the conflict in Gaza was approaching, though he stressed that several major points still had to be settled, including whether an international security contingent would be sent in.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European allies are prepared to meet in London on Monday, a day after President Donald Trump criticised him for reportedly not accepting Washington's proposal to end the war with Russia. The talks in London follow several days of negotiations between Ukrainian and US officials in Miami, which concluded on Saturday without a breakthrough, though Zelensky agreed to continue discussions.&nbsp;According to a report by AFP, territory was still "the most problematic issue" in the talks on Monday to resolve the almost four-year-long Russia-Ukraine war. Zelensky is expected to meet British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, as well as the German chancellor and French president. Meanwhile, Starmer said he would not pressure Zelensky into accepting the Trump administration’s plan.&nbsp;"I won't be putting pressure on the president," Starmer told ITV News. "The most important thing is to ensure that if there is a cessation of hostilities, and I hope there is, it has to be just and it has to be lasting, which is what we will be focused on this afternoon," he added.<h3>Russian attack in Ukraine injured at least nine people&nbsp;</h3>Meanwhile, British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is likely to meet her US counterpart Marco Rubio on Monday. In addition, Moscow has continued to strike its neighbour, injuring at least nine individuals overnight Sunday to Monday, Ukrainian officials confirmed.&nbsp;Zelensky stated that he joined his negotiators for a "very substantive and constructive" response with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during the Miami discussions. "Ukraine is committed to continuing to work honestly with the American side to bring about real peace," Zelensky said on Telegram. He added that the parties agreed "on the next steps and the format of the talks with America".&nbsp;But Donald Trump hit out at Zelensky on Sunday, and said, "I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zelensky hasn't yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago."&nbsp;Last week, Kushner and Witkoff met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. During the meeting, Moscow rejected parts of the US proposal. In response, French President Emmanuel Macron criticised Putin before Monday's talks, calling it Russia's "escalatory path".&nbsp;"We will continue these efforts with the Americans to provide Ukraine with security guarantees, without which no robust and lasting peace will be possible," he wrote on X. "We must continue to exert pressure on Russia to compel it to choose peace."&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Frank Bradley, the Admiral who oversaw the air strike on alleged Venezuelan drug vessels, admitted that it was not heading towards the US, which is in direct contradiction to the claim of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The strike resulted in 11 casualties.&nbsp;However, according to the US drug enforcement officials, boats from Suriname head towards Europe.&nbsp;After the strike, the US President in post on Truth Social wrote, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.” Around 86 people have been killed in 22 total strikes this year. Both US President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth insisted that the strikes were necessary to stop the flow of drugs to the United States.Bradley, while briefing the lawmakers on Thursday, said that the boats were heading toward Suriname, on the northern coast of South America, but ultimately could have ended up in the US, which warranted striking the boats, as reported by CNN. According to CNN, Bradley told the lawmakers that two of them who survived the first strike and held on to the wreckage for 40 minutes were waving in the air, meaning they would have surrendered. Every part of the whole process is a gigantic war crime.&nbsp;“The video we saw today showed two shipwrecked individuals who had no means to move, much less pose an immediate threat, and yet they were killed by the United States military,” &nbsp;said Democratic Rep. Jim Himes and Adam Smith on Thursday, following the Bradleys' briefing. According to the Washington Post, the directive was issued by the Secretary of War Pete Hegeseth to the SEAL team in charge of the operation to kill every individual on board. However, Hegseth blamed the “fog of war” for the second strike during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, September 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Admiral Frank Bradley told lawmakers the alleged Venezuelan drug boat struck by the U.S. was heading toward Suriname, contradicting Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s claim that it was bound for the US, as criticism mounts over possible war-crime.

Bradley, while briefing the lawmakers on Thursday, said that the boats were heading toward Suriname, on the northern coast of South America, but ultimately could have ended up in the US, which warranted striking the boats, as reported by CNN. According to CNN, Bradley told the lawmakers that two of them who survived the first strike and held on to the wreckage for 40 minutes were waving in the air, meaning they would have surrendered. Every part of the whole process is a gigantic war crime. “The video we saw today showed two shipwrecked individuals who had no means to move, much less pose an immediate threat, and yet they were killed by the United States military,” said Democratic Rep. Jim Himes and Adam Smith on Thursday, following the Bradleys' briefing. According to the Washington Post, the directive was issued by the Secretary of War Pete Hegeseth to the SEAL team in charge of the operation to kill every individual on board. However, Hegseth blamed the “fog of war” for the second strike during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, September 2.

Admiral Frank Bradley told lawmakers the alleged Venezuelan drug boat struck by the U.S. was heading toward Suriname, contradicting Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s claim that it was bound for the US, as criticism mounts over possible war crime.

US President Donald Trump suggested that the NFL should consider changing its name, during the 2026 World Cup Draw at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC. He suggested that what Americans call ‘soccer’ should be ‘football' as it is called globally. He sparked one of the most stupid and oldest debates in Football, which has been discussed millions of times. &nbsp;"When you look at what has happened to football in the United States, soccer in the United States, we seem to never call it that, because we have a little bit of a conflict with another thing that's called football," said Trump, to which he was met with subdued laughter."We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff. It really doesn't make sense when you think about it," said Trump in front of NFL stars like Tom Brady and Eli Manning.

<h2>NFL vs Football</h2>Some people reacted that it is long overdue for common sense. &nbsp;Football is played with a round ball and kicked with the foot; only the goalkeeper can handle the ball, whereas NFL, it's a lot more than just foot and a lot complicated. Let's say you can hold the ball with your hand and run with it. The NFL, or the National Football League, originated from Rugby with a little bit of modification. The oval-shaped ball remains the same, with two sets of goalposts on both sides. But suggesting the NFL, a cultural and financial behemoth in the US, should just “come up with another name” is a buzzing performance."Tackleball. Best I got. All we do is tackle the person with the ball. Rarely kick the ball at all," said one user in X, while another said, "Funny how it took him this long to realise the entire world already had that figured out."Before suggesting the name change, FIFA President Gianni Infantino awarded Trump the first and only ever FIFA Peace Prize. The World Cup draw also featured many other like the comedian Kevin Hart and TV personality Heidi Klum, who introduced Infantino to kick off the show.&nbsp;

US President Donald Trump sparked debate at the 2026 World Cup draw by saying soccer deserves the name “football” and that American football should be renamed. His comments triggered strong reactions from fans and pundits.

Georgian Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed that US President Donald Trump was furious over her signature of the House Petition that compelled the release of the Epstein Files. Once a staunch ally of the Trump administration, Greene has been advocating transparency, accountability, and the release of Epstein files in the last few months. Her recent statement opens another discussion about whether it was Trump who would be hurt by the release of the Epstein files.In an interview that will be aired on the 60 Minutes show of CBS News on Sunday, Marjorie Taylor Greene told Leslie Stahl about her discussion on the Epstein files, "We did talk about the Epstein files, and he was extremely angry at me that I had signed the discharge petition to release the files.""I fully believe that those women deserve everything they're asking. They're asking for everything to come out. They deserve it. And he was furious with me."Marjori Taylor Greene was one of the four Republicans who signed the House Petition, which demanded the release of the government files related to disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.&nbsp;"What did he say?" asked Leslie Stahl."Um. He said that it was going to hurt people," replied Greene.&nbsp;

The last interview between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Leslie Stahl was completely different; she was calling Biden and the Democrats a “party of pedophiles”. Stahl asked why they are Pedophile. The reply even amazed Leslie Stahl, "Democrats support - even Joe Biden, the President himself - supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualising children is what pedophiles do to children"

<h2>Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene's rift over Epstein files</h2>Donald &nbsp;Trump came to power promising to release the Epstein files, but reversed his stance once elected. The feud intensified with her refusal to accept Trump's excuses for not releasing the Epstein files. He even directed Republican Congress members not to support any House petition to compel the DOJ to release the files. However, &nbsp;Greene and Thomas Massie broke away and signed the petition. This made Greene a target of hate. She, on several occasions, expressed a foreign interest involved in the Epstein files, to blackmail the US leaders. At the same time, many targeted her and abused her for implying that Jews were involved in that conspiracy. Trump called her a “raging lunatic” who drifted off to the "far left".Last month, Greene announced her resignation in a social media post. “There is no 'plan to save the world' or insane 4D chess game being played…The Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart,” said Marjorie Taylor Greene,&nbsp; &nbsp;

Marjorie Taylor Greene says Donald Trump was furious she signed a House petition to release the Epstein files, raising questions about who the disclosures might impact.

Russian President Vladimir Putin concluded his two-day state visit to India, marking the 25th anniversary of the India-Russia strategic partnership. During the visit, Putin held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu, discussing defense, energy, trade, and regional security. 

Putin's India Trip: Putin Wraps Up India Visit, Reaffirms Strategic Ties 

An unusually cordial summit meeting between Indian President and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin has sent an unmistakable message to US President Donald Trump: Your global influence has limits.After two days of talks in New Delhi and a slew of agreements, one can draw the conclusion that the tight relations between Russia and India, built up over decades, remain unaffected despite US and European efforts to isolate Russia and despite widespread condemnation of its war on Ukraine.Uncharacteristically for the verbose American president, Trump refrained from immediate comment on two days of a summit during which Modi and Putin portrayed the long-standing Indian-Russian relationship as an example of stability at a time of geopolitical turbulence.Those ties have been a source of deep annoyance for Trump, who fumed in a social media post in September that it “looks like we have lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China” and sharply criticised Indian purchases of Russian oil, which he said lubricated Putin’s war machine.That criticism came after a meeting between Modi, Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. American annoyance with India has not changed since.US, disenchantment with India went beyond the rhetorical: the US hit India with an additional trade tariff of 25 per cent as punishment for the oil purchases, bringing the tariff total to 50 per cent.Modi has shown no sign of giving in to American pressure, and Putin subtly nudged his host to stick to his policy by saying that “Russia is ready for uninterrupted shipments of fuel to India.”These shipments increased dramatically after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 because Russia offered heavy discounts to bypass Western sanctions. India is now the second biggest buyer of Russian crude after China.The summit, largely ignored by the U.S. media, has highlighted Modi’s skill in walking a tricky tightrope between his country’s historic relationship with Russia and growing economic ties with the United States and its vast market for a large array of goods.Indian-Russian ties date back to the Cold War and Delhi’s leadership role in the non-aligned movement of countries that tried to avoid taking sides between the Soviet Union and the United States. As far as defence ties are concerned, India leaned towards the Soviet Union. Russia, its successor, remains India’s main supplier of military hardware.The summit underlined that the cornerstone of Indian foreign policy remains “strategic autonomy”, which withstands external pressures even from an American president who has left no doubt he considers himself the lead player on the increasingly complicated geopolitical order.This view was mocked in public last summer by Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last summer after Trump imposed a 50 per cent tariff on Brazilian exports. In an interview with CNN, the Brazilian leaders said: “What we cannot have is President Trump forgetting that he was elected to govern the U.S. He was elected not to be the emperor of the world.”In the absence of immediate official comment, one Washington analyst predicted that the display of warmth and friendship at the Delhi summit would cause “heartburn” in the diplomatic and national security communities of the Trump administration.Not least because Modi described relations between the two countries as “steadfast like a pole star.”India and Russia have held annual summits since the year 2000, when they declared a strategic partnership. The meetings alternated between Russia and India, paused after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and resumed in 2024 when Modi visited Moscow. No date for the next summit has been set.

"And the dummies that do like him are standing there smiling like the idiots Trump knows they are," one X user said as a second echoed, "Do the people in the room understand he’s insulting them to their faces?"During the 2016 election speech, Trump said, "We won with the young. We won with the old. We won with highly educated people. We won with the poorly educated. I love the poorly educated,"&nbsp;<h2>Are MAGA supporters stupid?</h2>While calling all Trump voters stupid will be an oversimplification of a much complex process of the resurgence of conservatism across the globe. However, the voting pattern slightly tilted towards the low IQ of conservative politics.
