Reporter: “Mr. President, Emmanuel Macron is blaming the Iran war and you, essentially, for the rioting in France right now.” 
President Trump: “I don't think it is. No, I think that's fake news. Who are you with?” 
Reporter: “Mary Margaret with the Daily Wire.”
 President Trump: “Oh, Daily Wire is good.” 
Donald Trump: “Emmanuel, look, he's a friend of mine. I told him a long time ago, you're making a big mistake in France. You're letting everybody from the world come in. The whole world was coming in. And, you know, as you know, Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon.” “And that wasn't the deal. That wasn't the deal. I told Emmanuel, you should close up your borders.” Europe is destroying itself by importing third-world migrants.

NEWS: The New York City Council has VOTED 40-7 to PHASE out horse-drawn carriages in Central Park by June 1, 2028 ENRAGING drivers and workers who rely on the industry for a living, as Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani backs the BAN. POTUS is also FURIOUS writing on Truth Social earlier today: “The Horse-drawn Carriage in New York City is a quintessential New York experience. So sad that, for political reasons, we will see it go! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

PATHETIC: Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is BEGGING leftists to DONATE to her on TikTok and through campaign emails after it was EXPOSED in a DOJ filing—and sources confirmed to Fox News Digital—that her real name is not Ilhan Omar but actually “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi.” Bill Melugin: “She's also putting out a series of fundraising emails, including this one, which says in part, ‘Trump is officially working to strip my citizenship. Rush a contribution to my campaign today to support my legal defense.” “Tonight, Fox News Digital is reporting via multiple sources that Ilhan Omar is not the Minnesota Congresswoman's real name. It's actually Ilhan Noor Said Elmi. That's the same last name as the brother she's rumored to have married. It's also the same full name that DOJ used for her in a recent court filing regarding the search warrant on her house.”

JUST IN: President Trump BACKS Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s “very powerful” ad ATTACKING far-left Amy Acton—featuring her estranged mother calling her a liar about her childhood—BLASTING soft Republicans like Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine demanding he take it down. Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to ‘take down the Ad.’ Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office, let alone the Office of Governor. If my mother, the legendary Mary MacLeod Trump, said anything bad about me, the Fake News would play it up. The Dumocrats would be totally supportive, and it would go down as the Ad of the Decade — Maybe the Century! It would win Awards for Excellence in Advertising. But, because Vivek, who will be a GREAT Governor, put it out, the ‘Artificial’ News has teamed up against him in order to damage, demean, and embarrass a Republican who is leading in the Polls. Our RINO Governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, who I unfortunately helped get elected years ago, when he was losing by 16 points prior to my doing a Rally for him was, as usual, disloyal to the Republican Party. He strongly suggested that Vivek should, ‘take down the Ad.’ He probably wants a Dumocrat to win, and certainly doesn’t want someone who will do a much better job than he is capable of doing. I suggested, on the other hand, that Vivek should keep it up, and let everyone listen to the mother of a defective, dishonest, and incapable Candidate, explain how the daughter is a DISASTER who, uncontrollably, lies, cheats, and steals! I only wish the mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse. That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, ‘hitting pay dirt.’ The fact is, Lyin’ Amy Acton, who I’ve never even heard of before, has been lying about Vivek for the entire Campaign. I know the real Vivek, he is a brilliant and outstanding person who will cut Taxes, stop Crime and, MAKE OHIO GREAT AGAIN. He will be a fantastic Governor! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

WOW: Liberals are MELTING DOWN after Elon Musk has REPORTEDLY invested $1B in David Ellison’s SkyDance, which now owns Paramount—which owns CNN—according to Semafor. Musk could do the FUNNIEST thing and just END CNN once and for all.

NOW: President Trump has weighed in AGAINST New York City Council’s expected vote today to END horse-drawn carriages in Central Park after a recent tragic accident. “When there is a car accident in the area, of which there are many, they don’t stop cars from entering the Park.” Trump wrote on Truth Social: “So sad to see the beloved Central Park Horse-drawn Carriage Industry ending after over a Century, based largely on one tragic accident. When there is a car accident in the area, of which there are many, they don’t stop cars from entering the Park. So why would they stop the Carriages? It was a Great Tradition. Another piece of History that’s gone. It will be missed! President DONALD J. TRUMP” In a separate post, POTUS wrote: “The Horse-drawn Carriage in New York City is a quintessential New York experience. So sad that, for political reasons, we will see it go! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt GIVES her THOUGHTS on Katie Zacharia’s 5-day Stint as press secretary: “White House press secretary is a tough job. I know that because I did it, obviously, for almost two years, and many people say it’s one of the hardest jobs in politics. It takes a lot of preparation, and sometimes you don’t know how someone will perform until they go out there.” “So, look, as the president said, we wish Katie the best. The job, obviously, was not for her, but we wish her and her family well, and I think I know the president is continuing to look over options. There’s a lot of people who want that job. It’s an amazing job. It provides you with incredible opportunities, and I’ve offered my help to the president to help him select someone who can serve him in the country well.” Fox News’ Digital’s Paul Steinhauser: “When he asks you for your advice, what kind of advice do you give him on who he should select?” Karoline Leavitt: “I’ll keep my private counsel to the president private but I do, obviously, talk to him about what the job entails, and he knows it very well. Nobody understands the press better than Donald Trump. He knows he needs someone who is tough, who is smart, who understands his policies, who is loyal, and who can go out there and put up a fight. So, again, there’s plenty of people who want the job. There’s a lot of qualified people who can have it. It’s just up to the president to make that decision.” Leavitt was TRULY the best Press Secretary in HISTORY and people didn’t fully appreciate her until she was gone.

Iowa Patriot BACKS President Trump 100%: “I'm from a farm family. Every farmer I know supports Trump and supports his policies. So [the high fuel prices are] just a small blimp.” ““Everybody already supports these candidates. I think Trump being present will help energize people to actually get out and vote. That's going to be the key. If they get out and vote, the Republicans are going to win.” “Well, I support everything conservative. I support Trump. Ashley Hinson from Iowa is a fabulous candidate. I mean, she should be our next senator. We need to continue supporting conservative values and the policies that Trump has implemented and have those continue and not lose either the House or the Senate.” Great man!

WATCH: Vice President JD Vance STOPS his Nebraska rally after a woman in the crowd suffers a medical emergency, leads attendees in the Lord’s Prayer, and then walks into the stands to check on her. Vance is a good man!

Reporter: “Any action from the Justice Department in terms of certification [of the midterm elections] process of states? Is there any scenario in which DOJ would weigh in on that certification process or try to block states from certifying?” Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Is there any scenario? Yes, of course there's scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically, some doomsday scenario, for example, right? So I don't think it's proper to make any kind of conclusory statements about what's going to happen in the future, because I have no idea what's going to happen in the future.” ‘It is not DOJ's intention to, and it's never our intention to, improperly interfere with elections or the state confirmation process or certification process… To say that there's no circumstances that we would ever do that, of course I'm not going to say that. But am I planning my days around the election to be somewhere to not certify? Of course not. No, not at all.” Not sure how you can CERTIFY the election results in California when they have 20K noncitizen voters on their rolls that RECEIVED ballots.

NEWS: President Trump BACKHANDS “TOTAL DISGRACE” LeBron James after he COMPLETELY DISRESPECTED our country by practicing his golf swing and free throw form during the National Anthem. “LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag…” Trump wrote on Truth Social: “While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE. LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Reporter: “In light of the recent SCOTUS ruling on the voter database, are states turning over voter information… What is the Justice Department going to do if they don't comply? Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Well, so some states are complying, but what we're going to do if they don't comply is we want to work with the states. We're not trying to, it's not our desire to go to court every time something happens or doesn't happen. And so we're hopeful that states, when they look at the Supreme Court's decision and the requests that DHS is making, that the DOJ doesn't have to get involved.” “The only time it becomes a DOJ issue is if we have to represent DHS in court. So we're hopeful that that process works its way out with DHS… If it doesn't, we'll go from there… as the Supreme Court has said, we're operating within laws that Congress passed that have existed for a long time.” The fact that MOSTLY Democrat states REFUSE to hand over their voter rolls should be CONCERNING to every American. Why is it controversial that ONLY Americans should VOTE in American elections?

Reporter: “Is the end game here to move to denaturalize [Ilhan Omar] and to remove her?” Attorney General Todd Blanche: There's no end game. It's an investigation. And by the way, denaturalization is civil, it's not criminal. So a search warrant is something that's done in the course of a criminal investigation.” “So I don't think it's fair to her or to the Department of Justice or to DHS to have an end game during what's now been publicly disclosed as a criminal investigation.” The END game should 100% be to DENATURALIZE and DEPORT this garbage human back to Somalia.

Reporter: “I was wondering if you could just elaborate on why the Justice Department decided to do the [Ilhan Omar] search now. Why did you guys decide that this could not wait until after November?” Attorney General Todd Blanche: “So the questions around why we choose to do something in an investigation necessarily involve the investigation itself. So I can't elaborate on it.” “If there comes a time when there's other action taken, there's a motion that an individual defendant can make that challenges the timing of why we did things. And then we have to justify why we did things… When we make decisions about when to do something overt or covert and it happens to be an elected official or somebody that could have a role with an election, that's one of the factors we take into account.” “I can tell you unequivocally that the decision to seek a search warrant had nothing to do with what's happening in November… This is something that a judge reviewed and a judge took into consideration. And so it isn't the Attorney General or Director Patel or HSI, Markwayne Mullin, making a decision on our own. It's going to a judge and having a judge authorize it. So that's what we did.”

Reporter: “[DHS Secretary] Mullin said that you briefed the president after the search of Ilhan Omar. Why would he have any role in that investigation? Why would he need to be informed about the search of a congresswoman's home?” Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Secretary Mullin said that I briefed the president?” Reporter: “President Trump was briefed.” Todd Blanche: “I didn't brief the president. Why does the president have a role in learning about something that's on the front page of every paper in the country? I think I don't know who or what was said to the president about the search or that it was done, but it certainly doesn't surprise me that— I mean, he's been asked about it, I think, in every press gaggle and press briefing since it happened. So the fact that he was educated about whatever he was educated about, that shouldn't surprise anybody.” The President has a right to know what is going on at the Justice Department.
