Trump's Truth Social post about Harry Kane sparks debate: 'Kiss of death'

Donald Trump has weighed in with his footballing thoughts following England's thrilling 3-2 performance against Mexico at the Azteca Stadium to secure their place in the World Cup quarter finals.

Taking a break from his political posts and rants, the US president took to Truth Social to praise the England's captain as he wrote, "Harry Kane of England is a GREAT player!!!"

It seems Trump tuned into the match which saw Kane score a penalty in the 60th minute - although he failed to mention the two goals delivered by Jude Bellingham in the 36th and 38th minute of the game...

Hunter Biden hilariously trolls Trump by ‘nominating him for Nobel Peace Prize’

Hunted Biden quickly became a lot of people’s favourite account after signing up to Twitter/X earlier this summer, and now he’s posted a message trolling Donald Trump over the Iran war.

Biden jokingly nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for ending “the war with Iran at least 38 times”.

Biden, the son of former president Joe Biden, was of course referring to Trump’s coveting of the Nobel Peace Prize, as well as accepting the sycophantic FIFA Peace Prize earlier this year.

This is the same Trump, of course, who recently claimed he wants world peace – then threatened to “bomb the s*** out of Iran” if they didn’t sign a peace deal in the space of 12 hours.

No one can quite believe Trump's 'threesome' remark about his sons

US president Donald Trump raised eyebrows with a bizarre “threesome” remark he made about his own sons.

On Wednesday (1 July), Trump visited the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, North Dakota. During his visit he made a speech, parts of which have since gone viral because what he said was so strange.

The president was joined in North Dakota by his two eldest sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who got an odd shoutout from their dad.

Trump joked about awarding himself, as well as his “two beautiful sons” the Medal of Honor, suggesting it would be a “threesome”.

RFK Jr 'appears to think wrestling is real' in bizarre interview: 'Lmao of course'

Everyone knows that wrestling is scripted, or do they? Robert F Kennedy Jr is being mocked online after critics claimed he appeared to think the WWE is all real.

It’s impossible to predict what Health and Human Services Secretary is going to make headlines with from day to day – whether it’s his claims around autism and Tylenol, or sharing an AI video of him wrestling a Twinkie.

This time, RFK Jr, gave an interview with NewsNation and World Wrestling Entertainment Chief Content Officer and former star Paul "Triple H" Levesque.

Cannibalism taboo evolved to save humanity from epidemics, scientists discover

The deep-seated taboo against cannibalism in human societies may have emerged not from an instinctive aversion, but as a vital evolutionary safeguard against disease, new research suggests.

Scientists from Poland and the Czech Republic have used a mathematical model to demonstrate how the long-term practice of consuming human flesh can lead to population collapse by spreading illnesses among those who partake.

Michal Misiak of the University of Wroclaw and Petr Turecek of Charles University in Prague explored the human body as a food source, weighing its caloric value against inherent dangers. "We looked at the human body as a potential source of food, analysing both energy gains and hidden costs," Mr Misiak stated.

Marjorie Taylor Greene slams Trump and calls him a ‘traitor’ to the US

Marjorie Taylor Greene has continued to surprise people after continuing to criticise Donald Trump, and now she’s branded the president a “traitor” to the US.

Earlier this year, Greene reacted with anger to her former ally Trump’s social media post and shocked the internet – with people shocked that they agreed with her take.

Green, previously a close ally to Trump, was also previously praised for her remarks on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and the war in Iran.

Now, Greene has spoken about Trump again in an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, saying she does not regret speaking out against the president – who she called a “traitor”, just as Trump previously did to her.

‘Please tell me this is parody’: Trump’s latest renovation project met with disbelief

As if US president Donald Trump’s renovations to the White House and the Reflecting Pool weren’t controversial enough, the 80-year-old reportedly has another idea to tweak another Washington, D.C. landmark: this time concerning Lafayette Square park north of the presidential building.

Citing two sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity, The Washington Post reported on Monday that the Republican intends to have exactly 47 maple trees in Lafayette Square, to signify his being the 47th president.

Renovations at the park began back in January, and in a post to his Truth Social platform on Sunday, the president said: “The visit to Lafayette Park, opposite the front entrance of the White House, which is now complete except for a replacement of some of the original pavers, was wonderful.

Why most Black Americans will never fly the US flag again

The American flag, a potent symbol for many, elicits starkly contrasting emotions across the United States, with its meaning deeply divided along political, age, and racial lines.

While Jerry Esters proudly displays the Stars and Stripes outside his Detroit home, Yvonne Pistochini, just a few miles away, asserts there is no circumstance under which she would allow it to cast a shadow over her residence. Both individuals are Black, yet their interpretations of "Old Glory" diverge dramatically.

For Mr Esters, the flag embodies the opportunities that enabled the great-great-grandson of enslaved people to achieve success and flourish. Ms Pistochini, 79, conversely states that the America represented by the flag is not the country she experienced growing up.

These contrasting perspectives are underscored by a new survey conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, ahead of the nation's 250th birthday celebrations.

Donald Trump's election plans suffer major setbacks in American courts

Donald Trump has consistently sought to exert greater control over US elections, employing various strategies from executive orders to advocating for restrictive legislation in Congress. The recent Supreme Court decision, which upheld states' rights to accept late-arriving postal ballots, serves as the latest illustration of the limitations to his influence.

This ruling follows a series of setbacks last week, including two judgments that blocked his sweeping executive orders aimed at altering national election regulations.

Further court decisions have prevented his Department of Justice from acquiring detailed state voter data, and his attempts to pass the SAVE Act in the Senate have stalled. This proposed legislation would effectively eliminate most absentee voting, mandate citizenship documents for voter registration, and impose nationwide photo identification requirements just before the midterm elections.

Inside IZZA: A luxurious retreat in the heart of Marrakech’s Medina

When you picture Marrakech, thoughts of breathtaking sunsets, stunning riads, aromas of mint tea and cumin come to mind.

It’s home to evocative landscapes from Sahara Deserts to snowy Atlas Mountains - and has a rich blend of cultural influences.

Recently, its popularity with Brits has soared and according to Travel and Tour World, the country just overtook South Africa and Egypt to become Africa’s top tourism hotspot - despite rising costs and “increased jet fuel prices”.

Right in the centre of Marrakech, otherwise dubbed the ‘Red City’, is the capital’s Medina, a historic old town with ancient Islamic architecture and grand walls that are vibrant in colour from iron-rich clay.

Endless winding streets lead to bustling souk markets with all kinds of merchants from leather shoe cobblers to el hindia ‘prickly pear’ fruit sellers. The city offers excitement and timeless charm.

Conveniently, just a 10-minute walk from the market - and 15-minute drive from the airport - lies the design-led, boutique hotel, IZZA.

Trump’s latest White House ‘gift’ is being branded ‘tacky’ by critics

Gifts have long been a source of controversy for US president Donald Trump, with one large Qatari jet to be used as the new Air Force One sparking a significant backlash when it was unveiled earlier this month.

And now, the 80-year-old has taken to Truth Social to share a “golden gift to the White House” to mark “its 250^(th) Birthday Year” – a golden eagle, attached to the Truman Balcony overseeing the South Lawn of the presidential building, with 11 stars on it.

It’s not known who provided the “gift”, with the image seemingly being AI-generated.

The Reflecting Pool: A timeline of the chaos that continues to embarrass Trump

US president Donald Trump has overseen a number of controversial renovation works since returning to the White House last year, from demolishing the East Wing of the presidential building to make way for a ballroom, to trying to upgrade the Reflecting Pool by the Lincoln Memorial – something which hasn’t gone all too swimmingly (sorry).

Per BBC News, renovations to the pool – to give it an “American flag blue” colour in time for the country’s 250th birthday celebrations on July 4 - began back in April, but the situation has gone from bad to worse.

Let’s give you a timeline…

US president Donald Trump is being criticised online over what he’s choosing to consider important, after he told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that he thought affordable housing was “so unimportant” compared to his plans for voter eligibility.

Asked by a reporter what his plans were for the housing bill, Trump replied: “I don’t know. I think it’s so unimportant compared to the SAVE America Act.

“The Save America Act is exactly what it says, it’s saving America from crooked elections, and the housing bill is a bill that can get approved.

Trump claims he'd be 'greatest communist'

Donald Trump has sparked criticism after suggesting he would be “the greatest communist in history” – just days before calling communism “the greatest threat to our country”.

Throughout his tenure as president, we have become accustomed to Trump making bizarre remarks that directly contradict other statements he has made in the recent past and have aged like milk.

Possibly one of his strangest comments to date was made on Friday (26 June) at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s 2026 Policy Conference, when he told the audience: “I think I’d be the greatest communist in history. I’d give free rent, ladies and gentlemen, from now on you don’t have to pay any rent.”

Trump criticised after posting another ‘AI slop’ image of himself: ‘Enough already’

Donald Trump has been criticised after reposting another ‘AI-generated slop’ image of himself, comparing himself to the Titan from Greek mythology, Atlas.

The president posted what appears to be an AI-generated depiction of himself holding the world on his shoulders without comment or context.

It's hard to work out what he’s trying to say with the post, but some have suggested he sees himself as being burdened with supporting the entire world himself.
