Trump sparks fresh concerns by claiming he may still be president ‘in 2026 or 2032’

Trump sparks fresh concerns by claiming he may still be president ‘in 2026 or 2032’

Donald Trump just will not stop talking about potentially running for a third term, even though he and everyone in his administration knows it’s against the US constitution.

Trump has been distributing caps with “Trump 2028” on them for months now. There was also recently a “chilling” moment a Trump judicial nominee refused to answer a basic question on his eligibility to serve as president again should concern everyone.

But while Trump continues to make reference to running for president again in 2028, he’s now speaking about ‘being here in 2032’.

Trump is commenting on 'good-looking' muscly men again

Donald Trump has been making bizarre comments again after complimenting the “muscles” and good looks of US Coast Guard Academy cadets.

A recurring theme that has emerged throughout his presidency is that it appears US president Trump likes to comment on attractive men when speaking publicly, especially ones with big muscles.

Trump has previously been heard telling an MMA fighter he was “beautiful” and “too good looking” to fight, thirsting over ICE agents and their “much larger, and harder, muscles” and calling the Syrian president a “young attractive guy”.

Scientists debunk Donald Trump's misleading global warming claims

Donald Trump has used his Truth Social platform to dismiss global warming projections, presenting a distorted view of climate science and the international community’s approach to climate policy.

The United Nations regularly publishes extensive scientific reports detailing the current state and likely future impacts of human-caused global warming. These reports incorporate updated scenarios to project future climate change, with carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels serving as a critical determinant. Higher carbon pollution leads to greater global warming, prompting scientists to base their projections on a range of potential scenarios.

These scenarios recently became the subject of Mr Trump’s social media post.

Donald Trump faces growing Republican rebellion in Congress

A growing number of Republican lawmakers are demonstrating a willingness to break ranks with Donald Trump, forming a small but steadily expanding cohort that could complicate his legislative agenda. This emerging independence comes at a critical juncture, with the party holding a tenuous majority in Congress and facing key votes on issues ranging from the Iran war to immigration funding.

Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana has become the latest to join this group. Days after losing his primary election to a Trump-backed challenger, Cassidy reversed his stance on legislation concerning the war in Iran, voting alongside Democrats to curb US military action. He articulated his reasoning the day before the vote, stating: "The way our Constitution is set up, Congress should hold the executive branch accountable."

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas could be next to show such defiance, particularly after Trump endorsed Ken Paxton, Cornyn's rival for the Republican nomination in an upcoming runoff.

Trump tries to call gas prices 'peanuts'

Donald Trump’s second term as president has been full of all kinds of bizarre and worrying developments, but two things seem to be defining the rhetoric over recent months – the Iran war, and the price of gasoline.

Trump has attempted to downplay the cost of filling up at the pump, but Americans are increasingly unhappy.

The president even admitted he ‘doesn't think about Americans' financial situations' when making decisions concerning the ongoing Iran war.

'Beyond parody' as MAGA speaker claims God wants the White House ballroom

MAGA Christian speaker suggested God has wanted a White House ballroom for 200 years in a speech that has been dubbed “beyond parody”.

For reasons that remain rather obscure, US president Donald Trump has been pushing hard for a ballroom to be built on the grounds of the historic White House.

This weekend, at the Trump-backed “Rededicate 250” religious event, one speaker, Eric Metaxas, a Christian author, appeared to suggest God has been waiting for Trump to be in power in order to build the ballroom he always wanted.

Trump attempts to threaten Iran again and people are getting bored of it

Donald Trump has attempted to threaten Iran yet again and it is wearing thin as people become bored of it.

More than 11 weeks after US president Trump launched the US into war with Iran alongside Israel, he has contradicted himself many times on not only the objectives of the war, but also over deadlines he has set and even whether or not the conflict constitutes a war.

When it comes to re-opening the Strait of Hormuz (a vital shipping lane for oil that has been closed due the war), Trump has previously set a deadline with a threat to Iran that a “whole civilization will die”, but the deadline appeared to fall by the wayside.

Trump posts picture of himself on dollar note

Donald Trump posted a picture of himself depicted on a dollar note (months after plans were announced to add his signature on all new US paper currency) and people have thoughts about it.

US president Trump is not shy when it comes to putting his name or image to things – whether it be renaming the Kennedy Center after himself or selling a whole host of products, including Bibles and trainers, to his supporters with the Trump name attached.

Now, in his latest move, Trump posted an edited image depicting himself on a dollar note in place of where other individuals, such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, currently feature on genuine currency.

Trump's 7-word statement becomes instant Democrat campaign slogan

Donald Trump has sparked widespread anger after making comments about the American people, saying that he ‘doesn't think about Americans' financial situations’ at all when considering next steps in Iran.

It comes as inflation has risen to 3.8 as the Iran war continues – with inflation rising at a faster pace than wages for the first time in Trump’s second term.

However, Trump said that he didn’t think about anything but stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon.

Trump Organization’s latest 70-storey tower location sparks condemnation: 'Greed'

Many of us will be familiar with the Trump Organization’s US property portfolio, such as Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City, but an announcement this week about a new build for the company has been met with condemnation online.

In a post to social media on Monday, executive vice president Eric Trump said: “I am so excited to share the official rendering of Trump Tower Tbilisi.

“With a prime location, in the heart of Tbilisi, this tower will quickly become a landmark as the tallest building in Georgia. This marks our first project in the region and we are so excited to bring it to life!”

White House lash out at 'moron' suggesting Trump was asleep

The White House lashed out at a “moron” who suggested Donald Trump had fallen asleep (again) during an event – but it backfired pretty quickly.

Appearing to doze off during professional engagements is becoming somewhat of a habit for the 79-year-old US president. And, it seems to only be getting worse as he was recently pictured apparently nodding off while standing up.

The most recent case of the president catching forty winks came at a maternal health event held at the White House in the Oval Office on Wednesday (11 May). Sitting at the desk, Trump was seen with his eyes closed while those standing behind him spoke to the press and the cameras that were gathered.

A rare 11,000-carat (2.2 kilogram) ruby, considered the second-largest by weight ever found in Myanmar, has been unearthed by miners in the conflict-battered Southeast Asian nation, state media reported on Friday (8 May).

The colossal gem was discovered near Mogok, in the upper Mandalay region, the heartland of the lucrative gem-mining industry that has recently experienced intense fighting in the country’s wide-ranging civil war.

The state-run Global New Light of Myanmar reported the newly found rough ruby was discovered in mid-April, just after the traditional New Year festival.

Donald Trump Jr’s Iran war post proves there’s always a tweet

With the Trump family posting online as frequently as they do, it’s likely that at least one of their old tweets may not have aged well over time. It’s certainly happened with US president Donald Trump, as past posts about winning and losing, gas prices, and government shutdowns have all come back to haunt him.

Now, it’s the turn of Donald Trump Jr to be reminded of comments he made years ago, as his father continues to wage war on Iran.

Back in April 2024, Trump Jr wrote: “Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?
