Trump spends day off from court hosting NFT customers in Florida

Former President Donald Trump will spend his day off from court hosting a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago residence for buyers of his NFT trading cards, according to a source familiar with the planning.

NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are part of a suite of non-campaign-focused ventures that Trump has been balancing with his White House run and his legal issues throughout 2023 and 2024. After Stormy Daniels testified about an alleged sexual encounter with the former president on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that he’d like to be campaigning as opposed to being tied up in a courtroom.

But his schedule on Wednesday won’t include public campaign events. The source familiar with the planning shared that Trump’s day off from court will also include private political meetings. Axios was first to…

‘We were honoured’: McLaren defend hosting Donald Trump during Miami GP amid backlash

McLaren have issued a statement, defending their decision to allow former US president Donald Trump to visit their garage at the Miami Grand Prix that concluded on Sunday (May 5) with a first top podium finish for Lando Norris. A section of Formula 1 fans, however, did not like the presence of Trump and criticised the British motorsport company. 

Trump, who lives in Florida, was among the several VIPs to descend to the race track and the paddock in Miami. He was seen interacting with Norris while posing for photos with team chief executive Zak Brown in the pit lane outside the garage.  

Amid the online criticism, McLaren issued a statement saying that the organisation was honoured to host Trump at the request of the FIA boss.  

“McLaren is a non-political organisation however we…

Trump says Biden would be ‘responsible’ for any TikTok ban

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday that President Joe Biden was “pushing” for a ban on TikTok and would be the one responsible if a ban were imposed, urging voters to take notice.

The US House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation on a 360-58 vote on Saturday that would give TikTok’s Chinese owner ByteDance about nine months to divest its US operations or face a ban.

The bill now moves to the Senate. If it passes there, Biden has said he would sign it into law.

Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday that Biden would be “responsible for banning TikTok. He is the one pushing it to close, and doing it to help his friends over at Facebook become richer and more dominant.”

Trump then urged younger voters – who make up a…

“You can watch on the TV … at Rikers”: Jimmy Kimmel may host next Oscars to spite Trump

Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump can’t seem to stop beefing.

During the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday night monologue, Kimmel responded to Trump’s recent Truth Social tirade aimed at him, the latest in a series of ongoing jabs between the two. “Stupid Jimmy Kimmel, who still hasn’t recovered from his horrendous performance and big ratings drop as Host of The Academy Awards, especially when he showed he suffered from TDS, commonly known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, to the entire World by reading on air my TRUTH about how bad a job he was doing that night, right before he stumbled through announcing the biggest award of all, ‘Picture of the Year,'” Trump wrote on Wednesday morning. 

The ex-president also mistakenly confused the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”…

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Out Donald Trump at the 2024 Oscars

Since Jimmy Kimmel had an “extra minute” toward the end of the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday, he decided to use his time to call out former President Donald Trump.

“I’m really proud of something and I was wondering if I could share it with you. I just got a review,” the host quipped. Kimmel proceeded to read a post that Trump shared on his social media platform Truth Social.

“Has there EVER been a WORSE HOST than Jimmy Kimmel at The Oscars,” the post read. “His opening was that of a less than average person trying too hard to be something which he is not, and never can be.”

The post continued, “Get rid of Kimmel and perhaps replace him with another washed up, but cheap, ABC “talent,” George Slopanopoulos. He would make…
