U.S. President Donald Trump addressed House Republicans during a closed-door retreat at the Kennedy Center, delivering remarks that quickly became a focal point online after short clips surfaced across social media. During the speech, Trump veered off script, acting out exaggerated weightlifting motions and joking about being criticized at home for behavior he said was “unpresidential.” Trump also used the appearance to ridicule foreign leaders and global negotiations, including comments about international drug pricing and remarks aimed at France’s leadership. 

A series of high-stakes decisions made by the Trump administration that lawmakers say pushed legal and constitutional boundaries. What began as quiet concern inside the halls of Congress has now escalated into a national conversation on executive overreach, political risk-taking, and who ultimately pays the price when power plays backfire. Members of Congress are now openly flagging what they describe as “high-risk actions” taken under Trump’s leadership. WATCH
