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. 

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has announced she is going off-air after making her most explosive allegation yet — claiming that French President Emmanuel Macron attempted to organize her assassination. Owens says both the White House and U.S. counterterrorism agencies have acknowledged receiving her report, which she says came from a “high-ranking” French government source.
