Trump delivers Thanksgiving message to ‘Radical Left Lunatics’

Trump delivers Thanksgiving message to ‘Radical Left Lunatics’

President-elect Trump on Thursday wished a happy Thanksgiving to all Americans, including those he called “Radical Left Lunatics,” as he vowed to “Make America Great Again” when he takes office on Jan. 20, 2025. In the message posted on Trump’s Truth Social account, the president also had some choice words for those on the “radical left.” “Happy Thanksgiving to all, including to the Radical Left Lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our Country, but who have miserably failed, and will always fail, because their ideas and policies are so hopelessly bad that the great people of our Nation just gave a landslide victory to those who want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote. “Don’t worry, our Country will soon be respected, productive, fair, and strong, and you will be, more than ever before, proud to be an American!” Trump later posted a photo of him posing with law enforcement and wished all a happy Thanksgiving. TRUMP SAYS MEXICO WILL STOP FLOW OF MIGRANTS AFTER SPEAKING WITH MEXICAN PRESIDENT FOLLOWING TARIFF THREATS While it was unclear where the president-elect would be spending Thanksgiving this year, he spent his previous Thanksgiving holidays at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, which was commonly referred to as the “Winter White House” during Trump’s first term. Trump, who declared Mar-a-Lago his primary residence in 2019, has been working with his transition team to select members of his administration’s cabinet since defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.

Is China better prepared for another trade row with the US?

Is China better prepared for another trade row with the US?

China has moved to support its exporters before tariff hikes, as pledged by US President-elect Donald Trump. China is struggling with a real estate downturn, a local government debt crisis and deflation – all of which are dragging down its economic growth. This has made many Chinese companies shift their focus to sales abroad. But, United States President-elect Donald Trump recently announced raising tariffs by an additional 10 percent on all Chinese imports as soon as he takes office. China has announced measures aimed at supporting its exporters in advance of the start of the second Trump administration. Scott Bessent is Trump’s pick for US treasury secretary.

At least 13 killed, many more feared dead as landslides bury Uganda homes

At least 13 killed, many more feared dead as landslides bury Uganda homes

Dozens of houses in six villages of Bulambuli district in eastern Uganda submerged in landsides triggered by heavy rainfall. More than 10 people have been killed and many others are feared dead after heavy rains caused landslides in eastern Uganda. The Uganda Red Cross Society said on Thursday at least 13 bodies had been recovered after landslides “completely buried” 40 homes in six villages of the mountainous district of Bulambuli the previous night. Images on local media showed huge swaths of fallen earth covering the land in the village of Masugu, about a five-hour drive from the capital, Kampala. Videos and photographs shared on social media purported to show people digging for survivors in the village of Kimono. The Uganda Red Cross Society said the rescue effort was continuing but the death toll was likely to rise. 🆘️ Landslide Alert – Bulambuli District* *November 28th 2024* Following heavy rains on November 27th 2024, a landslide struck the villages of Masubu, Nameche Trading Centre, Mamono, Tangalu, Buzemulili, Masoola in Buluganya Sub-county, Bulambuli District.

The heavy rains in recent days caused flooding in the northwest after a tributary of the Nile River burst its banks, prompting the prime minister’s office to issue a disaster alert on Wednesday, saying that main roads across the country had been cut off. Emergency teams were sent to rescue stranded motorists. A road connecting the country with South Sudan was impassable late on Wednesday, with emergency boat crews deployed near the town of Pakwach. “Unfortunately, one of the boats capsized, resulting in the death of one engineer,” Uganda’s defence forces said on X.
