Trump administration 2024-2028

The foundational question is how it would be possible to find someone worse than a Russian agent to be the Director of National Intelligence, and yet how Trump will manage to do just that.
 
The official fund for Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is empty and the organisation is stuck in a legal and political limbo that has held up projects to rebuild Gaza.
The US president described the board, which solicited $1bn “lifetime membership” fees from world leaders, as one of the “most consequential” international organisations created. Member states pledged $7bn for the board’s Gaza “relief package”, and Trump promised a further $10bn in US funding.
But four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. “Zero dollars have been deposited,” one said.

A Board of Peace official told the FT that “a number of options were established to receive funding” including the World Bank mechanism and that “at this point, contributors have opted to use other options”.
The Board of Peace “will report its financials” to its own executive board, which is made up of Trump administration officials and other advisers, “at a time deemed appropriate”, the official added.

Board of peace is just a Trump slush fund...

Dodged a bullet there west, dodged a bullet.

UFC structure takes shape at the White House, adding to Trump’s list of distractions​

It was one thing to hear the president talk about the temporary construction project; it’s something else to see the endeavor actually take shape.


In mid-April, roughly six weeks into the war with Iran, the White House deployed JD Vance and the administration’s diplomatic “A team” to Pakistan for direct negotiations with officials from Tehran. The talks proved pointless, and the vice president returned home empty-handed.

A day later, Donald Trump spoke with reporters outside the Oval Office and talked at some length about the issue foremost on his mind. “I’ve been involved in a lot of big events,” the president said. “I have never had an event that has had more interest than the UFC fight we have right at the front door.”

Pointing to the White House South Lawn, the Republican added, “Right there, they’re going to start building a 4,500-seat arena, and then in the back, at the Ellipse, we’re going to have 100,000, maybe 50,000 to 100,000 people, I guess. They’re building tremendous stages, and we’re going to have massive screens of the fight. It’s a very popular sport.”

It was one thing to hear Trump talk about the temporary construction project; it’s something else to see the endeavor actually take shape. Roughly six weeks after the president’s weird monologue about the UFC venue, The Associated Press reported:

Yet another White House construction project is underway, though this one is meant to be only temporary.

Crews are erecting an octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn that will host next month’s UFC bout, helping mark the nation’s 250th anniversary — and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday.

I wonder if they can somehow prop up the remains of Charlton Heston in a chariot and have him race around the Reflecting Pool against other competitors.

 
Interesting article from the folks over at Semafor on how Canada helped US citizens during Op Epic Fury:

In the early days of Operation Epic Fury, as Gulf states absorbed hundreds of Iranian drones and missiles, the US faced a crisis helping its citizens evacuate from the region. Improvising, American diplomats in Abu Dhabi phoned a friend: Canada.
