Donald Trump appears to be in an assertive mode, possibly influenced by recent events or the positive reception during his visit to the UK. He has intensified his criticism of American cities, attacked journalists, and claimed that free speech doesn’t apply when criticizing him.
In recent statements, Trump threatened consequences for journalists who criticize him, citing his electoral success and media bias against him. He expressed frustration with negative news coverage and suggested it might be illegal. Furthermore, he seemed to struggle to understand questions from reporters, displaying impatience and dismissing inquiries.
During a press briefing, Trump announced the launch of a new visa program, including a high-priced “Trump Gold Card” visa for wealthy individuals seeking expedited US citizenship. He also mentioned plans to introduce a $100,000 annual visa fee for skilled foreign workers. Despite facing potential legal challenges, Trump emphasized his determination to implement these changes.
Moreover, Trump discussed negotiations with the Taliban regarding the Bagram air base in Afghanistan, highlighting his direct involvement in diplomatic efforts. He characterized his administration’s actions in American cities as a “war” against criminal elements and indicated a willingness to deploy troops to address law enforcement issues.
Additionally, Trump made controversial remarks about an incident involving the US military destroying a civilian boat off the coast of Venezuela, claiming it was involved in drug trafficking. These actions have raised concerns about extrajudicial measures and international implications.
