Commerce Secretary's Social Security Comments Were Misspoken, Says Congressman
Monday, 24 March 2025 U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick misspoke when he commented about citizen reactions to the Trump administration's handling of Social Security -- at least, that’s what Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick seems to think. Rich stopped by "TMZ Live"…
In a jaw-dropping moment inside the Oval Office, Apple CEO Tim Cook presented President Donald Trump with a one-of-a-kind memento — a stunning disc of iPhone glass mounted on a 24-karat gold base — as he announced Apple’s colossal $600 billion investment in US manufacturing. The handcrafted gift was designed by a former US Marine Corps corporal currently working at Apple and features Trump’s name, Cook’s signature, the Apple logo, and “Made in USA 2025” engraved onto the glass.
The base, made from Utah-sourced gold, symbolizes Apple’s deeper commitment to American soil. Standing beside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Trump praised Apple’s investment surge and reiterated his push for iPhones to be made in the USA. The latest $100 billion pledge adds to Apple’s earlier announcements to create 20,000 jobs and build domestic infrastructure. This grand gesture — and golden gift — comes amid rising pressure on US companies to bring production home.

President Donald Trump has unveiled Apple’s staggering $100 billion expansion plan in the U.S., raising its total investment pledge to $600 billion over the next four years. The Oval Office announcement follows months of tariff threats from Trump, who recently floated a 25% tax on foreign-made Apple products. Apple CEO Tim Cook appeared alongside Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and presented a symbolic gold-based souvenir to mark the occasion. While the investment will expand Apple’s U.S. supply chain, it still falls short of Trump’s demand to manufacture iPhones domestically.
Cook noted that several components — including glass and chips — are already U.S.-made, but final assembly will stay overseas “for a while.” Experts say the move is both a savvy PR maneuver and a strategic way to sidestep future tariff risks. Apple shares closed up 5%, with suppliers like Corning and Applied Materials also surging after the blockbuster announcement.

President Donald Trump has reignited global trade tension by declaring that the U.S. can “do whatever we want” as the July 8 deadline on reciprocal tariffs approaches. The 90-day pause on steep U.S. import duties—affecting several nations—is set to expire soon, with Trump refusing to confirm adherence to any deadline. While the EU faces a 50% tariff threat by July 9, Trump hinted flexibility, echoing his stance that America will act in its best interest. Amidst this uncertainty, Trump teased a “very big” trade deal with India, stating the U.S. has finalized partial deals with China and the UK and is working on opening India’s trade structure. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Indian Minister Piyush Goyal have confirmed negotiations are progressing. Trump suggested letters may soon be sent to over 200 nations outlining revised U.S. trade terms. The trade battlefield is heating up again—with Trump in full control.

President Donald Trump claims nearly 275,000 illegal immigrants have been removed from the U.S. Social Security system following his signing of the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Speaking to supporters, Trump touted the measure as both a senior citizen tax relief initiative and a step to protect benefits from what he called “fraudulent claims.” He linked the deportations to safeguarding Social Security funds for American retirees, framing the move as a major policy success and a warning to undocumented migrants.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that Israel will conquer all of Gaza, even if Hamas agrees to a hostage deal, intensifying fears of an unrelenting military campaign. Speaking after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a new offensive on Gaza City, Netanyahu said Hamas’ removal is non-negotiable and compared leaving them in Gaza to leaving Nazis in Berlin. He cited U.S. President Donald Trump’s backing, noting Trump’s statement that Hamas “cannot stay” in Gaza. Despite mounting international condemnation and warnings from the UN and humanitarian groups, Netanyahu dismissed criticism as a “tsunami of anti-Semitism.” The humanitarian toll continues to escalate, with over 62,000 Palestinians reported killed since October 2023. Several nations, including France, are considering recognition of Palestine in response to the crisis. Netanyahu insists the war could end immediately if Hamas disarms, but vowed Israel will not stop short of total conquest.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump reacted sharply after Russian missile strikes destroyed an American-owned factory in Ukraine, accusing Joe Biden of weakness and incompetence. Trump argued that Ukraine cannot win the war without striking inside Russia, blasting Biden for only allowing Kyiv to “defend” instead of “fight back.” He claimed the invasion would have “zero chance” of happening if he were in office, declaring that Biden’s failed leadership emboldened Moscow. The attack, which hit a U.S. electronics plant in western Ukraine, has intensified tensions and raised fears that Russia is deliberately targeting American investments. Trump’s fiery comments come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that Vladimir Putin does not want peace but seeks to install a Russian-controlled puppet regime. With Washington and Europe scrambling for security guarantees, Trump’s blunt remarks signal deep divisions in U.S. policy as the war enters a new, dangerous phase.
