Trump Blasts DC Statehood—Mocks Calls for Statehood While Criticizing ‘Embarrassing’ Appearance
President Donald Trump slammed the push for DC statehood, calling it “ridiculous” and “unacceptable.” Speaking about the capital’s current state, Trump criticized its appearance as “embarrassing” and explained how federalization could extend beyond the statutory 30-day limit.
His comments reignite the debate over DC’s push for statehood and highlight his continued influence on U.S. political discourse.
In a move set to draw global attention, US President Donald Trump is preparing an elaborate welcome for Russian President Vladimir Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska on August 15. According to senior administration officials, Trump will personally greet Putin on the tarmac, rolling out the red carpet in a rare display of pageantry between Washington and Moscow. While the final schedule remains under wraps, one official confirmed Trump is not expected to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy or European leaders before the meeting. The high-profile encounter comes at a time of strained US-Russia relations, with both leaders expected to discuss security, trade, and global conflicts. Observers say the optics of this meeting could have far-reaching political consequences, especially given its unusual location and symbolic timing.

As Donald Trump prepares to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday, Americans remain deeply divided over the high-stakes summit. Critics are denouncing the meeting as a “travesty” and a potential act of betrayal, warning it could undermine U.S. interests and embolden Moscow. Supporters, however, see the gathering as a historic opportunity for Trump to broker a path toward “world peace,” arguing that direct dialogue could end dangerous escalations.
The Alaska meeting, set against the backdrop of the Ukraine war and tense U.S.-Russia relations, is drawing intense media coverage and heated public debate. While some fear Trump will concede too much to Putin, others believe he is uniquely capable of negotiating a breakthrough. With speculation running high, all eyes now turn to Anchorage, where the outcome could redefine America’s role on the global stage.

In a bizarre twist to Washington, D.C.’s ongoing crime crackdown, a man is facing felony assault charges for allegedly throwing a Subway sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent. Authorities say Sean Charles Dunn confronted the agent in the U Street area, hurling obscenities before “forcefully” tossing the sandwich into the officer’s chest.
The incident unfolded amid President Donald Trump’s recent federalization of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, deploying National Guard troops and multiple federal agencies to patrol the city. After a brief chase, Dunn allegedly confessed to the assault. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro slammed the act, warning, “Stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.” The strange but serious case underscores the tense climate in the capital following Trump’s law-and-order push.
