President Donald Trump's youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, welcomed a new addition to her family in May, and she reportedly just shared the first photos of her newborn son.
According to the Daily Mail, Tiffany Trump uploaded several photos of her newborn son on her Instagram account, garnering thousands of comments and well wishes as she embarks on her journey of being a new mother.
Tiffany and her husband, Michael Boulous, announced the birth of their son, Alexander, in May of this year.
The pictures of Alexander that she posted showed the newborn in several adorable poses and outfits, including one where he was dressed in a knit teddy bear outfit as he slept in a wooden basket.
Alexander will be President Donald Trump's 11th grandchild, making him quite the proud grandfather. President Trump has always appeared to be close with his grandchildren, often posing in pictures with them.
President Trump's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has five children while Eric Trump has two of his own. The president's oldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, has three children.
President Donald Trump was actually the first to announce that his daughter Tiffany was expecting. It was months later, last December to be exact, that Tiffany Trump publicly confirmed that she was expecting.

The president's daughter captioned the pictures of Alexander by writing, "The love of our lives, ATB."
Tiffany and her husband are not really involved in politics, as the Daily Mail noted:
Tiffany, who graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 2020, has not been heavily involved in her father's political efforts - although she did attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last summer.
Her billionaire husband Michael was born in Lebanon and is the heir to Boulos Enterprises, a Nigerian distribution and assembly company for vehicles including motorcycles and power bikes, run by his father.
Trump's supporters went nuts over the photos, and understandably so, as they were repeatedly described as adorable and perfect.
"I see your mom in his face! Third generation gorgeous. It’s crazy that Marla is a grandmother. Although I suspect she’s a Nana.
Congratulations to everybody!!"
Another X user wrote, "Oh my goodness…such a beautiful baby! Congratulations! So very happy for you."
Only time will tell who in the Trump family has the next little one on the way.
President Donald Trump's Big, Beautiful Bill has already sparked legal actions on both sides of the aisle, and on the pro-gun side, several gun rights groups have already taken action on an important part of Trump's bill.
According to Newsweek, multiple gun rights groups and organizations have filed suit in an attempt to "dismantle what is left of the National Firearms Act (NFA)" after Trump's bill was signed into law.
The president's signature legislation reduced the "NFA's excise tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns and any other weapons."
The gun rights groups argue that the new legislation eliminates the tax and as a result, the NFA should be eliminated.
Plaintiffs in the lawsuit, including Gun Owners of America (GOA) dubbed the lawsuit the "One Big Beautiful Lawsuit" in their efforts to quash what's left of the NFA.
Newsweek noted:
The National Firearms Act was first enacted in 1934 to regulates firearms considered the most dangerous and crack down on gangland crime in the Prohibition era.
The law had imposed a $200 tax on machine guns and shotguns and rifles with barrels shorter than 18 inches, and also required the federal registration of these types of firearms.
The tax on certain weapons has been a point of contention for decades. Trump's bill reduced the tax to $0, and gun rights groups are essentially saying that there's no longer a need for the NFA as a result.
However, the tax still applies to machine guns and explosive devices, but has been eliminated dthe "$200 fee that gun owners are charged when purchasing silencers and short-barreled rifles."
🚨BREAKING🚨
GOA, @GunFoundation, & allies just filed our One Big Beautiful Lawsuit to gut the NFA.

Newsweek added:
The authors of the NFA "left no doubt that the NFA was an exercise of the taxing power, and the Supreme Court upheld it on that basis," says the lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
Users across social media weighed in on the lawsuit.
"Will the case be able to move forward before the $0 tax is in effect in Jan 1st 2025?" one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Y’all know this has to get to SCOTUS before the Democrats increase the tax next time they have a chance? This has to be expedited big time. If they put the tax back it kinda moots the case. I’m not a lawyer so I might be wrong but this is how I understand it."
Only time will tell if the gun rights groups prevail in their efforts.
Even before taking office for his second term, President Donald Trump expressed great optimism about his ability to bring the war between Russia and Ukraine to a conclusion.
However, Trump’s efforts have since been stymied by a lack of cooperation on both sides of the conflict, with his recent, disappointing phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin as evidence of that fact, as the Daily Mail reports.
As part of his ongoing endeavor to bring the longstanding conflict to an end, Trump engaged with Putin over the phone on Thursday, but it seems that things did not end on an encouraging note.
As CBS News explained, Trump admittedly left the call feeling “very disappointed,” noting that he “didn’t make any progress with him” during the chat.
The president attributed the lack of results from his talks with Putin to his assessment that “I don’t think he’s there” in terms of reaching peace with Ukraine.
Characterizing his discussion with Putin as “a pretty long call” that also touched on topics such as Iran, Trump did not attempt to hide his dissatisfaction with the outcome.
“And we also talked about, as you know, the war with Ukraine. And I’m not happy about that. I’m not happy about that.”
A day after the anticlimactic call with Putin, Trump took to the phones once more, this time to engage with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with whom the administration has, at times, had a volatile relationship.
As Newsweek notes, Zelensky reported that the conversation was “very important and useful,” particularly given that it came on the heels of a Trump decision to temporarily halt U.S. arms shipments to his country.
During the call, Zelensky was said to have expressed gratitude for ongoing American support and to press for bolstered cooperation on air defense.
The two leaders also discussed drone technology, weapons production, and mutual investments between their nations, with Zelensky declaring later, “We are ready for direct projects with America,” noting that such endeavors would be “extremely important for security.”
In the aftermath of his talk with Trump, Zelensky said, “This was probably the best conversation in all this time, it was maximally productive.”
During his 2024 presidential bid, Trump expressed confidence that he could successfully mediate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war in short order, but reality has proved far more complicated.
Trump has since said that his pledge to end the conflict within 24 hours of taking office was made “figuratively” and as “an exaggeration,” his recent attempts to engage aggressively with both Putin and Zelensky suggest that he has not yet totally backed away from the role of potential peacemaker when it comes to Russia and Ukraine.
The notoriously tight security provided to American presidents at all times was on full display over the weekend, with military assets deployed in response to an incident that could have potentially posed a threat to the commander in chief.
As Reuters reports, an F-16 fighter jet was scrambled on Saturday to intercept a general aviation plane that ventured into protected airspace over President Donald Trump’s Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club.
As Fox News noted, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) scrambled the jet in response to the presence of the unauthorized civilian aircraft in restricted airspace over the property where the president was spending the remainder of his holiday weekend.
The aircraft at issue entered the restricted zone at around 2:40 p.m., triggering the swift response.
A so-called “headbutt” maneuver was used by the fighter jet to gain the civilian pilot’s attention before the offending aircraft was escorted away from the vicinity of the golf club.
The incident at issue was the fourth violation of airspace restrictions to occur on Saturday, but unfortunately, it wasn’t even the last, with a total of five racked up over the course of the day.
According to Reuters, the White House did not offer any immediate comment on the situation.
In response to the situation, NORAD reminded civilian pilots to “verify all Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) and Fly Informed before making any flight.”
Officials reminded aviators of the availability of updated information about applicable restrictions at https://tfr.faa.gov/.
The agency reiterated its use of “a layered defense network of radars, satellites, and fighter aircraft to identify and respond to potential threats.”
In the agency’s own words, “The identification and monitoring of the civilian aircraft demonstrates how NORAD executes its aerospace warning and control missions for the United States and Canada.”
An X post from the military wing responsible for thwarting such breaches reminded aviators, “These TFRs are in place for a reason. No excuses! Stay sharp, stay legal, and stay out of restricted airspace.”
While it is critical that every president receive the most vigilant and comprehensive protection available, in Trump’s case, the presence of very real threats has been made crystal clear over the past year.
Not only has Trump survived two assassination attempts, as of June, he is also the subject of a new fatwa issued by Iran’s top Shia cleric, who called on “Muslims of the world” to bring about the president’s death, making his protection more critical than ever.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has accused a reporter for the Washington Post of harassing Gabbard and her staff.
On Thursday, Gabbard blasted Washington Post reporter Ellen Nakashima for harassing ODNI staffers by calling high-level staffers with a burner phone and refusing to identify herself repeatedly.
In a post to social media, Gabbard stated, "It has come to my attention that Washington Post reporter @nakashimae appears to be actively harassing ODNI staff. Instead of reaching out to my press office, she is calling high-level Intelligence Officers from a burner phone, refusing to identify herself, lying about the fact that she works for the Washington Post, and then demanding they share sensitive information."
However, the plot quickly thickened as Gabbard revealed that she and her family had been harassed in Hawaii, and Gabbard claims that it was Nakashima who was behind that.
Gabbard continued by saying, "This is a clear political op by the same outlet and the same reporter who harassed and stalked my family in Hawaii. This kind of deranged behavior reflects a media establishment so desperate to sabotage @POTUS’s successful agenda that they’ve abandoned even a facade of journalistic integrity and ethics."
Nakashima has become a notorious name for many as she has been one of the Washington Post's most prolific leftists, who is willing to disregard any kind of journalistic ethics in pushing leftist narratives.
Of course, the Washington Post quickly denied the accusations leveled against Nakashima by saying, "For three decades, Ellen Nakashima has been one of the most careful, fair-minded, and highly regarded reporters covering national security. Reaching out to potential sources rather than relying solely on official government press statements regarding matters of public interest is neither nefarious nor is it harassment. It is basic journalism."
Of course, the behavior described by Gabbard is far from a reporter reaching out to individuals working in government. Gabbard's accusations describe a pattern of harassment, not journalistic investigation.
The Washington Post's statement continued by saying, "DNI Gabbard’s unfounded personal attack reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about the role of journalists to report on government officials and hold power to account, without fear or favor and regardless of party. The Post remains committed to that vital and constitutionally protected work."
It's rich hearing the Washington Post talk about the duty to "hold power to account regardless of party," after years of the Washington Post looking the other way while dysfunction and disaster were the norm under the Biden administration.
Nakashima is going to have to be careful, as leftist journalists will not have carte blanche to engage in unethical behavior without hearing from the Department of Justice.
For years, leftist journalists working for mainstream outlets have enjoyed acting without consequences. With the Trump administration, that is no longer the case as President Trump has made it clear that the mainstream media's typical antics will not be tolerated.
It remains to be seen what kind of criminal case Gabbard could put together against Nakashima, but if accusations of her numerous calls from burner phones and continuous harassment of staffers are true, there is a good chance that the Washington Post might face pressure to get rid of her.
The Trump administration has demonstrated that it is not afraid to use any and all tactics to hit back at the left after years of leftists using underhanded tactics to gain an advantage.
President Donald Trump promised a UFC fight on White House grounds as part of the 250th anniversary of America's independence, the Daily Caller reported. The president said this to a crowd Friday at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Trump was in Des Moines, Iowa, on July 4 to jump-start this year's celebration of America's independence. He took the opportunity to discuss upcoming events for next year's festivities, which will mark a quarter of a millennium for the U.S.
There are many plans already made, but Trump said one of those "special events" would include a UFC fight at the White House. Trump said it would not be ceremonial but rather a "championship fight."
The president laid out his plans to the crowd, whose reaction was a mix of amusement and applause. "So every one of our national parks, battlefields, and historic sites are going to have special events in honor of America 250," Trump said.
"I even think we’re going to have a UFC fight. We’re going to have — does anybody watch UFC? The great Dana White?" Trump said of the CEO. "We’re going to have a UFC fight," Trump continued.
"We’re going to have a UFC fight — think of this — on the grounds of the White House. We have a lot of land there. We’re going to build a little — we’re not — Dana is going to do it," Trump explained.
"Dana is great, one of a kind. We’re going to have a UFC fight, championship fight, full fight, like 20-25,000 people. And we’re going to do that as part of 250 also," the president went on.
"We’re going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events. But the UFC fight is going to be a big deal too," Trump added.
With such a significant milestone for the nation coming up during his term, Trump is eager to commemorate it in a special way. A UFC fight might sound like a joke, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the president is "dead serious" about it.
Not only does the UFC represent a deeply American sport, but Trump also owes a great deal of gratitude to the organization's CEO. White campaigned with Trump during the 2024 presidential election, and Trump has been welcomed by fans at the events.
Crowds greeted Trump with chants of "USA, USA" the few times he's made an appearance at an event. Following his election to a second term in November, Trump appeared at UFC 309, along with popular members of his administration, including Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard.
Joe Rogan, the legendary podcaster hosting the event, was impressed by the reception Trump received. "The sound in this room — it is so loud. It’s always loud when he comes here, but now that he’s won, now that he’s president — oh my God," Rogan said.
If there's anything Trump is uniquely skilled at, it's putting on a show. With Trump in the White House during this momentous anniversary, the celebration of America's 250th birthday promises to be a year-long spectacle worthy of this great nation.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said there is more legislation in the pipeline after President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed this week, Newsmax reported. Johnson stated that additional budget reconciliation bills are expected to be introduced in the fall and spring of next year.
The president's signature legislation passed the House this week after nearly all House Republicans eventually agreed to sign on despite several misgivings about spending. Trump signed the bill into law in a spectacular ceremony on July 4.
Johnson was instrumental in pulling together support for the legislation from Republicans. On Thursday, the House Speaker promised more legislation, including two additional reconciliation bills that will help implement the Trump agenda.
Johnson appeared on Fox News's The Ingraham Angle on Thursday to take a victory lap and share his plans for the future. Speaking to Raymond Arroyo, who was filling in for host Laura Ingraham, Johnson laid out his plans.
"This is the first of a five-step process to get us back to fiscal stability. The reconciliation bill today was a big, giant leap forward," Johnson told Arroyo.
"But we're going to do this again. We're going to have a second reconciliation package in the fall and a third in the spring of next year for the next two fiscal years," Johnson said.
"And we're going to have rescission packages. The White House is sending us collections of items to claw back the spending that was wasted," Johnson promised, keeping in line with Trump's goal of streamlining the federal government.
"And we're going to appropriate at lower levels. The Republican Party is the party to get us back to fiscal responsibility. We can't do it overnight, though. But we are on the right track and the president is committed to it as well," Johnson said.
Trump was likely stunned that Johnson was able to pass this legislation and thanked him and others for their efforts, CNN reported. Trump signed the bill into law with a ceremony that included fireworks and a flyover of B-2 bombers on Independence Day.
"We made promises, and it’s really promises made, promises kept, and we’ve kept them. There’s a triumph of democracy on the birthday of democracy, and I have to say that the people are happy," Trump said from the White House.
Democrats had dug their heels in against this legislation and a few Republicans balked, but Trump promised that they would come to regret that. "We are going to have something where people are going to realize the level of success and popularity of this bill," Trump said.
The bill's signing comes after Trump's successful takedown of Iran's nuclear program as well as several Supreme Court victories. "This had to be the best two weeks. Has anybody ever had a better two weeks?" Trump said at the signing.
Republicans have to prove themselves by the time the 2026 midterms roll around, and it looks like they're on their way. They now have momentum, thanks to Trump's bold moves and Johnson's backing with promises of future legislation.
President Donald Trump revealed his pet name that he uses for his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, during a speech to supporters in Iowa on Thursday.
Trump appeared on stage for jubilant supporters just hours after Congress passed his massive budget bill in what many describe as Trump's greatest triumph, six months into his 2nd term in the White House.
Trump appeared to give his “Salute to America” address in Des Moines on the eve of July 4th, marking the 249th anniversary of the United States's independence from Britain.
The atmosphere was celebratory as Trump celebrated Independence Day while touting his new "One Big, Beautiful, Bill," which promises massive tax cuts and slashes government expenditures that will relieve taxpayer burdens while accomplishing major promises Trump made to supporters.
The event was a moment to remember for those in attendance, and Trump was at his best after what had felt like months of ceaseless battle.
Trump was clearly in a good mood as during his address to supporters, Trump revealed his pet name that he uses for the First Lady.
During the speech, Trump stated, “I remember saying to our great First Lady...” before stopping to point out, “I call her ‘First Lady,’ isn’t it terrible? I’m saying “Good night, First Lady, my darling,’ because it reminds me that I’m president, that’s why. I said ‘First Lady, it’s terrible nobody wants to join our military force."
Trump's cheeky comment generated laughs and no doubt would have drawn a severe look from the Slovenian former supermodel who has won the hearts of thousands of Americans with both her trendsetting fashion and her philanthropic outreach.
Melania Trump has been playing a much more muted role compared to her last time serving as First Lady by keeping a low profile politically, but continuing her extensive outreach and philanthropic endeavors.
Melania Trump's "Be Best" initiative works to promote healthy living with a special emphasis on combating childhood obesity. On Thursday, she met with patients at the Children’s National Hospital in Washington to encourage them and bring a spirit of celebration for the 4th.
Other areas of focus for the "Be Best" campaign involve tackling the dangers of cyberbullying and promoting responsible online behavior, especially for children who are particularly vulnerable in online spaces.
Melania Trump's hard work in these areas has changed lives, and despite the hatred thrown at her by leftist progressives, the First Lady is making history and winning the admiration of many Americans.
Something that has been consistently discussed over the past decade is the marriage of Donald and Melania Trump. Leftists have insisted without evidence for years that their marriage is a sham and that Melania Trump secretly loathes her husband.
This couldn't be further from the truth, as the couple only seems closer, especially since President Trump survived an assassination attempt last year during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump's cheerful and cheeky comment about his relationship with his wife gives Americans an inside look at a healthy, lasting relationship. Melania Trump is the First Lady in all of our hearts, especially her husband's.
In a move aimed at prioritizing domestic access to America’s national parks, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday that will hike entry fees for foreign visitors, the Washington Times reported.
The order, intended to support maintenance and conservation efforts, comes alongside the formation of a federal commission on environmental policy and follows the administration's proposal to cut $1 billion from the National Park Service budget in 2026.
The order did not specify the amount of the fee increase or when the changes would take effect. Currently, entrance fees range from $20 to $35 per vehicle, depending on the park. The change applies only to international tourists visiting federally managed parks.
The White House stated the initiative is designed to make park access more affordable for Americans, who already contribute through federal taxes. Officials described the shift as a matter of fairness and resource prioritization.
Under the order, U.S. citizens will also receive preference in park reservation and permitting systems. No further implementation details have been provided about how this prioritization will work within current systems.
Revenue from the increased fees is expected to total hundreds of millions of dollars. That money will support conservation projects, infrastructure improvements, and the reduction of long-standing maintenance deficits across national parks.
Charging higher fees to foreign tourists is common in other parts of the world, and U.S. officials noted the policy aligns with global standards. They claim it allows taxpayers to enjoy increased benefits from public resources they support financially.
While the policy may help raise funds, it also raises questions about potential declines in international visitation. Critics warn this could affect local economies near major parks, especially those that rely heavily on overseas tourism.
The administration has stated that operational changes from the fee increase will ultimately improve park conditions and visitor experiences, without requiring additional funds from domestic taxpayers.
On the same day, President Trump signed a second executive order establishing the Make America Beautiful Commission. The commission aims to conserve lands and waters, reduce federal regulatory barriers, and stimulate job creation through environmental stewardship.
Interior Secretary Doug Burgum will lead the panel, which will coordinate federal efforts to advance conservation while promoting sustainable growth. The group will also serve as an advisory body for future land management strategies.
The commission is meant to complement the funding changes by ensuring long-term oversight of federal park resources. Officials described it as part of a broader plan to balance environmental and economic priorities.
The executive actions came shortly after the White House proposed a $1 billion cut to the National Park Service budget for 2026. Conservation groups responded swiftly, expressing deep concern about the potential impact of such reductions.
Theresa Pierno, president and CEO of the National Parks Conservation Association, said the cuts could force the closure of more than 75% of all park sites. That could mean as many as 350 sites nationwide losing public access.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris -- also a failed presidential candidate -- didn't have a very good Fourth of July holiday, at least not on the public relations front.
According to the New York Post, the former vice president was slammed across social media for posting what many described as a "gloomy" Independence Day post while also using a photo that clearly had former President Joe Biden cropped out.
The situation shouldn't come as a surprise, as Harris has a tendency to say the wrong thing at the wrong time, and typically went viral for all the wrong reasons while she was vice president and ultimately a presidential candidate.
Her message was especially dark, warning her followers that things would "probably get worse" before they get better, which was an obvious symptom of Trump Derangement Syndrome on the left.
Harris put out the doom and gloom statement on her official X account.
"This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better," Harris wrote.
She added, "But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation."

The New York Post noted:
X users were quick to point out that the image Harris promoted — which showed her and first gentleman Doug Emhoff enjoying an Independence Day fireworks display in July 2024 — was conveniently framed to exclude Biden and first lady Jill.
The picture drew mountains of criticism from both sides of the aisle.
Users across social media were quick to point out that the former president was cropped out of the photo Harris posted on her X account.
The Post noted:
“Kamala cropping Joe out is very symbolic,” noted Link Lauren, a former senior adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign, publishing another shot from the White House balcony that shows the first couple just feet away.
Another X user wrote, "Hahahahahaha. You cropped out Joe and Jill."
Obviously, Harris' social media team hasn't learned much since she's been out of office.
