✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

Hey Team! 😎

President Trump is working overtime to get our country back on track. His "Big Beautiful Bill" just cleared a major hurdle in the House, proving once again that he's the only one serious about fixing the economy.

As Biden faces backlash over his embarrassing Hur tape release, Trump continues to lead with strength and vision. He's even preparing to speak directly with Putin to bring an end to the war in Ukraine - something Biden could never pull off. Despite relentless opposition, President Trump remains committed to delivering on his promises, ensuring that the American people's interests are always prioritized.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🔍 Trump Admin to Begin Biden Investigation After Hur Tape Release
Newly released audio from former Special Counsel Robert Hur's 2023 interviews with former President Joe Biden, obtained by Axios, reveals memory lapses alongside detailed recollections, intensifying Republican scrutiny of Biden's mental fitness during his final months in office. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has launched an investigation into whether Biden's administration used an autopen to sign documents, including controversial last-minute pardons like one for Hunter Biden, to uncover who controlled key decisions. House Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans are demanding further probes, arguing the tapes and pardons suggest Biden was unfit to lead and that his administration concealed this reality.

🤝 Trump Announces Direct Talks with Putin
President Trump, in a Fox News interview with Bret Baier, deflected questions about pressuring Russian President Putin to end the Ukraine war, instead criticizing Ukrainian President Zelensky for allegedly mismanaging billions in U.S. aid. Trump expressed frustration with stalled peace talks, announcing plans to personally call Putin, Zelensky, and NATO members on Monday, to push for a ceasefire, following Putin's refusal to attend proposed talks in Turkey. The situation remains tense, with Vice President JD Vance warning that Russia is demanding too much, highlighting the challenges Trump faces in brokering peace. For conservatives, Trump's direct approach signals a commitment to ending wasteful spending and achieving a deal that prioritizes American interests.

🛒 Trump Calls Out Walmart Over Price Hike
President Trump sharply criticized Walmart on Truth Social for planning to raise prices due to his administration's tariffs, insisting the retailer should "eat the tariffs" and absorb the costs instead of passing them on to consumers. Walmart CEO Doug McMillon had warned that the tariffs, including a 30% levy on Chinese imports and up to 25% on Canada and Mexico, would force price hikes on goods like bananas and car seats. Trump argued that Walmart, having made billions in profits, could afford to maintain low prices to support his economic agenda aimed at boosting domestic manufacturing. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent acknowledged some price increases might occur but suggested Walmart could mitigate them, while Trump vowed to closely monitor the retailer's actions.

📺 Trump Warns ABC News over Jet Coverage
President Trump threatened legal action against ABC News over its coverage of a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet gifted by Qatar's royal family to the U.S. Defense Department. In a Truth Social post, Trump accused the network of falsely claiming the plane was a personal gift to him, emphasizing that Qatar's investment of over $1.4 trillion in the U.S. deserved better treatment. The controversy arose during Trump's Middle East trip, where he visited Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Trump directed his warning at Disney CEO Bob Iger, citing a previous $16 million defamation victory against ABC.

🔔 Trump's Big Beautiful Bill Advances 🔔

President Donald Trump's comprehensive budget legislation, a cornerstone of his economic agenda, has made significant strides in Congress as of May 2025, despite facing intense opposition and internal party friction. The bill, designed to overhaul fiscal policy and prioritize economic growth, recently cleared a crucial House Budget Committee vote after days of heated negotiations.

Republican leaders worked tirelessly to unify their party, overcoming resistance from a small but vocal group of conservatives wary of certain provisions, particularly those tied to healthcare funding and energy policy. This victory marks a critical step toward delivering on Trump's promise of a robust, America-first economic framework, though the path ahead remains complex given the party's narrow House majority.

The journey to this point has been anything but smooth. An earlier attempt to advance the legislation faltered when a handful of Republican holdouts blocked its progress in the same committee, citing concerns over proposed spending reductions that could impact key voter groups.

The House Ways and Means Committee, under Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri, has been at the heart of efforts to refine the bill, balancing the need for fiscal discipline with the political realities of maintaining broad support. These negotiations have focused on ensuring the legislation aligns with conservative principles while addressing the practical concerns of lawmakers who fear backlash from constituents over potential policy shifts.

A major issue surrounding the bill is its implications for healthcare access. A recent White House analysis estimates that failure to pass the legislation could leave between 8.2 and 9.2 million Americans without health insurance, especially if the economy faces a severe downturn. This projection has sparked fierce debate, with Democrats accusing Republicans of undermining Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the affluent.

Republicans, however, argue that the bill's reforms are essential for streamlining healthcare systems and ensuring long-term sustainability, protecting both taxpayers and those reliant on public programs. Rep. Brett Guthrie of Kentucky has dismissed Democratic critiques as fearmongering, emphasizing that the legislation prioritizes economic stability and opportunity for all Americans.

As the bill moves forward, Republican leaders are focused on maintaining party unity to secure passage in the full House and prepare for a challenging Senate review. Speaker Mike Johnson has been instrumental in these efforts, engaging directly with dissenting members to address their concerns and keep the legislation on track.

The outcome of these negotiations will determine whether Trump's vision for a revitalized economy can be realized or if it will be stalled by internal divisions and partisan gridlock. For conservatives, this bill represents a critical opportunity to enact bold, principled reforms that put America first, and its success will send a powerful message about the strength and resolve of the Republican agenda.

📚 A new book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, details former President Joe Biden's significant health and cognitive decline during his final year in office, alleging his aides concealed the extent of his frailty.
