✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

Yesterday, President Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Zelensky to the White House for another round of high-stakes talks aimed at ending the war with Russia. While no final deal has been announced yet, Trump signaled that negotiations are moving forward, and even hinted at the possibility of a groundbreaking trilateral summit with himself, Putin, and Zelensky in the near future. Once again, all eyes are on the president as he takes center stage on the world stage, pushing for real peace where others have failed.

At the same time, Trump shook things up at home by revealing he's preparing an executive order to safeguard election integrity by eliminating mail-in voting. Democrats, of course, are already sounding the alarms as they scramble to redraw districts in hopes of shoring up their chances in the midterms. Another remarkable week in Washington with President Trump leading the charge.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🗳️ Trump to Ban Mail-In Ballots and Voting Machines
President Trump announced on Monday that he will sign an executive order outlawing mail-in ballots nationwide and targeting voting machines that leave no paper trail. Trump stated that the voting machines "cost Ten Times more than accurate and sophisticated Watermark Paper" and are "Highly 'Inaccurate,' Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial." The president claimed that the United States is "now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting" and that all others abandoned the practice due to "massive voter fraud." Trump indicated the executive order would help bring honesty to the 2026 Midterm Elections and would be strongly opposed by the Democrats because "they cheat at levels never seen before." Trump said that nixing mail-in balloting is crucial to ensure elections are fair, promising that he and the GOP will fight to restore election integrity.

📊 Trump Approval Rating Surges After Putin Summit
President Trump's voter approval rating surged to 54 percent following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, according to an InsiderAdvantage survey conducted over the weekend. The poll found Trump "now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters" and showed improved numbers among black voters (23.7 percent) and Hispanic voters (47.2 percent), while white voters reached a near-record high approval of 64 percent. Over half of independents (50.4 percent) approve of Trump, along with 92 percent of Republicans and 17.9 percent of Democrats, giving him a net +10 percent approval rating compared to 44 percent disapproval. This represents a significant increase from the publication's July poll, which showed Trump at 50 percent approval with 48 percent disapproving for a net +2 percent rating. Pollster Matt Towery noted that "only the nation's oldest voters disapprove of his job performance" and that "his approval numbers are surging upwards post-summit."

🗺️ Trump Urges Texas to Pass Redistricting Map
Following Texas Democratic lawmakers' return after vacating the state for two weeks, President Trump urged the state legislature to quickly pass a highly controversial redistricting bill, writing "Please pass this Map, ASAP" in a Truth Social post. Trump called the redistricting bill "one of the most popular initiatives I have ever supported" and thanked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, state House Speaker Dustin Burrows and the Texas Legislature for their "GREAT work." The president described the proposal as "ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL CONGRESSIONAL MAP" and noted that he won Texas "BIG three times, including with 6.4 Million Votes in 2024 (by far the most Votes in History!)." The Democratic lawmakers had fled the state to deny the legislature the quorum necessary to pass the Trump-backed redistricting bill, which would potentially give the GOP five additional congressional seats. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has responded by announcing that California will move forward with its own redistricting plans to create up to five more left-leaning congressional districts, vowing to "meet fire with fire" in response to Trump's support for the Texas effort.

⚖️ Bill Barr Testifies Nothing Implicating Trump in Epstein Case
Former Attorney General Bill Barr told House investigators that he never saw anything that could tie President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. Barr testified that "he had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump in any of this" and believed that if there had been anything connecting Trump to the Epstein case, "the Biden administration would probably have leaked it out." The former Trump administration official told investigators he "didn't know anything about a client list" and did not have conversations with Trump about such a list during his tenure as attorney general from February 2019 through December 2020. Barr said he had never seen any information showing Trump was in the files and "would be shocked if there was anything pertaining to President Trump that was negative that the Biden administration wouldn't have leaked out prior to the presidential election." Barr's closed-door deposition represents the first testimony in the House Oversight Committee's bipartisan probe into the federal government's handling of Epstein's case, which also involves subpoenas for other former attorneys general, FBI directors, and former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton.

🔔 Trump Meets Zelensky in White House 🔔

President Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday following a day of intensive peace negotiations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House, arranging a bilateral meeting between the warring presidents. The 40-minute phone call, described as "candid and very constructive" by Putin aide Yury Ushakov, came during breaks between Trump's meetings with European officials who had gathered to advance Ukraine peace efforts. Trump announced on Truth Social that he had begun arrangements for a meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy at a location to be determined, followed by a trilateral meeting where he would serve as mediator.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who has been in office since May, broke with the generally optimistic tone of other European leaders by issuing an impassioned call for an immediate ceasefire before peace negotiations could proceed. Merz stated that he could not imagine the next meeting taking place without a ceasefire and urged leaders to pressure Russia to agree to such terms. Trump responded by rejecting the ceasefire requirement, noting that in six wars he had previously settled, including conflicts lasting 30 and 35 years, no ceasefire was necessary before reaching final peace agreements.

During the bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy, Trump praised America's military technology, particularly highlighting the Patriot missile defense system built by Raytheon. Trump described the Patriots as "literally 100% fool-proof" and compared their hit-to-kill technology to "two bullets hitting each other in the air." The president clarified that his administration's policy focuses on selling military technology to European allies rather than directly financing weapons packages, stating "We're not giving anything now, we're selling weapons."

Zelenskyy thanked Trump for the opportunity to purchase American-made defense equipment and noted that Europe and NATO allies have helped Ukraine cover the costs. The Ukrainian president emphasized that "nobody in Europe has air defense systems like Patriot" and expressed the urgent need for such capabilities. Trump responded by declaring that "we make the best military equipment in the world by far."

In a hot-mic moment captured during preparations for the East Room talks, Trump whispered to French President Emmanuel Macron that Putin wants to make a deal "for me." Trump expressed confidence that Putin wants to find an answer, predicting that within one or two weeks they would know whether the conflict could be resolved. The president characterized both Russia and Ukraine as "willing parties" in the peace process.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, whose nation shares a long border with Russia, declared that more progress had been made in ending the war over the past two weeks than in the previous three and a half years. While European leaders like Macron pushed for a "quadrilateral" meeting format, Trump's approach centers on the planned trilateral structure involving himself, Putin, and Zelenskyy. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are coordinating with Russia and Ukraine on the arrangements.

Trump indicated that security guarantees would be provided by various European countries with coordination from the United States, though he offered limited details on the extent of possible American involvement. Putin reportedly expressed support for direct negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegations, marking a shift from the Kremlin's previous preference to negotiate only through the Trump White House. The breakthrough comes after Trump's meeting with Putin in Alaska, which his envoy described as producing "robust concessions" from the Russian leader.

Zelenskyy described the Washington negotiations as "long and detailed," thanking Trump and other leaders for their efforts to bring peace to Ukraine. The Ukrainian president noted that significant attention was given to the return of Ukrainian children and the release of prisoners of war and civilians held by Russia. Trump's call to Putin mirrored his decision to contact Zelenskyy following the Alaska summit, maintaining his direct diplomatic approach to both parties in the conflict.

🕊️ President Trump declared on Truth Social that remaining Israeli hostages will only be returned when Hamas is "confronted and destroyed," claiming he previously negotiated the release of hundreds of hostages and ended six wars in six months. Trump's statement came as Hamas reportedly accepted a new ceasefire proposal from Arab mediators that would still require Israel's approval, with Egyptian and Qatari mediators securing what a diplomat described as a breakthrough preserving 98% of the previous Witkoff proposal. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said Hamas is under "enormous pressure" and announced plans to reoccupy Gaza City while vowing to continue the war until all hostages return and Hamas is disarmed.

💪 Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth competed in the "Pete and Bobby challenge" at the Pentagon, attempting to complete 50 pullups and 100 pushups in under five minutes as part of promoting American fitness. Hegseth finished just over five minutes at 5:25 while Kennedy, who is 71 years old, finished shortly behind him, with both noting that several Marines beat the challenge in under four and three minutes respectively. The competition represents the Trump administration's "Make America Healthy Again" movement, with Kennedy promoting whole foods over processed meals and Hegseth pushing military fitness standards, while they challenged Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to join their next competition.

⚖️ Nathalie Rose Jones, 50, of Lafayette, Indiana faces federal charges for threatening President Trump on social media, including an August 6 Facebook post stating she was "willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea." Jones made multiple threatening posts between August 2-15 calling Trump a terrorist and requesting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth arrange Trump's arrest, while also attending a protest around the White House complex on August 16. During Secret Service interviews, Jones admitted to the threats and said she would kill Trump at "the compound" using a "bladed object" to "avenge all the lives lost during the Covid-19 pandemic," which she blamed on the Trump administration.

📺 President Trump posted on Truth Social that MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace would "be fired soon," calling her a "loser" with "bad ratings" who was "already thrown off of The View" and declaring "MSNBC IS DEAD." Trump's attack came after Wallace's profanity-laced on-air rant about his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where she said Trump "doesn't give a s--- about democracy" and made suggestive comments about Trump's body language with Putin. The post coincided with The Wall Street Journal reporting that MSNBC will change its name to "My Source News Opinion World" or "MS NOW" as part of Comcast's spinoff from NBC Universal.
