Trump's Second Term

Trump says Supreme Court loss on birthright citizenship ‘too bad,’ calls on Congress to act [The Hill]

The Hill said:
June 30: Trump suggested that he would use Congress to end birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court ruled against his order to restrict the policy. On Truth Social he wrote:"The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process. No long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship. They will have my Complete and Total Support! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The administration is pushing conservative Christian values in healthcare to the detriment of women and LGTBQ+ people.

The Guardian said:
June 30: The Trump administration is moving religious freedom to the forefront of its health policies, a move that will likely affect reproductive health, LGBTQ+ healthcare and vaccine policy. “They are very much putting religious freedom front and center,” said Dorit Reiss, a professor at UC Law San Francisco. But “it tends to privilege a conservative form of Christianity and, for example, protect discrimination against LGBTQ people”.

Fact-Checking Trump’s Inaccurate Accounts of U.S. History [New York Times - paywalled]

New York Times said:
July 1: By President Trump’s account, his desire to annex Greenland merely restores prewar borders, his trade policy returns Gilded Age fiscal policy and prosperity and his efforts to build a towering arch in Washington completes a 150-year-old architectural dream. Since retaking office, Mr. Trump has spun many historical yarns that stretch the truth, strain credulity or are downright false. American history has become a mirror for his preferred policies and a mine for his favored narratives.

Perhaps that's because he's had nothing to do with running them:
TRUMP: I don't do anything having to do with my business. My kids run it. I have a lot of money. I made a tremendous amount of money. I let people invest it. I don't even know who they are
 
Mr 10%

Trump: "Intel came in. They had a problem. I said, 'I can solve your problem, but I want 10% of the company' ... somebody said that's not very American. I said, 'No, I think it's very American, actually.' And I've done that with other deals."
