What Did Melania Trump Say About Taylor Swift Amid Donald Trump's Comment?
Read on to know more.
While visiting children at a Washington, D.C., hospital ahead of the Fourth of July, Melania Trump offered kind words about pop star Taylor Swift. This notable shift comes amid Donald Trump's recent criticism of the singer.
During an arts and crafts session at Children's National Hospital, Melania was chatting with a group of young patients when one child excitedly named Swift as their favorite singer. The First Lady responded warmly, calling Swift 'very talented.' This comment comes just weeks after the American President posted on Truth Social, 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?''
Following her exchange with the kids, Melania spent time helping them decorate patriotic crafts in celebration of Independence Day. She brought along teddy bears and other small gifts, greeting the young patients by saying, 'Everybody gets a teddy bear — and more stuff, too.' When she asked if they knew why they were celebrating the next day, one child quickly replied, 'Independence Day!' (via New York Post)
Melania encouraged the kids with promises of a big White House party and even invited them to visit the next year when they felt better. She said, 'It's a very special day. So we will have a big party at the White House… When you feel better, maybe next year, you come over and we'll celebrate together.'
When another child mentioned that they liked Sabrina Carpenter, the First Lady replied, 'She's great too.' To wrap up the visit, she helped the children plant a new yellow tea rose called 'Eternal Flame' in the garden beds. 'It's beautiful here,' she said, admiring the setup.

Elon Musk Is Selling His Political Party Like a Tesla
Less than 24 hours after launching his political party, Elon Musk is already playing hype man for the movement he claims will disrupt America's broken political system. The richest man in the world took to X (formerly Twitter), the platform he owns, early Saturday morning to promote and to articulate the need for The American Party, his newly announced third party aimed at breaking what he calls the 'uniparty' stranglehold of Democrats and Republicans. The move has drawn sharp criticism from supporters of President Donald Trump and the core of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. As of now, Trump has not responded. 'The people want change,' Musk wrote in response to a user who referenced Ross Perot's 1992 presidential run, which despite ending early, still earned nearly 19% of the vote. 'If you keep voting out of fear, we will keep seeing the result of that. Our government won't change if we don't change our thinking,' the user said. The people want change — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025That's the sentiment Musk is banking on. He's now channeling that energy into his own populist rebellion, but with a billionaire's budget and a full social media machine behind it. Musk's posts made clear he's still fuming over what he sees as fiscal irresponsibility from both parties, but especially from President Donald Trump and the Republicans. That betrayal, he says, is what finally pushed him to walk away. 'The Republican Party has a clean sweep of the executive, legislative and judicial branches and STILL had the nerve to massively increase the size of government,' Musk posted, referencing Trump's recently signed 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' a sprawling budget and tax plan projected to balloon the national deficit. 'Expanding the national debt by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS,' Musk added. The Republican Party has a clean sweep of the executive, legislative and judicial branches and STILL had the nerve to massively increase the size of government, expanding the national debt by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS … — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025When asked directly what triggered his break from Trump, Musk didn't mince words: 'Increasing the deficit from an already insane $2T under Biden to $2.5T. This will bankrupt the country.' Increasing the deficit from an already insane $2T under Biden to $2.5T. This will bankrupt the country. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 5, 2025This marks a stunning reversal for Musk, who donated close to $290 million to support Trump's re-election campaign and served as head of the controversial Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Once a star player in the MAGA orbit, Musk now positions himself as its biggest defector. Though most of the backlash to The American Party has come from MAGA loyalists, Musk says his movement isn't just for disaffected Republicans. Responding to a user who suggested that the party could 'soak up a lot of the existing Dem base that feels politically homeless / hate extremism,' Musk replied with a simple: '💯'. 💯 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025He's pitching the party as a safe haven for political moderates who've grown frustrated with both the far-right and the far-left. And he's doing it with all the energy of a product launch. In true Musk fashion, he didn't stop at political philosophy. He started planning the party's first big event. 'When and where should we hold the inaugural American Party congress?' he asked his 222 million followers. 'This will be super fun!' When & where should we hold the inaugural American Party congress? This will be super fun! — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025His chatbot Grok, developed by his AI company xAI, suggested Austin, Texas—Musk's adopted hometown—as the ideal location. Musk responded, 'Good suggestion,' all but confirming that Austin may host the kickoff rally. Good suggestion — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 6, 2025Several pro-Musk accounts spread news that The American Party will run candidates in the 2026 midterms. While Musk hasn't confirmed names or races, he has hinted that the focus will be surgical: just a handful of high-impact congressional and Senate contests, enough to sway legislation and send a message. It's unclear who will carry The American Party's banner, or whether it will make any real impact on a deeply entrenched political system. But what is clear is this: Elon Musk has the platform, the followers, and the money—$361 billion, according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index—to make noise. Whether it's political theater or the beginning of a real movement, Musk is once again putting himself at the center of America's biggest cultural flashpoints.

Bill Belichick's Age-Gap Romance With Jordon Hudson Is Turning Into a 'PR Nightmare' at His New Job
Jordon Hudson can't seem to stay out of the headlines even though she's not the one who was hired by University of North Carolina (UNC) to coach their football team. That job is reserved for her boyfriend, former NFL coach Bill Belichick, who just happens to be 48 years older than her. The 24-year-old beauty queen seems to have a knack for drawing controversy and is now being described as a 'public relations nightmare' for the 73-year-old coach. More from SheKnows Mila Kunis & Ashton Kutcher's Romantic Getaway Sends a Message After Public Backlash The backlash at UNC is being felt across the board as the school is being pressured to let Belichick go by alumni donors and faculty members. The Daily Mail obtained emails via a public records request, and the messages are quite pointed. One donor wrote angrily, 'What a total embarrassment to UNC. I am withdrawing all my donations and future donations.' Another email from faculty member Christopher McLaughlin, a professor of Public Law and Government, to UNC Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham, argued about the unwanted attention Hudson was drawing to the program. 'When you agreed to pay a king's ransom to hire Bill Belichick, did you also know that you [were] hiring Jordon Hudson to serve as the primary face of [UNC] athletics? Normally, I would say the University should not concern itself with its employees' personal lives,' McLaughlin wrote. 'But when a prominent employee injects his significant other into the University's affairs, it becomes the University's concern. The staff member went on to describe Hudson as 'an embarrassment' while begging the school's athletic director to 'please end this circus before the season begins.' Hudson also became a hot topic in April when she interrupted Belichick's CBS Sunday Morning interview with Tony Dokoupil. 'We're not talking about this,' she said from off-camera when the reporter asked her boyfriend about their romantic origin story. Their ties are both personal and professional because Hudson is listed as the Chief Operating Officer of Belichick Productions and CEO & Founder of Trouble Cub Enterprises, per LinkedIn, and not everyone likes that. 'I think it's ironic that a man who really controlled everything — and I mean everything — now is being controlled by some other person,' said Upton Bell, a former general manager of the Patriots, told The New York Times on May 20. 'You can't just point at the woman here and say, 'She is being controlling. That only happens if you let yourself be controlled.' UNC's first football game of the season is Sept. 1, and Hudson is expected to be rooting for Belichick from the of SheKnows Amber Heard's Entire Dating History: Johnny Depp, Elon Musk, & More 11 of Prince William & Kate Middleton's Biggest Relationship Controversies 13 Celebrities Who Secretly Welcomed Children During Affairs

Red state now offers preferred parking for pregnant women
Florida is days into allowing pregnant women to apply for an "expectant mother parking permit" and the reactions are mixed. The law went into effect on July 1, and allows pregnant women to use accessible parking spaces for up to one year after the date of issuance. "Having been pregnant myself in the Florida heat, it is hard to struggle across a big parking lot when you are nine months pregnant, especially if you have other kids, and you are dragging gear to park all the way in the back of the parking lot and walk past those empty handicap spots," State Rep. Fiona McFarland told FOX 13 Tampa Bay Women who do plan to apply for and use a temporary placard must pay a one-time fee of $15. "You've got enough on your plate—make parking easier." a Facebook post by Bay County tax Collector Chuck Perdue on June 30 said. Social media responses are coming in from both sympathizers and those in opposition. "Friend we don't have to waddle so far," one woman said while tagging another Facebook user. Meanwhile, on the Seminole County Tax Collector's post about the temporary permits, someone said, "Seriously? Pregnancy is not a disability!" In Florida, tax collectors are authorized agents for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, which allows people to conduct motor vehicle division services in the tax collector's offices. "I've been really healthy, so I think it's important to try and walk and do the best you can to stay active, if you can," expectant mother Danielle Marple told FOX 13. "I'm glad that there are people who, if they need the assistance, they can have it, but I certainly hope it's just not abused and that the people who have the disabilities or need the help are able to get it," she said.
