Donald Trump Threatens To Revoke Rosie O'Donnell's Citizenship
The president posted on Truth Social, 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship. She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!'

The president cannot revoke the citizenship of someone born in the U.S., many legal scholars note. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says, 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.'
O'Donnell is a longtime Trump nemesis. She moved her family to Ireland earlier this year, saying in a TikTok video that 'when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.'
O'Donnell has continued to be critical of Trump on TikTok and other social media, posting earlier this week that Trump 'has put this country in danger' with his 'horrible decisions.' She said that the cuts to the National Weather Service to the deaths in the flash floods in Texas. 'These are the results that we are going to see on a daily basis,' she said.
Trump has sought to end the practice of 'birthright' citizenship via executive order. That has been challenged in the courts, and this past week a judge blocked Trump's effort.

Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Shinichi Uchida indicated there's little immediate need to raise the benchmark interest rate in a speech delivered shortly after US President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan. 'Under the premise that the outlook for economic activity and prices comes with uncertainty, the bank needs to adjust monetary policy to best balance the upside and downside risks from the perspective of maintaining stability in economic activity and prices,' Uchida said Wednesday in remarks to local business leaders in Kochi, southwestern Japan.

Trump sets 15% tariff on Japanese imports as part of investment agreement

Photo by Yuri Gripas/UPI | License Photo July 22 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his administration has reached a trade deal with Japan that will impose a 15% tariff rate on the large U.S.-trading partner, instead of the higher levy Trump threatened earlier. The announcement came in a Truth Social post a week before an Aug. 1 deadline imposed by Trump on 14 countries to reach trade agreements with the United States in order to avoid tariffs of at least 25% on most imported goods. Suggesting it was "the largest Deal ever made," Trump claimed that Japan will invest $550 billion in the United States under the president's direction that will create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Additionally, Trump said Japan agreed to "open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things." "This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan," Trump said. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had not issued a statement on the deal as of Tuesday evening. While Japan avoided the higher tariffs with the deal, the new 15% levy is a steep increase from its previous single-digit rates on imports to the United States. The prospects of 25% tariffs on imports to the United States rankled Japanese officials, and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick previously warned that the Aug. 1 deadline was firm. Trump announced earlier on Tuesday that the Philippines had reached a deal for 19% tariffs after a White House meeting with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. A week earlier, Trump announced a similar deal with Indonesia.
