Trump's nephew warns of dementia signs in the president: ‘I know the warning signs…'
In a stunning revelation, Fred Trump III, nephew of Donald Trump and son of Fred Trump Jr., has raised grave concerns about his uncle's mental health, citing a troubling history of dementia in the Trump family. He recently authored All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, a revealing memoir that delves into the complex dynamics, conflicts, and legacy of the Trump family.

During a candid interview on SiriusXM's The Dean Obeidallah Show last Friday, Fred Trump III voiced his growing concerns about the current president's mental fitness, suggesting he's observed troubling similarities to earlier family cases. He recalled that their grandfather, also the father of the president, suffered from Alzheimer's disease for eight years before he died in 1999. Fred emphasized that dementia has left a deep mark on their family and said recent signs in his uncle's behavior have stirred unease.
Trump's nephew also drew parallels between the president's recent behavior and that of other relatives who battled dementia, including their cousin John Walters. He did not mince his words as he said, 'You know, Donald said, 'Oh, my father was tiptop until the end.' I can assure you, that was not the case. I know what I saw in my grandfather,' as reported by the Irish Star.
He continued, 'I know what I saw in Donald's older sister, my aunt Maryanne, who in the end ... I am not a doctor, I don't pretend to be. I just, I know the warning signs from both of my grandfathers." Fred added, 'But the things he's spewing and the craziness, and he just can't stick to a message. And he used to be able to stick to a message." His sister, Mary Trump, has also penned books on similar topics.

The irony of Fred's remarks is underscored by the fact that Trump himself made cognitive fitness a central line of attack during his campaign against President Joe Biden, frequently accusing his opponent of mental decline. While polling consistently showed that voters were concerned about Biden's acuity, those same concerns have increasingly been mirrored in public discussions about Trump's own cognitive state, now amplified by members of his own family.

Trump calls US-Japan car trade unfair as tariff deadline draws closer
US President Donald Trump characterised trade in cars between the US and Japan as unfair on Sunday, little more than a week before higher tariffs are set to kick in if a deal isn't reached between the two nations. 'So we give Japan no cars. They won't take our cars, right? And yet we take millions and millions of their cars into the United States. It's not fair,' Trump said during a Fox News interview that aired Sunday. 'And I explained that to Japan. And they understand it. And we have a big deficit with Japan. And they understand that too,' he said in remarks. 'Now, we have oil. They could take a lot of oil. They could take a lot of other things,' he added. In a statement released by the Japanese government Sunday, Akazawa and his counterpart, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had a 'fruitful discussion' and agreed to continue seeking a deal that is beneficial for both the US and Japan. It was unclear from Trump's statements in the interview whether Japan was close to reaching a deal or winning an extended reprieve from a jump in the across-the-board tariffs.

LIVE news updates: Debate underway in Senate on Trump's big bill; overnight voting delayed
Latest news updates: The Senate is engaged in an overnight session Sunday, as Republicans push President Donald Trump's major tax cut and spending reduction bill through despite strong Democratic resistance and some hesitation from Trump himself over the proposed budget cuts. The final result of the Senate's weekend efforts remains unpredictable. GOP leaders are scrambling to meet Trump's July 4 deadline to pass the legislation, managing only a narrow procedural win in a tense vote the day prior. Several Republican senators initially opposed the measure, requiring intervention through calls from Trump and a personal visit from Vice President J D Vance to maintain momentum. President Droupadi Murmu will serve as the chief guest at the Indian Veterinary Research Institute's convocation ceremony, taking place Monday at Swami Vivekananda Auditorium, according to an official announcement. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, two governors, and two Union ministers are also expected to be present. Upon her arrival from Delhi, President Murmu will be formally received by Chief Minister Adityanath and Governor Anandiben Patel, said IVRI Director Triveni Dutt. Located in Izatnagar, Bareilly, the ICAR-Indian Veterinary Research Institute focuses on research and development in veterinary and animal sciences. In a northern Idaho mountain town on Sunday, a sniper opened fire on firefighters responding to a blaze, killing at least two people and sustaining gunfire for hours in what the governor described as a brutal attack. The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office reported that emergency crews arrived at the Canfield Mountain fire near Coeur d'Alene around 1:30 pm local time, with gunshots erupting approximately 30 minutes later.

A week into the fragile Israel-Iran peace agreement, here's what we still don't know
DUBAI: It's been a week since the United States pressed Israel and Iran into a truce, ending a bloody, 12-day conflict that had set the Middle East and globe on edge. The fragile peace, brokered by the U.S. the day after it dropped 30,000-pound "bunker-busting" bombs on three of Iran's key nuclear sites, is holding. But much remains unsettled. How badly Iran's nuclear program was set back remains murky. The prospects of renewed U.S.-Iran peace talks are up in the air. And whether U.S. President Donald Trump can leverage the moment to get Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's government and Hamas focused on a ceasefire and hostage deal that brings about an end to the 20-month war in Gaza remains an open question. Here is a look at what we still don't know: How far Iran's nuclear program has been set back Trump says three targets hit by American strikes were 'obliterated.' His defense secretary said they were 'destroyed.' A preliminary report issued by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, meanwhile, said the strikes did significant damage to the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan sites, but did not totally destroy the facilities. Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on CBS' 'Face the Nation' on Sunday that the three Iranian sites with 'capabilities in terms of treatment, conversion and enrichment of uranium have been destroyed to an important degree.' But, he added, 'some is still standing' and that because capabilities remain, 'if they so wish, they will be able to start doing this again.' He said assessing the full damage comes down to Iran allowing inspectors access. What future US-Iran relations might look like After the ceasefire deal came together, Trump spoke of potentially easing decades of biting sanctions on Tehran and predicted that Iran could become a 'great trading nation' if it pulled back once-and-for-all from its nuclear program. The talk of harmony didn't last long. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his first public appearance after the ceasefire was announced, claimed Tehran had delivered a 'slap to America's face." Trump responded by suggesting the supreme leader own up to the fact Iran 'got beat to hell. The president also said he was backing off reviewing any immediate sanction relief, because of Khamenei's heated comments. White House officials say the U.S. and Iran are already in early discussions about resuming negotiations that had ended after Israel began launching strikes. But Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says there's no agreement in place to restart talks. It's unclear if Iran's leadership is ready to come to the table so soon after the fighting has ended — especially if Trump holds to the position that Iran must give up nuclear enrichment for even civilian use. And Trump has offered conflicting statements about his commitment to talks. 'We may sign an agreement,' he said Wednesday at a NATO summit press conference. He added, 'I don't think it's that necessary.'
