Trump fields question about his timeline for judicial nominations: 'We're putting 'em in rapidly'
Responding to a question from the Daily Signal about his timeline and criteria for making future judicial nominations, President Donald Trump said, "we're putting 'em in rapidly," and seeking to "get very good ones."
Trump suggested there are "radicalized" and "crazy" judges who want a trial for each illegal immigrant who enters the U.S.
The nation needs judges who will not demand a trial "for every single illegal immigrant," he indicated. "We have millions of people that have come in here illegally, and we can't have a trial for every single person, that would be millions of trials."

Asked how he will ensure the judges he taps will be different, the president said, "All you can do is do the best you can."
The president — whose second-term agenda has been stymied by judicial roadblocks this year — announced the nomination of Whitney Hermandorfer for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit last week.

"Can it be so that Judges aren't allowing the USA to Deport Criminals, including Murderers, out of our Country and back to where they came from? If this is so, our Country, as we know it, is finished! Americans will have to get used to a very different, crime filled, LIFE. This is not what our Founders had in mind!!!"

Trump Says ‘Mr Japan' Unfair on Cars, Floats Keeping 25% Tariff
(Bloomberg) -- US President Donald Trump floated the idea of keeping 25% tariffs on Japan's cars as talks between the two nations continued with little more than a week to go before a slew of higher duties are set to kick in if a trade deal isn't reached. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown '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. 'Now, we have oil. They could take a lot of oil. They could take a lot of other things,' he said, referring to ways Japan might reduce the US trade deficit. The comments show that the two sides still remain some distance from an agreement and highlight the risk that Trump may stick with the 25% tariff on autos. The interview came out after another round of talks between Tokyo's top trade negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Akazawa flew across the world to hold face-to-face talks in Washington, and while they initially met in person, two subsequent discussions took place on the phone. Akazawa couldn't meet US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent this time even after he extended his visit by a day. Following the airing of Trump's interview, which was taped Friday, Akazawa took to social media to reiterate that the bilateral talks are ongoing. 'Japan-US negotiations are at a critical stage, and we will continue to engage in sincere and earnest discussions,' he said in a post on X. Both sides agreed to continue talks this week after the Trump interview took place on Friday, he added. Auto-related stocks on the Topix fell 1.1% in Tokyo on Monday, compared with a 0.4% gain in the overall index. The duty on the car sector has emerged as one of the key sticking points in the talks. Washington is focusing on its large deficit in the sector while Tokyo is trying to protect a key pillar of its economy. In 2024, Japan's trade surplus with the US stood at ¥8.6 trillion ($59.3 billion). Roughly 82% of the gap was due to Japan's surplus in cars and auto parts. US statistics show that the deficit with Japan is the seventh largest among Washington's individual trading partners. Akazawa has repeatedly said that the US's car tariffs are unacceptable, saying that Japan's auto industry has made an enormous contribution to the US economy through the investment of more than $60 billion and the creation of 2.3 million local jobs. Japan has insisted on keeping the sectoral tariffs on cars and other items included in the talks on the wider country-specific levies that are due to go up on July 9. Upon his return to Tokyo on Monday, Akazawa reiterated that stance while saying the deadline is a milestone in the talks. 'It's a huge blow to us that the auto sector remains subject to the 25% tariff,' Akazawa said. 'Taking this into account, we aim to continue vigorous discussions toward an overall agreement.' Statements released by the Japanese government over the weekend said Akazawa and Lutnick had 'fruitful' discussions and agreed to continue seeking a deal that is beneficial for both the US and Japan. The statements did not touch on what was discussed or what progress was made. The 25% US tariff is already in place on cars and auto parts, along with a 50% duty on steel and aluminum. The separate across-the-board tariffs, now at 10%, will jump to 24% if no deal is reached in time. Without a breakthrough in the negotiations, Japan's economy could be pushed into a technical recession after it shrank in the first quarter. Trump's statements in the interview gave no impression that Japan was any closer to reaching a deal or winning an extended reprieve on the reciprocal tariffs. Instead, Trump flagged that the US can set its trade terms with Japan unilaterally. 'I'm going to send letters,' Trump said in the interview, referring to a plan to inform some trading partners that the US will unilaterally set tariffs. 'I could send one to Japan. 'Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25% tariff on your cars.'' --With assistance from Yoshiaki Nohara, Yasufumi Saito, Mari Kiyohara and Akemi Terukina.

Tariff Bullying Is Working Too Well in Europe
Donald Trump's April tariff barrage felt like the height of hubris. It infuriated allies, damaged his popularity at home and triggered financial-market chaos so acute the whole thing was paused within days — the latest sign of America's Icarus-like tendency to try to remake the world every few decades. Yet three months on, as the deadline for a compromise looms, Europe's own syndrome risks emerging: a tendency to look more like a collection of Asterix villages than a cohesive whole. It's now looking increasingly likely that the European Union's 27 members, whose common trade policy is led by Brussels, will be faced with what is called an 'asymmetric' deal. There will be no removal of all tariffs imposed or threatened by Trump, including a baseline levy expected at 10%. If that's the case, the UK's bare-bones deal — which failed to cancel its own 10% tariff or a 25% levy on steel and aluminum — has become a kind of precedent: a few carve-outs, a gushing tweet and hope that Trump moves on. Canada has also become a precedent, withdrawing its digital services tax on tech companies after the US made it a red line for talks. Financial markets see cause for cheer as a de-escalation path takes form.

University of Miami Student Makes Opinion On Kai Trump Very Clear
University of Miami Student Makes Opinion On Kai Trump Very Clear originally appeared on The Spun. A University of Miami student has made his opinion on Kai Trump, an incoming Hurricanes golfer, very clear. Kai Trump, the granddaughter of President Donald J. Trump, announced her commitment to the University of Miami last year. "I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Miami. I would like to thank my mom, Vanessa, and my dad, Don, for always supporting me through my journey. I would also like to thank my great team for getting me to this point. I would like to thank my Grandpa for giving me access to great courses and tremendous support," she announced in August of 2024. "I would also like to thank my Mormor for always believing in me. I would also like to thank my entire family for always encouraging and pushing me to be the best person I can possibly be. I would like to thank my friends for always cheering me on. Last but not least I would love to thank Coach Janice and Coach Jim for giving me this opportunity. I am supper excited to be a cane and represent the University of Miami. Gooo Canes!" Kai Trump has since been blowing up on social media, with millions of followers across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. A University of Miami student has made it clear that the school needs to do its best to protect Kai Trump and let her be a normal student. "The UM community must do its part to let Kai Trump be a student, allowing her to attend class and experience a normal college life. The disturbing incident reflects an unfortunate trend in which the families of presidents become targets of public scrutiny, stalking or worse," an op-ed in The Miami Hurricane reads. "It's important to remember that we are all human. People like Kai, and other political relatives deserve the same respect, privacy and security as everyone else." It seems like Kai Trump will have the support of her classmates at Miami beginning next fall.
