Trump built his campaign and presidency on the concept of “draining the swamp,” in reference to career politicians in Washington, D.C. During the former president’s interview with Newsmax that aired on Tuesday, host Rob Schmitt acknowledged that many people backed Trump’s mission of fighting the “swamp,” but said the Trump presidency exhausted them because of all of the battles the then-commander-in-chief waged. Trump initially pushed back on the statement, arguing that people are now “more exhausted” with President Joe Biden....

The poll, which was conducted by Monmouth University, found that less than 1 in 5 Americans believe that the U.S. is doing a better job at handling ongoing pandemic, while 52 percent said the U.S. was doing a worse job, and 29 percent said about the same. Monmouth University surveyed 868 U.S. adults from August 6 to August 10 via telephone. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3....

Speaking at the headquarters of U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) on Friday, Trump recalled his decision in April to “begin a surge of military assets in the Western Hemisphere unlike anything seen in recent history.” He touted new, better and additional equipment to fight “the sinister criminal cartels” trying to bring narcotics to the United States. “No adversary can match the awesome power of the American Army, Navy, Air Force Coast Guard and Marines,” the president said....

The president’s schedule for today suggests that he will deliver “remarks at a peaceful protest for law and order” at 2 p.m., confirming the ABC News report yesterday which said Trump was expected to address attendees from a White House balcony. If it goes ahead, it will mark the president’s first in-person event since announcing last Friday that he and the First Lady had both tested positive for COVID-19....

“It’s such an important day for other reasons but I’ll make it an important day for this too. I’d love to have the country opened up and raring to go by Easter,” Trump said. Cases of a new coronavirus that causes COVID-19 have spiked in the United States as more than 46,000 people have tested positive and 593 have died. States across the country have closed essential businesses and advised people to stay home whenever possible to curb the spread of a new coronavirus....

To understand the danger that such a strategy would pose to lasting peace in Afghanistan, one must first understand the past role of CIA in the country. At the onset of the US “war on terror” in 2001, the CIA organized Afghan militias to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda. By 2010, the CIA’s “Afghan Army,” as Bob Woodward called it, had grown to around 3,000 people. Since then, they have at least doubled in size....

The commander and chief called into conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh’s radio show and issued a warning to Iran: “If you f**k around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before.” The obscenity was censored on the delayed radio broadcast, but it was still loud and clear on Limbaugh’s video footage of the program, which has spread wide and far across the internet....

The rest of us have just seen greatness. These dozen men have felt it. The rest of us, even most teammates and friends, have been forced to follow the wonders of Joe Montana from a distance. These dozen men have been close enough to hear them. He has breathed down their shoulder pads. Screamed through their ear holes. Leaned exhaustedly on their hip pads. Dripped blood on their backs....

Speaking on his show on Wednesday night, Carlson said that Zelensky looked like a “strip club manager” and should have been thrown out of Congress. He also questioned why both Republicans and Democratic politicians were supporting the Ukrainians’ fight against Russia by continuing to provide financial support. “Today the president of Ukraine arrived at the White House like the manager of a strip club and started to demand money,” Carlson said....

In a tweet on Thursday morning, BBC Monitoring journalist Francis Scarr called out Carlson over his recent remarks about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Carlson had insulted the way that Zelensky chose to dress when he visited the White House and delivered a congressional address on Wednesday. “Fox News host Tucker Carlson is being showered with praise on Russian state TV today after he criticised of Zelensky’s visit to Washington,” Scarr tweeted....

Carlson made the remarks on the latest edition of his show Tucker Carlson Tonight. The speech introduced a segment about an investigative series that looked into poor living conditions and crimes in Mexico. “Anchor baby” is considered by some to be an offensive term for a person automatically claiming birthright citizenship by being born on U.S. soil to undocumented parents who may benefit from their citizenship. “Under current American law, every person born on our soil automatically becomes a citizen,” said Carlson....

In an extended metaphor, Carlson drew the comparison between COVID-19’s ability to infect with the indignation that spread following Floyd’s death. “We now know that the craziness spreads very much the same way,” he said, “and we’re now living through a pandemic of it,” he added. The city where Floyd died at the hand of police officers in Carlson’s view was “where this outbreak first began. Minneapolis was our Wuhan,” he said....

The Africans were heading to share the points with the Three Lions after Ferjani Sassi’s 35th minute penalty had erased Harry Kane’s opener, however, the Tottenham Hotspur’s man late minute strike condemned them to defeat at the Volgograd Arena. Not minding this setback, the 55-year-old is more than impressed with the impressive display put up by his men against Gareth Southgate’s men. “The Tunisian side has performed very well and we were able to defend for 90 minutes,” Maaloul said during the post-match conference....

On Monday, federal agents carried out a raid on Trump’s home in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of an investigation into the former president’s alleged removal and destruction of classified White House records after he had left office in January 2021. Almost immediately, those close to Trump began laying the groundwork in suggesting that if any potentially damning evidence does emerge, it was the agents who had put it there—a baseless claim with no evidence to support it thus far....

Speaking to Fox Business host Stuart Varney on Monday, Trump said the West Virginia lawmaker was doing the “right thing.” “It’s a very important thing,” the former president said, adding that “otherwise you’re going to be packing the court, you’re going to be doing all sorts of very, very bad things that were unthinkable and were never even brought up during the election.” Trump added, “This is so radical liberal, radical left, Bernie Sanders can’t believe it…....

For Hispanic Americans, a group described as “historically disadvantaged on many fronts,” the study’s data “indicate that in a more hostile political landscape their well-being is even more threatened,” researcher Amy Non said in a Monday press release. Non, an associate professor in UC San Diego’s Department of Anthropology, co-authored the study with Elizabeth Clausing, an assistant professor at the University of Nebraska, and Kimberly D’Anna Hernandez, a psychology professor at Marquette University....

As legal woes continue to pile on the former president, experts say there’s no singular threat that poses the greatest risk. “The investigations and lawsuits Trump is facing represent different threats for him—legally and politically,” Michael McAuliffe, a former federal prosecutor and Florida state attorney, told Newsweek. Of the ongoing probes in New York, Georgia and at the federal level, one investigation is shaping up to be the clearest win for the prosecution, another is likely to be the quickest to indict Trump, and a third could “reverberate across the whole legal and political system,” in McAuliffe’s words....

Trump threatened last week to escalate his long-running trade war with China, which has resulted in 25 percent tariffs on $250 billion of imports. The president said he would impose tariffs on an additional $300 billion of Chinese imports on September 1, initially starting the tariff at 10 percent. He said the tariff rate could rise to 25 percent. The threat, which came amid ongoing trade talks over policy differences between the world’s two largest economies, sent global markets into a tailspin....

“There is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know, that Elijah Cummings has done a terrible job for the people of his district, and of Baltimore itself. Dems always play the race card when they are unable to win with facts. Shame!,” Trump tweeted Sunday afternoon, as the backlash to his comments continued to grow. “If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership,” the president continued in a series of tweets, adding that Cummings’ “‘oversight’ is a joke!...
