April 14, 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump met Monday, with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office of the White House. They discussed a range of bilateral issues, including the detention of criminal alien Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was deported to a prison in his home country El Salvador.

President Bukele, known for his tough-on-crime policies, said he does not have the power to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S., referring to him as a "terrorist" and stating that he would not smuggle him back into the U.S. The president also said he would not release him into the country.

Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were also present at the Oval Office meeting.

As discredited far-left CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins tried to get in a remark during the meeting, Trump obliged and said he wanted to hear a question from the "very low-rated anchor."

Collins asked Trump if he would ask Bukele to assist in bringing back Abrego Garcia.

Trump directed Bondi to answer Collins, who said Abrego Garcia was illegally in the country and had previously been ruled by immigration courts to be a member of transnational terrorist group MS-13. It was "up to El Salvador" if it wanted to return him, she said. She added that if El Salvador wanted to return Abrego Garcia, the U.S. would facilitate it by providing a plane.

Trump interjected that CNN asked "with a slant, because they are totally slanted."

"They don't know what's happening, that's why nobody is watching them," Trump said.

"They don't know what's happening, that's why nobody is watching them," Trump said.

Trump said of CNN, "I think they hate our country" and accused it of stifling reporting about decreased illegal border crossings under his administration.

Bukele also slammed Collins' "preposterous" question after she asked the El Salvadorian president if he would help return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States."

The Supreme Court upheld the decision by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis saying the U'S' government should "facilitate" the release of Abrego Garcia "in El Salvador," and to ensure that his case is "handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." The supreme court also cautioned the judge against interfering in the constitutional authority of the president to conduct foreign policy.

The Trump administration hailed the supreme court decision as a victory that affirmed the president's authority over foreign policy.

In a court filing submitted Sunday evening, Department of Justice(DOJ) lawyers argued they are not required to comply with judge Xinis' order to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia.

The lawyers argued that the order itself likely exceeds the power of the courts, arguing they "have no authority to direct the Executive Branch to conduct foreign relations in a particular way, or engage with a foreign sovereign in a given manner."

Trump also asked White House Deputy chief of staff(CoS) Stephen Miller to respond to Collins' question during Monday's Oval Office meeting with Bukele. Miller defended the deportation of Abrego Garcia, arguing that even if El Salvador were to send him back to the U.S., the administration would deport him again. He emphasized that no version of the situation legally ends with the criminal alien living in the U.S.

"We won a case 9-0," Miller said. "And people like CNN are portraying it as a loss, as usual, because they want foreign terrorists in the country who kidnap women and children."

Miller said it was "very arrogant even for American media to suggest that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle their own citizens." He added that because Trump had declared MS-13 a foreign terrorist outfit, Abrego Garcia was ineligible for immigration relief in the U.S.

Rubio argued that the foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the president, not by a court, and that no court has the right to conduct foreign policy.

Noem said that the deportations are a "clear consequence for the worst of the worst" criminals.

Collins noted that Trump had said he would abide by the Supreme Court decision. Trump shot back, "Why don’t you just say, 'Isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?' Why can’t you just say that? Why do you go over and over — and that’s why nobody watches you anymore. You have no credibility."

Trump and Bukele discussed the partnership between the U.S. and El Salvador in tackling crime and terrorism.

The meeting also touched on other topics, such as tariffs and Iran, but the focus remained largely on the deportation issue and the status of Abrego Garcia.

Regarding tariffs, Trump mentioned that tech-specific tariffs on China were coming soon, indicating that no one would be "getting off the hook" in his trade war with China.

Elon Musk, Trump 'Big Beautiful Bill' Feud Fallout

The feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk escalated Thursday, with Musk accusing Trump of having ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and criticizing Trump's "big, beautiful" spending bill. Musk alleged that Trump is in the Epstein files, which is why they have not been made public, and suggested that Trump would not have won the election without him.

The White House's Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, calls Musk’s claim “an unfortunate episode” driven by his dissatisfaction with the bill’s lack of EV subsidies. A source notes Trump banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and references the February 2025 release of flight logs mentioning Trump.

The conflict began when Musk criticized the "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill, calling it an "abomination" and urging to keep electric vehicle (EV) and solar incentives while removing wasteful spending Trump responded by expressing disappointment in Musk, stating that he was "surprised" by Musk's criticism.

During a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Thursday, Trump addressed Musk’s criticism publicly, saying he’s “very disappointed” in Musk, who “knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody.” Trump claims Musk’s objections stem from the removal of the $7,500 EV tax credit, which he says Musk knew about for months. He suggests Musk may have “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Trump also mocked Musk’s appearance, referencing a recent black eye (attributed to Musk’s son) and questioning why he didn’t cover it with makeup.

In a social media post, Trump threatened to cancel Musk’s government contracts, including those for SpaceX and Tesla, stating, “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.” He also claimed he asked Musk to leave DOGE because he was “wearing thin.”

Escalating the feud Musk responded by saying SpaceX would begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft, indicating a potential withdrawal from government contracts.

Musk then took to X to make his accusations about the Epstein files. He wrote, "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

oMI-YMPaKR1qGVLoLQtxaxqzj8LmpgYKPh7sJ8DfmjdkhNZ428Qf3P8NNZiykZzprloLt_pxavtxt9ZGMrilT738j_5rvJgFpXjgFA6OCFsMxKUWJ3SAHFoyH6aYxyJ1Nw=w1280

The White House and Trump's supporters defended Trump, with the White House press secretary describing Musk's comments as "unfortunate" and suggesting that Musk was unhappy with the bill's content. Trump also suggested that Musk was upset about the removal of EV subsidies and mandates, which could affect Musk's Tesla business.

Despite the heated exchanges, Trump downplayed the situation to reporters and instead referenced his policy implementations, saying, "Oh it's okay, it's going very well, never done better."

Throughout the day, Musk's net worth dropped significantly, losing approximately $27 billion, although he remained the world's richest man with a net worth of around $388 billion.

Speaking to reporters by phone Friday, Trump said in response to reports of possible phone call with Musk, "I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem....No. I won't be speaking to him for a while I guess, but I wish him well."

“Honestly I’ve been so busy working on China… working on Russia… working on Iran.. I’m not thinking about Elon musk .. I just wish him well....,“ Trump later told reporters. "I hope he does well with Tesla."

Trump Announces Travel Ban, Restrictions On 19 Countries

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday, restricting travel to the United States from 12 countries and imposing partial restrictions on 7 others. The countries fully banned from entering the U.S. are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.

Countries subject to partial restrictions include Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela.

The ban takes effect on June 9, 2025.

The proclamation includes exemptions for lawful permanent residents (green card holders); existing visa holders (visas issued before June 9, 2025, will not be revoked); Afghans eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) who assisted the U.S. government; diplomats, athletes (e.g., for the World Cup or Olympics), and dual nationals with passports from non-restricted countries and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests, evaluated case-by-case.

The ban is subject to revision if countries improve vetting or security cooperation, and additional countries could be added if new threats emerge.

These restrictions aim to enhance national security and counterterrorism efforts by addressing deficiencies in the information needed to assess potential security threats posed by nationals of these countries.

Dave Portnoy Had A Meltdown In Heated Debate With Cohost About 'Jew Jokes,' Free speech

Barstool founder Dave Portnoy had a heated back and forth with his podcast's cohost Kirk Minihane over 'Jew jokes.'

Portnoy faced backlash recently on social media, after firing two waitresses and taking further action against some college students involved in an incident at his Barstool Sansom Street bar in Philadelphia, where a sign that read "Fuck the Jews," was displayed.

"Shut the fuck up you bald fuck" Portnoy screamed at Minihane during a recent The Unnamed Show episode after Minihane criticized Portnoy's approach to 'Jew jokes.'

Minihane argued that Americans and especially comedians have a right to free speech and to make jokes. While Portnoy suggested that given the war in Gaza and public anti-Israel sentiment online, 'Jew jokes' should not be allowed and offenders must be prosecuted.

"Shut up!... You work for me!" Portnoy screamed at Minihane who responded "Sure. You bet. For now..."

"Quit! I'll save $500,000." Portnoy said.

Minihane then asked "Is this a show or not a show? We can't have a conversation?"

"You're an idiot. You're literally saying people should be allowed to make Jew jokes whenever they want." Portnoy shot back.
