Donald Trump
President of the United States
As of April 2025, Donald Trump is serving his second, non-consecutive term as the 47th president of the United States after defeating Joe Biden in the 2024 election. His administration has enacted sweeping changes, including major staff cuts across federal agencies under the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk, and rolled back diversity initiatives while pushing hardline immigration and citizenship policies—many of which have sparked legal challenges and nationwide protests. On the global stage, Trump has reignited trade tensions with China by imposing high tariffs, prompting retaliatory measures and market instability. He has also initiated nuclear talks with Iran and continues to promote his “America First” doctrine. Amid his controversial return to power, Trump remains a polarizing figure, with recent developments even including scrutiny of Wikipedia's neutrality and online censorship concerns raised by its co-founder Larry Sanger.
Ballerina Freed: Trump's Help Brings Home US Dancer After Months in Russian Prison

Ksenia Karelina, an American ballerina, has returned to Los Angeles after being imprisoned in Russia for months. She was arrested in February 2024 during a visit to her family and sentenced to 12 years in prison for making a $51 donation to Ukraine. Her fiancé, Chris van Heerden, campaigned tirelessly for her release and eventually turned to former President Donald Trump, who negotiated her freedom in a prisoner swap deal. Van Heerden expressed frustration with the previous administration's lack of progress in securing Karelina's release, stating that they only made progress after turning to Trump and the new administration.
