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.

Barron Trump's Phone Number Off-Limits: Secret Service Steps In for Son's Online Security

Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump, is not allowed to share his phone number with friends due to safety concerns. Instead, he communicates with friends through gaming platforms like Discord and Xbox. This is because Barron is constantly guarded by the Secret Service on campus at New York University Stern School of Business, limiting his opportunities for face-to-face socializing, and he is also forbidden from giving out his number to avoid it leaking further.

IMF Slashes UK Growth Forecast: Domestic Factors Blamed, Not Trump Tariffs

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) slashed its growth forecast for the UK to 1.1%, citing domestic factors such as surging utility bills and higher government borrowing costs, rather than blaming Donald Trump’s tariffs. The IMF warned that the UK faces the highest inflation in the G7, deepening the cost-of-living crisis.
