Trump safe after what FBI describes as apparent assassination attempt
SUMMARY: The FBI is investigating a second assassination attempt on former President Trump after gunshots were fired near him while he was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump’s campaign confirmed he is safe, and Secret Service agents reportedly fired at a man with an AK-style rifle who posed a threat. The suspect fled but was later apprehended. Trump’s campaign sent out a fundraising email reassuring supporters of his safety. This incident follows a previous shooting at a campaign rally in July, which raised serious concerns about Secret Service protective measures, leading to the resignation of its director.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
