Trump to Axios: Gaza deal might by my biggest accomplishment

Trump said he'd watched parts of a rally for the hostages in Tel Aviv on Saturday. The speakers included his daughter Ivanka Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and envoy Steve Witkoff. The president said he'd spoken to the three about it afterwards. "It was an incredible rally. It was a great thing. Everybody is thrilled," he said. One aspect of the rally that gained attention online was that the crowd cheered when Trump's name was mentioned, but booed when Witkoff mentioned Netanyahu.

Starmer praises Trump over role in Gaza ceasefire deal

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has praised US President Donald Trump's leadership in the Gaza peace talks, claiming the deal "would not have happened" without him. On Wednesday, Trump announced Israel and Hamas had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point peace plan, in a major step towards a permanent end to their war. It comes two years and two days after the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others taken hostage.

Trump wants his face on a US dollar coin. History, not law, stands in the way - Poynter

President Donald Trump appears poised to put his image on both sides of a commemorative $1 coin issued by the United States Mint. On Oct. 3, the White House reshared an X post from U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach confirming reports that the Trump administration was seeking to put the president's image on the front and back of a dollar coin commemorating the nation's 250th anniversary. U.S. currency typically does not feature living people - or sitting presidents - but it's not unprecedented. "There have been times in the past where commemorative coins have been printed with the faces of living people," White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett said on CNN's " State of the Union " Oct. 5. He's right: Several living people have been featured on U.S. coins in both the recent and distant past, including one sitting president.

Even as he has relentlessly pressed to expand his own powers to unprecedented levels, the 47th president has begun acting on his threats by deploying the machinery of justice against people, institutions, and ideas he dislikes.
