Donald Trump

While the first presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump merely offers hints about the Oval Office occupant for 2025, Europe, Canada, Korea, and Russia are already certain of the outcome.

Knewz.com has learned that NATO, Germany, Canada, and Turkish decision-makers in the country’s capital Ankara, are putting measures in place to deal with the possibility of Trump winning the election.

The upcoming NATO anniversary in Brussels, which would have typically centered on the war in Ukraine, is expected to prioritize discussions on the looming Trump administration instead.

Reports have since telegraphed mixed sentiments from various European thought leaders including NATO head, Jens Stoltenberg.

When grilled by the press on Friday, July 5, he sidestepped the questions regarding Biden’s health and by extension, what it spells for NATO and the war in Ukraine.

“What I can do, and NATO can do, is that we can focus on the substance of NATO. And that’s exactly what we’ll do,” he told the press.

Notably, the military organization’s efforts to lock in long-term support for the war in Ukraine (lest Trump come to power and put an end to Biden’s stream of handouts) have also been documented.

Turkey, on the other hand, is concerned about potential policy changes in Syria should the White House become conservative again, and has thus resorted to reviewing a distilled compilation of conservative and right-wing policy ideas named Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025.

South Korea also betrayed the same concerns when it tried to prematurely renew a deal with America to hold onto the 28,000 troops stationed in its country. 

Back in the United States, various secret sitdowns between German and Canadian officials, and conservative power brokers, have been reported.

The subject matter of these meetings allegedly spread to closed-door working breakfasts comprising various European ambassadors in Washington.

It was during one of these gatherings, in a brainstorming session on how to prepare for the Republican front-runner, that an unnamed envoy posed the questions:

“Can we truly prepare for Trump?”

“Or do we rather have to wait and see what the new reality would look like?” per Politico

A key aspect of Trump’s Europe policies while he was in office was that he wanted his NATO allies to shell out more capital on their defense. To demonstrate his resolve he even threatened to withdraw the U.S. from NATO.

Be this as it may, he recently claimed that he was capable of ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours. 

One prospective strategy to achieve this was to present Russia with an ultimatum: withdraw, or face a deluge of American weapons sent to Ukraine.

However indirectly, Russia has since acknowledged the likelihood of Trump returning to office. 

During a meeting with the press, Vladimir Putin stated: “The fact that Mr Trump, as a presidential candidate, declares that he is ready and wants to stop the war in Ukraine, we take this completely seriously.”

Former Republican National Committee spokesperson Tim Miller said in a recent statement that it is “publicly” visible challenger Donald Trump is “concerned” about the first presidential debate of the year.

Miller claims that the way Trump is trying to go after President Joe Biden — by alleging that he uses performance-enhancing drugs — is evidence of his concern about the debate, Knewz.com has learned.

Biden’s advancing age has been one of the key points of the Trump presidential campaign, positioning the former president as the younger and energetic alternative to Biden, although Trump himself celebrated his 78th birthday recently.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that Biden requires drugs to appear energetic and formulate coherent arguments, alleging that the President will show up at the June 27 presidential debate “jacked up” after being given “a shot in the a–,” according to The Guardian.

Trump also made these claims regarding Biden’s well-received State of the Union speech, where the 81-year-old President was praised for appearing energetic.

He asked President Biden to take a drug test ahead of the debate in a Truth Social post on Monday, June 24, a request he has been making as early as April.

“DRUG TEST FOR CROOKED JOE BIDEN??? I WOULD, ALSO, IMMEDIATELY AGREE TO ONE!!!” he wrote on the platform, per The Guardian.

Former White House physician Ronny Jackson, currently a Republican congressman for Texas, reiterated the claim in a letter he wrote to the President asking him to take the test as well.

In an interview with MSNBC‘s Jen Psaki, former Republican spokesperson Miller said these antics “visibly” show that Trump is worried about the debate.

“I do think that what we can see publicly is that Donald Trump is concerned about how this debate is being framed up as you lead into the debate,” Miller told Psaki.

“That is why he’s doing all the weird stuff about Joe Biden being on drugs. It’s worth reminding everybody that he tried this exact same playbook in 2020… But he already tried this ‘Joe Biden is on drugs’ thing. It didn’t work then.”

It is worth noting that the Biden campaign has responded to Trump’s allegations, with a spokesperson saying in a statement to The Hill, “Donald Trump is so scared of being held accountable for his toxic agenda of attacking reproductive freedom and cutting Social Security that he and his allies are resorting to desperate, obviously false lies.”

Miller also pointed out that Trump has been trying to clear the air regarding several of his previous comments, which, according to him, is Trump’s way of getting ahead of the attacks the debate might throw at him.

During a weekend rally, Trump stated that it was not true that he called American troops “suckers” and “losers,” which is something The Hill wrote he did say while speaking with his former chief of staff John Kelly during a 2018 trip to France.

“To me, that also shows that he’s a little bit worried about the debate. He’s thinking about what Joe Biden’s attacks might be on him, and he’s trying to take the air out of the balloon ahead of time,” Miller noted.

“So I think there’s a lot of evidence that Trump feels … is concerned about the debate. How that manifests in his weird mind, and whether he’s prepping or not, I’m not sure, but I think we can see plainly that he’s concerned.”

For Trump, another cause for concern might be his felony conviction, something former United States senator Claire McCaskill believes Biden will go after at the debate.

“I think he [Biden] will go after him. I don’t know how important it is to remind everyone that Donald Trump is a felon, I think everybody in America knows he’s been convicted,” McCaskill said in the MSNBC interview.

“The problem is there is this calcified group of people that are believing what Trump is saying, that somehow this is not a valid conviction,” she further pointed out.

Notably, a section of Trump supporters have leaned towards supporting him even more following the conviction, perpetuating the narrative that the Department of Justice was out to get Trump ahead of the 2024 elections.

“Well I think I’m going to vote for the felon,” said one of the voters interviewed for a JL Partners survey. “The Trump trial, I don’t like the guy very much, but he got railroaded, so let’s get him back to the office,” said another.

Former President Donald Trump has requested his second extension from the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC).

Knewz.com has learned that the FEC granted Trump an extension of 90 days to file his personal financials sparking speculation about his monetary obligations.

According to Reuters, he was initially required to surrender a report on May 15, but the deadline was extended upon request until July 1.

This followed one of Trump’s attorneys citing “the complexities of his financial holdings,” as a warrant for extension.

The FEC then released a second letter stating: “A hard copy of the report bearing Mr. Trump’s original signature is now due and should be received by the Federal Election Commission by August 15, 2024.”

This development comes in the wake of an article published by Bloomberg News stating that Trump had seen an end to his financial woes as his campaign sponsors helped him streak ahead of President Joe Biden.

The publication also cited an explosion “of online donations immediately following his felony convictions,” and went on to say even though Biden had set a record in democratic history with his $212 million campaign kitty, Trump was able to raise almost a quarter of Biden’s entire election purse ($52 million) in the first 24 hours following Stormy Daniels verdict.

Thus far, the Republican presidential candidate raised a total of $283 million which has him ahead of Biden by $57 million.

Trump’s campaign trail, it goes without saying, is a lot costlier than Biden’s. According to a report by the New York Times, between Trump’s departure from office in 2021 and March 2024, the former president was able to rack up a $100 million bill on lawyers and legal costs—and none of it was paid for with his own money.

“Instead, the former president has relied almost entirely on donations made in an attempt to fight the results of the 2020 election,” the New York Times reported.

According to this publication, however, Trump’s financial prognosis was bleak.

“Now, those accounts are nearly drained,” the New York Times continued, “and Mr. Trump faces a choice: begin to pay his substantial legal fees or find another way to finance them.”

Supporting himself, however, may not be as easy as it once was. Justice Arthur Engoron, after doing the math, ruled that the former president was to pay $355 million plus interest (approximately $100 million) after it was found that he falsely inflated the value of his properties for lower tax premiums and to improve the terms of his loans. 

His sons Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump did not escape Engoron’s gavel. Both were fined $4 million for their part in the Trump empire’s infractions.

The former president has also been handed a three-year ban from heading up any New York company while his sons were both banned from the same for two years.

Trump’s election campaign is yet to weigh in on the report by the FEC.

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team prosecuting Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, alleges that the former president dumped America’s secret files – possibly those with sensitive nuclear information – in a storeroom alongside his diet cokes.

Knewz.com has learned that this allegation was a reaction to one by Trump’s defense in a bid to have the case thrown out of court—they claimed that federal agents rearranged the documents in their storage boxes. 

The 30-page document submitted by Smith noted that while Trump seemed to understand the chaotic state of these files, they resembled no apparent order to anyone else.

“Trump personally chose to keep documents containing some of the nation’s most highly guarded secrets in cardboard boxes,” the Smith prosecution wrote.

“After they landed in stacks in the storage room, several boxes fell and splayed their contents on the floor; and boxes were moved to Trump’s residence on more than one occasion so he could review and pick through them.”

“At the end of his presidency, he took his cluttered collection of keepsakes to Mar-a-Lago, his personal residence and social club, where the boxes traveled from one readily accessible location to another—a public ballroom, an office space, a bathroom, and a basement storage area.”

When the federal agents arrived they found these documents “along with a collection of other personally chosen keepsakes of various sizes and shapes from his presidency—newspapers, thank you notes, Christmas ornaments, magazines, clothing, and photographs of himself and others.”

So intense was the disarray that agents had to search the rooms where the documents were stored in the two teams. The first team dubbed the “Privilege Review Team,” tried to ensure that no “potentially attorney-client privileged material was lying around.”

According to national security analyst, Marcy Wheeler, documents pertaining to American nuclear secrets were prone to be part of the chaos.

“If the Filter Team came across any potentially privileged materials, the entire box … was to be segregated away from access by any member of the Case Team,” the prosecution’s filing continued.

If any such material was found, it was “set aside for later, more thorough inspection by filter agents in the Washington Field Office.”

But this did not go according to plan.  

“However, once agents saw the state in which Trump kept his boxes,” the filing elaborated, “it became apparent that maintaining the exact order of all documents and items within the boxes was nigh impossible.”

The Smith filing further noted that federal agents were not prepared for the amount of documents they found at Trump’s Florida fiefdom.

It explained that while documents were replaced by “placeholder sheets”, and agents “used pre-printed classified cover sheets for the initial placeholder sheets […] they ran out of them, having not anticipated finding so many classified documents.”

Despite this legal and logistical challenge, Smith maintains that the investigating “agents did the best they could under the circumstances.”

The former first lady’s absence from the Donald Trump campaign trail has drawn the attention of gossip enthusiasts, who are speculating whether Melania will move back into the White House if her husband wins the upcoming election.

Knewz.com has learned that the question comes in the wake of Melania’s reclusive record during Trump’s presidential tenure between 2016 and 2020.

Mary Jordan, who postures herself as a specialist on the topic, told Axios “Melania does what Melania wants.”

One aspect making the former first lady “stand out in history from any other first lady,” according to Jordan, is that “her view is unelected [and] not paid.”

Another expert on the White House celeb, Kate Anderson Brower, claimed of Melania that “She’s distancing herself even more from her husband and from the Washington social-political scene.”

Kate Bennett, an unauthorized biographer and author of the book Free, Melania, claims: “Melania Trump is an enigma. Regardless of your political leanings, she is fascinating—a First Lady who, in many ways, is the most modern and groundbreaking in recent history.”

She goes on to describe the former first lady as: “A reluctant pillar in a controversial presidential administration who speaks five languages and runs the East Wing like none of her predecessors ever could—underestimate her at your own peril (as a former government official did and was summarily fired).”

With all of this being her track record, Jordan believes that should Melania be reinstalled in the White House and actually spend time there as opposed to “jetting between Palm Beach and New York,” it can be expected that she will ensure the services of a larger personal staff.

The last time she was first lady, it was said she was given an unusually small team because she moved into the White House later than she was supposed to.

“Now having seen how this works, she would just be wiser and she would be more vocal and more demanding about what the first lady’s office should get,” Jordan explained.

This speculation follows her recently being seen exiting her Secret Service vehicle and entering Trump Towers. 

The sighting sparked speculation that her presence in the Big Apple was indicative of her joining her husband’s campaign trail.

At the time, body language expert, Judi James weighed in on Melania’s appearance and pointed out her garb, saying: 

“The all-white look isn’t just about celebrity though, it’s a look she styled out frequently during the last days of the Trump reign at the White House when her radiant, fairy-godmother vibe looked wholesome and spotless,” per Daily Express.

“It’s another suggestion of wealth though as top-to-toe white is a challenging look when you’re navigating a city like New York and implies you’re all about the chauffeured limos rather than a grimy subway,” James continued.

“As an echo from the past, it could suggest an intention to recreate her FLOTUS brand though, being eye-catching and confident but without looking deliberately attention-seeking.”

While this was happening in New York, her husband was in Milwaukie putting out fires after he called the city “horrible”. 

As challenger Donald Trump prepares to face incumbent President Joe Biden in the first presidential debate of the year on June 27, an independent media outlet has claimed that there is one question the former president must be asked at the event.

Knewz.com has learned that while Trump has mentioned his stance regarding abortion pills, he has yet to delve into detail regarding the matter.

Abortion rights have been one of the most significant grounds for debate among conservatives and liberals and is an important issue in the United States presidential elections.

In an April 2024 interview with TIME, Trump was directly asked whether he would allow women to obtain abortion pills if he reclaims Office for a second term.

While he did not provide a direct answer then, he promised to release a statement within 14 days of the interview elaborating on his views on the subject.

“Well, I have an opinion on [whether women should be able to get the abortion pill mifepristone], but I’m not going to explain. I’m not gonna say it yet. But I have pretty strong views on that. And I’ll be releasing it probably over the next week [from the interview in April],” Trump told TIME.

Overall, Trump hinted that he would ultimately let the decision to impose a federal ban on abortion pills rest on the shoulders of state administration.

He invoked the 1973 Roe v. Wade court case, where the U.S. Supreme Court decided that the right to privacy implied in the 14th Amendment protected abortion as a fundamental right.

However, the decision was overturned in 2022, making the right to abortion dependent on the state constitution, as opposed to a right protected by the U.S. Constitution.

“Roe v. Wade was all about—it wasn’t about abortion so much as bringing it back to the states. So the states would negotiate deals. Florida is going to be different from Georgia and Georgia is going to be different from other places. But that’s what’s happening now. It’s very interesting,” Trump said in his TIME interview.

As a result of the overturning of the decision, “26 US states had multiple bans ready to enact, 13 of which were trigger laws that automatically took effect when Roe v. Wade was revoked,” according to a paper published in the National Library of Medicine.

“Eleven states had early gestational age bans, meaning that abortion was not allowed past the first trimester or another time point in the pregnancy,” the paper further noted.

Furthermore, a February 2023 study published by the NARAL mentioned that overturning Roe v. Wade restricted abortion access for 24.5 million women of reproductive age.

“If FDA approval of mifepristone [an abortion pill] is revoked, 64.5 million women of reproductive age in the U.S. would lose access to medication abortion care, an exponential increase in harm overnight,” the study wrote.

“This decision would only exacerbate the abortion access crisis that continues to sweep the country now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, increasing the number of people experiencing a loss of access by 163%.”

This makes Trump’s stance on the federal ban on abortion pills a significant talking point in the June 27 presidential debate on CNN, as he is yet to share his “opinion” on the record as a presidential challenger.

TIME had also asked Trump whether he would, as a president, enforce the Comstock Act, “which prohibits the mailing of drugs used for abortions by mail,” to which he also replied by saying that he would be “making a statement on that over the next 14 days [from the April interview].”

“Yeah, I have a big statement on that. I feel very strongly about it. I actually think it’s a very important issue,” he added. However, it has been months, and Trump has not elaborated his stance regarding the matter yet.

On the other hand, it seems Trump will not be ultimately releasing his statement, as his senior adviser Danielle Alvarez told POLITICO recently that “the matter is settled,” with the Supreme Court having unanimously rejected a lawsuit seeking to ban mifepristone.

Alvarez seemingly also tried closing the door to questions regarding the abortion pill issue at the upcoming debate, saying, “This election is about correcting the weakness, failures, and dishonesty of the Biden crime family.”

On the other hand, the independent media outlet Popular Information noted that “the matter is not settled,” as “nothing in the Supreme Court ruling prevents Trump from using the Justice Department to block shipments of mifepristone to pharmacies.”

“Trump typically limits his media appearances to friendly right-wing outlets. As a result, Trump has not been asked directly about his views on this issue since April 12. Thursday night’s debate on CNN, moderated by Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, is a critical opportunity to get Trump on the record,” the outlet wrote.

Former President Donald Trump is profiting from a claim that he was ‘tortured’ when he was booked into Georgia’s Fulton County jail in August 2023. 

Knewz.com has learned that this assertion was disseminated in an email advertising a mug with Trump’s mugshot.

“I want you to remember what they did to me,” the email reads.

“They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what? I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!” the email selling the allegedly limited edition mug for $47.00 apiece says.

Right-leaning news corporation and onetime Trump-ally, Fox News, also picked up on the email and cited an excerpt from the United Nations (UN) Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. 

According to the UN, torture is an “act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person.”

According to the New York Post, the entire booking process on August 25, 2023, took 20 minutes before the mugshot was released to the public.

Another report by CNN News noted that Trump was processed and released. The article further noted: “Jail records showed him at 6 foot 3 inches tall and weighing 215 pounds, with blue eyes and blond or strawberry hair. His booking number was P01135809.”

Following his brush with Georgia’s law enforcement, he sent an email to supporters and potential donors calling the jail “poor and disgraceful.”

According to BBC News, the email also claimed that the facility was “worse than you could even imagine,” and that it was violent and “falling apart.”

The publication further noted that while the penal facility was not in the best of shape and struggled with overcrowding, Trump never felt any of the discomforts suffered by those still incarcerated due to their inability to afford bail. 

Trump’s claim of torture grabbed the attention of netizens who refuted the idea.

One such entity on social media quipped: “Trump is claiming he was ‘tortured’ while getting his mug shot taken at the Fulton County jail.”

“John McCain [former Republican presidential candidate] knew all about REAL TORTURE, unlike Trump who has NO IDEA what ‘TORTURE’  is or he would have REQUIRED Hospitalization,” the comment on X read.

“Tortured?! What does Trump mean by this? Like they inconvenienced/annoyed him or that they did something painful/harmful like pulling his fingernails out?” quipped another.

“I highly doubt the Secret Service allowed Atlanta PD to truly torture Trump.”

“Trump thinks torture includes photographs and fingerprinting? Was he strip-searched? How many criminals are laughing at him?” asked an account dedicated to politics.

The mugshot, repurposed for resale, was initially met with massive fanfare when it first became public in August 2023. According to Politico, the former president raised $7.1 million, $4.18 million of which landed in the Trump campaign’s coffers within 24 hours of MAGA’s leader being booked into jail.

Former secretary of state who served on Barack Obama’s staff, Hillary Clinton, claims that she knows what to expect from the upcoming Donald Trump – Joe Biden debate.

Knewz.com has learned that she made these assertions in a guest essay where she supported her claims with her experience facing off against both candidates.

“I am the only person to have debated both men (Mr. Trump in 2016 and, in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary race, Senator Biden),” she wrote in a New York Times opinion piece.

“I know the excruciating pressure of walking onto that stage and that it is nearly impossible to focus on substance when Mr. Trump is involved,” she said mirroring sentiments by biographer Ramin Setoodeh during an interview with CNN’s Kaitlynn Collins.

“In our three debates in 2016, he unleashed a blizzard of interruptions, insults and lies that overwhelmed the moderators and did a disservice to the voters who tuned in to learn about our visions for the country — including a record 84 million viewers for our first debate,” Clinton recalled.

CNN, who will be hosting the debate remembers this too and has put in place a fixture that will automatically turn off the contenders’ microphones when their time runs out.

“It is a waste of time to try to refute Mr. Trump’s arguments like in a normal debate. It’s nearly impossible to identify what his arguments even are. He starts with nonsense and then digresses into blather. This has gotten only worse in the years since we debated,” Clinton said.

Doctors and geriatricians have also noticed this aspect of Trump’s public speeches. In a Daily Mail exclusive, Dr. Elizabeth Landsverk noted: “Trump’s mistakes usually see him ramble on for an extended period of time and fail to correct himself, which could be the sign of underlying brain problems.”

Clinton went on to cite a CNBC article where the journalists quoted the attending CEOs at a Business Roundtable meeting saying that “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”

The article further stated that “[Trump] was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map.”

According to Clinton, if Trump were to conduct himself similarly on June 27, he may not even disappoint.

“Expectations for him are so low that if he doesn’t literally light himself on fire on Thursday evening, some will say he was downright presidential,” the former first lady elaborated.

According to Clinton, even if Trump were to bully his way through the debate and conduct himself in the same manner he did in the 2016 and 2020 meetings, and if he resorted to the abortion rhetoric and spoke to the financial interests of the big oil corporations—he could still lose.

All Joe Biden has to do is deliver coherent to-the-point explanations. So confident is Clinton in Biden’s victory that she telegraphs her beliefs of him being the president giving the State of the Union address in March 2025.

A former top employee of Donald Trump has recently revealed that the former president once made a “shocking” joke about “Nazi ovens” in front of Jewish executives.

Knewz.com has learned that this was only one of the many “ridiculous remarks” Trump would often make, according to the former employee.

Barbara Res was the lead engineer on the construction of the Trump Tower, the monumental 58-story, 664-foot-tall skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, New York, and has worked with Trump for around 20 years.

She penned a memoir of her days under the former president’s employment in 2020, entitled Tower of Lies: What My Eighteen Years of Working With Donald Trump Reveals About Him.

In an interview with the news outlet MSNBC on Sunday, June 23, she delved into details of her former boss’s erratic behavior, including the “Nazi oven” joke.

Res, who also served as the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, was asked by MSNBC about the lengthy, maundering rants Trump has been seen drifting into during his campaign speeches lately.

For instance, AFP cited the example of Trump setting off on a maundering rant in Las Vegas that drifted through an array of topics ranging from “shark attacks to electric batteries to electrocutions.”

It is worth noting that, in a survey conducted by the pollster JL Partners, 61% of voters predicted that Trump would most likely “tell a rambling story” at the debate, while 54% expect his mic to be cut off.

AFP further highlighted that the 78-year-old challenger to the throne has “confused the leaders of Turkey and Hungary, warned that the world was headed for a second — not third — world war, and called fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter a ‘wonderful man,'” over the past few months.

The former president is also known to often confuse Presiden Joe Biden with Barack Obama, per Reuters.

“Did he do this when you worked for him?” MSNBC anchor Ali Velshi asked Res, to which she replied, “A little bit,” while adding that Trump was “saner back then.”

She said that Don’s recent inappropriate jokes about Hannibal Lecter eating people reminded her of an incident:

“We had just hired a residential manager, a German guy… And Donald [Trump] was bragging among – to us executives, there were four of us – about how great the guy was and he was a real gentleman, and he was so neat and clean.”

“And he looked at a couple of our executives who happen to be Jewish, and he said, ‘Watch out for this guy – he sort of remembers the ovens,’ you know, and then smiled,” she told MSNBC.

By “ovens,” Trump seemingly referred to the fact that the Nazi regime murdered over 6 million Jewish people during the Holocaust and often burned their bodies in ovens at concentration camps.

“Everybody was shocked… I couldn’t believe he said that. But he was making a joke about the Nazi ovens and killing people, and that’s the way he was,” Res said via MSNBC.

The Guardian pointed out that one of the key points in the 2024 Presidential elections in November will be the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamass conflict in Gaza, as both Republicans and Democrats try to attract Jewish votes.

Considering the situation, Trump’s “Nazi oven” remark came to light at a very critical time for the GOP campaign, with Trump having recently argued that “Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats hate both Israel and Judaism, saying that he and his Republican party are better placed to help end the Gaza war,” per The Guardian.

Notably, Trump’s ReAwaken America event in Miami, Florida, in May saw the presence of many known conservatives who share anti-Semitic views, including Charlie Ward, a personality on Rumble who praised Hitler for “warning us” about Judaism and claimed that “VIRUSES are Man (JEW) made,” and Scott McKay, who allegedly echoes Adolf Hitler’s sentiments that Jews control the world. 

A new recording has been released with Former President Donald Trump admitting that he lost the 2020 election.

Knewz.com has learned that the admission was made during an interview with biographer Ramin Setoodeh after Trump left the White House.

The recording shared with CNN’s Jim Acosta captured Setoodeh asking about one-time “Apprentice” contestant, Geraldo Riviera.

“What was Geraldo like?” Setoodeh asked, to which Trump replied. “He was good. He did a good job.”

“He was smart, cunning. He did a good job”

“And are you guys still close, or are you no longer…” Setoodeh asked, and before he could finish, Trump responded, saying: “No, I don’t think so.”

“He is uh… After I lost the election,” Trump says, and in the same breath corrects himself: “ I won the election, but when they said we lost, he called me up three or four times.”

Acosta stops the recording at that point and asks “Did you catch that?” and continues to say that it may be a slip of the tongue but that the uncorrected statement paralleled allegations by other personalities who spent time close to Trump during his tenure at the White House.

One such individual is Cassidy Hutchinson, who claimed that the Republican front-runner “knows he lost.”

During a September 14, 2022, Congressional hearing, Hutchinson, an aide to Trump’s then chief of staff, Mark Meadows, appeared before the committee on the January 6 insurrection.

She testified that Meadows told her “A lot of times he’ll tell me that he lost, but he wants to keep fighting it, and he thinks that there might be enough to overturn the election.”

“He’s just so angry at me all the time,” Cassidy’s former boss said. “I can’t talk to him about anything post-White House without him getting mad that we didn’t win.”

Hutchinson noted that on another occasion, Meadows told her: “He said something to the effect of, ‘he knows it’s over. He knows he lost. But we are going to keep trying. There’s a chance he didn’t lose. I want to pull this off for him.’”

Despite these claims, Trump stands by his narrative of election theft. Acosta observed the same and said: “In public, Trump continues to perpetuate that the election was stolen.”

The former president has since lashed out at Setoodeh on social media.

“He had nothing but great and glowing things to say during his interviews with President Trump — now, he’s lying in a sad, desperate attempt to sell his trash book,” the post on X ranted.

Setoodeh, in turn, who just released the Trump biography named The Apprentice in Wonderland, suggested that Trump may have a tenuous grasp on reality.

In his interview with Acosta, he says “Trump views the world through the prism of reality TV, and in fact, he still sees himself in a lot of ways as a reality TV star.”

He refers to the recording of Trump’s admission calling it the “performance artist in Donald Trump”—a skill he (Trump) learned during his tenure as the host of The Apprentice where he manipulated the media and changed narratives so they suited the reality he desired.
