President Trump is unlike any other President the United States has had in its history. To be fair‚ nobody had this much publicity and success like Donald Trump has had in his life. In a recent post‚ President Trump will be adopting an “Apprentice-style” approach when deciding on his Vice President running mate in the 2024 election. NEW: Trump is aiming to select his Vice President ‘Apprentice style’ We’re so back pic.twitter.com/JmyNN9baEp — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) April 1‚ 2024 This approach would be groundbreaking in the political world‚ but right on par with President Trump’s television background. This is not only in an effort to narrow down his VP shortlist‚ but even to add some suspense and a strategic play to captivate the Republican base. The new approach would send contestants through a series of challenges and evaluations‚ all of which would be monitored by President Trump himself with an audience of supporters and political analysts. Trending Politics expands on the developing story: Julia Manchester‚ a National Politics reporter for The Hill‚ commented on the development to Fox News‚ noting that Trump’s penchant for drama and suspense aligns with his supporters’ expectations. “This is no surprise‚” Manchester explained. “We know that Donald Trump really likes the drama and he likes the suspense. He knows that his supporters like to watch that‚ so they’ll appreciate how this process is going to be drawn out.” The Politico adds more: The campaign has already hired an outside firm to vet candidates and prepare research documents. Former first lady Melania Trump‚ who influenced Trump’s decision to select Mike Pence in 2016‚ has been kept apprised. And Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. said he speaks with his father frequently about who is in contention. While who is up or down seemingly changes by the minute‚ the list has included everyone from Tim Scott and Kristi Noem to Byron Donalds‚ Elise Stefanik‚ Tulsi Gabbard and J.D. Vance‚ whom Trump has called a “fighter.” Trump‚ despite saying he doesn’t think the vice president matters all that much‚ regularly asks guests at his Mar-a-Lago club for their opinion on different options and‚ with a flair for suspense‚ teases his choices in private meetings and media interviews. The process is expected to take months. “He’s going to draw this out ‘Apprentice’-style‚” said one person close to the Trump campaign who was granted anonymity to speak freely. The former president has said his top criterion is picking someone “who is going to be a good president … in case of emergency.” But Trump is also sensitive to electoral needs‚ and part of the consideration is having someone who can help expand his appeal in November. President Trump has been on record stating the role of a Vice President is limited in importance. Despite this stance‚ he emphasizes the candidate should be capable assuming the role as President in an emergency. Furthermore‚ the Vice President candidate also has the ability to boost his electoral appeal come November. While the new “Apprentice Style” approach to picking a Vice President may seem unconventional‚ it could prove to be effective. Should this work‚ President Trump would go down in history for changing the political process as we know it.

Sitting between the heritage of the 70s and the glitzy‚ big-haired peak to which the 80s would ascend‚ 1984 was a quietly pivotal time for music‚ popular culture and the world as we knew it

President Joe Biden said on Monday that he did not declare this Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility. Biden’s claim comes after he has faced outrage from Christians for issuing a proclamation about it and posting about it on social media on Easter Sunday. “Today‚ on Transgender Day of Visibility‚ I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you‚” Biden wrote on X. “You are made in the image of God‚ and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.” Today‚ on Transgender Day of Visibility‚ I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God‚ and you're worthy of respect and dignity. pic.twitter.com/ihvsJrXEyd — President Biden (@POTUS) March 31‚ 2024 A reporter asked Biden about the matter during the White House Easter Egg Roll. “Mr. President‚ what does Easter mean to you‚ sir?” the reporter asked. “Sir‚ what does Easter mean to you?” Biden‚ who claims to be a “devout Catholic‚” responded: “Time for forgiveness and people getting together and a little bit of love and no phoniness. Be straight with people.” The reporter responded by highlighting criticism from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) about Biden proclaiming that Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility. “And Mr. Speaker Johnson the other day said‚ sir‚ Speaker Johnson said you betrayed the tenet of Easter by proclaiming Sunday‚ Easter Sunday‚ as Transgender Day. He called it outrageous and abhorrent‚” the reporter said. “What do you say to Speaker Johnson?” “He’s thoroughly uninformed‚” Biden claimed. “I didn’t do that.” WATCH: BIDEN: “He’s thoroughly uninformed.” During the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House‚ EWTN’s @owentjensen asked the President about Speaker Johnson calling out the White House for proclaiming Transgender Day on Easter Sunday.

He did nothing in conflict with the ‘tenets of Easter‚’ which he celebrated yesterday‚ nor did he choose the date of March 31st for the Transgender Day of Visibility‚ which has been set sine 2009‚” White House Spokesman Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in a statement.

The Biden administration lashed out on Monday after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled that he will ban Aljazeera‚ a Qatari government-controlled propaganda channel‚ from Israel because of the lies it has told about the October 7 terrorist attack and because some of its journalists participated in the attack. Israeli lawmakers in the Knesset passed a measure 71-10 on Monday giving Netanyahu the power to ban the organization. “Al Jazeera harmed Israel’s security‚ actively participated in the October 7 massacre‚ and incited against IDF soldiers‚” Netanyahu posted on X. “It is time to remove the shofar of Hamas from our country. The terrorist channel Al Jazeera will no longer broadcast from Israel.” “I intend to act immediately in accordance with the new law to stop the channel’s activity‚” he added. “I welcome the law promoted by Communications Minister Shlomo Karai with the support of coalition members led by coalition chairman Ofir Katz.” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lashed out at Israel during the White House press briefing on Monday‚ saying that it was concerning that Israel would ban a propaganda network that is controlled by a country that has strong ties to terrorism. “At least the reports that we’ve seen — is about Al Jazeera‚ specifically. But it doesn’t matter‚ whichever — right? — journalists more broadly‚” she said. “But if it is true — if it is true‚ a move like this is concerning. We believe in the freedom of the press. It is critical. It is critically important. And the United States supports the critically important work journalists around the world do. And so — and that includes those who are reporting in — in the conflict in Gaza.” “So‚ we believe that work is important‚ the freedom of the press is important‚” she added. “And if those reports are true‚ it is concerning to us.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed President Biden this week for saying that he did not declare this Easter Sunday as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” Biden issued an official proclamation on Good Friday that declared that Sunday‚ March 31st —  which was also Easter Sunday — was “Transgender Day of Visibility.” He further posted about it on Easter‚ writing on X: “Today‚ on Transgender Day of Visibility‚ I have a simple message to all trans Americans: I see you. You are made in the image of God‚ and you’re worthy of respect and dignity.” Biden‚ when pressed about the issue on Monday‚ said: “I didn’t do that.” DeSantis responded to Biden’s denial remarks during a press conference on Monday where the governor highlighted his latest victory for Floridians‚ which he said would save them hundreds of millions of dollars on toll roads. “Wait a minute‚ he said that didn’t happen‚ he said he didn’t do that‚” DeSantis exclaimed. “Which raises the question that he’s either not being honest with the public or he really didn’t know what was going on.” “Who’s running the presidency? Is it a bunch of woke‚ 20-something-year-old White House staffers?” DeSantis asked. “So I don’t know who’s in charge. The fact that he’s not owning up to it — either way‚ it’s bad.” DeSantis said that the holiday was important and that he spent the day with his family. “It’s the most important‚ for Christians‚ holiday on the calendar‚” he said. “And you know what Biden did‚ you know‚ I think was ridiculous‚ but it does raise the issue.” WATCH: ‼️WATCH!
