The Guardian view on Trumps omnipresence: commanding attention like a king | Editorial The presidents image and name are proliferating in Washington and beyond, overturning well-advised democratic taboos on glorifying sitting leaders One of the surest signs of an authoritarian regime is the ubiquity of its leader. Mussolinis face was plastered across fascist Italy. In North Korea, pictures of Kim Jong-un have appeared alongside those of his father and grandfather, which are present in every home and public building. The golden statue of Turkmenistans leader, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, perching on a marble cliff in the capital is one of a multitude of portrayals.Thriving democracies spurn such displays, rightly judging it safer to laud leaders once they are out of power. The first US president, George Washington, refused to appear on currency, believing that redolent of European monarchs. The 47th has no such concerns. The administration wants a $250 bill depicting Donald Trump to commemorate the 250th anniversary of independence, though federal law does not currently allow banknotes to depict living people. His signature will soon appear on $100 bills: a first for a US president. Continue reading...

Iran-US war latest: Trump rants about grandstanding Republicans after they vote to block him striking Iran The vote is largely symbolic and is likely to be ignored by the White House

independent · 2 days ago

Trumps Iran war messaging is not winning over Americans – or their representatives Trump, still negotiating to conclude the war, claims its already over. Some Republican lawmakers have had enoughDonald Trump has two things to say about his war with Iran. The first is that its already over. And second, a symbolic congressional vote to end it – carried by four members of his own party – is a stab in the back that could derail the peace talks hes conducting for the war thats already over.By a 215-208 margin on Wednesday, the US House of Representatives voted to direct the president to withdraw US forces from hostilities with Iran, the first time either chamber has passed such a measure in the little over three months since Operation Epic Fury began on 28 February. By Thursday morning, Trump was on Truth Social calling the vote unpatriotic and blaming it on Trump Derangement Syndrome. Continue reading...

Trump to nominate Todd Blanche as attorney general President Trump will formally nominate acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to lead the Justice Department, with the paperwork expected Thursday.Why it matters: Confirmation would keep the Justice Department in the hands of Trumps former criminal defense attorney, who has used his tenure to fight judges, indict former FBI director James Comey and dismiss critics of the departments handling of the Epstein files.The latest: The president revealed the pick in a video that deputy White House chief of staff Dan Scavino posted to X late Wednesday. "We are going to make him permanent attorney general," Trump said in the video, vowing to start the process the next day.The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.The intrigue: Trump is elevating Blanche days after his most public setback. The acting AG spent weeks defending a nearly $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, a taxpayer payout to people who say they were wrongly targeted by the government. It was born of the DOJs settlement of Trumps own lawsuit against the IRS.After Senate Republicans balked, especially at the prospect of payouts to Jan. 6 rioters, he killed the fund Tuesday.Still, Blanche said the department will keep the settlements provisions prohibiting the IRS from auditing Trumps past returns.Trump has demurred, continuing to call the fund a "beautiful thing" to CNN and saying he doesnt know if its dead.Catch up quick: Blanche was Trumps criminal defense attorney, who steered him through his 2024 hush money conviction and the two federal cases brought by special counsel Jack Smith that never reached trial. Hes run the DOJ on an acting basis since Trump pushed out Pam Bondi in April, frustrated she hadnt delivered prosecutions of his enemies, Axios previously reported.As deputy attorney general, Blanche had publicly declared a "war" on judges and state bar associations.Whats next: Blanche cleared the Senate as deputy AG last year 52-46, on a party line vote.That was before the revolt over the fund, and before Trump spent the primary season ending the careers of Republicans he deemed insufficiently loyal.
