Former President Donald Trump made a new friend today, reinforcing ties between the U.S. and the United Kingdom. During a joint appearance, a British official expressed gratitude for the strong relationship, stating, “It’s good to know the United Kingdom has a true friend in the Oval Office. We look forward to welcoming you to the U.K. Thank you once again.”

Trump, with his characteristic humor, responded, “Thank you very much. What a beautiful accent!” He then joked that if he had that accent, he might have been elected president 20 years earlier.

The conversation soon turned to trade negotiations. A reporter asked Trump if the British Prime Minister had successfully persuaded him not to impose tariffs on the U.K. Trump, laughing, responded, “He tried. He was working hard, I’ll tell you that. He earns whatever they pay him over there!” He suggested that a comprehensive trade deal could be in the works, potentially making tariffs unnecessary.

Meanwhile, on the Democratic front, Joe Biden was spotted at a train station with the biggest smile seen since his inauguration. The former president appeared to be enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle while the Democratic Party struggled to regroup.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is even exploring a career in stand-up comedy. “I know what you’re thinking…” he began, hinting at his lighthearted approach to politics. However, beneath the humor, there’s a lingering disappointment. Walz and other Democrats still seem unable to move past their election defeat, with many still blaming themselves for the loss.

The Democratic Party remains fractured, trying to recover from a political landslide. Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, now a media figure, candidly shared her struggles with the fallout, admitting she had distanced herself from news consumption since leaving office. “I’ve really tried to focus on self-care,” she said. “I have deprogrammed myself so that I can be a civilian again.”

Despite these efforts, Americans haven’t forgotten Biden’s frequent gaffes, moments of confusion, and public missteps. Trump never shied away from addressing the media, whereas Biden often avoided direct engagement, a strategy Psaki attempted to justify. “The President was very honest. He acknowledged that he doesn’t move or speak as well as he used to,” she explained, emphasizing the challenges of the changing media landscape.

However, Jesse Watters pushed back on this notion, arguing that Biden had ample opportunities to engage but repeatedly declined. “Every reporter wanted to interview him. Biden just said no.”

As the Democratic Party struggles to find a clear path forward, internal divisions remain apparent. Psaki described the party’s treatment of Biden as a “firing squad” and expressed disappointment at how he was sidelined. “It was shocking and sad to see a true patriot treated that way.”

The biggest issue for Democrats now is finding a leader to replace Biden. When asked about Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances in 2028, Psaki hesitated, stating, “I want to see many voices, not just one, leading us forward.” Her reluctance to endorse Harris speaks volumes about the party’s uncertain future.

As Democrats continue to search for a unifying figure, political commentators suggest the party might be shifting toward a more media-driven approach, with prominent figures focusing on influencer-style engagement rather than traditional leadership. “They don’t want to be a political party anymore,” observed one commentator. “They want to be influencers.”

With the Democratic Party in disarray, Trump remains a dominant force in the political landscape, continuing to command attention while his opponents struggle to find their footing.
