Trump Eats the Epstein Files in 'Genius' New L.A. Street Art: 'Needs to Be on Billboards Everywhere'
In a video posted Sunday by @vjaybombs on TikTok, an account that creates and projects edited videos that are often commentary on politics on buildings across the U.S., someone is seen on the side of a California building opening the Epstein files, labeled "classified."
But as they pull out a piece of paper headed with the words "client list," Trump stuffs the papers in his mouth and swallows it, before washing it down with a soft drink. The president then dips out of sight as the video ends.
The video appeared to imply that Trump was covering up or hiding information connected to the Epstein files, captioning the video, "Nothing to see here..." The Epstein case has garnered heavy traction online, with backlash from both sides of the political spectrum after a July 6 memo from the administration determined that Epstein had killed himself and that there was "no client list."
The TikTok has since amassed more than 4.3 million views, with hundreds of users taking jabs at Trump, his administration and the handling of the Epstein files.
"They're eating the files, they're eating the list!!!" one user joked, referring to Trump's viral false claims from 2024 that Haitian migrants were eating pets in Ohio. "This is genius. I hope it gets some traction," another added.
"Trump is 100% on that list," one user claimed. Another wrote, "Next thing we will get from them is 'Epstein didn't exist.'"
"This needs to be on billboards everywhere," another user commended. One added, "Excellent work, please make more."
The backlash over the Epstein memo has led to calls from prominent MAGA influencers for U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to resign. Far-right activist Laura Loomer accused the DOJ of "lying," while conspiracy theorist Alex Jones called the situation "a disaster."
Meanwhile, Trump came to Bondi's defense in a Saturday Truth Social post, saying she was doing "a FANTASTIC JOB" and that he has "a PERFECT administration."

US Olympic Policy Change Bans Transgender Women In Women's Events
American transgender women will no longer be able to compete in women's events at the Olympics and Paralympics after a recent policy change by the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC). A new note on the USOPC website regarding the participation of transgender athletes in sports says: "As of July 21, 2025, please refer to the USOPC athlete safety policy." The policy update, following US President Donald Trump's "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order, was added to the USOPC Athlete Safety Policy on its website as a new subsection entitled "Additional Requirements." "The USOPC is committed to protecting opportunities for athletes participating in sport," the addition reads. "The USOPC will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders with oversight responsibilities... to ensure that women have a fair and safe competition environment consistent with Executive Order 14201 (Trump's order) and the Ted Stevens Olympic & Amateur Sports Act." The Stevens Act, adopted in 1988, provides a means of handling eligibility disputes for Olympic sports and other amateur events. A memo to Team USA from USOPC chief executive Sarah Hirshland and president Gene Sykes on Tuesday obtained by ABC News and ESPN made reference to Trump's February executive order, saying: "As a federally chartered organization, we have an obligation to comply with federal expectations." Trump's executive order threatens to remove federal funds from any school or institution allowing transgender girls to play on girls' teams, claiming that would violate Title IX rules giving US women equal sport opportunities. The order requires immediate enforcement against institutions that deny women single-sex sports and single-sex locker rooms. "Our revised policy emphasizes the importance of ensuring fair and safe competition environments for women," ESPN quoted the USOPC letter to governing bodies as saying. "All National Governing Bodies are required to update their applicable policies in alignment." ESPN also said the officials noted the USOPC "has engaged in a series of respectful and constructive conversations with federal officials" in the wake of Trump's executive order. The move comes as Los Angeles awaits a host role for the 2028 Summer Olympics. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) also altered its policy for transgender athlete participation to limit women's sports competitors to athletes assigned female at birth after Trump's executive order.

Trump announces Japan trade deal with 15% tariff on imports – DW – 07/23/2025
The deal will reportedly see the US levy 15% tariff on goods imported from Japan. Trump had previously threatened to slap a 25% tariff if a deal was not made. US President Donald Trump said he had reached a trade deal with Japan on Tuesday. Under the new terms, the US will place a 15% tariff on goods imported from Japan, down from a previously threatened 25% tariff. "This deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs — there has never been anything like it," Trump posted on Truth Social. He added that the United States "will continue to always have a great relationship with the country of Japan." After Trump's post, Japanese Prime Minister Sherigu Ishiba said he was ready to meet or speak over the phone with Trump after being briefed on the details by Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa, who has been in Washington for talks.

Trump Announces 'Massive' Japan Trade Deal Including 15% Tariff
President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States had agreed to a "massive" trade deal with Japan that would include a 15 percent tariff on its exports. The two countries have been locked in negotiations for months since Trump launched his global trade offensive, with levies targeting steel and automobiles -- both important Japanese exports -- seen as particular sticking points. Trump had previously threatened Japan, a major US trading partner, with a tariff of 25 percent beginning August 1 if a deal was not reached. "We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made," Trump announced on his Truth Social platform. He said that under the deal, "Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits." He did not provide further details on the unusual investment plan, but claimed the deal "will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs." Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said that he needed to examine the deal before commenting. "As for what to make of the outcome of the negotiations, I am not able to discuss it until after we carefully examine the details of the negotiations and the agreement," Ishiba told reporters in Tokyo after Trump's announcement in Washington. Japan has agreed to "open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things," Trump said. Rice imports are a sensitive issue in Japan, and Ishiba's government had previously ruled out any concessions on the topic. Japan's Nikkei index bounced over one percent on news of the deal, with Japanese auto stocks rising six percent. The deal comes after Ishiba faced a bruising weekend election that left his coalition without a majority in the upper house. Trump has been under pressure to wrap up trade pacts after promising a flurry of deals ahead of his August 1 tariff deadline. Earlier on Tuesday, he announced a deal had been reached with the Philippines which would see the country face 19 percent tariffs on its exports. The White House also laid out details of a deal with Indonesia, which would see it ease critical mineral export restrictions and also face a 19 percent tariff. Similar agreements have been struck with the United Kingdom and Vietnam, while negotiations are ongoing with the top three largest US trading partners, China, Canada and Mexico. After an escalatory tit-for-tat with Beijing, the two major economies agreed to a temporary lowering of tariffs, with another round of negotiations expected next week in Stockholm. Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has imposed a sweeping 10 percent tariff on allies and competitors alike, alongside steeper levels on steel, aluminum and autos. Legal challenges to Trump's non-sectoral tariffs are ongoing.
