Taylor
takes a jab at Donald Trump over Epstein files just days after Fox Sports firing
On July 24, Joy Taylor reposted a story from Complex on her Instagram Stories revealing that Donald Trump had reportedly been notified by the Justice Department that his name appears in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender. Alongside the post, Taylor wrote a biting caption: 'Water is wet.'
The cryptic remark quickly caught fire online, with many interpreting it as a sarcastic confirmation that Trump's name showing up in such files was unsurprising — or perhaps long suspected.
While Taylor didn't expand on her message, her decision to comment so soon after her Fox Sports departure suggests she's no longer interested in playing it safe in the public sphere.

and internal shakeups

The suit also named Skip Bayless and former executive Charlie Dixon, accusing Taylor of downplaying a groping allegation and mocking PTSD symptoms.
Taylor has denied the accusations outright, calling them 'meritless and attention-seeking.' However, internal reviews reportedly uncovered additional concerns behind the scenes. Former FS1 host Cris Carter commented on the matter during a podcast appearance, saying, 'They had to tear all those shows down… That thing was ugly… Had to happen.'
Donald Trump's Epstein ties spark renewed scrutiny amid political pushback
Meanwhile, the Trump-Epstein connection continues to make headlines. A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump during a May briefing that his name had surfaced in DOJ files related to Epstein. The White House has dismissed the reports as 'fake news,' insisting that appearing in documents does not imply wrongdoing.
Still, Joy Taylor's post suggests public figures are no longer willing to stay quiet — especially when they feel uncensored.

Pharmaceuticals, IT services, Electronics and Auto components: How will Donald Trump's 25 percent tariffs affect India? Experts say India will now...
Donald Trump- File image New Delhi: In a shocking turn of events for India-US trade relations, the US, under the leadership of President Donald Trump announced the imposition of a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming from India starting August 1, plus an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment. The surprise announcement came a day after Indian officials said that a US trade team would visit from August 25 to negotiate a trade deal. After the imposition has been announced, several industry experts have expressed opinions on how the tariffs are going to impact the Indian market. Which key Indian sectors will be impacted? Auto & Auto Components : This sector may be hit hard, with companies like Tata Motors (Jaguar Land Rover) and auto component exporters exposed to the US market. Electronics & Textiles : These sectors could see increased pressure due to higher tariffs, making Indian goods less competitive. Pharmaceuticals & IT Services: These sectors remain largely exempt from the new tariffs, but could face indirect impact if US economic activity slows. What do experts say on US tariffs on India? Reacting to the development, PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) President Hemant Jain said that the United States' recalibrated trade policy, which is also targeting other major exporters like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, signals a larger supply chain realignment, as per a report carried by news agency IANS. 'While Indian MSMEs may feel an initial impact, this is also an opportunity. Global buyers are now looking to de-risk from overdependence on a few geographies, and India is emerging as the most credible, democratic, and scalable alternative,' Jain was quoted as saying by the report. Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) Chairman Kirit Bhansali struck a cautious tone, appealing for diplomatic engagement. 'We urge the US administration to reconsider and call on both governments to engage in constructive dialogue that safeguards bilateral trade and protects the millions of jobs that depend on it on both sides,' he said.

DNA Test Of US President Trump Tariff Bulling
In a move that's sparked diplomatic concern, US President Donald Trump announced a unilateral 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods. A decision that coincided with the historic launch of the NISAR satellite, jointly developed by ISRO and NASA. While space collaboration between India and the US soared to new heights, Trump launched what many are calling a "tariff strike" on one of America's key allies. Dubbed "Mr. 25 Per cent," Trump claimed the tariffs were a response to India's high duties on American products, its continued defence deals with Russia, and its oil trade with Moscow. India, purchasing over 35 per cent of its crude oil from Russia at prices up to $25 cheaper per barrel, has prioritised national interest over external pressure. With long-term rupee-ruble agreements, India saves significantly on foreign reserves and fuel subsidies. Today's DNA analysed US President Trump tariff bulling. Watch Today's Full Episode: DNA में आज की बड़ी खबरें भारत-रूस की दोस्ती..ट्रंप से नहीं देखी गई? एनकाउंटर में 'सावन का सोमवार' दिखता है? सदी का सबसे बड़ा भूकंप..क्या बचा, क्या मिटा? WATCH DNA LIVE : #USTariff #DonaldTrump @pratyushkkhare — Zee News (@ZeeNews) July 30, 2025 The defense angle is just as critical. India has bought $45 billion worth of defense equipment from Russia, compared to $22 billion from the U.S. Despite this, India also imports from France and other countries, showcasing strategic autonomy in defense procurement. Trump's tariff targets, interestingly, align with BRICS nations, including 30 per cent on China and South Africa, 50 per cent on Brazil, and now 25 per cent on India. Analysts suggest that India's rising influence in BRICS and its independent foreign policy irked Trump. India exports heavily to the US in sectors like pharmaceuticals, textiles, agriculture, and jewellery, and all are likely to be impacted. On the import side, civil aircraft, medical devices, and electronics from the US will become more expensive. However, experts believe this tariff may be more of a negotiation tactic. Trump has previously rolled back tariffs post-pressure. With ongoing talks and India exploring new markets like the UK and BRICS, a potential US-India trade compromise still remains on the table.
