Here's Who Donald Trump Thinks Will Be His "Heir Apparent" To MAGA
The 79-year-old told CNBC he'd like to run for a third term but probably won't: "I'd like to run. I have the best poll numbers I've ever had. You know why? Because people love the tariffs, they love the trade deals, they love that foreign countries aren't ripping us off anymore."

Soooo, he's not running for a third term? Great. It's wild that this is even a conversation, but it probably means he'll eventually be endorsing someone as his big ol' MAGA heir.

At his LA 2028 Olympic press conference on Tuesday, he was asked if JD Vance would be the "heir apparent to MAGA," and here's what he had to say:

"I think most likely, in all fairness, he's the Vice President. I think Marco is also somebody who would maybe get together with JD in some form," he said. "I also think we have incredible people, some on the stage right here. It's too early, obviously, to talk about it. Certainly, he's doing a great job and probably would be favored at this point."

Op-Ed: The Texas GOP's Gerrymandering Plan Is Rooted In Racism
Source: Chip Somodevilla / Getty It is not by coincidence that in the same week marking the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act being signed into law, Republicans in Texas are threatening to arrest members of the minority party in their efforts to steal political power from Black and Brown people – all in service to their bigoted leader. As explained by President Trump in a Tuesday phone interview with CNBC: 'We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor and good people in Texas. And I won Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know. And we are entitled to five more seats.' What Trump believes 'entitles' him to five more seats is laid bare in the racial makeup of the districts being targeted by Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Republicans in the state legislature. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. They include the current district of Congressman Al Green, which includes a portion of Houston where I was born and raised, where, as noted by Capital B News, the proposed change would drop the Black voting-age population from 39% to 11%. Likewise, the Black voting-age population of Congressman Marc Veasey's Fort Worth-based district would drop 25%. Then there is targeting of Congressman Greg Casar's district in Austin, where last year, he became the first Latino to represent the Texas capital city in Congress. Speaking with the Guardian about the proposed shift in his district that would significantly dilute the voting power of Latinos, Casar explained: 'Even a conservative Supreme Court said central Texas Latinos deserve a district, and that's why my district exists. If Donald Trump is able to suppress Latino voters here in Austin, he'll try to spread that plan across America.' Well, the Texas GOP certainly doesn't want those Latinos in urban dwellings voting anyway, but I suppose if the Latinos in the border region that went GOP in the last election change in the midterms, Texas Republicans will just erase them like the minorities in the big cities, too. Casar's point about Trump's motivations and intentions should not go ignored, though. Source: KAMIL KRZACZYNSKI / Getty Thankfully, his sentiment was recently echoed by Congressman Jasmine Crockett, who told MSNBC, 'This isn't just about the five seats in Texas. This is about a power grab. It's about basically setting the tone for what Donald Trump will try to do throughout the country so that he can suppress the voices of Black and brown folk just so that he can stay in power.' To me, it is quite obvious how inherently racist this all is, yet I'm not hearing many others – including Democratic leadership – make a similar argument to the public. Yes, it is right to dismiss Abbott's plans as 'stupid' and 'just not right.' Stupid because for all of Abbott's barking in service to Bankruptcy Batista in the White House, there isn't much he can do right now with the 50 Texas Democrats in the state legislature that fled to the state of Illinois to deny the quorum needed to convene the special session Abbott called to proceed with the GOP's redistricting plans. vSource: Albany Times Union/Hearst Newspapers / Getty As explained by state Rep. Jolanda Jones on Abbott's arrest threats to the press: 'I'm a lawyer. There is no felony in the Texas penal code for what he says. Respectfully, he's making up some sh-t, okay? He has no legal mechanism. He's putting up smoke and mirrors.' In essence, as Mark Jones, a Rice University political science professor, tells CBS News, Republicans 'can make idle threats, but as long as they are out of state, there's really nothing that they can do.' Ultimately, Abbott has the power to call as many special sessions as he'd like, so it remains to be seen what the Democrats in Texas can pull off, but it would go a long way in the meantime for more messaging around how inherently racist this GOP plan is in its motivation and execution. Governor Greg Abbott is a racist and it is evident in the way he defended the gun violence in Texas by citing what happens in Chicago; how he targeted 'critical race theory' and 'DEI' as a means to just get rid of Black people, and mentions of Black people in as many state-operated entities as possible; why he wouldn't call out how racist rhetoric motivated the murders of migrants and immigrants in the state in years past; why he would pardon a racist killer that texted a minor; why he signed on the most racist immigration bills in the country. It is now more than evident here, as he tries to take what little voting power nonwhite people have in a state where white folks only make up 40% of the population. Donald Trump's racism knows no limits, but in fairness to this power-hungry racist, none of this could have happened if not for Supreme Court Justice John Roberts. Roberts, an acolyte of Ronald Reagan, another racist who promised to 'Make America Great Again,' plotted for decades to gut the Voting Rights Act, and now that he's been successful in those efforts, he has given way to the current racist scheme set up by Trump, Greg Abbott, and Texas Democrats. Am I shocked that not many in the political or media establishment want to talk about how racist this all is? No, but that shouldn't deter the rest of us from putting on the pressure. It's good that some Democrats in other states have stepped up now that their own futures are at stake. Their lack of willingness to engage in this subject is not unlike their reluctance to let the Republican Party dominate Texas politics for decades without fighting. And look at where that got them. Sixty years after the Voting Rights Act became law should not be where we are now, but we are, and the Democratic Party must stop pussyfooting around about calling out Trump and the GOP for who they are, what they do, and why they do it.

Why the oil market does not believe Trump's threats to tariff countries that buy Russian crude
The oil market is shrugging off President Donald Trump's threats to impose heavy tariffs on countries that buy Russian energy exports. Trump has given Russia until Friday to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. If Moscow does not comply, the U.S. will impose 100% "secondary tariffs" on countries that buy Russian exports, the president has said. This would in theory force countries to choose between buying Russian oil or trading with the U.S. India, China and Turkey are the most exposed as the three biggest importers of Russian oil. Trump on Wednesday targeted India with a 25% tariff for buying Russian crude, a much lower rate than the 100% penalty he originally threatened. Oil prices closed 1% lower as traders seem to believe the president is bluffing and the tariff won't really go into effect. "Given the price response to the news, it would appear that current threats are considered a negotiation tactic by Trump and little more," Matt Smith, an oil analyst at Kpler, told CNBC. India is Russia's biggest oil customer, importing about 1.7 million barrels per day, according to Kpler data. If Trump follows through on the tariff, oil prices would jump because barrels that Russia exports to India cannot be easily rerouted to other destinations, Smith said. Moscow would have to shut in some production, which would take supply out of the global market, he said. But the market senses right now that Trump is going to back down, said Bob McNally, president of Rapidan Energy. The additional tariff against India does not go into effect for 21 days, providing time for the countries to reach an agreement. "Traders believe that there will be a deal, that it really won't get into effect," McNally told CNBC. "And if it did, India would probably just pay the tariffs and keep importing Russian oil," he said of traders' thinking. The Trump administration has not always backed up its words with actions when it comes to energy sanctions, said Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, in a note to clients. Iran's oil exports, for example, remain elevated despite declarations from the White House that it is imposing a maximum pressure campaign, Croft said. "Our base case is that Russia will resist making serious concessions, believing that President Trump will blink at imposing measures that could push energy prices materially higher and that the White House's newfound support for Ukraine will dissipate," Croft told clients in the July 30 note. Steep tariffs on Russian oil buyers would jeopardize Trump's push to reduce energy prices. The president said last month that he wants U.S. crude prices to fall below $64 per barrel. In an interview with CNBC Tuesday, the president said low oil prices would force Russia to end its war in Ukraine. "If you sanction hard enough that Russia can't sell its oil, prices at the pump will soar — that's just the barrel math," McNally said. Trump seemed to acknowledge Wednesday that there would not be ceasefire by his deadline. He said his special envoy Steve Witkoff "had a highly productive meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin." "Everyone agrees this War must come to a close, and we will work towards that in the days and weeks to come," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. Trump and Putin have agreed in principle to meet in the coming days, according to the Kremlin. If Putin refuses to make concessions, Trump will likely continue down the road of energy sanctions, McNally said. This includes targeting big importers of Russian oil, namely China. "He will have to go gingerly because of the blowback risk in terms of higher oil prices," McNally said. "He has to do so in a way that isn't counterproductive and that's a tricky problem to solve."

Trump Demands New U.S. Census That Excludes Undocumented Immigrants
President Trump said on Thursday that he had ordered the Commerce Department to begin work on a new census that excludes undocumented immigrants. A new census would be a significant departure from a process stipulated by the Constitution to occur every 10 years. Historically, the census has counted all U.S. residents regardless of their immigration status, a process that helps determine both the allotment of congressional seats and billions of dollars in federal money sent to states. 'People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS,' Mr. Trump wrote in a post on social media. The push comes as Mr. Trump and his allies are pressing Republican-led states to redraw their congressional maps to benefit the party. Congressional maps are redrawn after the census is completed based on the new data. The next census is scheduled for 2030. Mr. Trump tried a similar move in 2020 to keep undocumented immigrants out of the census, but a federal court rejected that attempt, and the Supreme Court declined to intervene, saying at the time that doing so was premature. The president's efforts to exert pressure on the Census Bureau were also unsuccessful. A spokesman for the Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Later in the day, Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to travel to Indianapolis to meet with Gov. Mike Braun of Indiana and other top Republicans in the state to discuss redistricting. Mr. Trump and his allies have grown frustrated with their resistance to redraw maps to benefit Republicans. Mr. Trump and his allies are engaged in other pressure campaigns in Texas, Missouri and Ohio as they try to squeeze out any additional seats before the midterm elections next year. With Republicans holding only a narrow majority in the House, they are worried that Democrats will regain control, start investigations into Mr. Trump and his administration, and hobble any legislative goals.
