Donald Trump's new White House portrait criticised for 'Satanic theme'
A fresh image of Donald Trump has been unveiled in the Oval Office - but it's already causing a stir online, with many branding it as "too accurate" A controversial new portrait of Donald Trump has sparked fierce criticism over its alleged 'Satanic themes'. Sebastian Gorka, the deputy assistant to the president, revealed a fresh image of Trump, which is now displayed in the Oval Office. The artwork shows Trump striding through rows of American flags with an orange glow behind him - compared to flames by critics - and was teased as just "one of the new" Trump-themed artworks decorating the White House. The new portrait comes amid reports of how Trump's Ukraine plans has prompted a Pentagon peace summit with UK military chiefs. The new portrait was created by Vanessa Horabuena, a self-described Christian worship painter. the Express. Not everyone was impressed with the portrait, with some branding it as "too accurate" and others as "too orange." Project Liberal questioned, "Why is the country on fire behind him?". This feeling resonated with many, as another user remarked, "fits. America is on fire in the background and Trump walks away." Others pointed to Trump's collection of self-portraits in the White House, especially after reports last week that portraits of Obama and Bush have been moved to a rarely-used stairwell, reports the Mirror US. Ignited uproar "The man can't get enough of himself," one user slammed. Another added: "As per usual, it's all about his ego." Another person slated the portrait's poor resemblance to Trump's real appearance. "Did you request the portrait to appear 60 lbs lighter than reality?" an X user questioned. The Mirror reached out to both the White House and the artist for a response, but none was immediately available. Trump's portraits and paintings displayed around the White House have previously sparked controversy, and a recent attempt to showcase them to other world leaders didn't go as smoothly as Trump had hoped. Assassination attempt His iconic photo from the Butler assassination attempt, featuring him with his fist raised in the air, is also a source of pride for the president, who often shows it off to visitors. Before a meeting in the East Room yesterday, the seven European heads of state gathered for a photograph with Trump and Zelensky in the Grand Foyer of the White House. As they stood together, the president gestured towards a painting depicting his bloodied ear following an assassination attempt during his 2024 campaign in Pennsylvania. "That was not a good day. Not a great day. See the picture?" Trump said, pointing to a wall on the group's right where the large painting is hung. However, not all the leaders shared Trump's enthusiasm for the image. Patriotic portraits Some of the leaders briefly glanced over, appearing to show minimal interest, while others, like French President Emmanuel Macron, continued to look straight ahead. The Republican leader has been giving the White House a makeover, including refurbishing the Rose Garden and adding numerous gold accents throughout the Oval Office. A substantial portion of these changes includes swapping out portraits of his predecessors. In a recent snap shared on X, Trump's patriotic portrait is proudly showcased between former First Lady Laura Bush and another first lady, nabbing the spot previously held by his long-standing adversary, Hillary Clinton. This comes after Joe Rogan revealed a startling new conspiracy theory about a potential assassination attempt on Trump in 2024.

Texas Republicans approve Trump-backed congressional map
The Texas House on Wednesday approved redrawn congressional maps that would give Republicans a bigger edge in 2026, pushing through a partisan gerrymander that triggered weeks of protests by Democrats and a national battle over redistricting. The approval came at the urging of President Donald Trump, who pushed for the mid-decade revision of congressional maps to give his party a better chance at holding onto the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The maps need to be approved by the GOP-controlled state Senate and signed by Republican Governor Greg Abbott before they become official. But the Texas House vote had presented the best chance for Democrats to derail the redraw. Democratic legislators delayed the vote by two weeks by fleeing Texas earlier this month, returning only after being placed under round-the-clock police surveillance to ensure attendance at Wednesday's session. The approval of the Texas maps on an 88-52 party-line vote is likely to prompt California's Democratic-controlled state Legislature this week to approve a new House map creating five new Democratic-leaning districts. But the California map would require voter approval in November. Democrats plan to challenge the Texas map in court, accusing Republicans of prioritising partisan advantage over urgent legislation, such as responding to last month's deadly floods. Republicans have been open about their political motives. State Representative Todd Hunter, who authored the legislation, said: 'The underlying goal of this plan is straightforward: improve Republican political performance.' After nearly eight hours of debate, he summarised the issue as 'nothing more than a partisan fight.' Democrats said the disagreement was about more than partisanship. 'In a democracy, people choose their representatives,' State Representative Chris Turner said. 'This bill flips that on its head and lets politicians in Washington, D.C., choose their voters.' State Representative John H. Bucy blamed the president. 'This is Donald Trump's map,' Bucy said. 'It clearly and deliberately manufactures five more Republican seats in Congress because Trump himself knows that the voters are rejecting his agenda.' The Republican power play has already triggered a national tit-for-tat battle as Democratic state lawmakers prepared to gather in California on Thursday to revise that state's map to create five new Democratic seats. 'This is a new Democratic Party, this is a new day, this is new energy out there all across this country,' California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom said on a call with reporters on Wednesday. 'And we're going to fight fire with fire.' A new California map would need to be approved by voters in a special election in November because that state normally operates with a non-partisan commission drawing the map to avoid the very sort of political brawl that is playing out. Newsom himself backed the 2008 ballot measure to create that process, as did former President Barack Obama. But in a sign of Democrats' stiffening resolve, Obama Tuesday night backed Newsom's bid to redraw the California map, saying it was a necessary step to stave off the GOP's Texas move. 'I think that approach is a smart, measured approach,' Obama said during a fundraiser for the Democratic Party's main redistricting arm. The only way opponents could stop the new Texas map would be to argue that it violates the Voting Rights Act, which requires minority communities be kept together so they can choose representatives of their choice. Democrats noted that, in every decade since the 1970s, courts have found that Texas' legislature did violate the Voting Rights Act in redistricting, and that civil rights groups had an active lawsuit making similar allegations against the 2021 map that Republicans drew up. Republicans contend the new map creates more new majority-minority seats than the previous one. Democrats and some civil rights groups have countered that the GOP does that through mainly a numbers game that leads to halving the number of the state's House seats that will be represented by a Black representative. The GOP used a parliamentary manoeuvre to take a second and final vote on the map so it wouldn't have to reconvene for one more vote after Senate approval. House Speaker Dustin Burrows announced as debate started that doors to the chamber were locked and any member leaving was required to have a permission slip. The doors were only unlocked after final passage more than eight hours later. One Democrat who refused the 24-hour police monitoring, State Representative Nicole Collier, had been confined to the House floor since Monday night. Republicans issued civil arrest warrants to bring the Democrats back after they left the state August 3, and Republican Governor Greg Abbott asked the state Supreme Court to oust several Democrats from office. The lawmakers also face a fine of $500 for every day they were absent.

Elon Musk must face lawsuit claiming he ran illegal $1 million election lottery
Aug 20 (Reuters) - Elon Musk was ordered on Wednesday by a federal judge to face a lawsuit by voters accusing the world's richest person of defrauding them into signing a petition to support the U.S. Constitution for a chance to win his $1 million-a-day giveaway. U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman in Austin, Texas said Jacqueline McAferty plausibly alleged in her proposed class action that Musk and his political action committee America PAC wrongly induced her to provide personal identifying information as part of the giveaway, late in the 2024 election campaign. Lawyers for Musk and America PAC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Musk founded America PAC to support Republican Donald Trump's successful 2024 presidential run. McAferty, an Arizona resident, said Musk and America PAC induced voters in seven battleground states to sign his petition by promising that $1 million recipients would be chosen randomly, as in a lottery, though the voters had no real chance to collect. She said voters who signed were also required to provide names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers. In seeking a dismissal, Musk listed several "red flags" as proof he had not run an illegal lottery. He said these included statements that the $1 million recipients were "selected to earn" the money and expected to become America PAC spokespeople, defeating the idea that the payment was a "prize." But the judge cited other statements suggesting the defendants were "awarding" the $1 million, and the money could be "won." "It is plausible that plaintiff justifiably relied on those statements to believe that defendants were objectively offering her the chance to enter a random lottery--even if that is not what they subjectively intended to do," Pitman wrote. The judge was appointed to the bench by President Barack Obama in 2014. Musk had also rejected the suggestion that petition signers suffered harm by providing contact information. Pitman said an expert in political data brokerage could testify what that information was worth for voters in battleground states. The lawsuit was filed on Election Day, Nov. 5, 2024. A day earlier, a Philadelphia judge refused to end Musk's giveaway, saying that city's top prosecutor failed to show it was an illegal lottery. Musk is a Texas resident, and his electric car company Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab is based in Austin. The case is McAferty v Musk et al, U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas, No. 24-01346.
