Trump Shares Bizarre Meme of Himself and JD Vance Chasing Obama in OJ Simpson White Car Chase
The photo was initially posted by Donald Trump Jr. on his Instagram page on Tuesday (July 22). It shows Obama behind the wheel of Simpson's white Ford Bronco as the two Republicans chase him in police cars. The president reposted the photo on his Instagram page on Saturday (July 26). He also shared it on Truth Social, his social media platform.
The image depicted the infamous slow-paced chase of OJ Simpson in Southern California. Simpson was accused of killing his former wife and her friend and was later acquitted.
The post captured the attention of millions of netizens worldwide. Several of them urged the release of Epstein's files in the comments section. A few social media users claimed that the President is trying to distract the public's attention. The comments ranged from "Give us Epstein" and "quit distracting Donnie" to "release the Epstein files, and we will see who is really going to be chased". Here are a few of them:
Very embarrassing for the country. How about releasing the Epstein files?
I bet that is how your face looked when you were flying into Epstein's island.
All the other cars chasing Obama, JD Vance, and Trump feel guilty of being on the island.
No one is forgetting about the Epstein files.
Why are you afraid to release the Epstein files?
Critics argued that by sharing this meme, Trump aimed to divert public focus from ongoing demands to release investigation materials related to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. Both Republicans and Democrats are pressuring for the disclosure of these files, and the President's meme is seen as a potential attempt to distract attention from this bipartisan issue.
In recent weeks, Trump and the members of his administration made several attempts to shift the focus from the Epstein files to the Russiagate investigation. Last week, the President posted an AI-generated video of Obama being arrested in the Oval Office. The fake video shows the former President behind bars.
Trump posted the meme hours after he announced his visit to Scotland on Truth Social. He is scheduled to visit both the Aberdeen and Turnberry golf properties. The US President will sit down with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

US Senate committee backs $1 billion for Ukraine in Pentagon spending bill

REUTERS/Elizabeth Frantz/File Photo WASHINGTON - A powerful U.S. Senate committee approved a military spending bill on Thursday that includes about $1 billion to support Ukraine, despite President Donald Trump's administration having asked Congress to eliminate such funding in its budget request. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved $852 billion for the Department of Defense in the fiscal year ending on Sept. 30, 2026, which is $21.7 billion, or 2.6%, more than the Republican president requested earlier this year. The committee voted 26-3 to send the spending measure for a vote in the full Senate, with strong support from both Democrats and Trump's fellow Republicans. "Not only the prior administration, but this administration as well, have underestimated the level of challenge that we have," said Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who chairs the panel's defense subcommittee. The bill includes $800 million for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), and $225 million for the Baltic Security Initiative, much of which ends up supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia's invasion. "I would say support for Ukraine is a billion dollars," Senator Chris Coons of Delaware, the defense spending subcommittee's top Democrat, told reporters ahead of the Appropriations Committee meeting. Trump's budget request, and the defense appropriations bill passed by the House of Representatives earlier this year, did not include any funding for the USAI, which funds security intelligence, training, equipment and supplies for Ukraine.

And Trump himself recently has grown more frustrated with Moscow's refusal to agree to a ceasefire. He has recently announced deadlines for Russia to show progress toward ending the war or face new sanctions - despite in the past speaking about having a good relationship with Putin. Both McConnell and Coons stressed that the U.S. is learning from Ukraine while supporting its military. "Shutting off engagement with Ukraine would undermine our military's efforts to prepare for the modern battlefield," McConnell said during the committee meeting. The war in Ukraine has evolved into the most-drone intensive conflict ever, and the use of drone technology has helped Ukraine to deal with Russia's advantages in troop numbers, artillery and tanks. To become law, the appropriations bill must pass the full Senate and then be reconciled with the House of Representatives bill, which adhered to the Trump administration's $831.5 billion Pentagon spending request and did not include Ukraine aid. After that, it would be sent to the White House for Trump to sign into law or veto. REUTERS

Sheinbaum says Mexico secures new tariff reprieve, 90 days to strike US trade deal
MEXICO CITY: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday (July 31) that she secured a pause on new tariffs coming into effect and 90 days to work on a trade deal in a call with US President Donald Trump. The agreement avoids the 30 per cent tariffs that had been set to come into force on Friday. Speaking in a regular press conference after the announcement, Sheinbaum said the pause safeguards the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and means goods compliant with the pact will continue to be exempt from the 25 per cent tariffs Trump imposed earlier this year due to the fentanyl crisis. Approximately 85 per cent of Mexican exports comply with the rules of origin outlined in the USMCA, according to Mexico's economy ministry. Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard, speaking alongside Sheinbaum, said Thursday's agreement brought the countries closer to securing a long-term trade agreement. "All of this was achieved without a single concession on Mexico's part," said Ebrard. "It's a great achievement." Both Sheinbaum and Ebrard stressed that the pause means Mexico continues to be one of the countries in the world with the most preferential access to the US market.

Trump wants deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine by Aug 8, US tells UN
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox US President Donald Trump has threatened Russia with tariffs and other measures if Moscow fails to show progress towards ending its war in Ukraine. UNITED NATIONS, United States - US President Donald Trump has made clear that he wants a deal to end Russia's war in Ukraine by Aug 8, the United States told the United Nations Security Council on July 31. 'Both Russia and Ukraine must negotiate a ceasefire and durable peace. It is time to make a deal. President Trump has made clear this must be done by Aug 8. The United States is prepared to implement additional measures to secure peace,' senior US diplomat John Kelley told the 15-member council. Mr Trump said on July 29 that the United States would start imposing tariffs and other measures on Russia '10 days from today' if Moscow showed no progress towards ending its war in Ukraine. Kyiv and Moscow have held three rounds of talks in Istanbul this year that yielded exchanges of prisoners and bodies, but no breakthrough to defuse the more than three-year conflict. 'We intend to continue the negotiations in Istanbul,' Russia's deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy told the council, but he added: 'Despite the meetings in Istanbul, in the West, the war party did not go away... We continue hearing voices of those who think that diplomacy is just a way of criticising Russia and exerting pressure on it.' Ukraine's deputy UN Ambassador, Ms Khrystyna Hayovyshyn, said Russia must be confronted with 'unity, resolve and action.' 'We seek a comprehensive, just and lasting peace grounded in the principles of the UN Charter and nothing less. We repeat - a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire is essential. It is the first step to halting Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine,' she told the council. REUTERS
