Trump: Forbes ‘continues to hang around like a bad disease'
'Not that it really matters, but a terribly untalented writer for badly failing Forbes Magazine, Dan Alexander, who probably can't get a meaningful job in the business, has written so inaccurately about me that it is ridiculous,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. 'Many others also, the media is mostly Fake News, but Forbes doesn't even try to get things right.'
The president said he hasn't spoken to journalists at Forbes 'in years,' claiming the outlet is biased against, writing 'they're so inaccurate (purposely!) about everything.'
'I would have thought Forbes would be DEAD by now, but it continues to hang around like a bad disease,' Trump continued. 'Isn't it owned by a hostile nation? Anyway, that's what happens when you have bad reporters with evil intentions. Eventually the publication dies. I've happily seen it over, and over, again!'
Forbes has been owned since 2014 by Hong Kong-based Integrated Whale Media Investments.
It was the second time in less than a week the president has singled out a reporter at a major publication as part of his effort to discredit news reporting about his administration.
The president has attacked the New York Times, Washington Post and each of the major broadcast news networks over coverage and threatened to have his FCC scrutinize them.
Trump most recently attacked Forbes in 2023, when it dropped the then former president off of its 'wealthiest Americans' list.

Brazil's Lula speaks with China's Xi on BRICS, bilateral opportunities
BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Monday, his office said, adding the two spoke for an hour during which they discussed bilateral business and the role of the BRICS group of states. "Both agreed on the role of the G20 and BRICS in defending multilateralism," the presidency said in a statement. "Both presidents also highlighted their willingness to continue identifying new business opportunities between the two economies." Lula said last week he would initiate a conversation about how to tackle Trump's tariffs with BRICS nations, after Trump dubbed the group "anti-American" and threatened them with additional tariffs.

TACO 又來了？美國再延長 90 日對華關稅緩衝期，或救 Apple iPhone 17 銷售
Apple CEO Tim Cook speaks as US President Donald Trump, (2nd L), Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (2nd R) and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (L) look on in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, on August 6, 2025 to announce that Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in the United States, taking its total pledge to $600 billion over the next four years. 美國總統特朗普再次宣布，將原定於 8 月 12 日大幅上調中國商品關稅的計劃延後 90 天至 11 月中旬。這一決定對 Apple 而言可謂一場「及時雨」，尤其是市場預期 iPhone 17 即將在 9 月 9 日發表，隨後的新機上市及假日銷售旺季來臨之際，避免了突如其來的成本飆升。 延遲生效的關稅原本計劃由 30% 暴增至 145%，若如期實施將對 Apple 在美國市場的定價和毛利造成沉重壓力。據 Apple CEO Tim Cook 早前表示，如果維持現有 30% 水平，第四財季關稅成本僅約 1.1 億美元，遠低於高關稅情況下的預期負擔。 是說，在特朗普宣佈有關本應利好 Apple 的消息之後， APPL 股價也沒有特別異動，可見資本市場對於 TACO 見慣不怪了。 更多內容： Trump extends China tariff deadline by 90 days Trump just handed Apple a huge fiscal Q4 gift Trump delays China tariff increases by another 90 days Apple 承諾在美加投 1,000 億美元，將與 Corning 等全美 10 家企業更深入合作 Apple 關稅成本僅加 9 億美元？Tim Cook 表示暫不加價，但未來難保 特朗普對晶片徵收 100% 關稅，但在美國建廠就可豁免 美國關稅｜郭明錤：Apple 會寧可吸收 25% 的關稅也不要將生產搬回美國 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：

California GOP lawmaker faces taunts and jeers over Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill' at town halls
GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa drew taunts and jeers at two raucous town hall meetings Monday over his support for President Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful bill.' LaMalfa, whose district spans much of the state's northern interior, is the latest Republican to face harsh in-person criticism, as members of the party attempt to sell Trump's sweeping agenda back home during Congress' August break from Washington. Last week, Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood – who also heeded the guidance of the NRCC, the House GOP's campaign arm, to focus the district work period on the president's massive domestic policy bill – met a largely hostile crowd as he was pressed on a range of issues, including the agenda bill that Trump signed into law July 4. LaMalfa calmly address audience members throughout both town halls, even as some attendees cursed at him and railed against his support of the president, shouting 'Liar!' While the morning crowd in Chico had been much louder, the audience in Red Bluff later in the evening was at times just as vocal, especially when LaMalfa expressed skepticism about the role of carbon dioxide in climate change. At both town halls, LaMalfa was pressed over how Trump's agenda, which includes historic cuts to federal support for the social safety net, would affect rural hospitals, particularly those in his district. Other attendees asked questions about transparency around the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files. At the morning event, LaMalfa called it a 'bad look' to have Epstein-related information continue to be 'suppressed.' Still other attendees warned the president's tariffs would harm farmers in California and attacked the congressman's credibility. 'If you're not here to either announce your resignation, why aren't you here to apologize to the farmers of the north state because of your support for the Trump tariffs?' one audience members said at the Chico town hall. 'I'm not gonna do either. Thanks,' LaMalfa replied. 'Do you actually want to talk about something productive?' LaMalfa defended Trump's tariffs, insisting that the United States had been taken advantage of and that the tariffs were being used to negotiate better deals for American farmers. 'And you know, is it the ideal, perfect way to go? No, I hope these tariffs can end soon,' he said Monday evening. 'I want to believe at some point we'lll end up with very low or zero tariffs with all these countries.' LaMalfa also addressed Texas' redistricting effort, warning it is going to start 'a grass fire all across the country.' His comments come as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, has urged lawmakers to draw a new map to put before voters in a November special election. The map, as CNN previously reported, could flip five of Republicans' nine seats in the state if voters approve it in a ballot initiative and could potentially target LaMalfa's seat. For his part, LaMalfa said he didn't support either redistricting push. 'It's really ugly and no matter which side of the aisle you're on, it doesn't look good. It doesn't give you more faith in the political process if legislators draw the lines merely to have an outcome for a partisan win,' the congressman said.
