Bleach Blonde ‘MAGA Malfoy' Turns Heads During White House Press Briefing
Link Lauren, the latest fringe internet figure welcomed to the White House press room, was deemed 'MAGA Malfoy' by a swarm of X users who roasted him for his bright white hair and obsequious questions Tuesday.
'You're a very high profile young mother who seems to juggle and balance it all beautifully,' Lauren said while fawning over Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. 'What advice do you have to young parents out there who are starting their careers having kids, building families, and trying to find that balance so desperately?'
'Well, it's a great question,' Leavitt, 27, said.
When a clip of the sycophantic interaction was posted on X, users went wild.
'This literally looks like an SNL skit,' said one commenter.
'Draco didn't get the redemption arc in this universe I fear,' said another.
'He speaks in Parseltongue but it's just trickle-down economics,' added a third.
It's unclear whether Lauren is aware of his Slytherin-like qualities, though he ironically made reference to J.K. Rowling's iconic series Sunday when he posted that 'conservative influencers are out here collecting selfies with Taylor Lorenz like Harry Potter collecting horcruxes.'
Link gained internet fame after nabbing a job as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s paid senior advisor in November 2023, before Kennedy dropped out of the presidential race. The Washington Post reported that at only 25, Link TikToked his way onto RFK Jr.'s campaign team and at the time called himself an 'independent thinker.'
He also insisted 'I never want to just cover one side of the aisle.'
But today, he's joined the MAGA faithful just like Draco Malfoy himself joined Voldemort's Death Eaters.
He posted Sunday that the Democratic Party is 'run by spineless, feckless cowards who want to destroy the fabric of our nation.'
While he wandered around the White House grounds Monday, he filmed a vlog for his hundreds of thousands of social media followers and slammed former President Joe Biden.
'The White House is a lot nicer than it used to be than the last four years under Joe Biden, where it was a cess pool, with topless trans people on the White House lawn, cocaine everywhere, and Jill Biden's self tanner ruining every single chair in the Oval Office,' he said.
Link, who is openly gay, has also paralleled Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling by aiming attacks at transgender people. He's been vocal about preventing transgender women from participating in women's sports and on March 31 last year he criticized Biden for allegedly speaking more about Transgender Day of Visibility than Easter.
'It's very clear to me at this point that the White House wants to replace faith, religion, and family with gender ideology and identity politics,' the Texas-born influencer ranted, calling trans people in media 'obnoxious' and 'unlikeable.'
Link's assaults are harmonious with the White House's 'pro-natalist' push for Americans to have more children.
Not only has Trump severely demonized transgender people, the president has recently launched initiatives aimed at making it more attractive for young people to start families.
Trump is currently soliciting ideas on how to get women to procreate—with ideas such as a $5,000 baby bonus or a 'motherhood medal' reportedly being floated in White House circles.

Ukraine left scrambling as Trump shifts toward Putin after Alaska summit
LONDON — Ukraine and its allies were scrambling Sunday to respond to President Donald Trump's apparent shift toward Vladimir Putin's hardline position after their summit in Alaska. Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, set to visit Washington on Monday, warned that the Russian leader was complicating efforts to end the war by refusing to halt the brutal fighting before holding further talks. "Russia rebuffs numerous calls for a ceasefire and has not yet determined when it will stop the killing. This complicates the situation," Zelenskyy said in a post on X late Saturday. He added that he would have calls with allies in the day ahead as he prepares for his meeting with Trump. His remarks came as Trump signaled he was reversing his insistence on a ceasefire and instead pursuing a permanent peace deal — aligning the United States with the Kremlin rather than Kyiv and its European backers. Zelenskyy's message was accompanied by a joint statement from the leaders of eight Nordic and Baltic countries, stressing that a lasting peace 'requires a ceasefire,' while calling for 'credible security guarantees for Ukraine.' That is one area where Trump appears to have taken a step toward a position more aligned with the wishes of Ukraine and Europe. Trump directly engaged with Zelenskyy and European leaders by phone early Saturday morning about the U.S. taking part in a potential NATO-like security guarantee for Ukraine as part of a deal with Russia, two senior administration officials and three sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News. 'European and American security guarantees were discussed,' one source familiar with the discussions said. 'U.S. troops on the ground was not discussed or entertained by [Trump].' The security guarantees would be made in the scenario that Russia were to invade Ukraine, again, after a would-be peace deal, the sources said. The sources said that those protections, as discussed by the White House, would not include NATO membership — despite European leaders saying in a joint statement Saturday that Ukraine should be given the right to seek NATO membership. As Ukraine and Europe work out how to navigate these dramatic shifts from Trump, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will Sunday jointly chair a virtual meeting of the so-called 'coalition of the willing,' which includes more than 30 countries working together to support Ukraine. For civilians on the ground, still under Russian attack even as the diplomatic maneuvering played out, it was not just the substance but the optics of the Alaska summit that caused frustration. 'I was hoping that the U.S. wouldn't roll out the red carpet to the enemy,' Kyiv resident Natalya Lypei said Saturday. 'How can you welcome a tyrant like this?'

Trump moving closer to decision on making weed less criminal in eyes of federal government: sources
It isn't quite the ruckus involving the Jeffrey Epstein docs, but there is a quieter, more important conflict inside Trump world over weed — namely whether the president should legalize it and just how legal it should be, The Post has learned And according to my sources, Trump is in a compromising mood. He appears to be moving closer to making a decision in the coming weeks to make weed something less criminal in the eyes of the federal government. Advertisement Trump is ready, several MAGA pro-pot sources tell me, to make a decision on at least reclassifying weed as a so-called Schedule III drug, putting it on par with semi-controlled substances like anabolic steroids. Not to get too far into the proverbial weeds, but Pot Inc. wants marijuana reclassified so it's not being lumped in with hard drugs like heroin — and it's a drama these pages first covered in late April. That way this booming business continues to grow with access to the banking system as cultural norms continue to shift and the majority of Americans see pot as no more dangerous than booze. Tax revenues would flow into federal coffers as the industry expands. Trump appears to be moving closer to making a decision in the coming weeks to make weed something less criminal in the eyes of the federal government. AFP via Getty Images There are headwinds. Many MAGA types believe pot is leading to cultural rot. Breeding a population of stoners isn't good for the country since the pot today is far stronger than the joints Cheech & Chong rolled years ago. Advertisement Trump barely drinks and personally hates anything that dulls the senses. He's a law-and-order guy — witness his takeover of DC policing over quality-of-life issues, including the persistent smell of pot almost everywhere you walk. That said, the president seems to be leaning toward a compromise on federal legalization, including allowing for medical use based on evidence of its efficacy in severe pain relief. He's also said to be compelled by the business and the political argument of going soft on pot. He's done that before, doing his famous 180 on crypto for votes during the 2024 election and delivering with deregulation that is propelling the blockchain industry. Advertisement There are an estimated 17 million-plus Americans who use pot regularly, and Trump understands math. The pot lobby could help in key races as the midterms approach. MAGA loyalist Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman and Trump's initial pick for attorney general, is one who believes embracing pot would further expand Trump's base among working-class people of all races, where pot u sage is most prevalent. 'President Trump would cement [these voters] for Republicans for 25 years by 'rescheduling' marijuana,' Gaetz said. 'Obama always wanted to do it but didn't have the balls.' Gaetz added that Biden with his 'autopen presidency' was too busy destroying the country to care. 'This is yet another opportunity for Trump to notch a generational win where Ob- ama and Joe Biden failed.' Advertisement Longtime hedge fund trader Marc Cohodes is even more adamant about legalizing marijuana. He is both an investor in Pot Inc. and a medical user after shoulder surgery. 'If he totally legalizes, Trump will totally destroy the Democratic Party,' Cohodes tells me. 'Polls show that most Americans want this legalized. Trump will turn the GOP into the people's party.' Trump's options include totally 'declassifying' pot, making it 100% legal in the eyes of federal law. He could also 'reschedule' pot as a 'Schedule III' controlled substance, along the lines of anabolic steroids and other drugs that the feds have modestly blessed for specific medical-related uses. If he does nothing, pot would r emain a Schedule I drug, where the federal government views it as a highly controlled substance. Up to $60 billion annually The various distinctions matter for the pot industry, which is estimated to rake in between $40 billion and $60 billion a year. While marijuana is fully legal or decriminalized in most states, without the federal government taking it off the Schedule I list it can't be 'banked.' Wall Street shies away from underwriting the stock of any company that in Pot Inc. parlance 'touches the plant.' If Wall Street can begin underwriting pot stocks, financing US-based growers, for example, Pot Inc. could grow exponentially. Still, legalization skeptics on Trump's team will have a say. New Drug Enforcement Administration chief Terry Cole is a veteran at an agency with a long anti-pot bias. Advertisement Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the head of the Department of Health and H uman Services, has spoken about decriminalizing weed but also how there are negative health effects from consuming the 'high-potency' stuff. Many critics say today's bud has hallucinogenic effects, and could be a gateway to more dangerous stuff like opioids. That's why Gaetz thinks Trump won't go for full legalization and allow it only for medical use. Ditto for longtime Trump political guru Roger Stone. 'I don't think he ever completely de-schedules it, which is what I would do,' Stone tells me. Advertisement Cohodes says not going all the way would be a mistake. First, banking for Pot Inc. would remain difficult if it is only re- scheduled. Plus, making it totally legal could help decimate a major source of income for the various drug cartels. It would be age-restricted by the government. 'By eliminating prohibition, illegal cartels get removed because legal businesses not currently banked become bankable,' Cohodes said.

Who really suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Two decades on, Krauthammer's coinage has been appropriated, rebranded, and defined down — way down. 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is now flung at anyone who objects to President Trump's conduct or opposes his policies. The term is no longer reserved for over-the-top expressions of revulsion — like actor Robert De Niro using a televised appearance at the Tony Awards to Advertisement No — today 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is used as an all-purpose put-down to deride any Trump critics, including those who stick to serious, fact-based analysis. I've lost count of all the times I've been Advertisement A woman seen at the Iowa State Fairgrounds on July 3, when President Trump was speaking there. Scott Olson/Getty The word 'syndrome' notwithstanding, this is merely political trash talk, popularized by Trump and his allies as a way to wave off criticism without having to engage it. Instead of refuting arguments or defending policy, the magic letters 'TDS' turn disagreement into proof of mental defect. Yet if 'derangement' means the loss of proportion and judgment Krauthammer was getting at, then the most severe cases aren't among Trump's critics. They're in the ranks of his most ardent loyalists. The real Trump Derangement Syndrome shows up in three telltale symptoms. First is the cult-like worship that treats Trump as infallible — his acolytes profess adoration not only for what he does, but for whatever could flow from him. Emblematic of that mindset are the Advertisement Second is the abandonment of principles that once seemed non-negotiable.

EMILY ELCONIN/NYT Third is the unsettling delight so many supporters take in Trump's most outrageous behavior — a kind of giddy worship that equates offensiveness with authenticity. Such brazenness has been a hallmark of his political career — from mocking John McCain's Vietnam War heroism to charging undocumented immigrants with ' Advertisement Meanwhile, they reflexively use 'TDS!' as a go-to put-down for anything from mild disagreement to serious moral critique, framing opposition not as argument but as pathology — an easy, cheap discredit. Yes, plenty of Trump-haters go overboard — but in MAGA circles, the 'TDS' tag is sprayed far wider, hitting thoughtful critics just as readily as the genuinely unhinged. What is truly alarming is how some have sought to legalize that insult by casting dissent as disease. In Minnesota this spring, five Republican senators proposed a bill that would Krauthammer's original point in 2003 was that derangement is the breakdown of proportion and prudence. That breakdown isn't found among critics who quote Trump accurately and challenge his claims. The most alarming political derangement today affects those who cannot conceive that there are legitimate reasons to be appalled by the president, and so explain anti-Trump dissent as a sign of mental weakness. If reason is the measure, then those who shout 'TDS!' the loudest are the ones most in need of treatment. Jeff Jacoby can be reached at
