Trump Perfumes And Colognes Reactions
In a recent post on Truth Social, the president announced Trump Fragrances, including Victory 45-47. Forget about possible ethics violations — this is "all about Winning, Strength, and Success."
Naturally, I headed over to the website, where I saw the Fight Fight Fight perfume/cologne for $199 and the Victory 45-47 perfume/cologne for $249. What a steal!
When I clicked on the Victory 45-47 perfume to find more information about the scent — floral, fruity, woodsy, etc. — I couldn't find anything beyond "captures confidence, beauty, and unstoppable determination." Even if customers don't know what the hell they're buying, they can rest assured that it's a "sophisticated, subtly feminine scent."
But wait! There's more! If that wasn't enough to convince you, he filmed a short infomercial that looks like it belongs on late-night '90s TV.
Obviously, people had a lot to say about all this:

Texas Republicans set to approve Trump-backed new congressional map after lengthy fight
Aug 20 (Reuters) - Texas Republicans on Wednesday will take up a new state congressional map intended to flip five Democratic-held U.S. House seats in next year's midterm elections, after dozens of Democratic lawmakers ended a two-week walkout that had temporarily blocked its passage. Republican state legislators have undertaken a rare mid-decade redistricting at the behest of President Donald Trump, who is seeking to improve his party's odds of preserving its narrow U.S. House of Representatives majority despite political headwinds. The gambit has triggered a national redistricting war, with governors of both parties threatening to initiate similar efforts in other states. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom is advancing an effort to neutralize Texas' move by redrawing his state's map to flip five Republican seats, pitting the nation's most populous Democratic state against Texas, its most populous Republican one. The Texas map aims to flip five Democratic seats. Other Republican states including Ohio, Florida, Indiana and Missouri are moving forward with or considering their own redistricting efforts, as are Democratic states such as Maryland and Illinois. Redistricting typically occurs every 10 years after the U.S. Census to account for population changes, and mid-decade redistricting has historically been unusual. In many states, lawmakers manipulate the lines to favor their party over the opposition, a practice known as gerrymandering. Texas' new map was listed on Wednesday's schedule for the state House, though it was not clear how quickly Republicans could move to approve it. The bill is still subject to debate on the floor, and Democrats can also introduce amendments to be voted upon. Democrats fled the state earlier this month to deny the Texas House a quorum. In response, Republicans undertook extraordinary measures to try to force them home, including filing lawsuits to remove them from office and issuing arrest warrants. The walkout ended when Democrats voluntarily returned on Monday, saying they had accomplished their goals of blocking a vote during a first special legislative session and persuading Democrats in other states to take retaliatory steps. Republican House leadership assigned state law enforcement officers to monitor Democrats to ensure they would not leave the state again. One Democratic representative, Nicole Collier, slept in the Capitol building on Monday night rather than accept a police escort. Republicans, including Trump, have openly acknowledged that the new map is aimed at increasing their political power. The party currently controls 25 of the state's 38 districts under a Republican-drawn map that was passed four years ago. Democrats and civil rights groups have said the new map dilutes the voting power of racial minorities in violation of federal law and have vowed to sue. Nationally, Republicans captured the 435-seat House in 2024 by only three seats. The party of the president historically loses House seats in the first midterm election, and Trump's approval ratings have sagged since he took office in January.

Live updates: Texas GOP poised to vote on new gerrymandered district map
The first domino in a growing national redistricting battle is likely to fall Wednesday as the Republican-controlled Texas legislature is expected to pass a new congressional map creating five new winnable seats for the GOP. The vote follows prodding by President Donald Trump, eager to stave off a midterm defeat that would deprive his party of control of the House of Representatives, and weeks of delays after dozens of Texas Democratic state lawmakers fled the state in protest. Some Democrats returned Monday, only to be assigned round-the-clock police escorts to ensure their attendance at Wednesday's session. Those who refused to be monitored were confined to the House floor, where they protested on a livestream Tuesday night. Furious national Democrats have vowed payback for the Texas map, with California's legislature poised to approve new maps adding more Democratic-friendly seats later this week. The map would still need to be approved by that state's voters in November.

The rundown: President Donald Trump has said that Ukraine will not be able to reclaim Crimea nor become a member of NATO if Kyiv wishes to sign a peace deal with Russia. Find out more. Why it matters: Trump wrote on Truth Social that Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky "can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight." Trump appeared to blame former President Barack Obama for Ukraine's loss of Crimea, and said there would be "no going into NATO by Ukraine" in any agreement brokered by the U.S. to end the war. "No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!" Trump said.
