McDonald's truck rolled out for fast-food loving Donald Trump on state visit
A White House official confirmed the mobile truck - which had the McDonald's logo and writing in Arabic - was in Riyadh, during the president's state visit to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia appeared to woo Donald Trump with one of his favourite cuisines - American fast food. A McDonald's food truck was unbelievably spotted on the US President's trip to the Gulf nation this week.
Saudi Arabia rolled out the mobile and operation truck as part of it's lavish display for Trump's first state visit of his second term. A White House official confirmed the mobile truck - which had the McDonald's logo and writing in Arabic - was in Riyadh, during the President's visit. Images of the bizarre truck and Saudi effort to make the President feel right at home went viral on social media across the globe.
Trump has made his love of fast food and burgers no secret and his declarations of love for deep fried food has appeared to pay off while abroad.
The President was met with a glamorous state banquet and a grand procession through Riyadh but this truck has appeared to catch people's eyes.
Shocked people blasted the special McDonald's appearance with one person on X saying "how's this even real life?" According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court.
Trump has shared his love for McDonald's several times before, and is partial to Big Macs and Filet-O-Fish sandwiches. He even requested it when he fell ill with COVID-19 in 2020.
Other fast food highlights from his first term included the President serving McDonald's to a group of athletes. He dished up a McDonald's buffet to the Clemson Tigers in 2019, a team of university students who were national college football champions that year.
Trump even served people from a McDonald's drive-thru window during his 2024 Presidential election campaign. He put the signature apron one and even manned the chip station and filled takeaway bags.
He took a shift at a branch in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, and said: "It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast. I do appreciate it a little more. You say, 'Give me French fries.' I'll never forget this experience."
Trump also often tasks staff to pick up McDonald's to have on his plane. This love for greasy food prompted the Commander-in-chief to make one change to his orders to stop piling on the pounds.
The US President was able to shed more than two stones after removing the buns from his burgers. FOX News host Sean Hannity said: "If he has a burger now, he usually doesn't have it with a bun."
Trump is also well known for his love of Diet Coke and is said to drink more than 12 cans of the fizzy drink a day. The President even has a cola delivery button for on his desk in the Oval Office.

Putin tells Trump Russia ‘will have to respond' to Ukraine drone attack
Donald Trump has spoken for more than an hour with Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, but he conceded the talks would not lead 'to immediate peace' in Ukraine, and warned that Russia would respond to Ukraine's successful attacks this week on its airfields. The US president, who repeatedly claimed he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours during his election campaign, did not attempt to discourage the Russian leader from retaliation, according to his description of the discussion on his Truth Social platform. He noted instead that Putin had offered to participate in US talks with Iran about its nuclear programme, which the Trump claimed Tehran had been 'slowwalking'. In separate remarks on Wednesday, Putin once again ruled out a comprehensive ceasefire in Ukraine, claiming that it would just give Kyiv time to regroup and rearm, while Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy described Moscow's peace proposals presented earlier this week as nothing more than an 'ultimatum'. The comments from both leaders confirmed that negotiations in Istanbul on Monday had made no headway towards a truce, but the two sides signalled progress on other issues, including the transfer of captives and bodies. Russia said it was 'working' on the return of more than 300 Ukrainian children who the Kyiv government and the international criminal court (ICC) say were abducted by invading forces. It also confirmed there would be a prisoner exchange in the coming days, and that were ongoing discussions on plans to repatriate thousands of bodies of fallen soldiers from both sides. Zelenskyy said he expected 500 PoWs to be swapped this weekend, but he said that the broader peace proposal put forward by Russia in Istanbul amounted to 'an ultimatum from the Russian side to us'. Immediately after Monday's meeting, Ukrainian officials said they needed more time to study the document handed over by the Russians, but press reports at the time said that it simply restated Russia's maximalist demand that Ukrainian forces withdraw from four regions under partial Russian occupation. Putin stated his position on Wednesday in the form of a televised virtual meeting with his aides. After being informed that Ukraine had proposed an unconditional ceasefire of 30 to 60 days, Putin asked: 'Why reward them by giving them a break from the combat, which will be used to pump the regime with western arms, to continue their forced mobilisation and to prepare different terrorist acts?' He pointed to recent Ukrainian attacks on bridges inside Russia, one of which helped cause a train crash that killed seven people. On Sunday, Ukraine also carried out a remote-controlled mass drone attack on four Russian airfields, which Kyiv claims knocked out more than a third of Moscow's heavy bombers capable of firing cruise missiles. Ukrainian officials said 41 Russian warplanes, including strategic bombers and other types of combat aircraft, were destroyed or damaged in Sunday's operation, which they claimed had taken 18 months to plan. On Wednesday, they released additional drone footage of the attack, codenamed Operation Spiderweb. Satellite photos analysed and published by the Associated Press showed aircraft wreckage and scorched areas at Belaya base, one of the four airfields targeted. It said the images showed at least three Tu-95 and four Tu-22M bombers – both capable of firing cruise missiles – had been destroyed on the runway. Other aircraft at the base appeared unscathed. In his Truth Social post, Trump said the drone attacks on Russian airfields had come up in his hour-and-15-minute conversation with Putin on Wednesday. 'We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides,' Trump said. 'It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.' Trump told Putin that Ukraine did not inform him before the drone attacks, a Kremlin spokesperson said. Before the Istanbul talks, Russia stepped up its aerial attacks on cities, and pushed further into Ukraine's northern region of Sumy, seizing more than 150 sq km (58 sq miles) of the area in less than two weeks, according to Russian claims and Ukrainian open-source mapping. During his election campaign, Trump claimed more than 50 times he could end the Ukraine conflict within a day, but his comments on Wednesday did not involve any calls for restraint. Instead, he noted that Putin had offered his help in direct talks the US has been holding with Iran over its nuclear programme, which has expanded considerably since 2018, when Trump walked out of a multilateral agreement to constrain it in exchange for sanctions relief. While Putin has ruled out a comprehensive ceasefire, Russia has suggested two- to three-day local truces on different parts of the frontline, to allow the opposing armies to collect their dead, a proposal Moscow says Kyiv has rejected. However, both sides showed on Wednesday they were ready to continue with the exchange of PoWs, the bodies of dead soldiers, and to offer some cooperation on Kyiv's priority, the return of Ukrainian children. In the televised government meeting on Wednesday, the chief Russian negotiator in Istanbul, Vladimir Medinsky, said Russia was 'working' on the return of Ukrainian children, noting that Kyiv had presented a list of 339 of them. Russia has claimed Ukrainian children were taken to Russia for their safety, while Kyiv insisted they had been abducted. The Ukrainian view was underpinned by the ICC, which issued arrest warrants in March 2023 for Putin and his 'commissioner for children's rights', Maria Lvova-Belova, for their role in the 'unlawful deportation' of the Ukrainian children. After the Istanbul meeting, Zelenskyy said the Ukrainian delegation had handed the Russians a list of nearly 400 names of abducted Ukrainian children, but claimed that Russia had only offered to resolve the cases of 10 of them. After Monday's talks, Turkey's leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, announced that he wanted to host a Putin-Zelenskyy summit also involving Trump. Zelenskyy has been challenging his Russian counterpart to meet him face to face for some months. 'We are ready for such a meeting any day,' the Ukrainian leader said on Wednesday, adding that it was 'pointless' to hold further talks with the midlevel Russian delegates Putin has sent to the talks – who Zelenskyy has previously dismissed as 'empty heads' – since they were not empowered to agree a ceasefire. Putin maintained his opposition to a personal meeting with Zelenskyy however, on the grounds of the recent attacks on railways in the Kursk and Bryansk border regions, which he described as 'terrorist acts'. 'How can any such [summit] meetings be conducted in such circumstances? What shall we talk about?' Putin asked in his video call with his officials. Since Trump's return to the White House in January, European capitals have sought to take more of a leading role in bolstering Ukraine's defence, and on Wednesday, a series of military industrial support measures were announced at a meeting of the 52-country strong Ukraine Defense Contact Group at Nato headquarters in Brussels, chaired jointly by the UK and Germany.

MyPillow's Mike Lindell faces trial and plans to testify about 2020 election lies
A trial underway in Colorado could add to the financial problems facing the pillow salesman and prominent election denier Mike Lindell and will serve as another test of whether defamation law can be effective to fight false claims about elections. Opening statements began Tuesday in a case brought by Eric Coomer, who formerly worked in security and voting technology strategy for voting machine company Dominion. Coomer sued Lindell and a host of others who spread unproven claims that he interfered with the 2020 election. . Companies and individuals who were targeted by the right with false stolen election claims after the 2020 election have attempted to use defamation law to hold parties including Fox News and other rightwing media outlets accountable for false claims. Several lawsuits have been settled, including a claim Coomer brought against conservative outlet Newsmax, while juries have awarded damages in others, including a major judgment against Rudy Giuliani. The conspiracy theories about Coomer started with a rightwing podcaster in Colorado, Joe Oltmann, who claimed that someone who identified himself as 'Eric the Dominion guy' had been on an 'antifa' call where he said: 'Don't worry about the election, Trump is not gonna win. I made fucking sure of that.' Oltmann found some of Coomer's social media posts, which were anti-Donald Trump. Oltmann has not produced any tape of the alleged call, nor any other proof that Coomer manipulated the election. Coomer is also suing Oltmann, who is expected to testify this week in the Lindell trial. Lindell elevated Oltmann's claims and has fought the lawsuit, one of several he has faced over his election lies. His online TV network, LindellTV, is providing regular coverage of the case. On Monday, the day the jury was selected, Lindell held a news conference outside the courthouse before the trial began. He said he plans to take the stand at trial this week, telling Rolling Stone: 'Of course I'm gonna testify at my own trial! … I have nothing to hide. I am a former crack addict; I've always been open about that. I've always been open about everything! I'm as transparent as they come … So I have nothing to hide at this trial.' Coomer filed the lawsuit against Lindell in April 2022. Coomer's attorneys have argued Lindell's statements about Coomer were in part motivated by Newsmax not allowing Lindell to go on its programs after the company settled the lawsuit Coomer brought against it for spreading false claims, according to the Denver Post. Lindell's attorneys said Coomer's lawsuit against Lindell 'triggered' the pillow salesman into defaming Coomer, the paper reported. In videos shown to the jury on Tuesday, Lindell said Coomer had participated in 'the biggest crime this world has ever seen', reported 9 News, a local Denver news outlet. Lindell's attorneys said they would not show evidence of a rigged election because it was immaterial to Lindell's defense. 'It's just words. All Mike Lindell did was talk,' Chris Kachouroff, Lindell's attorney, said. 'Mike believed that he was telling the truth.' According to 9News, Coomer testified in the case on Tuesday, saying he has never interfered with an election and that Lindell's claims had caused intense disruption to his life. Coomer said he feared for his life, experienced death threats and had gone into hiding for a time. 'Ultimately it's to try to regain some semblance of my life. I didn't just lose my livelihood, I lost my life as a direct result of statements by Mr. Lindell accusing me of being a traitor,' Coomer said. Lindell is also being sued by Dominion and Smartmatic, another voting machine company. Those lawsuits have not made it to trial. Lindell has struggled to pay for his legal defense – a law firm that was representing him sought to be removed from his cases because he owed them millions of dollars and couldn't pay, the Star Tribune reported.

DOGE to claw back $8BN foreign aid including $3 million on Iraqi Sesame Street and $800k for Nepal sex workers
The White House has recommended that Congress take up action on a DOGE-inspired bill that could cut billions in waste, fraud and abuse identified by Elon Musk and his 'nerd army.' President Donald Trump 's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought has sent to Capitol Hill a plan to slash funding for global projects including '$3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street.' Called a rescission bill, it allows Congress to take back money that has been appropriated but not yet spent. It is the first push in Congress to reform the many eye-popping spending programs uncovered by DOGE this year. And it comes just as the former DOGE leader has loudly condemned Congress for not doing enough to cut spending. Leaving DOGE after his status as a special government employee ended last week, Trump awarded Musk a key to the White House and lauded the world's richest man for helping the federal government uncover $180 billion in waste. But this week Musk has gone scorched earth on his GOP allies, calling Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' an abomination that 'will drive America into debt slavery!' The package the White House is urging Congress to pass, however, would cut spending like the Tesla owner has demanded. The plan calls for cutting up to $9.4 billion in approved funding, much of that coming from projects at the State Department, USAID, the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees NPR and PBS. Much of the funding on the chopping block comes from pro-DEI and LGBT initiatives USAID funded for other countries, which were identified by DOGE. According to OMB, the package will rescind '$643,000 for LGBTQI+ programs in the Western Balkans' and '$567,000 for LBGTQI+ programs in Uganda.' OMB also announced it cut millions meant for condoms and vasectomies and over $830,000 for 'transgender people, sex workers and their clients and sexual networks' in Nepal.' Over $5 million for 'resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans gender, intersex, and queer global movements,' will be undone, as will '$3 million for circumcision, vasectomies, and condoms in Zambia.' In total, the measure calls for $8.3 billion in cuts to USAID, an agency Trump pushed to shut down earlier this year. Having Congress cut the agency's funding is another meaningful step taken by the administration to wind down the embattled USAID, which the administration aims to end completely. The OMB-backed bill also slashes $135 million for the World Health Organization, which has been widely derided by GOP lawmakers since the COVID-19 pandemic. '$67,000 for testing insect powder nutrition on children in Madagascar,' will also be cut, according to OMB's X account. 'Today, the House has officially received the rescissions request from the White House to eliminate $9.4 billion in wasteful foreign aid spending at the State Department and USAID and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS,' GOP House leadership said in a joint statement Tuesday. 'Now that this wasteful spending by the federal government has been identified by DOGE, quantified by the Administration, and sent to Congress, House Republicans will fulfill our mandate and continue codifying into law a more efficient federal government.' Speaker Mike Johnson, who led the letter, has said that he hopes the rescission package will get a vote on the floor as soon as next week.
