Trump Botches His Own Name In The Most Awkward Typo You'll Ever See
President Donald Trump on Sunday posted a message on his Truth Social website thanking the B-2 pilots who took part in this weekend's attack on Iran. But the president's message had one key flaw: He misspelled his own name. 'The GREAT B-2 pilots have just landed, safely, in Missouri. Thank you for a job well done!!!' Trump wrote, then signed his message in all caps: 'DONAKD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!' Trump deleted the message and replaced it with a corrected version, but a website that archives his posts shows the typo. Trump has a long and colorful history of typo-ridden social media posts, including the infamous 'covfefe' message of 2017, along with his references to a 'stollen' election, 'Wirch Hunt,' and 'hamberders.' He's bungled his own name before, referring to himself in 2019 as 'Donald Ttump,' and that of his wife, whom he called 'Melanie' Trump in 2018. It's not clear if Trump typed the message himself. A former aide, Madeleine Westerhout, testified during his criminal trial last year that when Trump was on Twitter, he preferred to dictate his messages, down to his trademark use of capitalizations and exclamation points. Footage released last year also showed him dictating and supervising his social media posts. Trump's critics called him out over the awkward typo: This is the man calling for regime change and with his hand on the nuclear codes, marching us into war: DONAKD J. TRUMP. To my Republican colleagues with the power and numbers to stop this, what say you? — Rep. Melanie Stansbury (@Rep_Stansbury) June 22, 2025 If Joe Biden has misspelled his own name in a tweet, Fox would be calling for his removal and running it on a loop 24/7. — Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) June 22, 2025 Hmmm beginning to worry that the guy who cannot even bother to spell check whether he got his own name correct is not doing the most rigorous research before he decides to get us in to a war. — Centrism Fan Acct 🔹 (@Wilson__Valdez) June 22, 2025 New coffeve just dropped — Tamoor Hussain (@tamoorh) June 22, 2025 While thanking the B-2 pilots for their service, Trump misspelled his own name while signing off in a new statement 'DONAKD J.

Huntington Park mayor directs police to enforce ICE agents' self-identification
Huntington Park Mayor Arturo Flores released a statement Saturday, condemning what he called 'masked abductions' amid immigration raids across Los Angeles County, and directing police to intervene in unlawful or unauthorized operations. 'These are not lawful arrests. These are abductions,' said Mayor Flores. 'For more than a week, we have witnessed families being torn apart, children left without parents, and residents vanishing without explanation. Men dressed in tactical gear, operating unmarked vehicles without displaying credentials or agency affiliation, have infiltrated our neighborhoods in direct violation of our community's values, civil rights, and the basic principles of due process.' Last week, a raid on a Huntington Park home, attended by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, caused outrage in the community. The agency said that the federal immigration agents were targeting a man with a criminal record inside the home, but when about a half-dozen vehicles carrying heavily armed, masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents converged on the home, it was occupied by a 28-year-old pregnant mother of four. ICE agents and Noem eventually left the home empty-handed, and the children were allowed back inside. However, this was not the only raid reported in Huntington Park, according to the mayor, and other times, federal agents have been seen masking their faces and driving unmarked vehicles. Flores said he's received reports of masked and unidentified individuals abducting residents in broad daylight. 'These actions have sparked rumors of unauthorized vigilantes or bounty hunters operating under the guise of federal enforcement, have triggered widespread fear and confusion throughout the community.' This message also comes a day after protesters were seen facing off with masked men in the neighboring Southeast L.A. city of Bell, where a large crowd was seen surrounding unmarked vehicles with federal agents around. Several people were seen detained, and a large crowd continued to move in on the unmarked vehicles. 'This is not immigration enforcement. This is state-sanctioned intimidation,' said Flores. 'I am calling for the immediate cessation of these raids and for the Huntington Park Police Department to begin verifying the identities and authority of any individuals conducting such operations within city limits.' The statement shared that the mayor formally directed the police department to enforce laws concerning unmarked vehicles, visible license plates and required agency identification. 'He is urging law enforcement to investigate and intervene in any unauthorized operations that place public safety or civil liberties at risk,' continued the message. 'We cannot allow Wild West-style bounty hunter tactics to unfold unchecked on our streets,' said Mayor Flores. 'Our residents deserve to know who is operating in their neighborhoods and under what authority. Allowing unidentified and unverified actors to engage in forceful detentions is not only reckless—it is dangerous and corrosive to the rule of law.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Newly released Mahmoud Khalil spotted back at anti-Israel protest at Columbia University
Anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil returned to Columbia University on Sunday to lead another protest march just days after his release from an immigration detention facility on a judge's orders. Khalil was seen being honored in New York City and gave a speech referencing the Trump administration detaining and attempting to deport him. "Well, who is Mahmoud Khalil?" Khlalil said. "That's what the administration has tried its best to portray me as someone who's violent. Mahmoud Khalil is a human rights defender. Mahmoud Khalil is a freedom fighter. Mahmoud Khalil is a refugee. Mahmoud Khalil is a father and husband. And above all, Mahmoud Khalil is Palestinian." He called this latest protest the beginning of a "longer fight towards justice." "The wave of repression that the Trump administration initiated with my detention was intended to silence the movement for Palestinian liberation," Khalil said. "It was intended to scare people into silence. It was intended to distract us from the fact that the U.S. government is a killing machine in Palestine and across the world. But they completely failed. Millions of people spoke up even louder, that it is our responsibility to end this genocide, no matter the personal cost, no matter the personal cost. And that's exactly what I will continue trying to do as long, so long as I'm able, so long as I am breathing." Additional footage across social media showed him holding a Palestinian flag and leading a chant of "Columbia, Columbia, you can't hide. You're supporting genocide." Khalil was arrested in March at Columbia over his anti-Israel activism on campus, and an immigration judge ruled he could be removed from the country based on a memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio that said his campus protests were at odds with U.S. foreign policy interests. Rubio cited a provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act to justify his finding, and U.S. District Judge Farbiarz later enjoined the secretary from using that determination to deport Khalil. However, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also added a second reason for keeping Khalil detained and attempted to deport him. The DHS said Khalil allegedly omitted key information from his green card application about groups with which he was affiliated, including the Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Farbiarz ordered on Friday that Khalil be released on bail from an immigration detention center in Jena, Louisiana after determining that Khalil would not be considered a flight risk.
