'Encouraging': Musk mocks Trump as approval rating falls to all-time low
As US President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low, Elon Musk has called it an 'encouraging' sign. He previously threatened to launch a new political party to remove all those from office who supported the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. read more US President Donald Trump talks to the media, next to Tesla CEO Elon Musk with his son X Æ A-12, at the White House in Washington, DC, US, March 11, 2025. (Photo: Reuters) Amid their ongoing feud, billionaire Elon Musk has welcomed the declining approval rating of US President Donald Trump. Trump's approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 40 per cent. Musk said in a post on X that the fall was 'encouraging'. The remark comes at a time when Musk and Trump have sparred again over the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'. As Musk has continued to condemn the bill over trillions of dollars that it would add to the federal deficit, Trump has threatened to deport Musk — who emerged as his principal political partner last year until their public fallout last month. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD As his immigration policies have triggered mass protests and trade policies have slowed economic growth forecasts, Trump's approval among Americans fell to 40 per cent in June from 44 per cent in March, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov survey conducted on June 26-30. More Americans now disapprove than approve Trump's immigration agenda — his strongest area. From 44 per cent disapproval in March, Trump's disapproval rating on immigration rose to 46 per cent in April, 48 per cent in May, and 52 per cent in June — with just 44 per cent Americans approving it. While Musk has occasionally continued to praise Trump, he has completely turned against him on economy and trade. He said that all those supporting the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' 'should hang their head in shame'. He said he would launch a new political party to take on the Republicans if the bill would pass. 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a voice,' said Musk in a post on X. In response, Trump threatened to deport Musk and cut his government subsidies. When asked by a reported whether he would deport Musk, Trump replied, 'We'll have to take a look.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Trump further said, 'We might have to put Doge on Elon. You know what Doge is? The monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible? He gets a lot of subsidies.'

'Lone-wolf' terror attack in US ahead of July 4 celebrations? FBI raises alarm, issues dire alert
Local and federal authorities are likely preparing for potential threats during Fourth of July celebrations next weekend amid the growing tensions between the United States and Middle East. Attacks perpetrated by lone actors are the biggest terrorism threat to July 4th festivities in New York City and elsewhere, reported CNN, citing federal authorities. Tensions escalated on June 22, when the US Military bombed three key nuclear sites in Iran, according to Trump administration officials. America is all set to celebrate its Independence Day on July 4. Ahead of July 4 celebrations , alerts have been issued by federal authorities over lone actors perpetrating attacks in New York and other places which has become the biggest terrorist threat to July 4 festivities. Americans warned ahead of July 4 celebrations The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other law enforcement agencies issued a joint bulletin in June saying 'the most significant terrorism threat facing the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks stems from lone offenders and small groups of individuals seeking to commit acts of violence.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo ALSO READ: Diogo Jota's heartfelt message to younger brother Andre Silva resurfaces after their tragic deaths 'These individuals are often motivated by a broad range of racial, ethnic, political, religious, anti-government, societal, or personal grievances,' the threat assessment continued. Live Events The threat is not just limited around New York, but other large gatherings could also be targeted. The threat assessment added 'These individuals are often motivated by a broad range of racial, ethnic, political, religious, anti-government, societal, or personal grievances.' 'Special events with high attendance and media coverage … remain attractive targets' for domestic and foreign terrorists and violent extremists who may want to 'cause mass casualties or draw attention to their causes,' the bulletin said. The agencies said they had not received any reports of specific threats at the massive fireworks show or related events. However, 'high-profile, large events can draw interest from malicious actors looking for targets of opportunity to perpetrate criminal schemes,' the bulletin said. Law enforcement agencies had issued a similar warning during New Year's celebration when a driver intentionally rammed his truck into a crowd of revelers on January 1 in New Orleans' French quarter, killing 14 people. The suspect, a US army veteran who had served in Afghanistan, was killed by authorities in a shootout.

US-Mid east tensions 'Due to the Iran conflict, the Department of Homeland Security has a National Threat Advisory System, and as of June 22, we are at a heightened threat environment,' Michael Verden, founder and CEO of security firm The Lake Forest Group, told Fox News Digital. 'That level will stay in place until September 22, and it could be extended based on the conflict in Iran.' Verden, a former USSS agent and law enforcement officer, added that certain 4th of July activities and travel will see increased security and precautionary measures 'because of this heightened threat environment.' DHS said in a June 22 bulletin that 'Iran also has a long-standing commitment to target US Government officials it views as responsible for the death of an Iranian military commander killed in January 2020.' ALSO READ: Diogo Jota's wife Rute Cardoso posted joyful wedding reel hours before he died in fatal crash 'The likelihood of violent extremists in the Homeland independently mobilizing to violence in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the Homeland,' DHS said. 'Multiple recent Homeland terrorist attacks have been motivated by anti-Semitic or anti-Israel sentiment, and the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict could contribute to US-based individuals plotting additional attacks.' Tensions over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza have been linked to a spate of recent violence in the United States, and authorities say similar attacks could erupt on July 4. 'Most attackers motivated at least in part by the Israel-HAMAS conflict have selected targets with a symbolic link to Israel, houses of worship, or locations associated with houses of worship. Individuals with grievances linked to the conflict could also perceive large gatherings, such as Independence Day celebrations, as opportunistic targets symbolic of the West in general,' the threat assessment said. ALSO READ: Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg 'asked to leave' Oval Office meeting? Know what was Trump discussing with officials The DHS and FBI cited last month's firebomb attack in Boulder, Colorado, that targeted a group of demonstrators supporting Israelis who were held hostage by Hamas. Ahead of the 4th of July celebrations, authorities are also keeping an eye on the skies. The report flags the potential misuse of drones to disrupt or target large gatherings. "Although we have no credible, specific reporting regarding illicit plans to use UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) to target the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks," it says, "unauthorised UAS operations have the potential to increase public safety risks."
