Tiger Woods makes major decision over relationship with Vanessa Trump after surprise romance announcement
TIGER WOODS is reportedly ready to move in with girlfriend Vanessa Trump after announcing their romance earlier this year. Woods, 49, is loved up with Donald Trump Jr's ex-wife, revealing "love is in the air" in an emotional announcement in March. 5 5 The pair had originally hoped to keep their relationship under wraps, but decided to go public after rumours of their romance began to swirl. And now it looks like they are ready to take things to the next level. According to the Mail Online, it is only a matter of time before Woods and Vanessa move in together at the golfer's $40million mansion. The pair currently live 20 minutes apart in the wealthy southern Florida enclave of Palm Beach. While Woods' children, Charlie, 16, and Sam, 17, attend the same school as Vanessa's eldest daughter Kai, 17 - the $38,595-a-year The Benjamin School. Despite not moving in together just yet, it's claimed that Vanessa, 47, already has a number of her belongings at Woods' house and knows all the security codes to get around the home. A source told the Mail: "She's got some clothes there, her toiletries, some cosmetics. "She'll throw in a load of laundry while she's there, or help herself to something in the fridge. You'd think she owns the place!" 5 Woods and Vanessa started out as friends before it became something more. The pair had reportedly been seeing each other since before Thanksgiving, but their relationship was not yet public. However, it's thought that many people around the school shared by their children were already aware of their romance before it hit the mainstream. Close friends of the couple told the US Sun last month Vanessa has helped Woods find joy again, having dealt with the aftermath of a near-fatal car crash in February 2021 and another injury stunting his return to golf glory. They said: "Tiger is so happy. He's reborn and full of positive energy." Woods, who was previously married to Elin Nordegren before their 2010 divorce following revelations of his infidelity, has been describesd as feeling like a lovesick teenager once again. Vanessa is no stranger to high-profile relationships, having been married to Donald Trump Jr between 2005 and 2018, with whom she shares five children. Former father in law President Donald Trump even gave his blessing for Vanessa's new relationship with Woods. He said: "I'm very happy for both, let them both be happy. They're both great." Woods was most recently in a seven-year relationship with nightclub manager Erica Herman, which ended three years ago. The golfing sensation hasn't played professional golf since last year and remains in a battle to return from his Achilles injury. 5 5

Eric Trump Says He'd Love to See Some Big Banks ‘Go Extinct'
Eric Trump told attendees at a cryptocurrency conference that he wants some big banks to 'go extinct,' echoing complaints from other members of the Trump family about the traditional financial system. 'Honestly, I would love to see some of the big banks go extinct, because, honestly, they deserve it,' Trump said Wednesday while speaking on a panel with his brother, Donald Trump Jr., at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas.

JD Vance speaking at Bitcoin event today, as Trump administration's crypto ties grow
Vice President JD Vance is speaking Wednesday at a Bitcoin conference, marking the Trump administration's latest overture to the cryptocurrency industry — a once-fringe business that President Trump and his allies have embraced in recent months. Vance is set to speak at noon ET at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas. A longstanding backer of cryptocurrencies, Vance owned between $250,000 and $500,000 worth of Bitcoin, according to an August 2024 financial disclosure. The Las Vegas event will feature a handful of other Trump backers: His two eldest sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who have invested in crypto ventures, are speaking Wednesday on a panel about "the rise of new bitcoin business models." Chris LaCivita, who co-managed Mr. Trump's 2024 campaign, and David Sacks, a venture capitalist who serves as the White House's crypto czar, spoke on Tuesday. Vance is the highest-ranking sitting politician to address the Bitcoin Conference, which describes itself as "the world's largest gathering of bitcoiners" and often draws crypto-friendly lawmakers. Mr. Trump, then a presidential candidate, was the headline speaker last year. Bitcoin — and cryptocurrency more generally — has grown in prominence and drawn allies from both parties, despite skepticism about its volatility. The price of Bitcoin, the world's most widely used cryptocurrency, has leaped nearly 60% in the last year. Mr. Trump was once a crypto skeptic, calling Bitcoin a "scam" whose value is "based on thin air." But in his second term, he has enthusiastically boosted crypto and promised to reverse strict Biden-era regulations. Mr. Trump and his family also have financial interests in crypto, which makes up $2.9 billion of his net worth, according to one recent report. Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, announced Tuesday it is raising $2.5 billion to invest in Bitcoin. Meanwhile, businesses linked to the president launched a Trump-branded "meme coin" earlier this year, and Mr. Trump hosted the digital currency's top investors at his Virginia golf club last week. The president and his sons are linked to crypto exchange World Liberty Financial. And Eric Trump co-founded a Bitcoin mining venture that's seeking to go public. The moves have drawn criticism from Democrats and some ethics experts who argue Mr. Trump's crypto ventures pose a conflict of interest, and investing in them could be a quick route to gaining access to the president. A once-bipartisan Senate bill aimed at regulating stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the value of an asset like the U.S. dollar, bled support after Democratic lawmakers pushed for restrictions on elected officials buying or selling crypto — with some Democrats directly citing Mr. Trump's crypto investments. Senators ultimately voted to advance the bill earlier this month. The White House has strongly denied any conflict-of-interest issues, saying Mr. Trump's assets are held in a trust managed by his children.

Don Jr says calling to run for president ‘is there'
Donald Trump Jr has emerged as a political force in his own right. (AFP pic) DOHA : US President Donald Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, said today that he could maybe run for president one day, adding 'that calling is there'. During an appearance on a panel in Qatar, the 47-year-old was asked by a moderator if he would run and 'pick up the reins' after his father leaves office. 'So, the answer is, I don't know, maybe one day. You know, that calling is there. I'll always be very active in terms of being a vocal proponent of these things,' he said, referring to the ideals of the 'Make America Great Again' movement his father has built. Donald Trump Jr has emerged as a political force in his own right. Reuters reported in November that he was the most influential Trump family member in the transition as his father built the most controversial cabinet in modern US history. Trump, who fiercely prizes loyalty, has long relied on family members for political advice, but which relative has his ear is known to vary. Don Jr, as the president's eldest son is known, helped cabinet contenders sink or rise to the fore – from championing now-vice president JD Vance as Trump's running mate to blocking former secretary of state Mike Pompeo from joining the cabinet, sources have said. 'I think my father has truly changed the Republican Party, I think it's the America First party now, the MAGA party, however you want to look at it,' Don Jr said, speaking at the Qatar economic forum in Doha today. 'For the first time ever, the Republican Party actually has a bench of America First fighters,' he added. Speaking alongside 1789 Capital founder Omeed Malik, Trump's initial reaction to the question was 'Here we go. Well… oh boy,' to faint applause from the audience as he added, 'it's an honour to be asked and an honour to see that some people are okay with it.' He joked that the people clapping were 'the couple of people we know'. Don Jr is a partner in 1789 Capital. He said that the Trump Organization, where he is executive vice president, was not doing business with government entities. The Trump family has forged multi-billion dollar business deals in the Gulf, moves that Democrats and other critics say could open pathways to improperly influence the president. The US president's visit to Arab Gulf states Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates last week focused on securing major business deals from the oil-rich countries, but the president said there was no talk of building a Trump Tower in Syria or golf during his meetings in Saudi Arabia. He also said he did not know how the deal for a firm backed by the Abu Dhabi government to use the Trump family company's digital coins for a US$2 billion investment in a crypto exchange came about.
