she will work to have fully functioning rnc.a trump stepg down. >> i don't have the words to tell how great a partner lara trump has been in the rnc. she's been fantastic on tv. she's been a fundraiser. she is willing to go anywhere and do any work for the campaign and support donald trump and candidates up and down the ballots and i know we're going to continue to work together no matter what platform she is going to be speaking from. she is going to remain a steadfast ally to president trump and conservatives across the country. i'm very excited to work with casey crosby. she served as our treasurer over the last couple years, a solid conservative and she'll be a great member of the team. maria: when i spoke with lara recently she said she would love to be considered to represent florida in the senate and she said she would look forward to the job if ron desantis actually chose her, tapped her for that senate seat. we have another potential senate seat nominee with us right now on set and that's mehek cooke. you've been talked

there was really no daylight between the rnc and the trump campaign.side susie, we all work as one single team. that meant everything the campaign was doing the rnc was also doing. we were making sure we were step a first step, line by line at doing everything the same way but that also meant we did not have to have multiple people at the campaign or rnc doing the same job but we have one person on both sides doing a one job that meant the money we were raising went further. all around i think that was a really important aspects of these is we saw november 5. mark: what can the republicans do when you have boats that keep going on and on and on? and then you lose orange county. you lose lose other parts of central california counties their voting cores i don't know what they are doing. everybody is used to things happening right away. why is it take a month account? is any congressional republican think who is responsible? >> i do think it falls maybe on the and rcc to a certain extent. but, there's a bigger conversation to be had. we actually never le

who justin sinkively knows what to do, has special connection to the american people and you in the rnce votes out and count the votes properly. was there much coordination in that sense or you both just knew what to do? >> well, of course, yeah, there was definite coordination and actually i think one of the really fundamental things that we did, this election and i really don't think, mark, it has ever happened prior with donald trump was that there was really no daylight between the rnc and the trump campaign. we worked -- michael and i and chris alongside susie wiles, we worked as one single team and everything that the campaign was doing the rnc was also doing. we were making sure that we were step for step line by line doing everything the same way and that the also meant and didn't have multiple people doing the same job, we had one person on both sides doing one job, that meant the money that we were raising went further. all around i think that was also a really important aspect of, you know, the success that we saw on november 5th. mark: when we come back even though it may be

she did a great job at rnc. ronald was pushed out because of management there. a lot of people like her. question is what does ron desantis want to do. >> ainsley: personalities, too, lara andic are eric are fighters. the government will come after us, we will fight it. they are tough as nails. i think lara enjoys it, is good at it. she had that position starting in march and she ended up winning. she was co-chair. everyone loves her. >> brian: pack that up. here is what she said. i didn't memorize it yet. it is something i would consider, taking over for marco rubio, if being trtransparent, don't know what that would look like and will get all information, i will consider it. to me, i guess there is attorney general, she seems perfect understands president has experience in political realm. >> lawrence: question is because this is going to be ron desantis last term as governor. a lot of superstars in florida going for governor or senate seat. if she did complete the term, somebody will have to run. u elon's mom, may musk says senate is old man's club, we need a

i've been cochair of the rnc during the most consequential election of our lifetime.we did at the rnc making sure there was election integrity, making sure we got early vote out and turned out low propensity voters and raising huge amounts of money. my track record speaks for itself. maybe having the last name trump is a little extra and i'm always happy to have it. madison: she's very happy to have that last name and many people close to the president elect endorsed lara trump for the role but comes down to governor ro ron desantis decembr and rubio had an interesting relationship. the word on the street is that relations have improved between desantis and trump and talk that desantis could be in president elect's c cab note so he -- cab set so he has the president'elect's ear. stuart: look at markets and a little red ink scattered and dow off 80 and nasdaq down 90. how about the cryptos? where are they this morning? bitcoin cross $100,000 briefly and came back down again. ethereum on a tear and now back down a little at 3800. coming up, jury deliberations back under

and because of i was able to watch it in real time at the rnc and the dnc. so it really is so juicy. insider look, kind of, you know, my pov from sitting in the chair is literally information's coming in that you know they're not going to back joe biden and i'm sitting on a desk next to jason miller hey jason, here it is, real time. what do you want to talk about? so it comes in real fast and you have to have the right asking the right questions. you end up like legacy media and 60 minutes. and that's a whole other book. so maybe the second book is coming. great. lamar, my new executive producer, the new york fox five. yes. well, i guess that's not a secret. bianca, what was the easiest what was the easiest chapter or portion to write and what was really the hardest i like that. i think the hardest was putting together a lot of the research because it was it was when you started going into it was so dark and you realized how the dark money connected the anti-semitism that's exploded. we saw it here and how how much of a long it was that was sort of the harde

folks who have been over the target for years, they revolutionized the rnc when no one else wanted tohe problem. charlie identified issues, instead of complaining about it, instead of just saying oh well, he goes out raising the money, builds a plan and his team executes it. the left right now is so worried about where they are and what do they stand for, what is their new voting block, illegal immigrants? and dead people. i just wanted to say winning is the best revenge and i know you guys are hearing this from so many speakers but this is just getting started. we need permanent infrastructure . we are gonna come out, i am gonna go public with this in january but we are going to relaunch a double down on the pennsylvania chase, this is my word to you today, we want to make pennsylvania the red wall that makes it so that democrats cannot win another national election in my lifetime. [applause] the governor of pennsylvania has already announced he will be back out january 1 2020 five, chasing requests, the democrats learned from losing we need to make sure we learn from winning. we nee

. >> jesse: let's bring in our rnc cochair, your name came up today, let's listen! mr. trump: no, i probably don't but i do not know. ron is doing a good job, nothing to do with me. laura is unbelievable. she is incredible. the job she did out of the rnc, with michael rockley in combination, i could just speak for lara she is just so highly respected by women, even her workout routines. >> jesse: [laughter] the workout routines on instagram, i am not getting involved let me just put it that way, it looks too hard for me. are you intrigued him being in the senate? sue and i think you told everybody that i left 150 pounds which i guess it depends on a workout it is that is true is all. yes, of course. first of all jesse, i'm totally honored by everything my father-in-law said today, incur to be nice to say about me and had a great team and the rnc to work alongside me, we have a part of all we did and of course his election. certainly, the fact that my name has been mentioned along many other qualified, very highly regarded people as a potential fit for this senate se

conferences, to landmark supreme court cases, and to a historic presidential election, including the dnc and rnc is a look back as we prepare for an action-packed 2025. >> two most i am known as jellyroll. >> i appreciate the opportunity to be here. >> my name is michael helps. >> have you apologize to the victims? would you like to do so now? they are here. you are on national television. would you like to apologize to the victims? >> i am suspending my campaign. >> the time has come to suspend my campaign. >> the events were shameful but did not qualify insurrection. >> this will be my last term as republican leader of the senate. >> this is one of the reasons why the program is so valuable, it brings people together. >> without immunity there can be no presidency as we know it. >> the republican led house will not be forced into passing a foreign aid bill. >> providing critical aid is important. >> speaker of the house representative, declaring the office to be vacant. >> hopefully this is the end of the personality politics. >> this event is being televised live on c-span. >> for the next 90

i intend to formally step down from the rnc at our next meeting. governor ron desantis would get the choice in who fills that seat. this week former representative tulsi gabbard will meet with senators. trump nominated her as director of national intelligence. she has drawn criticism for her views on regimes in syria and russia. also this weekend, the president-elect was in paris for the opening of notre dame. he also met with french president emmanuel macron and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. afterward he posted on truth social that it's time for negotiations in ukraine to get that war finished to get a cease-fire done. he said ukraine is ready for it. he also mentioned that russia is weakened he knows vlad and he should agree to it back to you. >> steve: steve. >> brian: every time he can zelenskyy talks to president trump. so smart. he saw him at the opening of the notre dame cathedral and had a chance to talk to him then. i think is he tired of losing tens of thousands of people a month. russians are losing more. so, they are thinking

lara trump is stepping down as cochair of the rnc. we will ask about that. so what is love? i don't know. puppies. candy. what? i got nothing. you gotta call the love doctor. maybe love is somebody that likes or likes someone. something when you make people laugh. at shriners hospitals for children® its so much more. love is being able to stand. at shriners hospitals ® love is being independent. love is dancing. at shriners hospitals for children® love is a new smile. love is a new prosthetic leg. this $19 month from people like you can help shriners hospitals for children® help people like me. right now there are children just like me that need the lifesaving help of shriners hospitals for children® will you let them know you care? would you give them just $0.63 a day? when you call today we'll send you this adorable love to the rescue® blanket as a thank you, and as a reminder of the love you gave to a child in need. will you send your love to the rescue today? call now and give a child like me the gift of hope. thank you. thank you. please call now. if operators are busy.

joining us now, rnc chair michael whatley. mike, it's a pleasure seeing you again. spending the time with us tonight. what do you make of this? let's go through it. trump's trudeau's -- excuse me, trudeau's rating and support has collapsed in the polls. canada's currency is now at a 4-year low against the u.s. dollar, and a lot of people in canada are saying trudeau, he's authoritarian, totalitarian. what do you think? >> look, donald trump wants to have allies both north of our borders and south of our borders. we would love to be in a position on day one to count canada and mexico as strong u.s. allies. and in order to do that, he has made it very clear we are going to have fair trade, and we are going to have strong borders. and if both of those countries are going to step up and acknowledge that that's the conditions to have a great relationship with us, then we're going to do everything we can to help those countries succeed. what we have seen all across the world are leaders who are coming and talking to donald trump, who are calling donald trump, who are meet

. >> let's bring in rnc co-chair lara trump. and your name came up today. let's listen. >> do you expect ron desantis to appoint lara trump to senator marco rubio seat? >> no, i don't i probably don't, but i don't know. ron's doing a good job. that's his choice. not nothing to do with me. lara is unbelievable. i mean, she was incredible. the job she did at the rnc as chairman, along with michael whatley, the combination. but i could just speak for lara. it's she is so highly respected by women. i mean, even her workout routines are through the roof. >> and i've seen the workout routines on instagram. i'm not i'm not getting involved. let's just put it that way. it looks too hard for me. but are you intrigued with being in the senate? >> yeah, i think he told everybody that i can lift 150 pounds, which i guess it depends what kind of workout it is. but yeah, that is true as well. yes, of course i. first of all, jesse, i'm totally honored by everything my father in law said. today was incredibly nice to say about me, and i had a great team at the rnc to work

so you stepped down as co-chair of the rnc. you did a great job. you had told me privately, and i think you said it publicly as well, that you were in this for one election. this was not going to be a permanent job for you. there has been a ton of speculation that you might be on a short list. i've not spoken to governor desantis about it in terms of replacing governor rubio. have you spoken to him about it or, you know, is it anything you would would you want to be on that list? >> well, i'm honored. yeah, i've heard i've heard the same rumors you have, sean. imagine that. and it's an honor to be even mentioned on this list of people who are, you know, incredible patriots and have done incredible service for this country. you're right. i did say when i took this job that this was not something i wanted long term. you know? in fact, i actually like the idea of accomplishing your goals and then leaving, allowing someone new to come in and moving on. that's exactly what i want to do with my life. and we did accomplish all the goals that we set out to

and let me say, i'm going to say one thing in closing, and i said at the rnc, i meant it. the criminal in mexico have killed more americans than every terrorist organization in the world combined. over a quarter million young americans have died from fentanyl poisonings. president gunston hall china accountable for creating the precursors he's selling to the cartels. president trump's going home. mexico accountable for not doing anything about this. criminal cartels. president trump's going designate them terrorist organizations organizations and we're going to wipe them off the of the earth. criminal cartels keep. mick i got numerous death threats. criminal cartels make, death threats against me. bring it because the greatest country on the face of this earth is going to put you out of business and put you in prison. mexico. don't do it. the united states will. president trump well well, are you ready to secure the border? they get on your feet. are you ready to secure the border? are you ready? the biggest deportation operation ever seen. are you ready for president to w

does the transformational change actually come from the dnc, from the rnc?es it need to come from somewhere else? who leads that move into the future? >> i think the responsibility of the parties, as juanita and molly both said, is to build the infrastructure for national party. that means you need to invest in state party infrastructure if you're the democrats. there's a lot of state bodies right now that need some help. and this gets harder for democrats, given the census in 2030, where likely more electoral votes go to florida, texas and other states get harder to win. the five-year project for the dnc is where we invest in infrastructure in the states. state party committees to make sure that we can win back the white house, win back the country and prepare for the 2030 census. i think the policymaking, the messaging will come down to very talented politicians within the party. we see the postmortems after the election. how do you communicate better? i think it's pretty simple for democrats. you can give a tax cut to people making under $400,000. not jus

cassie, former rnc deputy communications director and fred hicks. great to see you both.k, we're beyond the point where we want to look back and try to figure out what happened and all that. moving forward is important. all hands on deck. are people who vote with democrats ready to help move this country forward? >> well, i believe so. in order to move forward you have to understand what happened. this is not an uncommon thing, harris. as a matter of fact in 2008 when republicans lost then lieutenant governor who became rnc chairperson penned an op-ed laying out a plan for republicans to turn to power and two years later there was a shellacking as obama called it. >> harris: where would you start? one thing you learned. what would you start with? >> i would start with two things. one organizing at every level and number two really understanding the mastery of new media. we're lagging in those areas as democrats. the campaign spent a lot of money on digital ads. one point they made a $3 hundred million buy and neglected traditional media. neglected to do a lot of things on

is it actually coming from the dnc, the rnc, or does it come from somewhere else?sponsibility of the parties is to build the infrastructure. really that means you have to invest in state party infrastructure. there are a lot of state parties that need some help. it gets harder for democrats given the senses in 2031 likely more electoral votes go to texas and florida and other states get harder to win so where are we investing in infrastructure in the state party committees to be sure we can win back the white house and prepare for the 2030 census. i think the messaging will come down to very talented politicians and the party. we see the postmortems after the election, how do you communicate better. i think it is very simple for democrats. you can ban assault weapons, safe public schools, pay teachers more, and get corporate money out of politics. start talking about those policy issues while you are building state parties. you have a competitive party. this was not the mandate or landslide donald trump says it is. democrats are right on the precipice of regaining

and really has to also deal with the dnc, whether you're in the rnc chair or the dnc chair, there's a whole lot of opinions coming at you. you need to make sure you can keep the trains running on the track, and make sure you're moving the party forward through the first two years. in our case, the first two goals with the dnc's health will be to take the majority back just like we did in 2018. >> yeah, i can tell you as a chairman who has served without anyone sitting down 1600 pennsylvania avenue. it's a thing of beauty when you walk in the office, and you don't have to pick up the phone and listen to someone tell you, you don't have to do something that's harebrained. you know it won't work. so any way -- [ laughter ] just my thought. congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, always a pleasure. >>> up next, elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, oh did they have a week. highlight a riff between trump's silicon valley supporters and his core maga base, folks. it's a thing of beauty. you're watching the weekend. ...follows her example. ♪♪ transforming nature's 4 billion years of wisdom... ♪♪ ..

we know he will stay as chairman of the rnc, you are a co-chair. what is your future and your next role? >> the big question. the easy one. well, you know what? i'm so lucky because i did work with an incredible team. we did succeed and do everything we set out to do. we had an overwhelming win for donald trump. i'm trying to figure out what my future looks like now. i'm fortunate i have a lot of things potentially in front of me. as soon as i make a decision i promise to let everybody know. >> bill: are you officially a resident of north carolina or florida? >> i'm on official resident of florida for 3 1/2 years. >> bill: there might be a hint there. that's what i'm saying. thank you, lara, for coming on. nice to see you. later tonight tune in the sixth annual patriot awards. sean hannity will do the honors, watch live at 8:00 eastern time fox news right there, fox nation.com. download the app and we'll have it for you. >> dana: we would love to have you watch tonight. super easy. manhunt underway in new york city after a gunman a says gnats the h

up to with the director of policy for the american principles project john, along with attorney and rnc surrogate cook. welcome to both of you. >> thank you. >> so let's start with the biden legacy. from that "wall street journal" piece, biden's legacy will be his mental decline, an epic scandal whose scope we're only beginning to appreciate, when does partisan allegiance become elder abuse. john, what's your assessment? >> you have to wonder who has been running the country for four years and this is part of the problem with having all of these octogenarians in office. joe biden being the most public and obvious one but we have several examples on both sides. i think the parties have to trust the american people and know when to move on from some of these career politicians and allow new voices to step into the fray. >> all right. and allies kept telling us how sharp the president s. let's play that. >> joe biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced, and capable in every way that anyone would want as their president. >> this is a man who is sharp, who is on top of his game. >> he'

we had the best rnc staff ever. but it wasn't enough. we can't do this alone. we need partners. we need allies. we need patriots from all 50 states. simply put. we need you. we would not have won this election and donald trump would not be the president elect today if it weren't for a turning point in the people in this room. so i have two messages today, very simple messages. the first thank you. thank you for what you have done to make america great again. thank you for knocking on doors. thank you for making phone calls. thank you for having those ultra critical five minute conversations with undecided voters in every single battleground district. everything single battleground state. thank you for your work here in arizona. thank you for your work in wisconsin and in georgia. in north carolina, in nevada and pennsylvania and michigan. because of you, we won every single one of those battleground states. 312 electoral votes. and my second message is equally simple. our work is not done. this is a movement. and we are going to continue to to work every single day. we are going

in the blog you mentioned i talked how she launched a failed bid to be the rnc chair. to oust then romney mcdonald. the premise of his bid was she thought the rnc needed to invest in a larger army of lawyers to kind of wage these consperitorial lawsuits alleging that trump was the rightful victor of the 2020 election. and so, in this podcast that she appeared on with far right influencer charlie kirk in december of 2022 they talked about how they wanted someone with a killer instinct, who would literally be able to help conservatives win elections before they occurred. so what does that mean? it means that you're doing all you can to purge people from voter rolls. block people from access to the ballot. that obviously is a disturbing thing to imagine being effectuated throughout a civil rights division that is largely responsible for upholding people's voting rights. there are current cases right now that the do-j is involved in supporting black voters who have seen their rights being struck down or being attacked rather. and so, when harmeet takes over, if and when, k

i've been co-chair of the rnc during the most consequential election of our lifetime.e was election integrity, making sure we got the early vote on, making sure we turned out low propensity voters and raising huge amounts of money. so i would say that my track record speaks for itself. maybe having the last name trump is just a little bit extra. i'm always happy to have it. howard: just briefly, lara, what's this year been like for you on a personal levelings you and your husband, eric, with the media painting your father-in-law as a threat to democracy and the two assassination attempts. >> i don't think there's any handbook with or guidebook that could prepare you, but we've all felt that way. it's been an honor to be really on the sideline of history, to see what happened in 2016, to be a part of this election in 2024 24. -- 2024. it's been a lot of challenge for, i think, my kids who are 5 and 7. they're happy to have mom and dad back a little bit more, seeing us more regularly, and they're really excited to see grandpa take the oath of office on the -- on january

and spoke at the rnc.to be in greece, that's kind of interesting and turkey is now a central destination. blinken is going there today. with syria falling apart. so, tom barrack, who led the inaugural committee last time and is a very wealthy colleague and friend of donald trump's. this would be the time to have a professional diplomat there. >> well, of course, there's a tradition of sending professional diplomats to these key posts. there's also i think a general willingness to give the president -- about whether these nominees want to confirm, but don't fool yourself. donald trump is in a very strong position. 53 republican senators, even three of them, will confirm whoever he wants. >> absolutely. susan page, ali vitali, congratulations on your new gig. starting soon. thank you. and of course, my friend, doug high from the rnc previously and also joe crowley. >>> next, new details on a key immigration policy that could change under the next administration. you're watching "andrea mitchell reports" on m

of course, we've all been watching the rnc this week, we've seen the signs that say trump will end thear in one day. we've seen the comments by the vice presidential pick for former president trump and his views on ukraine. i frankly don't care what happens to that country. and my question to you really is are we ready for this? if it should happen? i know you can't comment on the domestic politics of this country, you never would, but are we ready for all eventualities? do you have a plan b? jonatan vseviov: so i got the easy question. look, i was a studies ambassador in washington during the last trump administration and we worked with that administration. we're working with this administration, we're going to work with any future american administration. i'm not in the business of trying to define what's best for the united states. my job is to help define what's best for estonia and for europe. and in our opinion, the transatlantic relationship remains vital. so we need to not just preserve it, but to do everything we can to strengthen it. but what people need to understand is that

they're the people who left the pipe bombs outside the dnc and rnc. are those investigations now going to stop because trump takes office? >> well, let me take them separately. first of all, i expect that this unprecedented investigation into january 6th, that these cases will slow or potentially more likely just stop outright, of course, because trump is offering pardons to people involved in january 6th. now, when it comes to this adjacent case, whoever left those pipe bombs at the rnc and the dnc, you would hope that that would continue. that was kind of a bipartisan crime. but it's unclear right now. i believe there's still half $1 million reward for anyone who has information related to that. so if you know something, you should speak up now because it's not clear if that investigation will continue. >> what about the judges who have already sentenced these people, these nonviolent rioters and the violent ones to prison? have they reacted at all? >> they have, and that's really surprising. they don't often want to say something publicly, but in t

trump became co-chair of f the rnc march with her father in law's backing. her name has been floated as a possible replacement for florida senator marco rubio. the president elect has said he will nominate rubio to be secretary of state. now, coming up at 530, our political analyst, larry gerston joins us. he'll discuss the strong message that president elect trump sent during an exclusive interview on meet the press. mr. trump said he believes some lawmakers, including a few from the bay area, should spend time in jail. the u.s. supreme court refuses to hear a case challenging a program aimed at boosting diversity in public schools. the justices rejected an appeal from some boston parents. they claimed a temporary admissions policy for the city's elite high schools discriminated against white and asian students. during covid, the boston school committee had temporarily dropped the entrance exam for its latin and math and science schools. the committee made the move, saying it was not safe to hold exams in person. instead, the committee used student performa

and the fact that we saw that statement come after days of speculation towards the end of the rnc thatst capped what was truly such an, again, unprecedented week. but kamala harris then being thrust into that position as the presumptive nominee was also really interesting because we had seen, you know, coverage, haven't we, here in washington of how she might have been quietly preparing for this moment after that debate performance that president biden had. but there were also calls for some sort of open primary process to vet different democrat candidates. and in the end, it became clear that president biden had endorsed her, and then it was clear that she would have a little over 100 days to run a campaign against a very powerful opponent, a very popular opponent, donald trump. and so that was really the point where it became clear that they had to hit the ground running. and there were so many uses of the phrase, "it's a sprint, it's not a marathon", sumi, weren't there? i mean, usually a presidential campaign is a marathon, but this was a sprint. the first bit of that sprint was ra

president trump at the rnc convention publicly said why is europe still funding the russian war machine and asking us to make it up? this really is illogical, even for the europeans. there is a lot of opportunity, certainly on lng's. and with a cause likely coming off, i can think of -- i think they can prevent a good part of that. and then the last one, when you sit down with europeans nowadays , technology topic, energy topic, number one is lng, topic number two is nuclear. and obviously, there is and nuclear companies in europe as well as u.s. companies. once again, the hierarchy, energy security, energy prices, right, nuclear, this, that, it and digitizes or they look at nuclear as we need baseload, we can do it at the right price, and we are less exposed to global markets and global national security risks, so it is very high on their agenda where myself and my colleagues, we would go to poland and romania and talk about how can we facilitate nuclear and that is the great country, too, so i think there is plenty of opportunity because europe is aske

president donald trump at rnc convention in august said if they are not home before i take office, therebe a problem for hamas. >> kevin: it is denmonic to do o human beings what they are doing. these poor hostages. as an american, in particular, we have an obligation to do more than play around the edges and hopefully there is a new administration coming in, maybe they will get this person home. >> joey: dozens killed and dozens taken hostage, it seems tone and tenor from this government has been this is an israeli problem and those are american citizens. i don't know what doing more looked like that wouldn't spark us into war. i grew up thinking that if my time in marine corps, if americans were in harm's way, somebody like me and the marine corps would go get them. wonder what the next administration, they will have their hands full, not easy solution. >> katie: trump's negotiation teams he's hired are working on this. we have hope they will come home. >> joey: nearing end of hanukkah, we hope those people come home alive. continue to remember life and legacy of the 39th president of

the rnc chairman, michael whatley, who was so fantastic. [applause] and what he did with lara, the two of them were so great. where's michael? come on up, michael. come here. this guy did some job. [applause] >> it takes three things to win in a battleground state. number one, you gotta get out the vote. number two, you gotta protect the ballot. and number three, you have to have a great candidate. who runs a great race. [applause] the people in this room helped us get out the vote, they helped us protect the ballot. we would not have been able to win all those battleground states without you. but when it comes to having a great candidate who runs a great race, there is simply nobody better, ever, than the 45th and now-47th president of the united states of america, donald j. trump!
