Here’s a selection of clips from my time as a journalist. Happy reading!
Trump’s East Wing destruction echoes his tactics at Mar-a-Lago
President Donald Trump has begun demolition of the East Wing as he remakes the White House in his image, ignoring rules, breaking promises and taking a wrecking ball to the approval process in an echo of the strategies he deployed in Florida and New York as he built his real estate empire.
Similar to the rule-breaking tactics he used when pushing through changes to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach and building his Trump Tower in New York, Trump’s sudden and dramatic White House overhaul has been made possible by his disdain for the rules that have protected Washington’s cohesive design.
Brushing aside red tape has long been a Trump strategy when it comes to changes at historic properties.
Casey DeSantis’ friends and colleagues reveal ALL about the marriage with Ron they didn’t think would ‘work’, how the Congressional shooting brought her closer to him
Florida’s First Lady Casey DeSantis is on the charm offensive and her personal charisma is seen as a necessary balance to Ron DeSantis’ lackluster personality as he inches toward a presidential run.
While the governor of the Sunshine State has yet to formally announce a bid for the White House next year, both Casey’s admirers – and detractors – say she’s the one to watch.
But she wasn’t always convinced politics was her path and some of her friends revealed to DailyMail.com they had doubts the marriage would work. It would take the fear of losing her husband for Casey to leave her career as an Emmy-winning journalist and transform into a public wife.
She threw herself into the part.
Democrats and Republicans alike describe her ability to charm a room – a necessary campaign chops that his critics say he lacks.
How Rubio went from Trump’s political opponent to inner circle
As Donald Trump overturns traditional U.S. alliances and transforms America’s role in the world, Marco Rubio has become the point man for carrying out the president’s “America first” policies.
It’s been a long journey for Rubio, one that saw him evolve from Trump critic to the president’s right-hand man, carrying the joint titles of secretary of state and national security adviser.
It’s a remarkable testament to the 54-year-old’s political survival skills. Nine years ago, Rubio and Trump were at each other’s throats in the 2016 presidential primary, which left their relationship in tatters and Rubio’s future in the party unsettled.
Harry and Meghan asked to fly to US on Air Force One with Biden after Queen’s funeral but were denied
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted to ride back to the United States on Air Force One after the Queen’s funeral – but the request was denied by the White House in case it caused a ‘commotion,’ sources have revealed to DailyMail.com.
Months earlier, First Lady Jill Biden was also invited to attend Harry’s Invictus Games – but the idea was killed amid concerns that the Royal Family may have been offended by her presence there.
Both the failed initiatives are understood to have been part of a campaign by the Sussexes to gain political influence in the US as they settled into life in California.
Meghan publicly advocated for paid family leave to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and worked behind the scenes to connect with the Bidens, DailyMail.com discovered from speaking to many current and former officials in the Biden administration and in the British government.
‘I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’ Melania wears $39 jacket with controversial message scrawled on the back before and after visiting immigrant children in Texas
President Donald Trump claimed his wife Melania was referring to ‘the Fake News Media’ when she wore an extraordinary jacket with the slogan ‘I really don’t care, do u’ as she flew Thursday to visit children separated from their families at the Mexico border.
Trump used Twitter after his wife was pilloried for the $39 statement jacket from Zara which she wore on her way to McAllen, Texas, where she said ‘good luck’ to children taken from their parents – and when she landed back in Washington D.C. despite the outcry.
The first lady’s surprise visit to a children’s shelter – where a handful of the 55 children it houses had been taken from their parents – was intended to underline her compassion for children, and came after she lobbied Trump to end separations.
Instead it was overshadowed by the former model’s choice of jacket.
