A top Russia national security official issued a dire warning regarding President Donald Trump’s most recent comments claiming Vladimir Putin is ‘playing with fire.’

Deputy Chair of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that if ‘really bad things’ were to happen to Russia, it would lead to the third World War.

Trump posted to Truth Social on Tuesday: ‘What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!’

It came after Trump grew more frustrated with the Russian president over the weekend after Moscow spent the last few days showering Ukraine with missile and drone strikes.

For decades, the USBP has maintained the thin line between order and chaos.  Unfortunately, the last administration — in an extraordinary act of deception and betrayal, imported an army of unvetted illegal aliens, including violent criminals, thugs, gang members, and terrorists from the darkest and most dangerous parts of the world.

Under my leadership, our USBP agents are not only receiving the resources they need to do their job but also the respect they have earned and deserve — and our work is only just beginning.

‘What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD,’ Trump posted to Truth Social Tuesday. ‘He’s playing with fire!’

But there was no progress made in concluding the war – with Russia escalating its attacks on Ukraine thoughout the weekend, pummelling the country with drone strikes.

He also spoke of an economic and security relationship rooted in ‘mutual respect’ between the U.S. and Canada. The speech was written by PM Mark Carney’s office. Carney blasted out a clip from the speech, which ended in Charles earning rousing applause.

Trump is set to visit Canada next month for the annual G7 conference.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that the U.S. will no longer recommend COVID-19 vaccinations for children and healthy pregnant women.

‘I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,’ Kennedy said in a video announcement on X, flanked by the heads of the NIH and the FDA. He blasted the Biden administration for urging healthy children to get ‘yet another covid shot’ despite the ‘lack of any clinical data.’

Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic who ended his independent presidential campaign to back Trump, trumpeted the news after the FDA announced it would limit approval for COVID shots to those America Healthy Again.’

It was unclear how the announcement would affect private health insurance companies, who typically reimburse patients for the shots, which were put in place after the deadly pandemic hit.

President Donald Trump threatened to claw back federal funding to California after a transgender athlete won the long jump and triple jump in a state inter-school meet and qualified for the state championships.

Trump blasted Gov. Gavin Newsom, who he insulted as ‘Newscum,’ calling the results ‘not fair and totally demeaning to women and girls.’

‘Please be advised that large scale federal funding will be held back, maybe permanently,’ Trump threatened. He said he would speak to the Democratic governor and potential presidential candidate today. Then, without citing a specific legal basis, Trump wrote that ‘I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!’

His post comes a week after Reese Hogan of Crean Lutheran High School, one of the opponents defeated by transgender athlete AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley, took the podium following the official ceremony.

Tuesday marks a rare day for President Donald Trump – there are no events on his public schedule.

‘THE PRESIDENT has no public events scheduled,’ says the schedule released by the White House.

Public schedules don’t reflect all activities of any president. Often phone calls and meetings are not listed.

But Trump typically has a bill signing, press briefing or other public event on his daily schedule.

Of course, things could change throughout the day with events being added.
