    Trump pushes eye-popping slashes for Americans in multibillion-dollar budget proposal

    By JON MICHAEL RAASCH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

    Published: 08:48 EDT, 2 May 2025 | Updated: 16:50 EDT, 2 May 2025

    Donald Trump is proposing major budget cuts to foreign aid and green energy in his billion-dollar budget for Fiscal Year 2026.

    The proposal includes about $163 billion in cuts to key health, labor and housing programs but will bolster defense spending. 

    It’s estimated to allot $557 billion for non-defense programs for 2026. Trump is also asking for a record $1 trillion for national security. 

    Earlier, he pushed for a controversial change to a beloved American federal holiday.

    The president announced on Thursday that he would celebrate May 8 as ‘Victory Day for World War II.’

    And he plans to rename Veterans Day, calling it ‘Victory Day for World War I.’ 

    Breaking:Trump White House releases FY2026 budget

    President Donald Trump released his budget blueprint on Friday, which contains about $163 billion in cuts to federal education, health, housing and labor programs but boosts defense spending.

    Among the areas facing cuts are National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and various climate programs. Education spending would fall by $12 billion.

    Trump also wants to cut $500 million from the FBI’s budget. He has complained about the ‘weaponization’ of the government.

    Meanwhile, the Defense Department would get a $1.01 trillion increase in funds.

    The budget is just a blueprint, showing the president’s priorities as his administration enters negotiations with Congress.

    Harvard’s president warns Trump taking away their tax-exempt status would be ‘illegal’

    By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent

    Harvard University President Alan Garber slammed President Trump’s threat to remove the school’s tax-exempt status, calling it ‘highly illegal’ and ‘destructive to Harvard.’

    ‘The message that it sends to the educational community would be a very dire one, which suggests that political disagreements could be used as a basis to pose what might be an existential threat to so many educational institutions,’ Garber said told the Wall Street Journal.

    ‘If the government goes through with a plan to revoke our tax exempt status, it would…be highly illegal unless there is some reasoning that we have not been exposed to that would justify this dramatic move,’ he noted.

    Garber added: ‘Tax exempt status is granted to educational institutions to enable them to successfully carry out their mission of education and, for research universities, of research. Obviously that would be severely impaired if we were to lose our tax exempt status.’

    Inside Trump’s massive military parade plans for his 79th birthday with 6,600 soldiers and 50 helicopters

    The Army is making plans for a massive parade in Washington, D.C. celebrating its 250th year that coincides with President Donald Trump‘s birthday.

    It will feature marching troops, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, rows of howitzers, and other symbols of American might.

    As many as 6,300 of the service members will march, with another 300 in support, in a demonstration of power and organization.

    Trump’s Mr. Fixit Marco Rubio becomes ‘new Kissinger’ with record four big government jobs

    Marco Rubio has captured a powerful role as President Trump’s national security advisor while also serving as secretary of state – and there are indications he could hold both jobs indefinitely.

    ‘I could see a scenario where it’s permanent,’ a senior White House official told the Daily Mail, hours after Trump stunned Washington by pushing out Mike Waltz on his 101st day in office.

    The president announced the move Thursday after news broke that Waltz, who was central to the ‘Signalgate’ fiasco, was his nominee to be ambassador to the UN.

    By Emily Goodin, senior White House correspondent

    Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he will visit President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday.

    The visit will come amid a trade war between the two nations and as Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to annex Canada as America’s 51st state.

    ‘We are meeting as heads of our government,’ Carney said at a press conference in Toronto. ‘I am not pretending those discussions will be easy.’

    An exclusive poll from DailyMail and J&L Partners found Canadians wanted a prime minister who will stand up to Trump.

    Carney also announced King Charles will make a state visit on May 27 and attend the opening of Parliament in Ottawa.

    Charles, who has invited Trump for a state visit to the United Kingdom, has been balancing his desire to support Canada with an appeasement of the American president.

    Canada is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations and Charles is its head of state.

    Mitch McConnell blasts ‘accounting gimmicks’ in Trump’s Pentagon boost

    The Trump budget’s $163 billion in cuts to ‘non-defense discretionary spending’ along with a 13 percent boost to $1 trillion in defense spending has not won over Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

    McConnell, 83, a retiring powerful appropriations ‘cardinal,’ ripped as a ‘gimmick’ Trump’s plan to move the money through protected ‘reconciliation’ spending rather than plussing up the annual appropriations bill.

    ‘It is peculiar how much time the President’s advisors spend talking about restoring peace through strength, given how apparently unwilling they’ve been to invest accordingly in the national defense or in other critical instruments of national powe,’ McConnell said in a slashing statement.

    ‘In March, the Trump Administration missed a tremendous opportunity to answer their predecessors’ chronic underinvestment in the U.S. military with robust, full-year funding for FY25. Now, it appears the Trump Administration’s FY26 defense budget request will double down on the Biden Administration’s material neglect for the glaring national security threats challenges about which they speak with great alarm.’

    ‘Make no mistake: a one-time influx reconciliation spending is not a substitute for full-year appropriations. It’s a supplement. OMB accounting gimmicks may well convince Administration officials and spokesmen that they’re doing enough to counter the growing, coordinated challenges we face from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and radical terrorists. But they won’t fool Congress,’ he wrote, calling the request a ‘real-dollar cut to the U.S. military.’

    Republican applauds Trump’s budget proposal for cutting budget by 20 percent

    Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter for DailyMail.com

    Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., has congratulated President Donald Trump on proposing a drastically reduced budget to slash ‘bloated’ and ‘woke’ priorities.

    Ogles posted on social media Friday that the proposal will cut ‘the bloated, woke, and weaponized bureaucracy by 20%—rolling it back even further than pre-COVID levels.’

    The congressman also noted how the budget reflects deep cuts promised by Republicans during the 2024 election.

    ‘Paired with our plan to axe wasteful spending, reform Medicaid, and deliver permanent Trump tax cuts, we’re set to bring strength, prosperity, and liberty to the American people,’ Ogles wrote.

    The Kamala Harris 60 Minutes interview that triggered Trump nominated for major award

    A controversial interview featuring former Vice President Kamala Harris has been nominated for an Emmy, despite President Donald Trump’s criticism of the editorial process.

    The story was nominated for an Emmy Award on Thursday for ‘outstanding edited interview.’

    Trump famously protested the interview during the election, especially after it was revealed that one of the vice president’s lengthy spiraling answer to one of the questions was edited to make her sound better and more succinct.

    Exclusive:Tulsi Gabbard rips apart ‘wokeness’ in national intelligence with massive anti-DEI wins in first 100 days

    Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter for DailyMail.com

    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is celebrating how many DEI policies she has been able to cancel in the Trump administration’s first 100 days.

    During a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Gabbard, 44, told all the president’s people that her agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), is about 25 percent ‘smaller and more lean’ than when she started.

    ‘During President Trump’s first 100 days in office, I eliminated DEI programs and policies at ODNI, and revoked security clearances and access to classified information for numerous individuals who abused public trust for political purposes,’ Gabbard said in a statement provided to the Daily Mail.

    ‘We are saving taxpayers millions and ensuring President Trump’s policymakers receive unbiased intelligence assessments to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.’

    The director has already canceled all DEI initiatives at the agency, cut over $150 million in spending, shuttered explicit employee chatrooms called the ‘NSA sex chats’ and more, ODNI staff shared with the Daily Mail.

    Trump’s move to rename Veterans Day stirs up fury online

    Trump’s plan to rename Veterans Day and rename May 8 ‘Victory in World War II Day’ is stirring up reaction online.

    One X account, American Veteran, an anti-Trump account with nearly 100,000 followers, posted on the renaming and brough up the president’s multiple deferments during the Vietnam era.

    ‘Trump, you are a draft dodging coward keep away from our Veterans celebrations. Veterans Day was never to celebrate “victories”, its celebrate service [sic]. Something you don’t know one damn thing about. This is idiotic.’

    Secretary of State Marco Rubio responded to the jokes that, in addition to all his other duties in the Trump administration, he could be the next pope.

    ‘No, we thought about it, but you have to – it’s an unmarried Catholic male. You don’t have to be a priest. People don’t know that,’ he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Thursday night.

    ‘Any unmarried Catholic male can be pope, but I got married and I’m happily married, so I guess I’ll miss out on that one.’

    Rubio and his wife Jeanette married in October 1998 and have four children.

    In addition to heading the State Department for President Donald Trump, Rubio also serves as the National Security Advisor, the Acting USAID Administrator, and the Acting Archivist.

    After Trump gave Rubio his latest job on Thursday – the NSA position – Vice President JD Vance joked on Twitter that Rubio – a devout Catholic – could also be pope.

    Pope Francis died April 21st. The conclave to elect a new pontiff begins on May 7th.

    Trump announces he is ‘renaming’ Veterans Day and V-E Day because ‘we won both wars’

    By Geoff Earle, Deputy U.S. Political Editor

    President Donald Trump posted his intention to ‘rename’ May 8th ‘Victory Day’ and rename Veterans Day and Armistice Day as ‘Victory Day for World War I.’

    His announcement came in a Truth Social post in advance of the day that has been known as V-E Day or for the Allied victory in Europe.

    His post comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares to stage a major parade in Moscow May 9 attended by other world leaders including China’s Xi Jinping to celebrate the Russia’s role in the victory over the Nazis in World War II.

    It has been in the news after Putin proposed a temporary ceasefire around the parade even while refusing to back an immediate ceasefire in the war on Ukraine, prompting pushback from Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky said Russia was ‘worried that their parade is in jeopardy, and rightly so,’ raising alarm in Moscow.

    ‘We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything — That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!’ Trump wrote late Thursday night.

    Trump frequently speaks about the importance of ‘winning,’ although the Allied victory in World War II happened more than 80 years ago. The Soviet Union lost a staggering number of troops, estimated at between 9 and 11 million, in the effort on the Eastern Front.

    Congress has designated the existing federal holidays, so it was not immediately clear what the impact of Trump’s proclamation would be.

    Trump targets Harvard’s tax exempt status

    President Donald Trump announced on Friday he’s taking away Harvard’s tax exempt status as he escalates his war on ivy league universities.

    ‘We are going to be taking away Harvard’s Tax Exempt Status. It’s what they deserve!,’ he wrote on Truth Social.

    The president, since taking office in January, has gone after America’s elite schools by freezing their federal funding and revoking student visas as part of the fallout from protests on campuses against Israel’s war in Gaza.

    Harvard has been fighting the administration’s new demands.

    April jobs report beats expectations

    Employers in the United States added 177,000 jobs in April, pushing past analyst predictions of 135,000.

    The unemployment rate remained at 4.2 percent, the same rate as March.

    The news was reassuring to the markets, as analysts were watching for any changes as a result of President Donald Trump’s tariffs and dramatic cuts in the federal workforce.

    MAGA star who influenced Trump aide ‘bloodbath’ firings hints she was behind Mike Waltz’s ouster

    Provocative far-right commentator Laura Loomer hinted that she may have helped oust Mike Waltz from his national security adviser role.

    Loomer told journalist Tara Palmeri that she had sounded the alarm about Waltz’s anti-Trump past and claimed he hadn’t vetted his staff to weed out liberals.

    Waltz has been a lightning rod for controversy in the still-nascent second Trump administration. He has been to blame for accidentally leaking military plans to the press via an unfortunate Signal group chat.
