Trump’s BIGGEST ‘Betrayal’ To Americans? GOP Ally Slams Ukraine War Funding As Backstab To Voters

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a “complete betrayal” of American taxpayers. Referring to Trump’s 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democrats—and some neocon Republicans—of pushing an “America LAST” agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently. Greene even called Israel’s Gaza offensive a “genocide,” highlighting deep fractures within Trump’s GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trump’s support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust. #MarjorieTaylorGreene #UkraineWar #GazaCrisis #Trump2024 #RepublicanDivide #USForeignPolicy #AmericaFirst #WarFunding #IsraelPalestine #Betrayal #TaxpayerMoney #StopTheWars #KievConflict #TrumpVsGOP #YoungVoterBacklash #TrumpMissiles #PatriotMissiles #MiddleEastTensions #BidenForeignPolicy #AmericanVoters Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

‘Kamala Should Be Jailed!’ Trump ACCUSES Democrats Of Illegal Celebrity Payments | 2024 Elections [Video]

‘Kamala Should Be Jailed!’ Trump ACCUSES Democrats Of Illegal Celebrity Payments | 2024 Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm by accusing the Democratic Party of committing “fraud” during the 2024 election campaign. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Democrats paid millions to celebrities for endorsements—an act he called “totally illegal.” He alleged $11 million was funneled to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton. Trump emphasized that none of the celebrities performed or contributed meaningfully, calling it a misuse of campaign funds and accusing them of falsifying financial records. He concluded with a demand for the prosecution of Vice President Kamala Harris and others “who broke the law.” Trump's latest explosive allegations have reignited debates on the legality of political endorsements, celebrity influence in elections, and campaign financing ethics. His claims, if proven, could carry legal and electoral consequences. The White House and Democratic Party are yet to respond. #TrumpVsKamala #EndorsementScandal #CelebrityFraud #BeyoncePolitics #TrumpTruthSocial #KamalaHarris #ElectionFraudClaims #CampaignCorruption #PoliticalEndorsement #OprahWinfrey #DonaldTrumpNews #Sharpton #DemocratsScandal #IllegalPayments #BreakingPolitics #TrumpAllegesFraud #2024ElectionControversy #TruthSocialPost #TrumpDemandsProsecution ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~

Donald Trump Swoons Over Sydney Sweeney After Reports That She's a Registered Republican | THR News Video

Donald Trump is weighing in on reports that Sydney Sweeney is a registered republican in the wake of her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign.

Trump Defends Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Jeans Ad — It’s 'Fantastic' Because She’s a Republican

U.S. President Donald Trump is under fire after praising actress Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad — one critics are calling a "white supremacist dog whistle." Trump called the ad “fantastic” during a media interaction, but only after being informed that Sweeney is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The ad, which uses the pun “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” has been accused of having racial undertones and promoting problematic narratives. Online backlash exploded, yet Trump doubled down on his support, further politicizing the already heated campaign. This isn’t the first time Sweeney’s political affiliations have made headlines. From her MAGA-themed family party photos to her current GOP registration, the actress is quickly becoming a lightning rod in Hollywood’s culture wars. Watch the full video to see how fashion, politics, and celebrity culture collided — and why Trump’s comments may have made it worse. #Trump #SydneySweeney #AmericanEagle #TrumpSpeech #GOPHollywood #ControversialAd #WhiteSupremacy #MAGA #BreakingNews #RepublicanCelebrity #SweeneyAdBacklash #CultureWars #NobelPeacePrize #TrumpControversy #JeansAdScandal #TruthSocial #PoliticsAndFashion ~HT.178~PR.274~ED.103~
