$TRUMP Influential executives cozied up to Trump. Now they fear payback.

As Trump’s approval ratings fall, Silicon Valley companies that ingratiated themselves with Trump’s Washington are preparing for the possibility of a Democratic-controlled Congress—and the congressional investigations that could come with it, targeting their relationships with the president and his administration.

Democrats are preparing to investigate some defense technology firms, as well as manufacturing and mining companies that serve the military supply chain, according to conversations with nearly a dozen congressional staffers, political lobbyists, lawyers, investors, and executives. Some spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss upcoming plans publicly.

$TRUMP “‘We’re raking in a hell of a lot of money’ — Trump on high gas prices.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that while ordinary Americans are being forced to pay more at gas stations, U.S. oil companies are earning enormous profits.

Speaking at a rally in Georgia, Trump noted that oil prices are currently ‘temporarily high’ and added that the situation with the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz had forced oil buyers to turn to American companies drilling in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.

‘The United States oil and gas industry is making hundreds of billions of dollars,’ Trump said. ‘Honestly, I don’t care — I’ll say it plainly: we’re raking in a hell of a lot of money.’

However, those profits aren’t exactly being shared with the American public.

$TRUMP 🇳🇴🤦‍♂️“Norway sucks”: Trump criticizes the country for ignoring the Nobel Peace Prize.

On Sunday, during a campaign rally, President Donald Trump made harsh remarks about Norway, saying he did not want people from that country coming to the United States. He also again criticized the Oslo-based Nobel Committee for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

Trump said: “Honestly, Norway sucks. Norway has turned into a garbage country”—a description he has previously used for other countries, including Haiti, Somalia, and Yemen.

🇺🇲🍄🤦‍♂️The Donald Trump administration is actively promoting the accelerated adoption of psychedelic therapies (such as psilocybin and ibogaine) to treat veterans with PTSD.

Nearly one in three veterans who rely on government-provided medical care could benefit from psychedelic drugs such as hallucinogenic mushrooms or MDMA.

This isn’t the opinion of some hippie or fading 1960s rock star. It’s the view of Andrew Gradison, a senior adviser at the Veterans Health Administration under President Donald Trump. At a conference for psychedelic enthusiasts this month, Gradison said he aims to expand the Department of Veterans Affairs’ capacity to provide these drugs to 2.1 million veterans with mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder or depression.

However, as Politico notes, this political pressure is raising serious concerns in the medical community, where rushed approval is considered reckless and premature.

🇮🇱Experts are concerned by Netanyahu’s proposal to use cryptocurrency to evade sanctions.

More than 100 economic experts and former senior Israeli officials have expressed “serious concern and alarm” over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks that Israel could use cryptocurrencies to circumvent potential banking sanctions. Israeli media quoted a statement to this effect on Sunday.

In a strongly worded letter, the authors warn that sweeping sanctions could cause “enormous and irreversible damage” to Israel’s economy. Signatories include Joel Mokyr, the 2025 Nobel Prize laureate in Economic Sciences, and Aaron Ciechanover, the Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry.$BTC $BNB

$TRUMP According to The Daily Beast, Donald Trump privately harshly criticized his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., for accepting financial help from a Russian oligarch to organize his wedding.

It emerged that a significant portion of the costs of Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson’s three-day wedding in the Bahamas in May was paid by Umar Kremlev, a Russian businessman with close ties to Vladimir Putin.

Publicly, Trump Sr. said, “It’s not that big a deal,” and claimed that his son had already repaid Kremlev. Behind closed doors, however, the president complained to advisers about his son’s “poor judgment,” as the situation drew sharp criticism from both U.S. political parties.

Umar Kremlev himself confirmed that hundreds of thousands of dollars had been repaid, but said he did not understand the move, since he had considered the money simply a “hospitable gift.” Trump Jr.’s wife also defended the contribution, calling it a generous gift from a friend.$BNB $BTC

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Audi invests $4 billion in its first U.S. plant amid falling sales!
The German auto giant has officially announced a major expansion into the American market. Key points:

• 🏗️ A historic move: Audi will build its first plant in Macon, Georgia, investing $4–4.2 billion. The project will create 4,500 jobs and enable production of up to 200,000 vehicles a year by the 2030s.

• 📈 Protection from tariffs: Local production of large SUVs (including the upcoming Q9 flagship) will help avoid steep U.S. import tariffs and reduce currency risks.

• 📉 A crisis-response plan: The expansion comes as Audi sales in the U.S. have fallen 16–17%. To stimulate demand, the brand has already introduced a free three-year maintenance program and updated its lineup to suit American tastes.

• ⚡ EV course correction: Due to weak demand for electric vehicles, Audi has temporarily shifted its focus to large internal-combustion and hybrid crossovers, and postponed the A6/S6 e-tron launch until the end of the year, with both models arriving as 2027 model-year vehicles.

U.S. localization is a strong long-term signal for Volkswagen Group shares (Audi’s parent company), aimed at regaining market share in the premium segment.

🇺🇲🇷🇺The first Russian diesel tanker is heading to New York after Trump’s deal with Putin to lower fuel prices.

The first tanker carrying 40,000 tons of diesel fuel left Russia for New York earlier this week following an agreement between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to release millions of tons of diesel fuel into global supplies, Fox News reports.

This comes as diesel prices have surged to more than $6 per gallon in the U.S.

“The first oil tanker has set sail for customers, and regular shipments will continue,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

It’s interesting how Putin and Co. consider the West their main enemy, yet now they’re saving it from high diesel prices 🤦‍♂️$BNB $ETH $BTC

$TRUMP Trump wants a third term.

At a campaign rally in Iowa, Donald Trump once again claimed he has the “right” to run for a third presidential term in 2028 (which directly violates the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution), justifying this with his old false claims that the results of the 2020 election were “stolen” from him.

“They cheated us a second time, because we won three times. So I think I have the right to run again.”
(Donald Trump at a rally in Sioux City, Iowa)

Although Trump’s allies call these remarks simply “trolling” his opponents, critics have expressed serious concern, since Trump has brought up the prospect of a third term more than once and is even selling “Trump 2028” merchandise in his store. The politician himself acknowledges that the wording of the U.S. Constitution on this matter is very strict and leaves no “room for maneuver.”$BMT $BNB

$TRUMP Trump: The US will deal with Cuba after Iran.

Trump was speaking at a rally in Fort Myers, Florida. He was talking about successes in Venezuela and Iran when someone in the audience shouted, “What about Cuba?”

🇺🇲🇮🇷Trump’s ambassador to the UN says the war with Iran could drag on for another year.

Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton warned on Friday that Iran had “significantly stepped up its efforts targeting American personnel” abroad, and that plots to kill US citizens in the Middle East and other countries were already at an “advanced stage.”

US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz told the Financial Times in an interview that the war with Iran could last another year, but said he hoped Iran would “come to the negotiating table” before then.

On Friday, Brent crude briefly topped $117 a barrel—the highest level since the conflict began—after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had disabled seven tankers in the Strait of Hormuz area. On Thursday, President Trump accused Iran of lying about attacks on ships in an attempt to artificially drive up oil prices ahead of the US midterm elections.$BMT $BNB

James responded to Trump’s criticism.

Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse described Trump’s statement as unnecessary outside noise.

$TRUMP 🤭“A pathetic spectacle”: Trump mocked over a completely insane new fake award.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump received one of the most extravagant “fake” awards: a Republican congressional candidate presented him with a “Man of the Century” certificate.

Trump has openly coveted all sorts of awards—from an Emmy to a Pulitzer—but most of all, he dreamed of winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He has been obsessed with the idea for years and has publicly complained that former President Barack Obama has one, while he does not. What’s more, Trump believes he should have received “four or five” of them by now.

To fill that gap, Trump’s supporters often give him awards of their own—some quite real (for example, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado handed him her Nobel Peace Prize), and others made up, like the FIFA Peace Prize, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino presented to him.

Critics on social media didn’t miss the chance to mock Trump.$BNB $ETH

🤥Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has been accused of lobbying on behalf of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

During Donald Trump’s first term as president, his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner had access to a bank account into which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE leader Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. Journalist Matthew Cole writes about this in his book about Kushner. Kushner himself called the accusations “crazy.”

Matthew Cole describes in detail the story of a secret fund into which the leaders of the UAE and Saudi Arabia transferred money, and which Kushner had access to, in his book “Princes and Thieves: The Secret Plot by Jared Kushner and Mohammed bin Zayed to Remake the Middle East.” After Vanity Fair published an excerpt from the book, Jared Kushner called the investigation “an outrageous fabrication” and “a mixture of fantasy, fiction, and biased propaganda.”

$TRUMP A lawsuit accuses Trump of illegally profiting from foreign cryptocurrency deals.

A lawsuit filed Thursday accuses President Donald Trump and a cryptocurrency company owned by his family of “corrupt enrichment” through digital currency deals worth more than $2 billion, in violation of constitutional restrictions on accepting payments from foreign sources.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington by J. Benjamin Greenberg, a Circle shareholder and former employee, concerns two alleged instances of “unlawful foreign emoluments.” They involve World Liberty and Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates’ national security adviser.

A few days before Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, an entity backed by Sheikh Tahnoon—often called the “spy sheikh” because of his considerable influence in the intelligence field—agreed to acquire a 49% stake in World Liberty for $500 million...$BNB $MAGMA

$TRUMP Trump was ordered to answer questions under oath as part of the BBC lawsuit.

Trump sued the BBC over an episode of the program “Panorama,” which combined two excerpts from a speech he gave before the 2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol.

On October 16, Trump canceled his scheduled deposition, citing “matters of national importance.”

However, the lawyer representing the BBC told the court that Trump was campaigning in Georgia that day and “prioritized that” over answering questions.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Anjolie Lett ruled that Trump must give a deposition as part of the pretrial discovery process by December 11. Otherwise, he could face sanctions, up to and including dismissal of the case (unless the deadline for this process is extended).$SOL
