Donald Trump held a press conference in the Oval Office last night to talk about his ‘crime surge’ – and there’s plenty more going on in Trump World
Donald Trump summoned the press to the Oval Office last night, boasting about the success of his crime crackdown, writes Mikey Smith.
FBI director Kash Patel was full of admiration for Trump as they both took credit for the recent decrease in violent crime rates. For instance, Memphis had already reached a 25-year low in overall crime before Trump’s task force was even introduced.
Yet, Patel continued to heap praise on Trump, crediting him with the achievement: “You did that in SEVEN MONTHS because you let good cops be cops.” It comes in a week where Trump was blasted for ‘incensitive and sick’ remarks about a fallen friend.

One statistic that has indeed increased is the number of arrests in areas targeted by Trump – but the quality of these arrests and their potential to result in convictions remains uncertain, reports the Mirror.
Regardless, Trump seems to have developed an appetite for it. After a chat with Egyptian president Abdel Fattah El-Sisi over the weekend, he enthusiastically praised the low crime rates under the often brutally authoritarian regime.
Trump and Patel then assured – or perhaps warned – that there’s more to come.
“Now it’s like a passion for me,” Trump declared, stating that his actions were “many many steps above” what he’d promised and “we’re just at the start.”
He’s started referring to it as “the surge”.
So, brace yourselves, San Francisco, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, New York…you might be next.
Meanwhile in Trump world
- Trump is ‘planning to launch missiles at California
- Stephen Miller’s ‘true feelings’ might be a little too much for prime time
- Mamdani sent a defiant message to Trump on his home turf
- Pam Bondi says Antifa is real because people have the same placards
- The kids who beat up Big Balls got sentenced
- He unveiled the Arc De Trump
- And he said he “hopes” more of his enemies will be investigated…while standing right next to the Attorney General
Everything is fine. Here’s what you need to know.
The Surge
1. Trump Allegedly Plans to ‘Launch Missiles at California’.
A shocking report from Meidas News suggests that Donald Trump is planning to order a major road closure this Friday and Saturday, with the intention of launching missiles at California. The plans are reportedly being finalized for two days of events, under the guise of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Marine Corps.
Alongside a “vanity parade”, it’s alleged that Navy warships will fire live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force”. JD Vance is expected to attend, and the timing of the parade seems to coincide with the No Kings protests planned across the country this weekend.
2. Stephen Miller’s True Feelings Might Be ‘Too Much’.
During last night’s Oval Office Q&A, Trump gave a revealing shoutout to the White House’s deputy prince of darkness, Stephen Miller. “I want to thank Stephen Miller,” he said.
“I would love to have him come up and explain his true feelings. Maybe not his truest feelings. That might be going a little too far.”
If you’re interested in learning about some of Stephen Miller’s truest feelings, Jean Guerrero’s book “Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump and the White Nationalist Agenda” comes highly recommended. It’s both excellent and chilling.
3. Mamdani Sends Defiant Message to Trump on Fox News.
Many were surprised to see New York mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani appear on Fox News yesterday.
However, his intentions became clear when he addressed the president directly during the interview.
“I just want to speak directly to the president,” he declared.
“I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won’t be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own. I will, however, be a mayor who is ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living. That’s the way I’m going to lead this city. That’s the partnership I want to build.”
4. Pam Bondi asserts Antifa is real due to identical signs at protests.
The administration is preparing to denounce a planned “No Kings” rally in Washington DC on Saturday, organized by Democrat-leaning and anti-Trump groups, as an “Antifa rally”. They are labeling the tens of thousands of peaceful Americans expected to attend as ‘terrorists’ and ‘criminals’.
Attorney General Pam Bondi is the latest to use this type of rhetoric – the same kind that the Trump administration has been vocally criticizing from the left following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
“That’s one of the things about Antifa,” she stated on Fox News.
“You’re seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match – pre-bought, pre-put together – they’re organized and someone is funding it.”
Firstly, Antifa isn’t a real entity, as Pam Bondi is fully aware. It’s a phantom menace conjured up by Republicans and Fox News, among others.
Secondly, if you’re looking for a crowd waving pre-purchased, pre-assembled signs, Trump rallies are your go-to.
Moreover, anyone who has attended a protest will tell you that the troublemakers are rarely the ones holding signs.
5. The teens who assaulted ‘Big Balls’ received probation.
In a significant setback for the “surge” – and likely a harbinger of future events – the teenagers who attacked former DOGE staffer Edward ‘Big Balls’ Christine were sentenced to probation with no jail time.
A 15 year old boy was given a year’s probation after pleading guilty to four charges stemming from two incidents in August – the attempted robbery and assault of Big Balls, and a felony assault and robbery at a nearby gas station earlier the same night.
A 15 year old girl pleaded guilty to one count of assault for pepper spraying someone at the gas station. In exchange for her guilty plea, a second assault charge was dropped, and she received nine months probation.
The judge’s sentence mirrored the prosecutors’ requests, and the DC attorney general had not requested jail time.
“That’s terrible,” Trump commented last night. He added: “The judge should be ashamed.”
Trump’s health
6. Trump mixed up Iran and India.
In what many will view as yet another indication of his declining mental sharpness, the aging President confused India with Iran.
“I was in the midst of negotiating a trade deal with Iran and Pakistan I heard they are shooting at each other. Two nuclear powers,” he said.
Incidentally, Iran isn’t a nuclear power. Trump ordered airstrikes to ensure that stayed true.
But we believe he meant India, since Pakistan and Iran haven’t been exchanging fire lately.
“I said here’s the deal: You go to war and I’m going to put a 200% tariff and stop you from doing any business in the United States. Within 24 hours the war ended. That would have been a nuclear war.”
For the record, India’s officials have rejected claims that Trump’s intervention played any role in the ceasefire between the two nations.
Defense Minister Rajnath Singh stated in July that it was “completely incorrect and baseless to say that the military action was stopped because of pressure”.
“India halted its operation because all the political and military objectives studied before and during the conflict had been fully achieved,” he added.
General authoritarianism
7. Trump acknowledges he only succeeded in “stopping wars” by threatening tariffs.
Trump openly confessed in the Oval office last night that “5 or 6” of the “wars” he prevented resulted from him threatening all involved parties with 200% tariffs. You might be thinking, well, it’s a unique approach to international diplomacy, but if it works, it works.
However, history has shown that the threat of conflict truly diminishes only when disputes between adversaries are genuinely resolved, not under pressure from external threats…which theoretically have a three-year expiration date.
On that note, if I were a President who desired to remain in office indefinitely, I’d probably want to keep the argument “if I leave office wars will break out all over the world” handy.
8. He unveiled plans for the Arc De Trump.
As those who regularly tune into Oval Office QandAs may have already deduced, Trump is planning to construct a massive marble arch in Washington DC to commemorate the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.
It’s been dubbed the “Arc De Trump” – although some critics have compared the design to the work of Albert Speer, the Nazi-era architect known for designing grand structures in Germany – and who had long planned an arch in Berlin that never came to fruition.
Critics also contend that the colossal structure would obstruct the view between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
Sight lines from Lincoln are a big deal in DC. When the World War II memorial was constructed in the mid-2000s, it had to be sunk six feet below ground level to avoid blocking Mr. Lincoln’s view of the Capitol building.
9. He stated that erecting a statue of a racist traitor who waged war to maintain slavery legal would be “ok with me”.
Discussing his proposed arch, Trump pointed out its proximity to a location where plans had been made in 1902 to erect a statue of Confederate General, traitor and racist Robert E Lee.
“Would have been OK with me,” he said with a smirk. “Would’ve been OK with a lot of the people in this room..”
10. Trump expressed his “hopes” for more investigations into his adversaries…while standing right next to the Attorney General.
Donald Trump isn’t even trying to hide his direct messages to Pam Bondi anymore.
During his oval office Q&A last night, he openly pondered about wanting to see more of his political rivals investigated while she and FBI director Kash Patel were standing right next to him.
11. Trump continues to spread falsehoods about the 2020 election loss.
Trump frequently lies about the 2020 election, but the intensity with which he promoted his false narrative about the race being stolen from him – especially in Georgia – was something noteworthy.
“I won Georgia three times,” he falsely claimed.
“But they say twice. I won it big the second time but we had criminals that didn’t allow..”
While still standing next to Patel and Bondi, he added: “I hope they’re gonna go into that. I hope they go into the votes which are being stored in Fulton County and take a real look at those votes, because I won it the second time too.”
12. Also, this guy again.
Come for the lies, stay for “reporter” Brian Glenn immediately flattering the President, saying: “Mr President, by the way, you won Georgia three times.”
Let’s say it together, three, two, one: Brian Glenn is not a journalist. We’re not exactly sure what he is, but he’s definitely not a journalist.
