Trump Jr.’s eldest daughter, Kai, 18, is also in the spotlight for her shared passion for golf with her grandfather. Kai recently drew attention at the 2024 Republican National Convention, where she spoke in glowing terms about President Trump during her highly praised debut speech.
The family’s departure follows several days in the United Kingdom, where the president spent time at his world-famous golf resorts in Scotland while also engaging in high-level diplomatic talks. During the trip, Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and the two leaders reportedly worked through trade tariff issues as both nations look to strengthen economic ties.
If carried out, this would make the UK the second G7 country, following France, to commit to Palestinian recognition — a decision that would significantly shift the geopolitical landscape. The announcement comes 77 years after the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, a historic event that displaced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs.
The timing of Starmer’s statement coincides with dire reports from Gaza, where widespread starvation has become a growing concern. Israeli blockades have intensified the situation, pushing the region to the brink of famine.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed back against accusations that Israel is restricting aid, while strongly condemning France’s move toward recognizing Palestine.
In a rare departure from his usual stance, President Trump publicly criticized Netanyahu’s response to the crisis, particularly comments dismissing reports of starvation.
Meanwhile, the United States has stepped up relief efforts, sending an estimated $60 million in humanitarian aid to Gaza over the weekend in an attempt to ease the suffering.
Hours after President Donald Trump told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
Hours after President Donald Trump told Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to “go to hell” in a fiery social media post Saturday, the Senate adjourned for summer break without reaching an agreement on confirming his pending nominees.
Sources familiar with the talks told CNN that Senate GOP Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), Schumer (D-N.Y.), and White House officials had been locked in tense negotiations aimed at breaking the impasse and allowing lawmakers to return to their home states.
According to the sources, Schumer had demanded the release of certain federal funds and sought assurances that Trump would not pursue another budget-cutting legislative package before agreeing to any deal, CNN noted.
But, on social media, Trump called Schumer’s demands “egregious and unprecedented,” a sign that talks had gotten nowhere.
Trump had pushed for the Senate to confirm his nominees, even if it meant forgoing the August recess, but his post made clear he had no intention of conceding to the Democrats’ demands.
“Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL! Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country. Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!,” Trump added.
On Saturday night, Thune took to the Senate floor to request unanimous consent for the chamber to vote on a select group of nominations before adjourning for a month-long recess.
Democrats had been slow-walking President Trump’s lower-level nominees, prompting Senate GOP Leader John Thune to keep the chamber in session over the weekend to push them through. Though in the minority, Democrats wield procedural tools that can force Republicans to clear time-consuming hurdles before votes can take place.
According to sources familiar with the talks, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made several demands in exchange for expediting a batch of confirmations. These included unfreezing federal funds for programs like the National Institutes of Health and foreign aid, as well as securing a promise from Trump not to pursue another round of spending cuts—following a $9 billion rescissions package passed earlier this summer.
At a Saturday night press conference, Schumer said Democrats were “serious” about negotiating a “reasonable path” to bipartisan confirmation of nominees, but said the president refused to accept their terms, CNN said.
All said, however, Democrats are finding themselves in an increasingly perilous situation some 15 months before the midterm elections. The party is at historically low levels of approval, according to a series of polls this year, and fundraising has fallen far short of GOP efforts.
In fact, Trump’s campaign and allied political committees have already met his ambitious $1.4 billion fundraising goal — more than a year ahead of schedule — setting the stage for what insiders say will be record-breaking spending in the midterms.

Trump set the goal shortly after securing a second term, vowing to use his political operation to protect House and Senate Republicans and ensure one-party control of Congress throughout his presidency, The New York Post reported.
The $1.4 billion target was first revealed in May, when Trump’s team disclosed a $600 million haul — already a historic figure. On Friday, they announced the goal had been met in full through a combination of cash on hand and pledged donations, funneled through the Republican National Committee and his super PAC, Make America Great Again, Inc.
