Why Trump’s constant attacks and his sniping with Elon Musk helps him and keeps the media scrambling
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Donald Trump is relishing all this, flaming every target in sight – or trying to put out fires in Los Angeles – as a president who loves being at war.
Elon Musk, clearly missing the spotlight, is using X as a weapon, calling for his former pal’s impeachment – but deleting his tweet tying Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in what might be viewed as an apology.
Gavin Newsom is all fired up, daring Trump’s border czar to arrest him and accusing the president of inflaming the situation by dispatching the National Guard over his objections.

The media are eagerly drinking from the Trump fire hose in the greatest, most entertaining breakup since Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni were denouncing each other. But several journalists were injured covering the violent L.A. protests, even as they reported that the vast majority of demonstrators are peaceful.
And for me, it meant a crazy hour of television.

We made lots of last-minute changes on «Media Buzz,» but the biggest one involved ABC correspondent and anchor Terry Moran. I was tapping out the script on my phone during commercial breaks.
For reasons I’ll never be able to fathom, Moran posted a scathing attack on White House domestic policy chief Stephen Miller, calling him a «world-class hater.» He also put Trump in the same category.
LIBERALS, ANTI-TRUMP FIGURES BASH ABC FOR SUSPENDING TERRY MORAN OVER SOCIAL MEDIA RANT
On Maria Bartiromo’s show, which airs before mine, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Moran should be suspended or fired. Shortly after we went off the air, ABC suspended Moran, saying he had violated company standards. I’ll never fathom why he blew up his career.
You can’t overcover a public meltdown like this – Trump now saying Musk had «worn thin» and he’d asked him to leave – but journalists have a high-minded justification for the low-rent sniping. The president’s entire agenda is wrapped up in the not-so-beautiful bill, including border funding, tax cuts, food stamps and trimming the Medicaid rolls.
The measure passed the House by a single vote because a number of hard-line Republicans agree with Musk that it’s a «disgusting abomination» which, at a minimum, would boost the deficit by $2.4 billion over 10 years.
But Trump is like a movie studio mogul who simultaneously moves from one sound stage to the next. And that is a challenge to journalists who race to keep up–but also boosts ratings as he constantly taking questions from the reporters and producers he also denigrates. It’s a love-hate relationship, but lately, mostly hate.

Trump issued a travel ban on 12 countries, mostly in the Middle East and Africa. Big story.

Trump is battling elite law firms, many of which are caving and agreeing to provide up to $125 million in free services rather than lose access to classified material that would cause an exodus of clients. Big story.
Trump backed off on criticizing Vladimir Putin after that incredible Ukrainian drone strike decimated a third of the Russian fleet, thousands of miles away. Now he says he may walk away from a war in which Putin has no conceivable interest in peace. Big story.
ZELENSKYY DISMISSES TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT RUSSIA WANTS PEACE, SAYS HE KNOWS PUTIN ‘MUCH BETTER’
Trump issued a wave of controversial pardons, especially one for a man who committed fraud by stealing from his employees, which came after his mother, a big-time GOP donor, paid $1 million to get face time with the president at a Mar-a-Lago fundraising dinner. Now he avoids a jail term and having to make over $4 million in restitution to his victims. Big story.
Trump is freezing funds for Harvard and investigating the Harvard Law Review. Big stories.

Trump has ordered an investigation of Joe Biden and the undisputed coverup of his mental decline, arguing that his actions could be overturned if top aides were making the decisions. Huge story. But the coverage has been muted, in part because the press doesn’t take it seriously and Democrats don’t want to fuel any story that involves more visibility for Biden.
This nonstop gusher may deflect criticism that Trump is profiting from the presidency by selling meme coins and other items that once would have prompted an uproar.

President Donald Trump arrived in Scotland late Friday for a working trip where he is expected to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer amid ongoing trade negotiations between the U.S. and the U.K., as well as visit several of his properties there.
«We’re meeting with the prime minister tonight,» Trump told reporters Friday before departing for Scotland. «We’re going to be talking about the trade deal that we made, and maybe even improve it.»
«We want to talk about certain aspects, which is going to be good for both countries,» Trump said. «More fine-tuning. Also, we’re going to do a little celebrating together, because, you know, we got along very well. U.K.’s been trying to make a deal with us for like, 12 years, and haven’t been able to do it. We got it done, and he’s doing a very good job, this prime minister. Good guy.»
TRUMP HEADS TO SCOTLAND TO TALK GOLF, POLITICS AND TRADE
President Donald Trump waves as he arrives at Glasgow Prestwick Airport on July 25, 2025, in Prestwick, Scotland.
In May, the U.S. and the U.K. announced the two countries had agreed to a major trade deal, which marked the first historic trade negotiation signed following Liberation Day, when Trump announced widespread tariffs for multiple countries April 2 at a range of rates.
Trump, who is slated to remain in Scotland until Tuesday, is also scheduled to visit his golf courses in Turnberry and Aberdeen while abroad.
Here’s also what happened this week:
Federal Reserve visit
Trump visited the Federal Reserve headquarters Thursday, as he has ramped up digs at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
Trump accompanied other administration officials for a tour of the headquarters, following $2.5 billion in renovations to the building. The massive project has attracted scrutiny from lawmakers and members of the Trump administration, including the president, who suggested the huge renovation could amount to a fireable offense.
«I think he’s terrible … I didn’t see him as a guy that needed a palace to live in,» Trump said July 16. «But the one thing I would have never guessed is that he would be spending two and a half billion dollars to build a little extension onto the Fed.»
FOUR KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM TRUMP’S VISIT TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE WITH POWELL
President Donald Trump speaks with Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell (right) as he visits the Federal Reserve in Washington, July 24, 2025.
On Thursday, the two briefly sparred over the cost of the renovation, but Trump told reporters afterward that the two had a «good meeting» and that there was «no tension.» Trump also shut down speculation he might oust Powell, claiming such a move would be unnecessary.
The Federal Reserve, the United States central bank, oversees the nation’s monetary policy and regulates financial institutions.
Trump historically has railed against Powell, calling him names like «numskull» and «too late.» Likewise, Trump has expressed ire toward Powell for ignoring requests to lower interest rates.
«Well, I’d love him to lower interest rates, but other than that, what can I tell you?» Trump said Thursday.
Rescissions package signing
Trump signed into law Thursday his roughly $9 billion rescissions package to claw back already approved federal funds for foreign aid and public broadcasting.
The rescissions measure revoked nearly $8 billion in funding Congress already approved for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a formerly independent agency that provided impoverished countries aid and offered development assistance.
The rescissions package also rescinds more than $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which provides federal funding for NPR and PBS.

Israel reanuda el lanzamiento de ayuda sobre Gaza en medio de una grave crisis humanitaria
En medio de una creciente presión internacional para permitir el ingreso de asistencia humanitaria a la Franja de Gaza, Israel reanudó este sábado el lanzamiento aéreo de alimentos y suministros básicos. El Ejército informó que arrojó siete paquetes con harina, azúcar y comida enlatada, como parte del esfuerzo por «facilitar la entrada de ayuda» al territorio palestino.
La iniciativa también incluirá la participación del Reino Unido y Emiratos Árabes Unidos, que anunciaron su disposición para sumarse de inmediato a los envíos.
Sin embargo, la ONU y organizaciones humanitarias insisten en que esta modalidad no resuelve el problema de fondo. «El lanzamiento aéreo no pondrá fin al hambre. Es costoso, ineficaz y puede incluso matar a civiles hambrientos», escribió en la red X Philippe Lazzarini, director de la agencia de la ONU para los refugiados palestinos (UNRWA).
Este sábado, la Defensa Civil de Gaza denunció la muerte de al menos 40 personas por bombardeos israelíes en distintos puntos del enclave, incluyendo Ciudad de Gaza, Jan Yunis y un campamento en el centro del territorio. Además, tres personas murieron por disparos del Ejército cuando esperaban recibir ayuda, una de ellas alcanzada al acercarse a un punto de distribución ubicado cerca de un puesto militar israelí.
Testigos aseguraron que miles de personas se habían congregado en ese lugar con la esperanza de conseguir alimentos. «El Ejército abrió fuego cuando la gente intentó acercarse», dijo Abou Samir Hamoudeh, de 42 años, a la agencia AFP.
En paralelo, un barco con activistas propalestinos fue interceptado por fuerzas israelíes cuando se aproximaba a la costa de Gaza. Se trata del «Handala», una embarcación fletada por el movimiento internacional Flotilla por la Libertad, que había partido desde Sicilia con cargamento de medicamentos, alimentos y material médico. Israel confirmó que su marina impidió el ingreso del barco y que todos los pasajeros están a salvo.
Desde el inicio de la guerra, el 7 de octubre de 2023, Israel mantiene un bloqueo casi total sobre Gaza. A principios de marzo, ese cerco se endureció aún más, agravando la crisis por la falta de alimentos, medicamentos y otros bienes esenciales. Recién a fines de mayo se autorizaron algunas flexibilizaciones.
Este viernes, Francia, Alemania y Reino Unido reclamaron a Israel que levante de inmediato las restricciones a la entrada de ayuda humanitaria. En tanto, el Ejército israelí dijo que establecerá corredores humanitarios para permitir el paso seguro de los convoyes de alimentos y medicinas organizados por la ONU.
La guerra fue desencadenada por el brutal ataque de Hamas contra territorio israelí, que dejó 1.219 muertos, en su mayoría civiles, según cifras oficiales. En represalia, Israel lanzó una ofensiva militar sobre Gaza que ya provocó al menos 59.733 muertes, también en su mayoría civiles, según el Ministerio de Salud de ese territorio, cuyas cifras son consideradas creíbles por la ONU.
Los médicos de Gaza atienden cada día chicos y adultos desnutridos. Los hospitales suman cada día muertos por esa causa o por enfermedades evitables y simples pero que no pueden ser tratadas por falta de medicamentos. El mundo alza la voz ante la creciente crisis humanitaria en el enclave palestino, luego de más de 20 meses de guerra. Pero la ayuda que los habitantes necesitan desesperadamente no llega a tiempo y los esfuerzos para hacerla entrar se enfrentan a numerosos obstáculos.
Las agencias de la ONU y las organizaciones humanitarias denuncian las restricciones impuestas por Israel, el problema acuciante de la seguridad en un territorio constantemente bombardeado, y la aplicación de un mecanismo auspiciado por Estados Unidos y el Estado hebreo que hace caso omiso del sistema humanitario tradicional.
Israel acusa a las organizaciones internacionales de haber fracasado, y asegura que el anterior sistema coordinado por la ONU permitía al movimiento ultraislámico Hamas saquear los camiones de ayuda.
Sobre el terreno, más de 100 organizaciones humanitarias alertaron esta semana del riesgo de hambre masiva en el enclave palestino. Tanto la ONU como las ONGs se niegan a cooperar con la Fundación Humanitaria de Gaza (GHF) ya que consideran que fue concebida para servir principalmente los objetivos militares israelíes.

The Trump administration’s battle with Democrat-controlled jurisdictions and their sanctuary polices suffered a blow on Friday when a federal judge in Chicago dismissed a case challenging their legality.
Judge Lindsay Jenkins of the Northern District of Illinois, a President Biden appointee, granted the defendants’ motion for dismissal, ruling that the city’s ordinances are lawful protections not subject to federal enforcement mandates.
The Trump Justice Department, in a February filing, accused the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago of unlawfully interfering with President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration as it aims to carry out mass deportations.

TRUMP DOJ SUES NEW YORK CITY OVER LONG-STANDING SANCTUARY IMMIGRATION POLICIES
Sanctuary cities or sanctuary policies limit co-operation between local officials and law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. The Trump administration has long railed against the measures, arguing they make such areas a haven for criminal illegal immigrants and contribute to increased crime.
The Justice Department alleges these laws violate the U.S. Constitution’s «Supremacy Clause» under the Tenth Amendment, which states that federal law preempts state and local laws that may conflict with it.
But Jenkins rejected the argument, ruling that states retain significant powers not explicitly granted to the federal government.
«Finding that these same Policy provisions constitute discrimination or impermissible regulation would provide an end-run around the Tenth Amendment,» the judge wrote. «It would allow the federal government to commandeer States under the guise of intergovernmental immunity — the exact type of direct regulation of states barred by the Tenth Amendment.»

MAYOR JOHNSON WARNS TRUMP AGAINST DEPLOYING FEDERAL TROOPS FOR IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN IN CHICAGO
The Chicago City Council passed an ordinance in 2012 that stops city agencies and employees from getting involved in civil immigration enforcement or helping federal authorities with such efforts. The Illinois legislature passed a similar state law, known as the TRUST Act, in 2017.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he was pleased with the decision and that the city is safer when police focus on the needs of Chicagoans.
«This ruling affirms what we have long known: that Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance is lawful and supports public safety. The City cannot be compelled to cooperate with the Trump Administration’s reckless and inhumane immigration agenda,» he said in a statement.

The Trump administration has sued several jurisdictions over their sanctuary policies, including a filing this week against New York City. The administration has also sued several New Jersey cities, as well as Los Angeles.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said the federal government was left with no choice but to protect New Yorkers by filing the suit.
«If New York’s leaders won’t step up to protect their citizens, we will,» she wrote on X.
