Over million people rally: Iran's 2nd largest city under protesters' control, regime forces leave: https://youtube.com/watch?v=eDpP53YMysU&pp=0gcJCTIBo7VqN5tD

Venezuela is releasing large numbers of political prisoners as a sign of "Seeking Peace." This is a very important and smart gesture. The U.S.A. and Venezuela are working well together, especially as it pertains to rebuilding, in a much bigger, better, and more modern form, their oil and gas infrastructure. Because of this cooperation, I have cancelled the previously expected second Wave of Attacks, which looks like it will not be needed, however, all ships will stay in place for safety and security purposes. At least 100 Billion Dollars will be invested by BIG OIL, all of whom I will be meeting with today at The White House. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

I look forward to having a meeting with Gustavo Petro, the President of Colombia, in the White House, during the first week of February. I am sure it will work out very well for Colombia, and the U.S.A., but, cocaine and other drugs must be STOPPED from coming into the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

The largest Oil Companies in the World are coming to the White House at 2:30 P.M. Everybody wants to be there. It's too bad that the Ballroom hasn't completed because, if it were, it would be PACKED. We apologize to those Oil Companies that we cannot take today, but Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, will see them over the next week. Everyone is in daily contact. Today's meeting will almost exclusively be a discussion on Venezuelan Oil, and our longterm relationship with Venezuela, its Security, and People. A very big factor in this involvement will be the reduction of Oil Prices for the American People. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly of all, will be the stoppage of Drugs and Criminals coming into the United States of America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Today, the United States of America, in coordination with the Interim Authorities of Venezuela, seized an oil tanker which departed Venezuela without our approval. This tanker is now on its way back to Venezuela, and the oil will be sold through the GREAT Energy Deal, which we have created for such sales. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Art Laffer and Stephen Moore have written an incredible Book, "The Trump Economic Miracle: And the Plan to Unleash Prosperity Again." In just under one year, thanks to our use of Tariffs, our Nation's National and Economic Security is stronger than ever before.

Art and Stephen understand the America First Policies required to save our Nation from ruin, and make it greater, richer, and stronger than ever before. Get your copy of this GREAT Book today. THE BEST IS YET TO COME! https://www.amazon.com/Trump-Economic-Miracle-Unleash-Prosperity/dp/B0DHWHBXSJ

"Our Country would be Venezuela on steroids if it weren't for President Donald J. Trump!""The strongest Economic Growth since 1990!" — Mark Penn

Many of my strongest supporters and friends in Wyoming have been calling and telling me how great "MAGA" Megan Degenfelder is, because she is considering launching a Campaign to be the next Governor of the Great State of Wyoming, a place I love and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024. From everything I know about her, she would be fantastic! A Sixth Generation Wyomingite, and Wyoming's very popular Superintendent of Public Instruction, Megan has dedicated her life to serving her Community. If she is your next Governor, Megan will work tirelessly to Champion Wyoming Values, Promote our Amazing Farmers and Ranchers, Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Support our Brave Military, Veterans, and Law Enforcement, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Should she decide to enter this Race, "MAGA" Megan Degenfelder has my Complete and Total Endorsement. RUN, MEGAN, RUN!

Please be informed that we will no longer let the American Public be "ripped off" by Credit Card Companies that are charging Interest Rates of 20 to 30%, and even more, which festered unimpeded during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration. AFFORDABILITY! Effective January 20, 2026, I, as President of the United States, am calling for a one year cap on Credit Card Interest Rates of 10%. Coincidentally, the January 20th date will coincide with the one year anniversary of the historic and very successful Trump Administration. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

Mortgage Rates are NOW 5.7%! Mortgage costs were HUGE under Biden (around 8%). That's why almost no young families could afford a home. With my focus on Housing Affordability, and after I authorized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to invest their cash, and BUY $200 Billion Dollars in Mortgage Bonds, Mortgage Rates moved down to 5.7%. This is GREAT news for American Families, and real cost relief. We are bringing Housing Costs DOWN, and putting Americans FIRST!
