Donald Trump BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
President Donald Trump has had an eventful few days leading up to and following Thanksgiving 2025. On November 25th, Trump and First Lady Melania participated in the traditional turkey pardoning ceremony at the White House, maintaining a longstanding presidential custom despite the tumultuous political climate.
The tone shifted dramatically on November 26th when Trump delivered serious remarks in West Palm Beach, Florida, responding to a shooting incident that occurred earlier that day. Two National Guard members serving in Washington DC were shot at close range in what Trump characterized as a monstrous, ambush-style attack near the White House. One member died from injuries. In his statement, Trump expressed righteous anger over the incident and announced he was directing the Department of War to mobilize an additional 500 troops to protect the capital city. He vowed to ensure swift justice for the perpetrator, who was identified as a 29-year-old Afghan national working with the CIA during the Afghanistan war.
On November 25th, Trump engaged with members of the press aboard Air Force One, addressing multiple policy issues. He discussed ongoing peace negotiations regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, indicating that envoy Steve Witkoff would be meeting with President Putin in Moscow the following week. Trump characterized the Ukraine situation as one of his more difficult diplomatic challenges despite claiming to have settled eight other conflicts. He also discussed healthcare policy, expressing his preference for a plan giving money directly to Americans rather than insurance companies, and commented on the current safety situation in Washington DC, claiming crime has dropped significantly under his administration.
Trump participated in a video call with U.S. service members from his Mar-a-Lago club on Thanksgiving Day, November 27th, thanking members of all five military branches for their service and sacrifice. He condemned the DC shooting as an act of terror.
Most notably, on Thanksgiving evening, Trump posted an extended rant on Truth Social vowing to permanently pause migration from poorer nations. He made inflammatory claims about foreign-born residents, stating most are on welfare or from failed nations. The White House called this message one of the most important ever released by the president. Trump also announced plans to pardon ex-Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, currently serving a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking convictions.
