Donald Trump BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Donald Trump has been enthusiastically working the national and international stage over the past several days with a flurry of public appearances and plenty of headline-ready moments. His weekend in Palm Beach included an unapologetically combative gaggle with reporters, in which he claimed the price of groceries and Thanksgiving meals have dropped twenty-five percent compared to the previous administration, citing figures from Walmart and other retailers. He described affordability under his watch as “much much better,” highlighted his ongoing negotiations with lawmakers on healthcare affordability, and teased a new proposal to redirect hundreds of billions from insurance subsidies directly back to Americans to let them buy their own health insurance. He said he’s talking with Democrats about the concept and insisted his idea is garnering broad support.

Trump fended off questions about Venezuela, acknowledging U.S. authority to target Maduro’s assets but giving no sign he planned imminent action, and was cagey on potential discussions with Maduro. When pressed on the Epstein investigation and Representative Massie’s suggestion that recent moves may be a smokescreen for file releases, he brushed it off and attacked reporters as part of a fake news deflection campaign. His comments about Congress included a veiled jab at leaking classified information, and he touted border security improvements since his return to office while lambasting the Biden record. He also took a swipe at Marjorie Taylor Greene, making headlines by dismissing any threats to her safety and stating that “nobody cares about her.” Politico characterized this as a notable fissure in the MAGA coalition.

On Monday, November 17, Trump was the marquee speaker at the McDonald’s Impact Summit in Washington DC, addressing the fast-food giant’s role in supporting small businesses and job creation. Known for his fondness for McDonald’s, his appearance drew wide attention. The summit’s thematic focus was economic impact, and Trump’s remarks reinforced the narrative of a thriving economy under his policies. This comes after his much-publicized visit to a Pennsylvania McDonald’s during the 2024 campaign.

He has also met with the White House Task Force in preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with press noting the U.S. will co-host the major event alongside Canada and Mexico. On the foreign front, Trump participated in bilateral meetings with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on November 18 and 19, with coverage from Right Side Broadcasting and official White House sources. While details are closely held, weapon sales and regional security were reportedly on the agenda. Trump suggested there may be discussions about selling F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia but stopped short of confirming any deals.

Social media has been lighting up with clips from these events, particularly those where Trump spars with reporters and discusses his proposals on immigration, border security, and healthcare. The ongoing Georgia RICO case tied to the 2020 election made brief waves when Trump dismissed concerns, saying he thought the case was “over.” He denied any contemplation of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell and appeared largely unconcerned about the push to release Epstein files, instead maintaining focus on his perceived successes.
