How and where is Donald Trump after the attack on him?
Former President Donald Trump, victim yesterday of a failed attack during a political rally in Butler (Pennsylvania), spent Sunday in detained at the Bedminister golf club, in New Jersey, of his property.
The accesses to the golf club in this wooded area of New Jersey have been closed this Sunday both north and south, and the different roads that lead to the facilities are protected by the security services, which only allow access to some vehicles, and are extreme security around the former president.
Journalists were forced to be located about 5 kilometers from the entrances, next to the Bedminster public library. Many of them have been stationed in the place for several hours with the only hope of seeing their entourage leave on the nearby road at some point in the day, although they could also leave by helicopter or even not leave until tomorrow.
Trump, who yesterday saw himself in apparent good shape only hours after the attack – he lowered the stairs of the plane on his own foot when he arrived at Newark airport -, has promised to be at the Republican Party convention tomorrow where his candidacy will be proclaimed and where he could appoint his vice president.
Taking advantage of the presence of journalists, a group of Trump fans defied the temperatures of this Sunday and mounted a small demonstration of support next to a road crossing, to which the neighbors of this rural place with little urbanization were joining.
There were numerous vehicles that passed by them and repeatedly honked the horn to support them, or that took their thumbs out the window to encourage them. Many of them carried American flags in the wind or others with the slogan “Make America Great Again”.
One of the protesters, Nancy, 65, in a dress xerographed with a montage of photos of the former president, assures that God has marked everyone’s destiny and yesterday was not Trump’s time; about the attacker, she said that “everyone who hates Trump knows that only killing him can prevent his victory.”
On board his Harley Davidson came Miguel Madero, a Puerto Rican who works in construction and who left because he believes that only Trump “can save this country from socialism,” an idea that according to him all his clients share with whom he talks about politics.
All the participants in this small demonstration blamed the press for what happened yesterday, because according to them the “mainstream” (dominant) media have long been sowing a rhetoric of hatred against Republicans in general and Donald Trump in particular that has led to this attempted assassination.

Trump floats Vance-Rubio potential Republican ticket for 2028 election
U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Monday that Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubiocould potentially form a Republican presidential ticket for the 2028 elections.
Speaking during a dinner with law enforcement officials as part of National Police Week, Trump publicly praised both officials and said they could make “an ideal team” for the next presidential race.
“Who likes JD Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio?” Trump asked attendees before adding that the pair “sound like a good combination.”
The president highlighted his vice president’s performance in office, stating that their current partnership has been highly effective. “JD is perfect, that has been a perfect formula,” Trump told reporters later.
He further suggested that a Vance-Rubio pairing could represent a strong presidential and vice-presidential ticket, although he stopped short of offering any formal endorsement.
“I think it sounds like a presidential candidate and a vice-presidential candidate,” he said, while clarifying that his remarks should not be interpreted as an official backing of any future campaign.
So far, neither Vance nor Rubio has publicly confirmed any intention to run in the 2028 presidential election.
Rubio previously sought the Republican nomination in 2016 but withdrew after losing the primary race to Trump. Later, in a December 2025 interview with Vanity Fair, he said he would be among the first to support Vance if he decided to run for the White House.
Vance, meanwhile, has recently dismissed speculation of any political rivalry with Rubio amid growing discussion about potential future GOP leadership.

Russia Accuses Ukraine of Violating Victory Day Truce
Russia accused Ukraine on Saturday of violating a Victory Day truce that was reportedly agreed with mediation from the United States, claiming that Ukrainian forces carried out attacks on Russian territory as well as on the annexed Crimean peninsula.
Despite the declared ceasefire, the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement that Ukrainian forces attacked Russian military positions using attack drones and artillery.
According to the ministry, Ukrainian forces made twelve attempts to advance toward Russian-held positions across several sectors of the front line.
It also alleged that Ukrainian strikes targeted civilian infrastructure in Crimea, several border regions, the Caucasus, and other areas including Moscow and Perm in the Ural region.
The Defense Ministry estimated around 8,900 violations of the ceasefire in total, including more than 7,000 drone attacks and over 1,000 strikes involving tanks, artillery, multiple rocket launch systems, and mortars since the truce came into effect at midnight.
Russia said its forces responded “symmetrically” to what it described as violations by Ukrainian troops.
Earlier, the Kremlin denied claims that Ukraine attempted to sabotage a military parade in Red Square marking the 81st anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
“No attempts were made. Everything went well,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told local media.

Trump Says U.S.-Iran Talks Progressing, Signals Possible Deal on Strait of Hormuz
U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Washington is holding “very good” talks with Iran and stated that there is a strong possibility of reaching an agreement to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
“We’ve had very good conversations over the last 44 hours, and it’s very possible that we’ll reach an agreement,” Trump said during an event held in the Oval Office at the White House.
The president’s remarks came just hours after he announced a temporary suspension of the military operation aimed at escorting vessels stranded in the Persian Gulf due to Iran’s blockade of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Trump explained that the pause in operations is intended to facilitate diplomatic negotiations between both sides and prevent further military escalation in the region.
“We’re in good shape, and right now things are going well. Now we have to achieve what we need to achieve. If we don’t, we’ll have to go much further,” the Republican president warned.
In a post published on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump reiterated that if Iran accepts Washington’s proposed conditions, military operations and the naval blockade affecting the Islamic republic would come to an end.
However, he also issued a new warning to the Iranian government, stating that the United States would respond with attacks “of greater intensity” if Tehran rejects the agreement promoted by the White House.
