Trump says ‘world is going crazy’ as he attends Notre Dame reopening: Live

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky joined President-elect Donald Trump’s meeting with Emmanuel Macron in Paris, France on Saturday.

The world leaders are gathering in Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral.

President-elect Donald Trump said the US should “NOT GET INVOLVED” in Syria, where rebels are threatening President Bashar al-Assad’s government.

“In any event, Syria is a mess, but is not our friend, & THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday. “THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”

Pardons are usually issued to those who have been accused of a specific crime and those who have already been convicted.

But the Biden administration is looking at issuing pardons to people who haven’t been investigated or charged with anything.

Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron have met in France ahead of the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday.

“The world is going a little crazy right now,” the president-elect told reporters as he shook hands with Macron. “We’ll be talking about that.”

The event marks Trump’s return to the geopolitical stage six weeks before he returns to the White House.

Prince William and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are among the world leaders who will join President-elect Donald Trump at the re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral on Saturday.

More than 1,500 guests will be present at the service, which will be led by the Catholic archbishop of Paris, Laurent Ulrich.

Carolyn Fisher will never forget the moment her son told her he wanted to die.

It was November 3, two days before the presidential election. Fisher’s 16-year-old non-binary son, who uses he/they pronouns, was part of an online suicide pact with three other transgender and non-binary teens in Florida, Alabama and Tennessee. The friends who’d met on Discord had agreed to die by suicide if former president Donald Trump won the 2024 election.

But as the election approached, her son called a crisis hotline for help. He told the case manager on the other line about the plan, and the case manager helped them tell his parents.

Gathered around their kitchen table, Fisher asked her child what was going on.

Eric Garcia reports from Palm Beach, Florida:

On the Southern Boulevard bridge next to President-elect Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, there is a parked car festooned with Trump flags. Jestin Nevarez — who blasts out a rap version of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” titled “Trump Saved the USA” on repeat — is the owner.

“I come out here and show support,” he told The Independent. “And right now, Mar-a-Lago is a tourist attraction. So when people drive by, they see the flags, they hear the music, they stop in and they have a good time.”

People do indeed stop to take photos of Nevarez’s car and snap photos of the once and future president’s estate.

Palm Beach has changed in the years since Trump first became president.

Less than a week after President Joe Biden issued a sweeping pardon for his only surviving son — despite denying for months that he would do so — the White House appears to be leaving him room to maneuver on another, similar issue.

The question of whether Biden might grant unprecedented preemptive pardons to a range of public figures who might find themselves in the crosshairs of Donald Trump’s second administration remains unanswered.
