Today is Donald Trump's 74th birthday, but rather than celebrate, many Twitter users are instead taking today to make the point that ALL birthdays matter, to prove to him—and every All Lives Matter believer—just how stupid that saying is. The hashtag #AllBirthdaysMatter began trending on Sunday (June 14th) in response to the POTUS turning 74, in an effort to steer the attention away from his birthday festivities by focusing on every person's birthday, the same way the All Lives Matter crowd does to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Most of the tweets that include the hashtag are in some way condemning Trump for the abhorred (although, unsurprising) way he's handled the aftermath of George Floyd's murder and the resurgence of the BLM movement in the public consciousness. Others decided to shine the spotlight on Barack Obama instead, some even declaring June 14th to be Obama Day. Many users simply took the opportunity to amplify and honour the lives of the many Black people who have been killed at the hands of police.

Following President Trump declaring that the far-left anarchist movement Antifa would be treated as a terrorist organization and the socio-political upheaval stemming from the death of George Floyd, petitions calling for the KKK to be classified as a terrorist group have gone viral, racking up millions of signatures in just four days.

The Change.org petition calls for the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist organization, to officially be listed and recognized as a terrorist group by the government. One of many, another petition calling for the KKK to be classed as a terrorist group is at 178,000 signatures, and another one is approaching the million mark as well.  

“Ever since the inception of the Ku Klux Klan in December 24,1865 they have terrorized American citizens for the color of their skin and opposing views,” the petition explains. “This group has a long history of murder & intimidation of people based on color and religion. Black Americans have suffered the most under this terror group.”

The KKK is currently classified as a domestic extremist group in the U.S. since there is no definition for a domestic terrorist organization. The State Department clarified that in order for a group to be listed as a terrorist organization, it must be a foreign organization that engages in terrorist activity that threatens the security of the country or its citizens. By that definition, Trump also may not be able to classify Antifa as a terrorist group.

When asked about the petitions, a spokesperson for the State Department said they do not discuss any specific designations or internal deliberations.

The Trumps’ marriage has been under scrutiny since way before they became the President of the United States and the First Lady. The presidential campaign trail four years ago made the wealthy couple the target of critics, and while they have occupied the White House, many have called into question the authenticity of their romance. We may never know if Donald and Melania Trump are truly in love, but a new book by a Washington Post reporter has reportedly given insight into the life of First Lady.

The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump is set to hit shelves next week, but a few controversial notes from the book have hit the media circuit. Author Mary Jordan states that the book is comprised of information gathered in more than 100 interviews and gives the world a sneak peek into how Melania made a few power moves before agreeing to move into the White House.

In the book, Jordan writes that Melania had to take a breather after the sexual assault allegations against Trump surfaced. Jordan states that she spoke with three people close to Trump who confirmed that Melania took the opportunity to renegotiate her prenup, adding a clause that would secure their son Barron’s future so that he won’t be “shut out of the family business.” The concerned mother wanted to make sure Barron Trump was seen as an equal to his older siblings.

Melania’s spokesperson issued a statement denying the allegations made by Jordan. “Yet another book about Mrs. Trump with false information and sources. This book belongs in the fiction genre,” said Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump’s chief of staff. She suggested that Melania Trump delayed moving into the White House because she wanted to make sure that the transition wasn’t overwhelming for Barron who was only 10-years-old at the time.

Millions of people have watched the disturbing video that showed a 75-year-old protester being knocked down by Buffalo police, but there is still a debate regarding the circumstances surrounding the incident. The elderly man was at a protest and can be seen approaching a number of officers before he was knocked over. He landed on his back and immediately began bleeding from his ears. In the video, an officer is heard telling the others not to help him while bystanders yell for someone to aid the man.

Later, it was shared that as the man recovered and two officers had been suspended in connection with the incident, causing nearly five dozen of their fellow officers to walk off the job in solidarity. Today (June 9), President Donald Trump took to his favorite social media platform, Twitter, so share a few unconfirmed allegations about the identity of the 75-year-old victim. According to Trump, the elderly man may have some ties to ANTIFA that “appeared to scan police communications.” Trump also suggested that the man fell “harder than he was pushed,” alleging that he sustained his injuries on purpose.

After the bizarre tweet, Trump was met with criticism. Rapper and activist Wale even came forward with a simple response: “Girl… we seen the footage.” Even so, it’s clear that the President isn’t willing to acknowledge acts of police brutality in this specific incident. This response from Trump also calls into question why people are struggling to believe footage that has been captured by witnesses. Let us know if you agree with Trump’s conspiracy theory.

Despite Donald Trump's frustrations with Twitter, which recently led the President to openly lambast the platform for daring to fact-check him, he has continued to utilize it to voice his thoughts and whims whenever they surface. With the George Floyd protests continuing to transpire against the United States, the tension between the police and the people has intensified. It's gotten to the point where a video of a 75-year-old protestor Martin Gugino being violently shoved by Buffalo police officers can actually yield a divisive response.

You may recall the footage of the disturbing altercation, which left an elderly man bleeding on the ground. And while many reacted to the video with shock and outrage, several Buffalo officers remained supportive of their colleagues, going so far as to protest their suspension from the force. This morning, Donald Trump made sure to clarify where his loyalties lie, taking to Twitter to cast doubt on Gugino's character.

"Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur," writes Trump. "75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment. @OANN. I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?" Given that Trump previously declared ANTIFA to be a terrorist organization, he's essentially accusing Gugino of being a potential enemy of the state. A harsh label for a victim of police brutality, and further indication of where Donald Trump stands on the ongoing protests. 

Once again, President Donald Trump has found his star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame defaced. Throughout his entire tenure as President of the United States, the backlash against Trump has been heavy. Still, he takes it all in stride and continues to insist that he’s the greatest president to ever hold the coveted office. The businessman shifted his career from the boardroom to the Tinsel Town and has been a regular fixture in films, television shows, and even with his own reality series, and people have been using Trump’s star on Hollywood Walk of Fame as an outlet for their frustrations against America’s leader.

We’ve seen people build a tiny wall around the star during the height of Trump’s criticisms over his plans to create a border wall between the United States and Mexico. We also watched as the star was repaired multiple times following a person smashing it to bits with a hammer and another with a pickax. There have been instances where Trump’s name was crossed out and images of genitalia drawn over or near his moniker. On Monday (June 8), it was reported that Trump’s Walk of Fame star was once again vandalized—and this time it was painted black.

Alongside the blackened Walk of Fame star were the letters “BLM” for Black Lives Matter, as well as the word “b*tch.” To top things off, someone left a small bag of dog poop in the middle of the star. We’re sure that Hollywood will replace this one, once again, in no time Check it out below.

Nobody would have pegged Donald Trump as a fan of Issa Rae's HBO series Insecure. Not even Issa herself... However, the first and only liked tweet on the President's account is about how this week's show ended, which is causing confusion for a whole lot of people.

As the new episode aired, Trump liked a tweet that read: "This is how I wanted tonight's episode of Insecure to end...Damn Molly."

It shows a GIF of two characters in The Color Purple playing a clapping game.

As the protests against police brutality intensified in Washington D.C, Donald Trump responded by literally furthering the divide between the people and the government. In response to heightened security concerns (after Trump realized that retreating into a banker is hardly a flattering reaction) an entire chain-link fence had surrounded Lafayette Park outside the White House, having the inadvertent side-effect of giving protestors a new rallying point.

Before long, the fence was repurposed as a full-blown memorial, preserving the memories of the Black lives lost to police brutality and systemic racism. As of now, the fence is lined with signs dedicated to Black Lives Matter and the defunding of police departments, as well as paintings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the countless others. Given the intention behind the fence’s initial placement, images of what it has become feel all the more powerful, a reminder of the cause that’s being fought for.

You can check out footage of the fence below; new artwork continues to be added by the day, and many have praised the movement as a peaceful rebellion against the President and police alike. Don’t be surprised to see the impromptu memorial continue to expand, as the protests show little sign of slowing down. Given that the mayor of Washington recently strengthened the movement by renaming a nearby street “Black Lives Matter Plaza,” it’s clear that the people of Washington are no longer willing to sit idly by.

Roger Goodell shocked the football world last week after releasing a statement on behalf of the NFL. In the video, Goodell claims that he stands with the players and wants to protest against racism with them. He even noted that the league was wrong to denounce those kneeling for the National Anthem, four years ago. It was a huge 180 by a league that hasn't exactly been a beacon of progressivism over the last few years.

Simply put, Goodell is endorsing the act of kneeling now and the President doesn't seem too fond of this development. Donald Trump has steadily been against this form of protest and yesterday, Trump took to Twitter where he questioned the NFL's brand new stance.

President Donald Trump has angered millions of people throughout his presidency thanks to his divisive politics that have people on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum. His handling of anti-racism protesters has given people further reasons to dislike him and when you look at the polls, it is quite clear that people are looking for a change. Perhaps the best example of his disdain for protests can be found in his recent remarks about how kneeling during the National Anthem is disrespectful to the American flag.

NBA legend Bill Russell saw these comments and came out on Twitter with some shots at the President. Russell called the commander in chief a "coward" and even noted that he is very divisive. These remarks were followed up with a photo of Russell kneeling in his own home while wearing the Presidential medal of freedom.
