Atlanta Black Star News: ‘Lock Him Up!’: Trump’s Lie Backfires After Video Surfaces of Promise He’s Now Calling ‘Manufactured Outrage’ — and Photos Instantly Call His Bluff
President Donald Trump’s latest attempt to rewrite history blew up on him this week. Now he’s facing mounting backlash and accusations of lying after new footage surfaced showing him promising one thing and reality revealing another.
A viral clip posted to X shows Trump boasting in July that construction of the 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom “won’t interfere with the current building.” But in a split-screen cut, demolition crews can be seen ripping through the East Wing — sending clouds of dust into the air and Trump’s credibility with it.
“Here’s a clip of Trump lying & promising he would not damage the WH for his f***ing ballroom followed with video of his construction crew demolishing the East Wing today. Could you imagine the outrage if Biden or Obama did this? I’m so pissed. That’s our White House!” one furious user posted, garnering thousands of views.

Miami Herald: Journalists Dispute DHS Claims of Portland Unrest
President Donald Trump and White House officials have been accused of exaggerating claims regarding alleged unrest in Portland, contrasting with local journalists’ reports. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has faced significant local pushback for what officials have deemed as misleading narratives. Local journalists have documented mostly routine daytime activity, while the Trump administration has reported ongoing unrest at night.
Trump said, “It’s like the movies you see for the kids, I guess not only the kids, adults also, where you have these bombed-out cities and these bombed-out people.”
Trump added, “Unless they’re playing false tapes, this looks like World War II.”
…
Journalists have published timestamped images challenging DHS portrayals, primarily reporting on daytime activity. Oregon Public Broadcasting CEO Rachel Smolkin said, “Our OPB team is reporting the facts on the ground as they unfold with as much context as we can offer.”

Newsweek: ICE detains dad after green card was revoked due to teenage crime—Lawyer
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained a Texas father whose green card was revoked due to charges from when he was a teenager, his lawyers and wife told Newsweek.
…
Roman Surovtsev, now 41 years old, immigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union when he was 4 years old. When he was a teenager, his green card was revoked after he pleaded guilty to charges including carjacking and burglary, NPR reported.
But he was not deported after his prison sentence. Surovtsev is technically stateless, as neither Russia nor Ukraine, the two countries to which the U.S. government initially sought to deport him, has been able to prove him as a citizen, his lawyers Eric Lee and Christopher Godshall-Bennett told Newsweek.
“The Trump administration is trying to send him to a country where he will be drafted into the army and sent to front, where there is a very, very high likelihood of death,” Lee said. “This is somebody that has lived in the United States since he was a child. Yes, he’s made mistakes. He’s paid the price through the criminal process, but he has two young U.S. citizen daughters, a U.S. citizen wife He’s got a job and reformed himself. There’s absolutely no reason why he’s being detained.”

He’s not deportable — neither Russia nor Ukraine will accept him as their citizen — and he’s kept his nose clean for over 20 years. He also has 3 family members (wife, 2 daughters) who are U.S. citizens.
Sometimes people deserve a second chance, and he’s done well. Let him stay!
