Wall Street Journal: “The Trump family notched as much as $5 billion in paper wealth on Monday after its flagship crypto venture opened trading of a new digital currency. The launch is akin to an initial public offering, in which the cryptocurrency, called WLFI, can now be bought and sold on the open market.”

“The Trump family, including President Trump himself, holds just under a quarter of all WLFI tokens in existence.”

“WLFI is likely now the Trumps’ most valuable asset, exceeding their decades-old property portfolio.”

“President Trump faces a challenging September at home and abroad,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“An end-of-month deadline will force the president to negotiate with Congress to avoid a government shutdown. While Republicans control the House and Senate, they will need Democratic votes to do so. Trump’s recent clawback of billions in foreign aid without congressional approval has brewed distrust between lawmakers and the administration.”

“Trump gave the leaders of Russia and Ukraine an early September deadline to move forward with a peace process or face possible U.S. retaliation. Progress has stalled since the president’s closely watched meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last month, dimming optimism that an end to the war is in sight.”

“Beyond dealmaking, Trump faces uncertainty about the legality of his tariffs, the main plank of his economic agenda and a key campaign promise.”

President Trump is making an unspecified Oval Office announcement tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. ET.

President Trump told the Daily Caller he was putting up a new piece of art in the White House — a “portrait” of former President Joe Biden’s autopen.

President Trump announced Monday that Rudy Giuliani, who served as his personal lawyer during high-profile legal battles over the 2020 election results, would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor, The Hill reports.
