Detroit (AFP) - Donald Trump is so proud of a cognitive assessment he took while president that he boasted about it in a speech Saturday, while attacking what he claims is US President Joe Biden's lack of mental acuity. The only problem: he then immediately got confused on the name of the doctor who oversaw the test. Trump extolled his powers of mental recall in a speech to hard-right allies in Detroit, challenging Biden to take the same cognitive exam he says he underwent in 2018 with then White House physician Ronny Jackson. However, he immediately flubbed the name of the former official, wh...

Los Angeles (AFP) - US President Joe Biden brushed aside jet lag Saturday, flying straight from the G7 in Italy to Los Angeles to a star-studded fundraiser set to bring millions of dollars for his election fight against Donald Trump in November. Trump -- making an unprecedented bid to win back the White House while running as a convicted felon -- was also on the campaign trail, boasting in Detroit, Michigan that his own fundraising is "the highest in the history of politics." Michigan is a must-win state for Biden in November's electoral mathematics. Aiming to eat into Biden's key electoral su...

Detroit (AFP) - Donald Trump met with Black voters Saturday as he courted a community that largely supported his rival Joe Biden four years ago but has seen notable numbers of African Americans shift allegiance ahead of November's presidential rematch. But the Republican former president also attended another campaign event later in the day with a more right-leaning audience, a gathering of the controversial conservative group Turning Point Action. Trump used his first appearance, at the 180 Church in Detroit, the largest city in the critical battleground state of Michigan, to suggest he may ...

Washington (AFP) - President Joe Biden and Donald Trump will face off in a 90-minute debate with mutable microphones, broadcaster CNN said Saturday, as it laid ground rules for the first in-person clash between the pair ahead of November's election. The rules for the June 27 debate, which will have two hosts and no studio audience, were agreed by the Biden and Trump campaigns, according to CNN. "Both candidates agreed to appear at a uniform podium, and their podium positions will be determined by a coin flip," the channel said, adding that microphones "will be muted throughout the debate exce...

West Palm Beach (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump, whose attempted White House return is based in part on attacking President Joe Biden as old and feeble, turned 78 Friday -- just three years younger than his election rival -- with growing questions over his own health. Whoever wins the November election will set a new age record. At 81, Biden is already the oldest man to hold the office and would continue to be so, while if Trump wins, he would become the oldest ever at an inauguration. Trump, aided by the right-wing media ecosystem, has carefully worked to build an image of vigor, in atte...

Houston (AFP) - A US judge on Friday approved the liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' personal assets, setting the stage for the repayment of a fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion in damages he owes families whose loved ones were killed in a school shooting. But the bankruptcy judge in Houston spared Jones from liquidating the parent company of his far-right website InfoWars -- long notorious for peddling misinformation -- in a reprieve that will allow it to remain in business. The serial provocateur had been ordered to pay the damages for calling a 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook ...

Washington (AFP) - The US Supreme Court ruled on Friday that a ban introduced by ex-president Donald Trump's administration on bump stocks -- devices which allow semi-automatic rifles to fire like a machine gun -- is unconstitutional. The case stems from the worst mass shooting in US history, in October 2017, when a man fired on a crowd attending an outdoor music concert in Las Vegas, killing 58 people and wounding around 500. Most of his 22 guns were equipped with bump stocks, allowing them to fire as many as nine bullets a second. The court voted along ideological lines, 6-3 in favor of the ...
