'He actually said this?' Trump stuns with claim about his kids during CNBC interview

President Donald Trump stunned his critics on Thursday with a remark he made about his kids during an interview on CNBC. Trump was asked by CNBC's Joe Kernen about allegations that his children are using insider information to gain favorable business deals. The president recently disclosed that he earned more than $2 billion during his second term, alarming many political analysts and ethics experts. "I feel bad in a way for my kids because every time my kids do, if they invest in a stock or if they go and do a bill, anything they do, because the presidency is so powerful, so big, everything if they buy a cupcake company, well, the energy to make the cupcakes is sort of like, how’s my energy policy?" Trump told Kernen. "So therefore, you have ... almost anything they do, if they buy an energy-efficient truck, they have inside information. So it’s pretty tough in that sense. I tell my kids, 'Stay away from as much as you can stay away from.' But they also have a life.”Questions about the investments made by Trump's children, Don Jr. and Eric, have swirled following the release of Trump's financial disclosures. For instance, Trump's sons recently invested in a mining company in Kazakhstan that later won a nine-figure contract with the federal government. Trump's critics sounded off on social media after the CNBC interview was over. "He actually says this? Wow," Stephen Soldz, a psychologist and researcher in Boston, posted on Bluesky. "Pure corruption. I look forward to the congressional hearings," Zak Williams, a political consultant at Zenith Strategies, posted on Bluesky. "The most corrupt administration in American history and it’s not even close," Max Berger, co-founder of the Momentum Training Institute, posted on Bluesky. "Looking forward to all the Hunter Biden critics weighing in. Especially on Fox," David Corn, Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, posted on Bluesky.

Trump officials called out for MAGA-themed Social Security cards

On Wednesday, right-wing Fox News reported that the Trump administration is planning a special limited-edition Social Security card that will include the Freedom 250 logo. And a NOTUS reporter is calling out that use of the logo as wildly inappropriate.On X, Fox News reported, "EXCLUSIVE: Babies born during America's 250th birthday celebration will receive a special piece of history. The Social Security Administration is launching a limited-edition commemorative Social Security card featuring the Freedom 250 logo for children born in the U.S. between July 2 and Dec. 31, 2026. According to an announcement exclusively shared with FOX Business, the card functions just like a standard Social Security card, but will serve as a unique keepsake marking the nation's 250th anniversary."But NOTUS reporter Oriana González believes the Freedom 250 logo doesn't belong on government-issued Social Security cards.González, on Thursday, tweeted, "so babies born between July 2 and Dec. 31 of this year will receive a social security card with the logo of a private company."In a separate X post, González had a different criticism of Freedom 250.Linking to a July 1 article by fellow NOTUS journalist Anna Kramer, González wrote, "more from @NOTUSreports on how Freedom 250 is taking taxpayer money that it's not supposed to be receiving."Freedom 250 and America 250 are two different terms. While America 250 refers to the United States' 250th anniversary in general, Freedom 250 is more specific to President Donald Trump and his administration. Freedom 250 refers to the White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday, a public/private partnership Trump created after returning to the White House in January 2025. Trump, on January 29, 2025, was nine days into his second presidency when he signed an executive order that established the partnership. The White House Task Force on Celebrating America's 250th Birthday is separate from the United States Semiquincentennial Commission, which was established in 2016 under then-President Barack Obama.The term America 250 could be used in connection with anniversary celebrations promoted by Democratic or GOP mayors or governors; Freedom 250 has much more of a MAGA/Trumpian connotation.The United States' 250th anniversary is only a few days away. It was on July 4, 1776 that the American Declaration of Independence was signed in Philadelphia's Independence Hall (which was called the Pennsylvania State House at the time).
