Fox News: 'Ragin' Cajun' James Carville insists Trump 'collapse' is underway, tells Democrats to 'sit back'
Democratic strategist James Carville advises party leaders to adopt a passive approach and "play possum" as he believes a collapse of Trump’s support is underway. He suggests Democrats should refrain from aggressive actions and let the situation unfold, citing declining poll numbers for Trump.

Breitbart: Israeli Envoy Backs Trump Gaza Plan, Slams ‘Celebration’ of Dead Hostages
Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan condemned Gazans for their involvement in the October 7 attacks on Israelis, calling for the complete eradication of Hamas and the transformation of Gaza in line with President Trump's vision. He emphasized that many civilians celebrated the violence and demanded Gaza be denazified and demilitarized.
In a broader shift, Israeli officials are now advocating for a restructuring of Gaza, including the voluntary relocation of its residents to third countries, as part of a long-term strategy to ensure Israel's security and stability in the region. This marks a departure from previous policies that failed to curb terrorism.

Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: How China’s Predatory Mercantilism Created America’s Trade Deficit
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized the need for China to rebalance its economy towards consumption, highlighting the long-standing trade imbalance between the U.S. and China. The U.S. trade deficit is largely a result of China's mercantilist policies, which suppress domestic consumption and create overproduction, forcing the U.S. to absorb these imbalances.
President Trump's proposed tariffs on Chinese goods aim to correct these distortions and create a fairer marketplace for American manufacturers. The article argues that without strategic trade policies, the U.S. risks continued economic exploitation by China, which has structured its economy to benefit its elites at the expense of global trade norms.
