Photographers have captured the action outside of the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee this week as the Republican National Convention takes over the city’s downtown area.
There are convention attendees playing cornhole and passersby sporting paraphernalia like “I’M VOTING FOR THE CONVICTED FELON” to show support for former President Donald Trump.
Even a small mobile circus rolled through downtown Tuesday, outfitted with demonstrators dressed as clowns and a bust of Trump.
People are also racking up on Trump’s likeness with merchandise such as Trump cereal, T-shirts, enlarged photos of Trump raising his fist after Saturday's assassination attempt, commemorative plates and buttons with Trump's mugshot above the words "NOT GUILTY."
Here’s a look at the scene outside of the Republican National Convention:

If the U.S. were to proceed with all the tariffs it's threatening next month, there's no way they'd all be compounded atop each other into one astronomical total, right? Wrong, says the Trump administration.The White House said Tuesday that should all its trade actions take effect in March, it would indeed pile tariff on top of tariff, to reach the larger number of 50 per cent on some items.At the moment, the U.S. is threatening two actions: a worldwide tariff of 25 per cent on steel and aluminu
Federal Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney blamed U.S. aggression toward Canada on social inequality in our neighbour to the south — and compared Donald Trump's musings about annexation to the villain from the Harry Potter novels.Speaking at the King's Head Pub in Winnipeg on Monday evening, Carney told a crowd of several hundred supporters Canada faces a crisis due to U.S. threats against the Canadian economy, but insisted Canada does not face an existential crisis.Some U.S. citizens, he
Republican strategist Scott Jennings said during a CNN appearance that the Trump administration should ignore federal court rulings that don’t fall in line with the president’s policy objectives, prompting host Abby Phillip to shoot back that his argument was “not connected to the facts.” “If a district court judge tries to usurp the authority of the chief executive of this country, he should absolutely defy it,” Jennings told a panel on Monday‘s CNN NewsNight. “There’s a difference between broa
Elon Musk was the center of attention in the Oval Office on Tuesday as he and Donald Trump offered a bizarre and rambling defense of their efforts to dismantle large chunks of the federal government through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The world’s richest man, who donned his “dark MAGA” cap for the occasion, towered over a seated Trump as he fielded questions from reporters. Musk appeared at ease, his young son perched on his shoulders, as he argued that he and his t
CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten has been left stunned by President Donald Trump’s high approval ratings in his second stint at the White House. The senior data reporter noticed that Trump’s approval numbers for his first three weeks were much higher than those during his first term, the New York Post reported. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Entire first term. Just 11 days, Donald Trump had a net positive approval rating” during his first term, Enten said during a segment of Monday’s CNN News Central with co-
The White House blocked an Associated Press reporter from an event in the Oval Office on Tuesday after demanding the news agency alter its style on the Gulf of Mexico, which President Trump has ordered renamed the Gulf of America.
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced Tuesday that she wants to use her new task force dedicated to uncovering “federal secrets” to question the investigators of President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination. Her only issue? They are all dead. The congresswoman said during a press conference Tuesday that she hopes to use the “Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets” to speak to physicians and members of the Warren Commission, which was formed to look into Kennedy’s assassina
John Oliver stopped by The Daily Show on Monday, this time with malevolent intentions. Oliver wasn’t there to offer any wisdom or support, as host Jon Stewart assumed; instead he gloated about the U.S. government’s total lack of checks and balances on the Trump administration. “America had its little fun, didn’t you, in experimenting with democracy?” said the British comedian, who was once a Daily Show correspondent himself. “You fought so hard to get away from us. Acting up, throwing all that t
In the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s order to declassify all remaining documents tied to President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the FBI has uncovered 2,400 records related to the murder that have been largely kept secret over the past few decades. “In 2020, the FBI opened the Central Records Complex and began a multi-year effort to first ship and then electronically inventory and store closed case files from FBI field offices across the country,” a statement from the FBI to the Daily
VICTORIA — British Columbia Premier David Eby said Monday he is confident that aluminum produced in the province will remain in demand globally, despite tariffs from Washington that Eby described as the Americans "taxing themselves."
An explosive report by the Washington Post alleges that the Trump’s administration is weeding out candidates for top intelligence and law enforcement jobs by asking if the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was an “inside job” and if the 2020 election was “stolen.” Those looking to apply to top national security positions with the administration are allegedly facing additional questions that test their loyalty to Trump. These questions seem quite tailored to determine candidates’ inclinations on the president’
