The house where U.S. President Donald Trump spent the first years of his life has found a new owner. Following an extensive renovation, the historic residence in the New York City borough of Queens is now in the final stages of being sold.

The Tudor-style home was built in 1940 by Donald Trump’s father, real estate developer Fred Trump. The family settled in the prestigious neighborhood of Jamaica Estates, where they lived until 1950. It was in this house that the future president spent his first four years before the family moved to a larger home nearby.

The property’s current owner, real estate developer Tommy Lin, purchased it in March 2025 for $835,000. According to PropertyShark, the house was in extremely poor condition at the time: the roof was leaking, the yard had become overgrown, and a group of feral cats had taken up residence there. Despite its condition, Lin decided to restore the historic property.

«The only reason I took on this project is because it’s Trump’s childhood home», he previously told Mansion Global.

Lin spent eight months and approximately $500,000 renovating the nearly 3,100-square-foot home, which features five bedrooms. Every sign of damage was repaired, while the interiors were completely redesigned and transformed into a modern living space.

Once the renovation was complete, the home was first listed for sale in November last year with an asking price of $2.3 million. It was later removed from the market several times before being relisted at a lower price. Most recently, it was offered for just under $2 million.

«The home attracted significant interest because of its historical significance, distinctive character, prime Jamaica Estates location, and high-quality renovation», said real estate agent Joe Zhu.

According to Zhu, the buyer was particularly drawn to the rare opportunity to own a property connected to the early life of one of America’s most well-known political figures.

As the transaction has not yet been finalized, neither the buyer’s identity nor the final sale price has been disclosed.

The eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, 48-year-old Donald Trump Jr., has married for the second time. His chosen partner is 39-year-old model and influencer Bettina Anderson.

The ceremony was kept strictly under wraps. The couple officially registered their marriage on May 21 before heading to the Bahamas. There, on a private island, the newlyweds hosted an intimate celebration for their closest friends and family — far from reporters and public attention.

Around 40 guests attended the event, including several members of the Trump family: Ivanka Trump with Jared Kushner, Eric Trump with his wife Lara Trump, as well as Tiffany Trump and Michael Boulos.

However, the groom’s father, Donald Trump, and his wife Melania Trump, did not attend the ceremony. According to sources, the White House leader was unable to travel due to his work schedule, though he publicly congratulated the newlyweds on social media.

As reported by TMZ, the couple intentionally chose an extremely private format for the celebration. Given the constant media scrutiny surrounding the Trump family, any public event could easily have turned into a major media spectacle. That is why the couple decided to escape the cameras and celebrate on a secluded island.

Previously, Donald Trump Jr. was married to Vanessa Trump for 12 years. Together, they share five children.

Actor George Clooney has described US President Donald Trump’s threat toward Iran – that «a whole civilization will be wiped out tonight» – as a war crime. He made the statement during a meeting with around three thousand high school students in the Italian city of Cuneo. The event was organized by the Clooney Foundation for Justice.

According to Clooney, such rhetoric about the destruction of civilization is unacceptable and goes beyond the boundaries of political discourse. Even when holding conservative views, he emphasized, there must be «a line of decency that cannot be crossed».

In response, the White House communications director Steven Cheung sharply criticized the actor, claiming that «the only person committing war crimes is George Clooney – through his terrible films and acting».

Clooney later responded in a comment to Deadline, calling for serious public debate instead of personal insults. He noted that «families are losing loved ones, children are burning, and the global economy is on edge», stressing the need for «meaningful, high-level discussions».

He also clarified that the intent to physically destroy a nation constitutes a war crime under the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute.

«What is the administration’s argument, other than calling me a failed actor – which I happily accept after ‘Batman & Robin’?», his statement read.

The conflict between Clooney and Trump has been ongoing for years. Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Clooney drew media attention after publishing an opinion piece in The New York Times urging Joe Biden to withdraw from the race to give the Democratic Party a better chance against Trump.

In response, Trump called Clooney a «fake movie actor» who allegedly never made truly great films. Earlier, he also described him as a «second-rate movie star» following Clooney’s criticism of government policy on press freedom.

Despite their political differences, Clooney previously stated that he had maintained a normal relationship with Trump before his presidency. In an interview with Variety, he said:

«I knew him well. He used to call me often and even tried to help me get into a hospital to see a surgeon. We met in clubs and restaurants. He was something of an eccentric. At least he was. Then everything changed».

It has also previously been reported that such rhetoric about the possible destruction of civilian infrastructure in Iran has raised concerns among legal experts. They argue that such statements may undermine the presumption of lawful military orders and increase the risk of US service members being accused of war crimes under the Geneva Conventions. Legal scholars stress that orders potentially leading to mass civilian casualties conflict with international law and US military standards.

Following a week-long tour across Asian countries, U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted the traditional White House Halloween celebration.

However, the presidential couple chose not to wear costumes. Donald Trump appeared in his usual business attire complemented by a red cap, while Melania opted for an elegant beige coat.

The event brought together hundreds of children — from toddlers to teenagers. Among the guests were little Spider-Men, Captains America, ballerinas, princesses and leprechauns. Two boys arrived wearing caps and suits with the Trump name, imitating the president’s smile, while a girl beside them wore a white coat reminiscent of the First Lady’s signature style. Some parents also embraced the festive atmosphere by wearing “USA” caps similar to the president’s.

The celebration was attended by children of military personnel, administration officials and White House staff. For example, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came with her young son dressed as a pumpkin. Former Trump administration official Katie Miller chose a skeleton costume, while her husband, Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, remained in a classic suit.

During the event, Donald and Melania greeted guests and handed out chocolate packaged in boxes adorned with the presidential seal.

Due to the construction of a new ballroom — a project initiated by President Trump himself — parts of the White House grounds were temporarily closed off with decorative walls. Behind them, a parked bulldozer could still be seen.

U.S. President Donald Trump, accompanied by his wife Melania, began his state visit to the United Kingdom with a landing by helicopter on the lawn of Windsor Castle. They were first greeted by the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine.

The 43-year-old Princess of Wales chose a burgundy Emilia Wickstead dress paired with a matching Jane Taylor hat, while 55-year-old Melania Trump appeared before the royal family in a fitted black Dior jacket with a pencil skirt, completing her look with a violet hat.

Soon after, the American guests were received by King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Following the official welcoming ceremony, a military parade featuring aircraft, including F-35 fighter jets, took place. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer also joined the event.

During the meeting, the parties exchanged symbolic gifts. King Charles III presented President Trump with a leather-bound book marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and a flag that had flown above Buckingham Palace on the day of his second inauguration. For Melania Trump, the royal couple selected a silver bowl by Northern Irish artist Cara Murphy and a designer handbag by Anya Hindmarch.

In return, President Trump gifted the King a replica of Dwight Eisenhower’s sword — a symbol of U.S.-U.K. unity during the Second World War — and presented Queen Camilla with a Tiffany brooch in the shape of a flower, encrusted with diamonds and rubies. After the ceremony, Trump and King Charles took a carriage ride through the castle grounds, while Melania and Camilla followed in a separate carriage.

That evening, a grand banquet was held in honor of the American leader. Queen Camilla wore a deep blue Fiona Clare gown embroidered with gemstones, complemented by her Belgian Sapphire Tiara and Cartier jewels.

Melania Trump opted for a floor-length, off-the-shoulder gown in vibrant yellow by Carolina Herrera, cinched at the waist with a wide beige belt. She forwent a necklace but completed the look with striking green gemstone earrings.

The Princess of Wales captivated guests in a cream haute couture gown by Philippa Lepley, paired with her favorite «Cambridge Lover’s Knot» tiara — a historic jewel once owned by Princess Diana. Created by Garrard in 1913, the diadem is adorned with diamonds and 19 hanging pearls set in silver and gold.

The banquet was attended by leaders of major global companies, including Tim Cook (Apple), Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind), Sam Altman (OpenAI), and Pascal Soriot (AstraZeneca). Technology giants Microsoft, Nvidia, Google, and OpenAI have already pledged £31 billion ($42 billion) in U.K. projects dedicated to artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and civil nuclear energy.

According to the BBC, Trump has become the first U.S. president to make two state visits to the United Kingdom. His first was in 2019, when he was received by Queen Elizabeth II.

Following the controversy surrounding the American Eagle jeans campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his support for her, according to the Daily Mail.

During a press meeting in Pennsylvania, Trump was informed about the actress’s political affiliation. He learned that the «Euphoria» star had registered as a member of the Republican Party in Monroe County, Florida, back in June last year.

«Oh, now I like her ad. You’d be surprised how many Republicans are out there. I didn’t know that, of course, but I’m glad you told me. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is just fantastic,» Trump remarked.

Sweeney had recently come under fire for alleged Nazi propaganda due to her appearance in the American Eagle campaign. The controversy stemmed from the slogan of the collection, «Sydney Sweeney’s got great jeans,» which in English is a play on words: great jeans/great genes. Online users claim the ad alludes to eugenics, Nazism, and white supremacy.

U.S. President Donald Trump, in his social network Truth Social, called for Beyoncé to be criminally prosecuted over an alleged fake payment. He claims the singer supposedly received 11 million dollars for taking part in a campaign event for Kamala Harris in Houston in October 2024. However, there is no evidence confirming this amount.

Federal records show that Harris’s campaign transferred only 165,000 dollars to a production company associated with Beyoncé. According to the law, candidates are not allowed to pay celebrities for political endorsements, but they may reimburse expenses for participating in events.

In addition to Beyoncé, Trump believes others should also be held accountable — including Harris herself, as well as TV personalities Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton.

«They likely — and illegally — paid 11 million dollars to the singer Beyoncé for her support (she didn’t even sing a single note and left the stage to boos and an angry audience!), three million dollars for ‘expenses’ to Oprah, six hundred thousand dollars to the very low-rated TV host Al Sharpton (very foolish!), and others who did absolutely nothing! These ridiculous fees were wrongly recorded in the books and records. You are not allowed to pay for support. It is totally illegal,» Trump wrote.

The founder of SpaceX and Tesla, billionaire Elon Musk, has admitted he regrets his public feud with U.S. President Donald Trump, as well as some of the remarks he made about him. He shared this on his platform X (formerly Twitter).

«I regret some of my posts about President Trump last week. I went too far,» Musk acknowledged.

The dispute erupted after Musk sharply criticized the new economic initiative by the President’s administration, accusing its supporters of betraying the American people. He also claimed that Trump wouldn’t have won the election without his support and called for a possible impeachment of the President.

Later, Musk mentioned Trump’s potential involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case — the convicted sex offender. In response, Trump expressed his disappointment in Musk and called him «insane.»

The situation drew so much attention that even rapper Kanye West publicly urged both men to reconcile.

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated he may consider pardoning rapper Sean Combs, known as P. Diddy, who is currently under investigation for serious allegations, including sexual assault, human trafficking, and racketeering. This was reported by The Washington Post.

The publication notes that Trump has repeatedly used his presidential pardon power to benefit his allies, celebrities, and friends. Recently, he pardoned rapper NBA YoungBoy, convicted of illegal gun possession, and reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, found guilty of fraud and tax evasion.

On May 30, during a court hearing in Combs’ case in New York, Fox News journalist Peter Doocy asked Trump whether he might pardon the musician, with whom he once had friendly ties. Trump responded that he was open to considering it.

«I haven’t spoken to him in many years. He used to really like me. But I think when I went into politics, things changed between us. If I see that he’s being treated unfairly, I’ll consider a pardon — whether he likes me or not,» Trump said.

Trump’s remarks drew a reaction from well-known rapper 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson), who has long been at odds with P. Diddy. The artist stated that he would do everything possible to convince Trump not to pardon the controversial Sean Combs.

To recall, Sean Combs was arrested on September 16 following a months-long investigation into allegations of sexual assault and exploitation. He currently faces seven criminal charges. In the months that followed, several more lawsuits were filed in New York Supreme Court, one of which describes years of harassment by the musician.

Moreover, according to the investigation, Diddy organized parties with elements of orgies that allegedly involved celebrities such as Jay-Z, Ben Stiller, Ashton Kutcher, Paris Hilton, and Serena Williams. On October 1, another lawsuit was filed, including sexual assault allegations from 120 individuals.

Combs denies all allegations, but the court has twice denied him bail. He is currently being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His trial began on May 5.
