Trump Unveils Photo Of 'Newly Revamped' West Wing Entrance Makeover—And Critics Have Some Thoughts
Jul 10, 2026
President Donald Trump was criticized after sharing a picture of the latest update to the entrance of the White House West Wing that made the historic landmark look more like a signature Trump hotel.
The Oval Office has been significantly revamped since Trump took office in January 2025—it features, among other things, a fireplace adorned with gold cherubs and medallions, surrounded by portraits of American statesmen in ornate gold frames and shelves filled with gilded figurines, urns, and freshly installed Rococo mirrors.
Last year, Washington Post columnist Philip Kennicot noted that the Oval Office gilding "is especially out of character with the architecture, history and spirit of the building, which is a refined mix of simplicity and grandeur, a democratic space with a few imperial touches."
Kennicot wrote that "these changes represent the whim of the president, who seems immune to the idea that the White House is the sum of its history, a possession held in trust and a symbol not just of power but of domesticity." Trump, he observed, "is certainly resistant to the idea that major changes to the building would be improved by a more transparent, collaborative and thoughtful process."
Trump shared a photo on Truth Social of the “newly revamped” West Wing's gilded signage that looks more like a hotel entrance, captioning it:
"The newly revamped West Wing of the White House, including signage and renovated walls, maple trees, and plantings!"
You can see it below.

People were not impressed by the tacky display.
Trump has a way of turning everything into a tacky money-making opportunity—he even admitted several months ago that the skyscraper in which his presidential library will be housed will also serve as a hotel.
A hotel and a presidential library in one spot is an unusual arrangement given the library is a nonprofit foundation. Nevertheless, Trump said "it’s most likely gonna be a hotel with a beautiful building underneath.”
The New York Times reported that the agreement transferring the land from a community college to the state of Florida, and ultimately to the library foundation, only requires a library or museum to occupy certain portions of the site. That arrangement could allow a for-profit business to operate on other parts of the property.

Nicolle Wallace Offers Hilariously Brutal Suggestion For 'Addled' Trump Amid 'Bizarre' NATO Press Conferences
Jul 09, 2026
MAGA Republican President Donald Trump has been participating in the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, since Tuesday afternoon, but the visit has been anything but successful for the embattled POTUS.
Trump's appearances before the international press on hand for the summit have been rife with gaffes that have the domestic and international communities both amused and concerned over the 80-year-old's continued cognitive decline.
MS NOW anchor Nicolle Wallace reported on his performance saying:
"In a series of bizarre press conferences, Donald Trump ran the gamut of sounding merely uninformed to downright addled and crazy."
Wallace then shared a reel of the POTUS's press flubs on Deadline White House, seen here:
In the "highlight" reel, Trump:
- claimed his ceasefire with Iran was over because he doesn't "want to deal with them anymore" because they're "scum"
- said "we had 111 missile shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan," probably meaning Iran
- disparaged Obama's nuclear deal with Iran, calling it "the Obama nuclear waste deal"

- declared an end to all trade with NATO ally Spain, saying "we don't want anything to do with Spain, cut off all trade with Spain please, including visits, okay we don't want anything to do..."
- boasted about being #1 on “TicTac” which is a candy, not a social media site
- confused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy—who was seated beside him—with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who invaded Ukraine in an act of war.
After the reel was finished, Wallace said:
"He’s not sitting next to President Putin, I don’t know what TicTac is, the Islamic Republic of Japan came out of his mouth."
She then suggested:
"[Secretary of State] Marco Rubio's going to have to start standing next to him and translating."
Wallace added:
"But unsurprisingly, Donald Trump's incomprehensible, unhinged, embarrassing, uninformed, 'me, me, me' display there, and his approach to geopolitics has had an effect. It appears to have finally exasperated and exhausted European leaders' patience."
People found Trump's performance on the international stage unacceptable.













According to the New York Times:
"Hundreds of journalists from around the world pushed, elbowed and yelled at one another to make it into a soaring auditorium here in Ankara for the chance to ask a question of a freewheeling American president who might say anything."
While it might be entertaining for the international audience to see an unhinged United States President repeatedly break from reality, it doesn’t bode well for anyone.

Rihanna Applauded For Powerful Response To Cancer Patient Who Apologized For Looking 'Terrible' Without Wig
Jul 09, 2026
Rihanna’s latest viral moment has nothing to do with music, fashion, or beauty launches. Instead, fans say the singer helped someone shine bright “like a diamond” after reassuring a cancer patient who apologized for not wearing a wig during an unexpected meeting.
The nine-time Grammy winner, 38, made a fan’s day during a recent trip to a supermarket, where she posed for a photo and offered words of encouragement after learning the woman was living with cancer and feeling self-conscious about her appearance. The interaction appeared in Jason Lee’s video series, Jason Lee Unlocked: Grocery Shopping with Rihanna, released on Monday, July 6.
A cancer patient shares why she feels hesitant about asking Rihanna for a photo:
“I look terrible. I live with cancer. Can I take a picture with you?”
Rihanna immediately agreed to take the photo and pushed back on the fan’s self-criticism, assuring her that she did not “look terrible.”
The pair then posed together, with Rihanna wrapping an arm around the fan for the picture. The moment became even more personal when they discovered they shared the same name—Robyn. Rihanna’s full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
She lit up after learning she shares a name with the fan:
“And your name’s Robyn, like mine.”
The fan thanked the singer and revealed she was a longtime supporter before pulling up a photo of herself wearing a wig to show Rihanna.
She explained:
“Actually, this is what I look like with my wig. You’re going to say, ‘You’re a true Robyn.’”
From angled bobs and faux hawks to vibrant colors and flowing curls, Rihanna has spent years setting beauty trends. But during this interaction, the singer's focus wasn't on the fan's hairstyle.
After hearing her put herself down, Rihanna offered a different perspective:
“You know what I live for? A good hairline, honey. This is what I like to see. Anytime you meet anybody, don’t do that s-. You’re fire just like that.”
Clearly touched by Rihanna’s words, the fan asked whether she could repeat them to others. Rihanna didn't hesitate, replying, “Hell yeah! Verbatim.”
The touching exchange quickly resonated with viewers, many of whom praised Rihanna for responding with warmth and encouragement rather than treating the interaction as a routine fan encounter.
You can watch the viral clip below:
@mothershipsg riri our queen 👑 Rihanna and Hollywood Unlocked CEO Jason Lee were filming a grocery shopping vlog at Bristol Farms in West Hollywood, according to a video Lee posted to Instagram on Jul. 6. During their visit, they stopped to interact with people around the store, which led to a heartwarming interaction with one fan. #mothershiplifestyle #rihanna #usa #jasonlee
Rihanna has long been celebrated for her influence beyond music, earning the CFDA Fashion Icon Award in 2014 and the British Fashion Council's Urban Luxe Award for her Fenty brand in 2019. More recently, she attended the 2025 CFDAs to support A$AP Rocky, who was honored as a Fashion Icon.
Judging by the reaction to this latest viral moment, fans believe her impact extends well beyond fashion.
Fans flooded the comments section with praise for the singer's uplifting message:












During their outing at Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills, Rihanna and Lee were seen picking up groceries and even FaceTiming Yung Miami to show support for her single Spend Dat.
You can watch the full shopping video with Lee below:
- YouTube Entertainment Tonight
Lee's video arrives about one week after Rihanna's partner, A$AP Rocky, shared a sweet family moment with fans during a stop on his Don't Be Dumb tour at Los Angeles' Kia Forum on Saturday, June 27.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky share three children together. While the rapper, 37, performed suspended above the crowd, Rihanna could be seen in the audience holding their 2-year-old son, Riot Rose. Wearing teal over-the-ear headphones for hearing protection, Riot looked up at the stage and waved toward his father as Rihanna captured the moment on her phone.
The singer is also giving supporters something else to look forward to. While the Navy continues its long wait for a follow-up to Anti, Rihanna has confirmed she is back in the studio recording new music. She previously described the project as “unexpected” and without a defined genre, while teasing that the new material is “so good.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones Pens Touching Tribute To Singer Bonnie Tyler After Death—And Fans Are Emotional
Jul 09, 2026
Bonnie Tyler, singer of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Holding Out for a Hero," died on July 8, 2026, just a month after her 78th birthday.
She was in a hospital in Portugal, and she died unexpectedly from the illness she was being treated for.
Tyler is survived by her husband of more than 50 years, Robert Sullivan, who is also the cousin of Wednesday and Chicago actress Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Zeta-Jones and Tyler had an incredible history, including spending time together leading up to Zeta-Jones' wedding to Ant-Man's Michael Douglas, for which she asked the Welsh singer to perform "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
In tribute to her friend and family member, Zeta-Jones wrote a touching tribute to Tyler, featuring a beautiful throwback photo of Tyler performing on stage, as well as a photo of the two of them together the night before Zeta-Jones' wedding.
Zeta-Jones wrote:
"My heart is broken with the news that our dearest Bonnie Tyler has passed away."
"Bonnie was married to my cousin and has been such a part of my life."
"We are photographed here together the night before my wedding. She sang and rocked it at my wedding."
"An extraordinary woman with vocals to match."
"A one-of-a-kind artist, who so easily could have been a comedian because she was one of the funniest people I ever met."
"Thank you, Bonnie, for the joy you brought so many. Sleep tight, beautiful lady."
"We shall forever ‘Keep A Welcome In The Hillsides’ of Wales for you."
"Sending my love to Robert and the family. God Bless."

Fans were heartbroken over the passing of Tyler.










"Total Eclipse of the Heart," which Zeta-Jones asked to have performed at her wedding, was one of Bonnie Tyler's biggest hits, first to hit the top of the charts in 1983.
In 2023, Tyler paid tribute to the song when her memoir Straight from the Heart, which played on the name, was released. The singer also received an MBE Award (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for her contributions to the music industry.
During her acceptance speech, she said she never tired of the song and was always happy to sing it, even with it being one of her most requested songs at every event, including astronomical eclipses.
May it be a comfort to everyone missing Tyler that listening to "Total Eclipse of the Heart" would be an amazing tribute to her.

Reporter Puts NATO Secretary General On The Spot With Brutal 'Self-Respect' Question About Trump
Jul 09, 2026
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte found himself on the spot after Danish reporter Rasmus Svaneborg questioned whether sitting silently beside President Donald Trump as he discusses "conquering" Greenland and criticizing allies has impacted his "self-respect."
Rutte, a former Dutch prime minister, has been forced to manage Trump's repeated criticism of NATO while contending with his public insistence that the United States should acquire Greenland from Denmark.
At the same time, Rutte has sought to preserve alliance unity and maintain U.S. commitment to NATO. Trump's continued remarks about taking control of Greenland have also fueled sharp declines in his popularity in Denmark and drawn concern across Europe, where leaders view the rhetoric as unsettling for regional security.
The world is now nervously watching Trump since he voiced his desire for territorial expansion, calling "the ownership and control of Greenland" an "absolute necessity." Trump, speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, this week, described NATO's resistance to the U.S. push to control Greenland as "a big problem for us."
Svaneborg was blunt when he introduced himself and asked Rutte about his willingness to praise Trump in public settings even as Trump continues to attack the alliance:
“Rasmus Svaneborg from the Danish news agency Ritzau. Mark, you sit next to Donald Trump in moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain, starting trade wars—things that it doesn’t seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any effect on your self-respect when you sit like that and say nothing?”
Rutte defended himself, saying he gives praise "when praise is due" and arguing that Trump's behavior actually "makes Europe stronger":
“You know, what I always do is acknowledge when praise is due, and I think we should praise Donald Trump for the fact that NATO is so much stronger."
"Of course, it has to do with the Russian threat, it has to do with the war in Ukraine, but it very much also has to do with President Trump delivering now what, since Eisenhower, the United States tried to achieve: equalizing spending between the US and Europe. And it makes Europe stronger."
"It makes Europe more relevant for the United States as a partner. So that is the transformative character of this summit—what happened in The Hague, the implementation since The Hague—this summit as a point in time where we take stock, and I think that is extremely important."
"And when it comes to Greenland, I already explained: we had a meeting in Davos, and I said, 'I agree with you when it comes to Russia, when it comes to China gaining access to the High North, but let’s do this together. We have NATO for this—let’s work together on this.' This is exactly what we are doing."
Rutte then moved on, saying "we have very little time."
People were not impressed with Rutte's response, which did not outright answer Svaneborg's question about his "self-respect."
Rutte's remarks came as Trump renewed not only his demand that the U.S. take control of Greenland but also threatened to sever trade ties with Spain, leaving NATO officials once again trying to ease tensions.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez later downplayed the dispute, saying relations with the U.S. remained "very positive" and describing an informal conversation with Trump as cordial. Spanish government officials likewise stressed they had no intention of altering what they called an "excellent" bilateral relationship.
Trump's frustration with Sánchez, however, has persisted. He has criticized Spain for refusing to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP and has reportedly remained unhappy over Madrid's decision not to allow the U.S. to use the Morón and Rota military bases for operations related to the war with Iran.
Despite Trump's warnings, no changes to trade policy followed. Spanish officials noted that the United States actually ran a trade surplus with Spain, with bilateral trade totaling about $75 billion in 2025 and the U.S. exporting roughly $3 billion more to Spain than it imported.
