One of Donald Trump’s most trusted advisors has taken a jab at Kevin Rudd, Australia’s ambassador to the United States, hinting that his time in Washington may be coming to an end. Dan Scavino Jr, who is one of the President-elect’s most senior campaign advisors, responded to Rudd’s congratulatory message on Trump’s election victory with an hourglass GIF on the social media platform X – suggesting that his days in the role might be numbered. The message from the incoming Trump administration came just weeks after Rudd quietly deleted tweets from the final stretch of the 2020 US election campaign, where he called Trump ‘the most destructive president in history’.

Kash Patel has emerged as a top contender to lead the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) under Donald Trump and now seems to have the backing of Elon Musk for the position. Trump and Patel have been in continued communication for years and have discussed a national security-related role in the president-elect’s second administration. A source familiar with the conversations says a position for Patel like CIA Director falls within ‘his lane,’ but had nothing more specific to preview.

Donald Trump is considering tapping his firebrand attorney Alina Habba to be his top spokesperson once he takes office in January, according to reports. DailyMail.com has learned that Habba, 40, is flying to Palm Beach in Florida on Tuesday evening and is expected to have a discussion with the President-elect this week about a potential role in his administration.

President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is nominating Fox News host and decorated Army veteran Pete Hegseth to serve as his defense secretary. The 44-year-old deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan and won two Bronze Stars, then unsuccessfully ran for Senate in Minnesota in 2012 before joining Fox News. ‘Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First,’ Trump said in a statement, as he spent much of Tuesday adding to his cabinet.

Looking at the Trump family assembled on stage in West Palm Beach last week, you might have thought they’d gathered for a cocktail party rather than a victory speech. Sequins, shoulder pads and stilettos dominated in a line-up of plastic – and identikit – perfection. Even Ivanka’s disco-esque blue crushed-velvet pantsuit, as ill-fitting as it was wrinkled, failed to add the pizzazz that might have lifted her above the group.

Well, well, well: the republic stands. And dumbstruck liberals can’t cope. Supporters wept outside Howard University as Kamala Harris conceded. Columbia, Harvard, and New York’s exclusive Fieldston School offered students days off to grieve — ‘hold space’, as they love to say, for what might have been. Georgetown University opened ‘self-care suites’ where students and faculty could color, play with Lego and have milk and cookies ‘in recognition of these stressful times’.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes had their homes burglarized last month in the Kansas City area. The break-in at Mahomes’s mansion in Belton, Missouri, was reported around midnight on October 6th. Kelce’s $6…
