[snip] ONE-LINERS: Active Green Beret Matthew Livelsberger, 37, allegedly detonated the Tesla Cybertruck while almost simultaneously shooting himself in the head. His body was badly burned in the explosion and fire. The explosion occurred several hours after a terror attack in New Orleans committed by an ISIS-inspired man who once served in the army. Livelsberger and the New Orleans terror suspect both spent time at Fort Bragg, and both used the same car rental app to secure the vehicles they used. Though Livelsberger's body was burned beyond recognition, (he was identified by his tattoos), his cell phone and ID were...

The wife of the Army soldier who blew up a Tesla Cybertruck outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday broke up with him six days before he killed himself inside the vehicle, according to law enforcement sources. Matthew Livelsberger, 37, left his Colorado Springs home the day after Christmas following an argument with his wife over apparent infidelity, two sources familiar with the investigation told The Post. His wife — who had a baby daughter with Livelsberger — reportedly told him that she knew he had been cheating, the sources said. After leaving Colorado, Livelsberger rented a Cybertruck...

The U.S. rang in the new year to a tragic act of terrorism that killed at least 15 people and injured more than 30 others in New Orleans. In Las Vegas, investigators are still trying to determine if the man who killed himself by intentionally setting off explosives in a Cybertruck parked outside Trump Hotel was also an act of terrorism, and whether the two events are related in any way. One thing is certain, however, the Cybertruck driver, who has now been identified, chose the wrong vehicle. As Tesla founder Elon Musk shared on X, though seven were injured...

The Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion on January 1, 2025, outside President-elect Trump’s hotel has sparked a fervent investigation into the motives of the deceased driver, identified as 37-year-old former army veteran Matthew Livelsberger. Seven individuals were injured in the blast, which occurred in the valet area of the Trump Hotel. Authorities are exploring the possibility of political motivation and are also examining any potential links to a separate incident in New Orleans on the same day, where a truck plowed into a crowd, resulting in 15 fatalities. The New Orleans incident is under investigation as a terrorist attack, with authorities...

The man responsible for the Cybertruck explosion outside Trump International Hotel served at the same military base as the New Orleans terrorist, according to a new report.

We have now confirmed that the explosion was caused by very large fireworks and/or a bomb carried in the bed of the rented Cybertruck and is unrelated to the vehicle itself. All vehicle telemetry was positive at the time of the explosion.

President-elect Donald Trump is weighing a bid to save the failing Waldorf-Astoria hotel in Washington, DC – and rebrand it once more as a Trump International Hotel, The Post has learned. Three sources familiar with the situation said that the incoming commander-in-chief’s company, the Trump Organization, is weighing options that include a licensing deal or even possibly buying back the lease on the government-owned, 125-year-old Old Post Office building. “Our family has saved the hotel once. If asked, we would save it again,” Eric Trump told The Post in an exclusive interview. The luxury lodge at 1100 Pennsylvania Ave. –...

VIDEOTrump Derangement Syndrome is so powerful that it can completely warp its victims into perceiving something that is the exact opposite of reality. Such an example came from a recent Washingtonian magazine article in which its liberal author thought she had a "gotchya" story exposing abuse by President Donald Trump and the management of his Washington, D.C. hotel, when in reality it exposed extreme, bordering on criminal, abuse by those who hate Trump.

Trump Derangement Syndrome can have such a powerful effect on people that it can cause them to inadvertently praise their targets while simultaneously slamming their TDS allies without them even being aware of it. This can produce quite a comical effect as was the case of the Friday article in Washingtonian magazine in which Jessica Sidman attempts to slam President Donald Trump and his friends but, due to the TDS boomerang effect, does just the opposite. You can see Sidman's intended target in the title of the article, "Trump Hotel Employees Reveal What It Was Really Like Catering to the...

The Supreme Court on Monday threw out two lawsuits accusing Donald Trump of violating the emoluments clause and profiting off of his presidency by maintaining ownership of his business empire while president. The highest U.S. court formally dismissed the lawsuits just five days after Trump left office, deeming them moot since the business mogul and television personality is no longer seated in the Oval Office. One of the entities most often brought into question was Trump's hotel near the White House... One of the suits was filed by the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland and the other...

Former President Trump has reportedly offered to let the National Guardsmen still stationed at the Capitol stay at his Trump Hotel in Washington D.C. “Trump has given permission for the troops to stay at Trump Hotel DC if any of them need,” an advisor told the One America News Network. As American Greatness previously reported, “some 5,000 Guardsmen were moved to the parking garage after being told that they were no longer allowed to rest in certain designated rest areas of the Capitol complex, including the visitors’ center and the cafeteria.” The soldiers were forced to bunk in an unheated...

As reported earlier by Cristina Laila military source in DC told TPUSA Chief Creative Officer Benny Johnson that for the last week his battalion had been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria in preparation for Biden’s sham inauguration. One day after Biden’s inauguration, 5,000 soldiers were moved to a cold parking garage. There is one power outlet and one bathroom for 5,000 soldiers. ...... Snip......

Georgetown University professor and former NPR editor Kitty Eisele lamented on Sunday that protesters in Washington, D.C., had not attacked the Trump International Hotel. "Shame they aren't noticing the Trump Hotel which costs more and has a more problematic clientele," she responded to a tweet noting the vandalism of the Hay-Adams, a luxury hotel near the White House. The Trump Hotel, also located near the White House, is a popular hangout spot for Trump administration members and allies. Formerly the Old Post Office and Clock Tower, Donald Trump developed the property into a hotel and opened it in 2016. Eisele,...

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies, according to several current and former U.S. intelligence officials and others familiar with the proposals. The sources say the plans have been pitched to the White House as a means of countering “deep state” enemies in the intelligence community seeking to undermine Donald...

Last year, Eric Trump was asked about Secret Service protection at Trump Organization properties. “If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free,” he said. “So everywhere that he goes, if he stays at one of his places, the government actually spends, meaning it saves a fortune because if they were to go to a hotel across the street, they’d be charging them $500 a night, whereas, you know we charge them, like $50.” You will be stunned to learn this is not remotely true. Instead, as the indefatigable David Fahrenthold and three colleagues at The Washington Post...
