Overview

• Speaking at the American Cornerstone Institute’s Founders Dinner at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, President Donald Trump called Joe Biden “a mean and stupid guy” and “a mean son of a b****.”
• Clips of the remarks circulated on Trump’s social platforms, with outlets noting the comments escalated a pattern of personal attacks seen at his 2024 rallies.
• Hindustan Times reported that a new proclamation imposes a $100,000 fee on H‑1B visa petitions, described by the administration as a one‑time payment for new filings only.
• The same report said the administration introduced a $1 million “gold card” visa as a pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy individuals.
• Reporters framed the Mount Vernon broadside as an effort to recast public perceptions of Biden, portraying him as vindictive and corrupt rather than sympathetic.
