“It’s quite absurd to sort of accuse him of siding with paedophiles. Yeah, I mean, what we’re seeing right now is that because websites like Reddit are having a very difficult time understanding what their duties are, they are blocking access to stop smoking forums… That’s part of growing up is sort of getting in, getting out there and seeing the debates. And so when we see an act so badly written that legitimate contact is being blocked, that’s a huge problem… I think Peter will come to regret having said that that’s a pretty extreme thing to say.”
Donald Trump on whether he plans to run for president again in 2028:
“No, probably not. I’d like to run, I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had. People love the tariffs, and they love the trade deals and they love the foreign countries aren’t ripping us off. I won every swing state, I won the popular vote by millions of votes… my poll numbers are better now, much better than during the election…”

‘The one who cuts taxes the most, the one who gives you the lowest energy prices, the one who keeps you out of wars… low taxes, keep us safe, keep us out of wars… And in your case a big immigration component. I won because we had a lousy president.”
