Donald Trump was trolling Donald Trump as Europe’s players celebrated a knee-knuckling 15-13 victory over the United States in New York.
“Do you know, Donald Trump?” the players who won the game were sung in response to Rory McIlroy receiving a well-known golf fan’s text message.
Trump, who appeared for a brief time at the Bethpage Black course on Saturday, effectively responded, saying, “Yes, I’m watching. “Congratulations”
Luke Donald, the captain for Europe, told BBC Sports editor Dan Roan, “I’m glad he liked and enjoyed it.”
Rory received a text from the president while we were having a conversation with the team. We read it out and envisioned a little banter [with him] afterward.
He appeared to be in good spirits when he took it.
McIlroy and Trump have played golf together, and he mentioned his ties to the United States last week. He referred to it as “the country of opportunity” and “the world’s best nation.”

Nathan is opening up about a particular regret from his time in the Big Brother house
Big Brother star Nathan King has opened up candidly about his whirlwind experience in the house, admitting that he has one major regret from his time in the house.
The 25 year old Tory opened up about regretting having a brief romance with fellow contestant Rosie, affectionately nicknamed “Baked Potato”. He says: “Honestly, I’d stay single if I could do it all again. Nobody needed to see that carry on. That was an absolute joke.”
He reflects that the heightened emotions in the house made the connection feel more intense than it really was. “We got on really well, had a great time together, but after the show, we realised we’re two very different people. That’s it — nothing more, nothing less.”

Nathan, who was known for his outspoken personality, also spoke about the “villain” edit he received during the series. As one of the few openly Tory contestants, he quickly became a lightning rod for viewers’ opinions. “At first, people hated me,” he admits.
“I think it’s just a reality TV thing — if you’re a Tory, you’re immediately seen as the villain.” But Nathan insists the portrayal didn’t tell the full story. “For some reason, Tories seem to do alright on these shows once viewers actually get to know you, instead of just the label. It’s funny how that works.”
Life outside the house has been a whirlwind. Nathan describes the first month after leaving as overwhelming, especially when adjusting to online scrutiny. “I got negative comments, even death threats, just for posting my opinions online. That was shocking because I’m not a hateful person; I just share my thoughts.”
Before entering Big Brother, Nathan had almost no social media presence — posting once a year on Instagram and having just 200 followers. Today, he posts daily on TikTok, sometimes two or three times a day, while also becoming actively involved in politics and causes he cares about. “Big Brother opened doors I never imagined. It’s been amazing,” he says.
The mental challenges of life in the house were also significant. Nathan explains how living in a confined space with the same people every day changes your mindset. “You get attached faster than you’d expect. I’m not someone who cries easily, but seeing someone leave can hit you emotionally.”
“You really do bond, even in just a few weeks.” And while the house was physically and emotionally intense, he notes that the show’s producers were meticulous in creating tension. “They know exactly how to push you to the edge without breaking you. It’s all part of the game for the viewers’ entertainment.”
Nathan also talks about his friendships inside the house, particularly his bond with Emma. “She just made me laugh. She didn’t care what anyone thought, said it like it was, and wanted to have fun. We made each other’s experiences so much better. For six weeks we just laughed constantly — we really took the piss out of everything and everyone.”
Despite the highs, Nathan has learned to navigate life after the cameras. “Big Brother doesn’t owe you a good edit. They’re making a TV show. You’ve got to make your own story.”
He’s embraced single life and independence. “I’m happy as I am. If someone comes along who adds to my life, great, but if not, I’m fine. I enjoy being able to do what I want, when I want.”
Looking back, Nathan says the entire journey — from the intense house experience to the spotlight outside — has been unforgettable. “It was an eye-opener. I’ve learned a lot about myself, about other people, and about handling scrutiny. But I wouldn’t change a thing. Not a thing.”
Authorities in India’s Bishnoi gang are able to freeze assets, block funding, and prosecute members under “anti-terrorism” laws after Canada officially declares the gang a “terrorist” organization.
On Monday, public safety minister Gary Anandasangaree announced the designation, claiming that the gang had spooked communities in the Indian diaspora.
The Bishnoi Gang has targeted specific communities with their intimidation, violence, and terror. Anandasangaree praised the list of criminal terrorists as giving us more powerful and effective tools to confront and stop their crimes.
Ottawa argued that “acts of violence and terrorism, especially those that target specific communities, create a climate of fear and intimidation,” were illegal in Canada.
According to Canadian officials, the gang, which is led by inmate Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, is a transnational criminal syndicate operating mostly from India but with presence in Canada.
Bishnoi, 32, is accused of leading a network of hundreds of members who are involved in drug trafficking, arms smuggling, extortion, and targeted killings in India despite having been imprisoned for ten years.
Prior to this, Canadian police claimed that Bishnoi associates had allegedly used Bishnoi supporters to murder and violently intimidate them in the Indian state of Punjab, where they are from.
India refuted the allegations, accusing Ottawa of providing no evidence and of ignoring repeated requests for suspects linked to Bishnoi to be extradited.
The “terrorist” listing, according to the Canadian government, increases law enforcement’s ability to obstruct recruitment, financing, and international travel related to the gang’s activities in addition to allowing property and funds to be seized.
Opposition leaders and provincial premiers in Alberta and British Columbia are demanding tougher sanctions against the gang, and Ottawa is under increasing pressure from the political establishment. More than 770, 000 Sikhs make up about 2% of the population in Canada.
“A strong message to India,” the statement read.
In response to greater diplomatic angst between Ottawa and New Delhi, the Bishnoi gang’s notoriety has grown. The issue was brought to light by Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s assassination in a Vancouver-area gurdwara in June 2023.
India refuted the claim that India had directed intelligence to “criminal organizations like the Lawrence Bishnoi gang” to silence opposition to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration abroad.
New Delhi asserts that Ottawa continues to guard individuals wanted for crimes in India and has ignored more than two dozen requests for extradition for Bishnoi members.
Donald Trump, the president of the United States, claims that Hollywood and the US have been “stolen” from him and that he wants to levy a 100 percent import tax on movies made outside of the country.
The US president claimed the tariff was meant to “solve this long-awaited problem” in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday.

Our film-making industry has been taken from the United States of America, as well as from other nations, similar to stealing baby candy, he wrote.
He continued, “California has been particularly hit,” making reference to California governor Gavin Newsom, a frequent foe of Trump’s.
Since movies and TV shows can be transmitted digitally without using ports, it was unclear how these tariffs would operate.
For US movies that rely on foreign locations to tell a story, like those in the James Bond franchise, it wasn’t clear what this would mean.
Many movies are international co-productions, according to analysts. Additionally, since they are not imported in a conventional way, the government would have to decide how to value them and when they even meet the importation criteria.
Trump threatened the Department of Commerce in a similar way in May by directing it to immediately impose a 100 percent tariff on movies “produced in foreign countries.”
He argued at the time that other nations were luring filmmakers and studios away with lucrative incentives, making it known as a threat to national security that the US film industry was “DYING a very quick death.”
The Reuters news agency contacted the White House for comment on how the tariffs would be put in place, but the White House did not respond right away.
This latest action raises more questions than answers, according to PP Foresight analyst Paolo Pescatore, who said there is too much uncertainty.
Costs are likely to rise as things stand, he said, and consumers will inevitably be affected by this.
On the same social media platform, the president also promised “substantial” tariffs on any nation that imports goods outside the US on Monday.
