President Donald Trump is touting economic markers as he continues to defend his tariff policy in a new social media post. Trump touted gas prices, which he incorrectly claims have been the "lowest in years," as well as jobs data, saying there is "strong employment."

Hiring slowed but remained robust in April following Trump's tariff rollout. The U.S. added 177,000 jobs in April.

"Just like I said, and we're only in a TRANSITION STAGE, just getting started!!! Consumers have been waiting for years to see pricing come down," Trump wrote in a social media post on his platform after the latest jobs data was released.

President Donald Trump said in a social media post that he is renaming Veterans Day, which is celebrated on Nov. 11, as "Victory Day for World War I."

May 8, he said, will now be marked as "Victory Day for World War II."

"We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything — That's because we don't have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!," Trump wrote.

He added that many allies celebrate the end of those wars on the respective dates. It is unclear what mechanism Trump will use to rename the holidays, as it has not been released that he has signed any action about the dates.

Establishing a federal holiday or a patriotic or national observance requires the passage of a law, according to the Congressional Research Service. Lawmakers created "Armistice Day" in 1938 to commemorate World War I. Then, in 1954 after World War II and the Korean War, they renamed it "Veterans Day" at the urging of veterans groups.

On his way to Florida aboard Air Force One on Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order instructing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to “cease direct funding to NPR and PBS.”

According to a fact sheet from the White House, the order blocks federal funding to NPR and the Public Broadcasting Service to the maximum extent allowed by law. It also prevents indirect funding to PBS and NPR by prohibiting local public radio and television stations, and any other recipients of CPB funds, from using taxpayer dollars to support the organizations.

The order mandates that the CPB revise its 2025 General Provisions to explicitly prohibit direct or indirect funding to NPR and PBS. It directs all federal agencies to terminate any direct or indirect funding to NPR and PBS and to review existing grants and contracts for compliance. Additionally, it instructs the Federal Communications Commission and relevant agencies to investigate whether NPR and PBS have engaged in unlawful discrimination.

In the fact sheet, the White House claims the two news organizations “have fueled partisanship and left-wing propaganda with taxpayer dollars.”

NPR and PBS are primarily funded through a combination of public and private sources. The CPB, a federal agency, provides a portion of the funding, along with private donations from individuals, foundations and corporations.
