Donald Trump has acknowledged a decline in his poll numbers, marking a significant shift for the self-proclaimed “King of Winning.” Amid rising living costs and the ongoing Epstein scandal, his approval rating has dropped to 38 percent, the lowest since his re-election.

Claiming that his poll numbers have increased among “smart people,” Trump’s response lacks a sense of irony.

The company has pulled the toy off the shelves along with other AI-enabled products pending a safety review.
Moving north, a Hamilton man in Canada took a city bus with passengers on board, effectively turning public transit into his own Uber service. Seizing the opportunity when the driver stepped out, the 36-year-old without a fixed address commandeered the bus and drove it along its route, even making scheduled stops to let passengers on and off. Despite the unauthorized joyride, the bus returned undamaged, with police acknowledging the situation as both amusing and serious.
