**Trump Media & Technology Group to Merge with Fusion Reactor Startup TAE Technologies in $6 Billion All-Stock Deal**

Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (commonly referred to as TMTG) today announced plans to merge with TAE Technologies Inc., a startup specializing in the development of fusion reactors. The all-stock transaction is valued at $6 billion, with ownership of the combined company set to be evenly split between the shareholders of both TAE and TMTG.

U.S. President Donald Trump indirectly holds a majority stake in TMTG. The company went public last March via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). TMTG operates the Truth Social social network and manages a $2.5 billion fund investing in digital assets such as Bitcoin.

Despite its assets, TMTG has faced financial challenges, reporting a net loss of $54.8 million last quarter on net sales of just $972,900. Similarly, Foothill Ranch, California-based TAE Technologies is also unprofitable, having lost $54.8 million in the third quarter, but it holds $166 million in cash reserves.

The planned merger is expected to provide TAE with access to TMTG’s substantial $3.1 billion balance sheet, significantly extending the fusion startup’s financial runway and supporting its ambitious development goals.

### About TAE Technologies and Its Fusion Reactor Technology

TAE Technologies is developing fusion reactors based on an advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration system. This approach involves powering the reactor with multiple particle accelerators. According to TAE, its accelerator-driven architecture and other innovations offer advantages over traditional fusion reactor designs.

Unlike standard nuclear reactors, which generate power through nuclear fission (splitting atomic nuclei), fusion energy is produced by fusing two light atomic nuclei into a heavier one. The resulting heavier nucleus has slightly less mass than its components, and this mass difference is converted into energy—the fundamental principle behind fusion power.

Currently, commercial fusion power generation remains a challenge due to significant technical limitations, primarily the difficulty of fusing atomic nuclei which naturally repel each other. Fusion reactors must replicate sun-like conditions within their reaction chambers to overcome this obstacle.

TAE’s reactor uses fuel composed of hydrogen and boron. The process involves converting the fuel into plasma—a cloud of charged particles—held in place by a powerful magnetic field. Unlike some fusion designs that rely exclusively on magnets for containment, TAE’s approach leverages the hydrogen-boron plasma itself to generate a magnetic field, reducing dependency on external magnets.

The system is further stabilized by an array of particle accelerators that inject energetic particles into the plasma to maintain the magnetic containment field. These accelerators are supported by power management systems capable of delivering 750 megawatts of electricity in under a millisecond.

### Expansion Into Medical Applications

In 2017, TAE spun off a subsidiary called TAE Life Sciences to explore medical applications of its particle accelerator technology. This unit is developing a compact particle accelerator designed for hospital installation in radiation therapy.

Earlier this month, TAE Life Sciences partnered with the UK Atomic Energy Authority to commercialize this medical technology, marking an important step towards practical healthcare applications.

### Future Plans and Outlook

TMTG and TAE Technologies expect to complete their merger by mid-2026. Around the same time, TAE plans to commence construction of a 50-megawatt fusion power plant. Further down the line, the company aims to bring up to 500 megawatts of additional fusion capacity online, advancing closer toward viable commercial fusion energy.

This merger represents a significant development at the intersection of emerging media and advanced clean energy technologies, potentially shaping both sectors in the years to come.

President Trump EXPLODES On Nasty New York Times ‘Reporter’ After Catching Her Spreading Crazy Health Rumors About Him

Posted on by

President Trump has shown remarkable energy for years despite his age, but that is not stopping fake news hacks from spreading loony health rumors about him after ignoring an actual vegetable for four years. New York Times ‘reporter’ Katie Rogers published a piece Tuesday evening alleging that Trump’s age is catching up with him, claiming “Americans see him a lot less than they used to.” “He starts around noon, his days are shorter, and he’s traveling less than he did in his 1st term,” Rogers claimed. Rogers also alleged that Trump had been ‘dozing off’ during recent public events and being secretive about medical procedures he’s had. At the same time, she also reminded readers that Trump mocked Biden’s actual lack of energy and propensity to sleep on the job while his handlers ran the country. She even implied that Trump may be on Ozempic, noting that the President had lost weight despite supposedly not exercising and eating a lot of fast food. He does not get regular exercise, in part because he has a long-held theory that people are born with a finite amount of energy and that vigorous activity can deplete that reserve, like a battery. He enjoys red meat and is known to eat McDonald’s by the sackful. According to his physician, however, he has lost weight. In 2020, Mr. Trump tipped the scales at 244 pounds, a weight formally deemed obese for his 6-foot-3 frame. This year, Mr. Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean P. Barbabella, said in a summary of the president’s health that he weighed 224 pounds. Mr. Trump frequently muses about the effectiveness of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic he refers to them as the “fat drug” and talks about people he knows who have taken the medications, but his physician has not said if he takes one of the drugs himself. The purpose of the hit piece was to portray Trump as a washed-up old man and a dishonest hypocrite. Of course, we all know how the corporate media covered up the truth about Joe Biden’s health during his four years in power. Trump did not take these ridiculous rumors lying down and absolutely went off on Truth Social. “The Creeps at the Failing New York Times are at it again,” Trump wrote. “I won the 2024 Presidential Election in a Landslide, winning all Seven Swing States, the Popular Vote, and the Electoral College by a lot. I won our Nation’s Districts by 2750 to 550, a complete wipeout.” “I settled 8 Wars, have 48 New Stock Market Highs, our Economy is Great, and our Country is RESPECTED AGAIN all over the World, respected like never before. The last Administration had the Highest Inflation in history I have already brought that down to normal, and prices, including groceries, are coming down,” he added. “To do this requires a lot of Work and Energy, and I have never worked so hard in my life. Yet despite all of this the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact opposite.” “They know this is wrong, as is almost everything that they write about me, including election results, ALL PURPOSELY NEGATIVE. This cheap “RAG” is truly an “ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.” Trump then blasted Rogers on a personal level, calling her ‘ugly’ inside and out. “The writer of the story, Katie Rogers, who is assigned to write only bad things about me, is a third-rate reporter who is ugly, both inside and out,” Trump said. “Despite all of this, I have my highest Poll Numbers, ever, and with record setting investment being made in America, they should only go up. ” “There will be a day when I run low on Energy, it happens to everyone, but with a PERFECT PHYSICAL EXAM AND A COMPREHENSIVE COGNITIVE TEST (“That was aced”) JUST RECENTLY TAKEN, it certainly is not now!” “GOD BLESS AMERICA & MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”.

Lucas: Trying to make cents of the penny’s demise

Posted on by

Once a proud coin of the realm, the penny has become a pest. It gets no respect. And the penny is not even worth one cent anymore. It costs the government nearly four cents to mint one penny. No wonder President Donald Trump ordered its demise. So in the future, every time it rains it won’t rain “Pennies from Heaven.” Speaking about loose change, the nickel, dime and quarter will be next on the hit list before you know it. It costs 14 cents, or 14 pennies, to make a nickel, six cents to make a dime, and 15 cents to make a quarter. And Trump did the penny pinching without Sen. Chuck Schumer and the Democrats fighting to save the penny by shutting the government down over it. He did it without even offering Schumer a penny for his thoughts. Realistically, “Shutdown Schumer” would have been better off had he shut down the government to save the penny. “In for penny, in for a pound,” a fighting Schumer could have said. After all, a penny saved is a penny earned. But when he learned that Trump secretly planned to replace Abraham Lincoln on the face of the penny with his own image, he balked. It was a bad penny of an idea after all. Unnamed and nonexistent sources said Schumer called it a “penny-ante” kind of a deal in the first place. Of course, Trump had no such plans to replace Lincoln on the penny. But whatever Trump planned the Democrats would have attacked him on it anyway. Trump may not like pennies, but he likes Lincoln. Besides, my imaginary White House sources say that Trump, after shooting down idea of replacing President John F. Kennedy on the old half-dollar coin, is planning to replace George Washington on the $1 bill. Under his picture it will read, “IN TRUMP WE TRUST.” He plans to do that at the opening ceremony of the new Trump Ballroom he is building at the East Wing of the White House, which has cost a pretty penny even if the money to pay for it came from private sources and not taxpayers. Still, challenging Trump over the abolition of the penny is something that people could have related to. Everybody has pennies, whether they want to get rid of them or not. Pennies are everywhere. Which is why putting my two cents in at Market Basket I always say “Close enough” to the change, including pennies, the part-time high school cashiers having difficulty making change give me back. And it would have been a better way to challenge Trump rather than shut down the government and institute payless paydays for the military, air traffic controllers and government workers, while threatening needy people to go without food. It was a Schumer Shutdown over nothing. In the event you have not been watching every penny, Trump ordered Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to stop making new pennies in February. Last week the U. S. Mint ended their production. The Mint has been producing them since 1793. Lincoln’s image was put on the penny in 1909. While no new pennies will be manufactured, there are billions of them in circulation and they will be around for a while, like many other government programs. Pennies, like the American people, are rugged survivors. During World War II, for instance, pennies were zinc-coated to save copper for the war effort. But they bounced back after we won the war. We have lived with pennies all our lives. Pennies are American history. And they will still be around, outlasting people, politicians, popes, pundits, poets, paupers and presidents. Save the cent.

Trump Set To Meet With ‘Communist Mayor of New York City’

Posted on by
Reply

President Trump and Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani will meet in the Oval Office on Friday, the president says. It will be the first time that Mr. Trump has met with his hometown’s mayor-elect. Mr. Mamdani has said consistently that he has wanted to meet with the president, so long as they could find a way to best serve New Yorkers in tandem. Mr. Trump has already started threatening to withhold federal funds from the city where he was born, raised, and grew his family business for the better part of eight decades. “Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani, has asked for a meeting. We have agreed that this meeting will take place at the Oval Office on Friday, November 21st. Further details to follow!” the president wrote on Truth Social Wednesday night. Returning to Washington, D. C., from Florida on Sunday night, Mr. Trump told reporters on the tarmac that he was willing to meet with Mr. Mamdani so that they could figure out a way to make things “work” for New York City. “The mayor of New York, I will say, would like to meet with us and we’ll work something out,” the president said. “We want to see everything work out well for New York.” During an interview with MSNOW’s Chris Hayes on Wednesday night, Mr. Mamdani confirmed that the meeting was taking place. “I want to just speak plainly to the president about what it means to actually stand up for New Yorkers,” Mr. Mamdani said, adding that he wants to discuss the cost of living with Mr. Trump. “These are the stakes for New Yorkers and their ability to keep calling this city their home,” the mayor-elected said. Mr. Trump weighed in on the city’s mayoral race just hours before election day earlier this month, telling voters to support Governor Andrew Cuomo a longtime foe of Mr. Trump’s. The president went so far as to threaten the city’s federal funds if Mr. Mamdani was elected. “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds, other than the very minimum as required, to my beloved first home, because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival!” the president wrote one day before the mayoral election. Mr. Trump has already tried to tie up New York’s federal funds in the past as a form of retribution for Democrats’ lack of acquiescence. At the beginning of the government shutdown in October, the Office of Management and Budget put tens of billions of dollars for infrastructure projects in the city on hold as a way to pressure Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries. The major point of tension that could emerge most rapidly between Messrs. Trump and Mamdani once the latter is inaugurated in January will be the issue of immigration. Mr. Mamdani says he will not allow local cooperation with federal deportation or detention efforts, much to Mr. Trump’s chagrin.

Trump nominates new CFPB director, but White House says agency is still closing

Posted on by

By KEN SWEET, AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) President Trump nominated Stuart Levenbach as the next director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, using a legal maneuver to keep his budget director Russell Vought as acting director of the bureau while the Trump administration continues on its plan to shut down the consumer financial protection agency. Levenbach is currently an associate director inside the Office of Management and Budget, handling issues related to natural resources, energy, science and water issues. Levenbach’s resume shows significant experience dealing with science and natural resources issues, acting as chief of staff of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration during Trump’s first term. Levenbach’s nomination is not meant to go through to confirmation, an administration official said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters. Under the Vacancies Act, Vought can only act as acting director for 210 days, but now that Trump has nominated someone to the position, that clock has been suspended until the Senate approves or denies Levenbach’s confirmation as director. Vought is Levenbach’s boss. The CFPB has been nonfunctional much of the year. Many of its employees have been ordered not to work, and the only major work the bureau is doing is unwinding the regulations and rules it put into place during Trump’s first term and during the Biden administration. While in the acting director role, Vought has signaled that he wishes to dismantle, or vastly diminish, the bureau. The latest blow to the bureau came earlier this month, when the White House said it does not plan to withdraw any funds from the Federal Reserve, which is where the bureau gets its funding, to fund the bureau past Dec. 31. The White House and the Justice Department used a legal interpretation of the law that created the bureau, the Dodd-Frank Act, that the Fed must be profitable in order to fund the CFPB’s operations. Several judges have rejected this argument when it was brought up by companies, but it’s never been the position of the government until this year that the CFPB requires the Fed to be profitable to have operating funds. “Donald Trump’s sending the Senate a new nominee to lead the CFPB looks like nothing more than a front for Russ Vought to stay on as Acting Director indefinitely as he tries to illegally close down the agency,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the top Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee, in a statement. The bureau was created after the 2008 financial crisis as part of the Dodd-Frank Act, a law passed to overhaul the financial system and require banks to hold more capital to avoid another financial crisis. The CFPB was created to be a independent advocate for consumers to help them avoid bad actors in the financial system.

President Trump told McDonald’s owners, operators, and suppliers on Monday that prices will decline, delivering remarks at the fast-food chain’s Impact Summit in Washington, D. C. The event came amid ongoing national discussions about inflation, the cost of living, and economic pressures affecting consumers. “Prices are coming down,” President Trump said during his address. “I will tell you that nobody has done what we’ve done in terms of pricing,” Trump said. “We took over a mess. We had the highest inflation in the history of our country . and now we have normal inflation.” Inflation measured 3 percent in September over the previous 12 months, the highest rate recorded so far this year. Food prices remain a significant point of concern for consumers. This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year According to the Economist’s “Big Mac” index, the average price of the McDonald’s burger was $6. 01 in July, an increase from $5. 69 one year earlier. Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis showed that ground beef averaged $6. 32 in September, compared to $5. 67 at the same time last year. Last week, the administration adjusted tariff rates on imports of beef, coffee, tropical fruits, and other food products as part of an effort to address affordability issues. “We have it down to a low level,” Trump said of inflation. “But we’re going to get it a little bit lower. We want perfection.” Before a room of McDonald’s franchise leaders, Trump described himself as “one of your all-time, most loyal customers.” He said McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski told him that “prices at McDonald’s are coming down,” referencing ongoing cost adjustments within the company. Trump also highlighted the administration’s economic policies, including investment and trade decisions. He said the country would have faced significant financial challenges had he not won the 2024 election. “You are so damn lucky that I won that election,” Trump said. During the 2024 campaign, Trump visited a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, where he served french fries. He referenced that moment in his speech, saying he was “the very first former McDonald’s frycook to ever become president of the United States,” adding, “It was not that easy!” in reference to working the drive-thru. Trump told the audience that McDonald’s employees have a unique view of everyday American life. “Before the sun rises, you’re serving hot coffee to construction workers, nurses and police officers on the way to the job,” he said. “In the evening, you stand ready with the fast dinner and the smile for busy moms and their children as they race from school to soccer practice. And late at night your lights are on, and the only one still glowing when the long haul trucker pulls up for a good meal and the best Coca-Cola in America.” Trump also mentioned his preferred menu item, saying, “I like the fish,” in reference to McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich. He added, “You could do a little bit more tartar sauce.” WATCH:.

Israeli Politicians in an Uproar Over Prospect of America Selling F-35 Jets to Saudi Arabia

Posted on by

Party leaders in the Israeli opposition are in an uproar over the prospects of Saudi Arabia acquiring F-35 fighter jets after President Trump announced his intention to sell the advanced warplanes to Riyadh. “I will say that we will be doing that. We’ll be selling F-35s,” Mr. Trump said ahead of his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman at the White House. The announcement has sparked intense debate in Israel, currently the only country in the Middle East that has the fighter jet. “This is a sell-out of Israel’s security. The Middle East is changing, and not for our benefit,” said Avigdor Lieberman, leader of Yisrael Beitenu party and former defence minister under Prime Minister Netanyahu. Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF chief and leader of the newly established Yashar party, also reacted strongly to the news, holding Prime Minister Netanyahu directly responsible. “Netanyahu has lost the ability to protect Israel’s national interests. The preoccupation with selling F-35 aircraft to Saudi Arabia reveals the extent to which the Israeli government has lost its ability to influence decisions critical to national security,” Mr. Eisenkot said. The sale of F-35s is believed among Israeli experts and commentators to be linked to a normalization deal with Saudi Arabia. Yet according to Yair Lapid, Opposition leader and Yesh Atid party chief, the F-35s were never part of a deal with the Saudis. “As someone who has been in dozens of discussions on a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, the F35 deal was never part of a normalization agreement, because it was clear that Israel’s security required preserving the qualitative advantage,” Mr. Lapid said. Mr. Lapid was foreign minister and then prime minister in 2021 and 2022 respectively where he engaged in talks about expanding the Abraham Accords. “It cannot be that because of the government’s weakness we will give up Israeli security interests and allow the F35 deal,” Mr. Lapid added. The national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, when asked about the prospects of Saudi Arabia acquiring F-35 jets, told the Jewish News Syndicate: “We are in the Middle East we cannot get confused. We extend a hand to anyone who truly wants to extend a hand and not harm the State of Israel, but we must preserve our superiority.” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich echoed Mr. Ben-Gvir, telling JNS that he was “confident, with God’s help, that Israel’s security superiority will remain, in all aspects.” “It’s a matter of national security and our dialogue with the Americans. How to maintain Israel’s advantage and security superiority; that’s what is being discussed behind closed doors,” Mr. Smotrich added.

Donald Trump Issues H-1B Visa Update

Posted on by
Reply

President Donald Trump has defended his recent support for H-1B visas, arguing that the United States needs to bring in skilled foreign workers to bolster key industries, despite backlash from within his base. Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office on Monday, Trump said America no longer had enough trained workers in specialized areas like semiconductor manufacturing, and that importing talent was necessary until domestic workers could be trained. “We don’t make chips too much here anymore, but we are going to be in a period of a year, we’re going to have a big portion of the chip market. But we have to train our people to make chips,” he said. Why It Matters Trump’s renewed defense of the H-1B program puts him directly at odds with some of the most vocal figures in the MAGA movement, who view the visas as harmful to American workers and a betrayal of his immigration stance. His comments expose a growing tension inside the Republican Party, as the party’s populist wing seeks to curb high-skilled immigration, while the tech and manufacturing sectors warn that foreign workers are essential to fill gaps in domestic expertise. What To Know Trump recently sparked backlash from his supporters when he defended the H-1B visa program while speaking to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “You also do have to bring in talent,” he told her. When Ingraham contended that the U. S. had “plenty of talented people,” Trump responded: “No, you don’t, no you don’t. “You don’t have certain talents, and people have to learn. You can’t take people off an unemployment line and say ‘I’m gonna put you into a factory and we’re going to make missiles,'” he said. On Monday, the president doubled down, arguing that American workers did not have the skills needed to produce semiconductors, an industry he said the U. S. had “foolishly” allowed to move largely to Taiwan, and which he now planned to grow domestically. Many prominent Republicans have advocated for limiting or abolishing the H-1B visa program entirely. The Trump administration earlier this year introduced a $100,000 fee for companies seeking H-1B visas for their workers. What People Are Saying Conservative podcaster Steven Crowder wrote on X in response to Trump’s comments: “There’s no shortage of talent in America. If H-1B visas were really about ‘the best and brightest,’ they wouldn’t all go to the cheapest bidder.” Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene said on X last week: “I am introducing a bill to END the mass replacement of American workers by aggressively phasing out the H-1B program. Big Tech, AI giants, hospitals, and industries across the board have abused the H-1B system to cut out our own people.” Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis said on X last week: “Republicans have a majority in Congress and could legislate elimination of H-1B (and any programs designed to import cheap foreign labor). Deeds, not words, are what matter.” What Happens Next Trump’s support for H-1B visas is likely to continue to put him at odds with conservatives who want to curb foreign labor.

Japan’s economy shrank as a result of Trump’s tariffs

Posted on by

Japan’s economy showed signs of growth earlier in the year, but economists have predicted that the optimistic reports were inflated as exporters rushed to beat U. S. tariffs. Japan’s largest export is vehicles, and its top destination for exports is the United States. According to a government economic report, Japan’s gross domestic product fell 0. 4% in the July to September quarter on a quarter-by-quarter basis. The decline was the country’s first contraction in six quarters. The annualized contraction, however, was less than expected, according to Reuters, which anticipated a 2. 5% annualized contraction this quarter. Japanese automakers have seen exports plummet, and residential housing investments have also contributed to the contraction, according to the news outlet.
