Trump committed mortgage fraud, according to Trump.

Given Trump’s position, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the DOJ,” said one mortgage law expert.

Trump has deemed that this type of misrepresentation is sufficient to preclude someone from serving the country.

Australia is sinking billions into AUKUS submarines – yet defence reforms may reveal we already have a credible deterrent through the RAAF and new drone technologies. Is AUKUS necessary, or is self-reliance being overlooked?
