During the past 13 minutes, U.S. President Donald Trump stated, “Smart people don’t like me,” according to a post on X from @patriottakes. Separately, the Gopher Football account on X, @GopherFootball, received attention from social media user @strait_vibinn. These developments occur amidst ongoing discussions regarding political rhetoric and national sentiment. Previous reports from September 14th, 2025, indicated Senator James Lankford's statement regarding 14,000 threats against members of Congress this calendar year, and Utah Governor Spencer Cox's description of current events as a "direct assault on America." Further context from previous reporting includes China's formal invitation to President Trump for a summit in Beijing, though a meeting at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Forum in South Korea on October 31 remains a possibility due to ongoing trade and fentanyl talks. Speaker Mike Johnson also stated that "appropriate sanctions on Russia are far overdue."
