The Evening: Trump’s winding news conference

Also, Syria's new leader called for sanctions to be lifted.
The Evening

December 16, 2024

Good evening. Here's the latest at the end of Monday.

  • Trump's wide-ranging news conference
  • A school shooting in Wisconsin
  • Plus, the most "annoying" Christmas song

Trump held his first news conference as president-elect

Donald Trump invited reporters to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida today for his first news conference since the election. The president-elect spent nearly half an hour jumping from one topic to another, including border security, tax cuts and the war in Ukraine, before taking questions.

The event was in many ways reminiscent of Trump's first term, when he relished seizing the world's attention. Trump said Ukraine should be ready to make a deal, cited debunked data linking vaccines and autism, threatened more lawsuits against media companies and accused the Biden administration of hiding the truth about recent drone sightings. We fact-checked the event.

Trump said he would consider pardoning Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, and claimed that Elon Musk would be able to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget with "no impact on people." He also announced that SoftBank, the Japanese tech investment giant, plans to inject $100 billion in American projects, likely to be focused on the infrastructure needed to support the A.I. boom.

At one point, Trump suggested that he was being treated better than last time he was elected. "The first term, everybody was fighting me," he said. "In this term, everybody wants to be my friend. I don't know — my personality changed or something."

Two people killed in a Wisconsin school shooting

A teenage student opened fire this morning at a Christian school in Madison, Wis., killing one student and one teacher, the authorities said. Six others were injured, including two students who have life-threatening injuries.

The suspect — who police said had attended the school, but declined for now to release their name, age or gender — was found fatally wounded inside the school. The authorities said that they had not yet identified a motive.

Syria's new leader called for sanctions to be lifted

The leader of the rebel alliance that swept to power in Syria last week urged the U.S. and other countries to remove terrorism designations from his group and to lift sanctions that had been imposed on Bashar al-Assad's government.

In an interview today, the leader, Ahmed al-Shara, said the moves would allow the new government to focus on rebuilding Syria. The group has also begun to receive diplomats from the U.N., the Middle East and Europe.

In related news, al-Assad gave what appeared to be his first public remarks since fleeing Syria. He said he was evacuated by Russian forces as the rebels advanced on the capital, but that he had wanted to stay and fight.

Germany's government collapsed

German lawmakers voted today to dissolve Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government, placing Europe's largest economy in the hands of a caretaker government. Scholz had called for the vote last month after his three-party coalition splintered, leaving him without a parliamentary majority to pass laws or a budget. Snap elections are expected on Feb. 23.

How the wackiest Christmas song became a hit

On a snowy night in 1978, Randy Brooks, an aspiring songwriter, found himself stranded after a gig at a hotel near Lake Tahoe. He went back inside, where he was invited onstage to perform with a bluegrass duo. That chance encounter led to the creation of what might be the unlikeliest holiday hit: "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer."

The tune — written by Brooks and released by Elmo & Patsy, the duo he met that night — hit No. 1 on a Billboard holiday chart in 1983. Decades later, listeners still can't get the song out of their heads.

Have a catchy evening.

Thanks for reading. I'll be back tomorrow. — Matthew
