President Donald Trump had a searing response Tuesday to the banking industry, saying that banks were trying to "undermine" controversial legislation he has touted. Trump has pushed the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins, also known as the GENIUS Act. The bill seeks to create a legal framework for stablecoins, or digital assets whose value is tied to a physical asset like fiat currency or gold. It has support from the crypto industry, which considers the bill an important step toward mainstreaming digital assets.Trump attacked banks, calling them out and claiming that if the United States doesn't act quickly to pass the cryptocurrency bill, China would benefit and make America less competitive. Negotiations between the White House and the crypto and banking industry were underway, with representatives weighing in over the bill's language, according to CoinDesk.He shared the following on his Truth Social platform:"The Genius Act is being threatened and undermined by the Banks, and that is unacceptable — We are not going to allow it. The U.S. needs to get Market Structure done, ASAP. Americans should earn more money on their money. The Banks are hitting record profits, and we are not going to allow them to undermine our powerful Crypto Agenda that will end up going to China, and other Countries if we don’t get The Clarity Act taken care of. The Genius Act was the U.S.A.’s first big step to make the United States the Crypto Capital of the World, and getting The Clarity Act done is the next step to finish the job and, most importantly, keep this big and powerful Industry in our Country. The Banks should not be trying to undercut The Genius Act, or hold The Clarity Act hostage. They need to make a good deal with the Crypto Industry because that’s what’s in best interest of the American People. This Industry cannot be taken from the People of America when it is so close to becoming truly successful. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

A MAGA feud broke out between podcaster Megyn Kelly and conservative guest host of "The View" Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Tuesday. Hasselbeck, who returned to the daytime talk show to fill in for host Alyssa Farah Griffin, delivered criticism of Kelly, The Daily Beast reported. Kelly commented on the war in Iran during her Monday podcast, "The Megyn Kelly Show," about how American troops "should not die for a foreign country." "I don't think those four service members died for the United States. I think they died for Iran or Israel," Kelly said."If I can just say this, number one: Megyn Kelly’s clip that we ran before saying who those troops died for. How dare you, Megyn Kelly?" Hasselbeck said. "When they are sacrificing their lives in our uniform, how dare you tell them, or their families, or our nation, what they died for?"Kelly had a scathing response for Hasselbeck. "Elisabeth was too weak to handle the ladies of 'The View' and even the morning set on Fox and Friends," Kelly told the Daily Mail in response to Hasselbeck's comments on Tuesday. "She ran from the public square into exile so she could avoid mean people saying unflattering things about her — and there are many to say," Kelly said. But that wasn't her only clap back at her fellow conservative."Now she thinks she’s going to come back for a day and be the arbiter of appropriate conversation around the war we just launched in Iran? Please. No one gives a d--- what this know-nothing has to say," Kelly added.
