Gibson took to Twitter in the wake of the Senate 8 Abortion Bill in Texas to “go on record” as a “pro-life game developer.” This statement obviously met with an intense backlash, as many gamers and developers took issue with Gibson’s staunch support of the anti-abortion position during the heat that recent news has caused....
The Hall of Famer, who was interviewed by the Miami Herald, shared her thoughts on the present women wrestlers in the industry and asked the WWE to provide them with more exposure. Trish said,”We represented things different. We were kind of there to work. That was our mantra. We wanted you to look at us for our work, not necessarily what we are wearing.

“There’s a whole menu of potential things that he [Trump] could do,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said while appearing on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria. “And I’m sure they’re working right now on how to refine the thinking and come up with something that’s an appropriate response.” The White House declined to comment on this matter when asked for comment by Newsweek.

Trump announced his third presidential campaign in November at his Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida. Kushner, who served as a senior adviser to Trump during his presidency, attended the event, but Ivanka Trump did not, saying she was prioritizing the couple’s children instead.
