If he is re-elected in 2024, Donald Trump is going to take "revenge" against his political antagonists, federal officials and even former allies like Florida governor Ron DeSantis, according to Mr Trump's niece Mary Trump. On a Friday episode of her podcast The Mary Trump Show, Ms Trump interviewed New York University historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat, and the pair agreed that strongmen-style leaders like Mr Trump who find themselves in legal jeopardy will often continue to seek power to punish their enemies and avoid punishment themselves. Ms Ben-Ghiat believes the former president will take special umbrage with Mr DeSantis, the most successful of the Republicans to parrot Mr Trump's style and false claims about the 2022 election, because the Florida governor has reaped all the political benefits without facing federal investigations and impeachment hearings. |

What is it like to live with a stammer? |
Steven has stammered for as long as he can remember, but his earliest memory of it being a problem was when he reached secondary school. "I had an English teacher who used to randomly pick students to read out loud," the 24-year-old says. "As someone who stammers, I found this very, very hard." To try and resolve the issue, Steven's parents met their son's teacher, asking if he could refrain from picking on him in class, writes Joanna Whitehead. His teacher insisted Steven's stammer was "just nerves". "[He said] if I got over the nerves, I wouldn't stammer, which is incorrect. He continued to pick on me to read out loud." According to Stamma (the British Stammering Association), around 2 per cent of people – or over 113 million people worldwide – are non-fluent in verbal speech. Stammering, or stuttering as it is also known, is a neurological condition that makes it physically hard to speak. People who stammer might prolong, repeat, or get stuck on certain words or sounds, while others might display signs of visible tension as they try to get a word out. Largely affecting men – across all ethnicities – stammering bears no reflection on intellectual capacity. |
