"That's a middle finger to every American." Carlson is known for spreading false information and conspiracy theories. Last year, the fiery Trump supporter was fired from the conservative US network Fox News. In early February, he traveled to Moscow for an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

20:53 Weber: "A domino effect is about to begin"The West is planning to station US weapons in Germany, and the Kremlin responds with atomic threats.

Milwaukee, the host city of the Republican Party convention, is reportedly referred to by Trump as "a terrible city."

19:33 Melania Trump is missing in Milwaukee: Where is the ex-First Lady?Melania Trump is not on the speaker list for the final evening of the Republican Party convention. According to trusted sources, this does not necessarily mean that she will not appear on stage with Trump. In the past evenings, Trump has sat alone on the tribune in the hall and followed, among other things, the speech of his vice presidential candidate's wife, J.D. Vance. That Melania Trump is not announced, while Usha Vance supported her husband on stage, could once again fuel rumors about the state of the Trump marriage.
