US President Donald Trump dodged a question about his “naughty list,” saying it’s a long list and warning that naming names could “start aproblem out there in the world.” When the reporter asked, “Who is on your naughty list, Trump jokingly replied that he had a “long list” before bragging about the United States being “the hottest country in the world.” He added, “Ooooo… It’s a LONG list! I’d better not tell you, or it’ll cause a problem out there in the world. We’ve got a pretty big naughty list, but our country is doing well, we’e the hottest country anywhere in the world right, and a year ago we were a dead country,” Trump said.Several users on internet guessing the name for the list but the most common name came was “Adam Schiff.”Earlier, the White House has launched a new web page called ‘Offender Hall of Shame’, to expose what they call ‘false and misleading stories’.Story links, news outlet names and information about the journalists who wrote the articles are all detailed on the web portal.Each story is categorised by ‘misrepresentation’, ‘omission of context’, ‘bias’, ‘malpractice’, ‘mischaracterisation’, ‘lie’, ‘false claim’ and even ‘left-wing lunacy’.On Sunday, Trump became the first president in US history to host the Kennedy Center Honors, amid turmoil within the performing arts centre after he removed the president and much of the governing body and installed himself as chairman.Since returning to office in January, Trump had made the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which is named after a Democratic predecessor, a touchstone in a broader attack against what he had lambasted as “woke” anti-American culture. Trump said in August that he had agreed to host the show.At a State Department dinner for the honorees on Saturday, he said he was doing so “at the request of a certain television network.” He predicted that the broadcast, scheduled to air Dec. 23 on CBS and Paramount+, would have its best ratings ever.“It’s going to be something that I believe, and I’m going to make a prediction: This will be the highest-rated show that they’ve ever done and they’ve gotten some pretty good ratings, but there’s nothing like what’s going to happen” on Sunday night, Trump said.He assumed the role that in the past had been held by journalists such as Walter Cronkite and Stephen Colbert, as well as comedians. Before him, presidents watched the show alongside the honorees. Trump skipped the honours altogether during his first term. Since 1978, the honours have recognised stars for their influence on American culture and the arts.This year’s class included Sylvester Stallone for his Rocky and Rambo films, Kiss for its flashy, cartoonish makeup and onstage pyrotechnics, Gloria Gaynor for her feminist anthem I Will Survive, country music superstar George Strait and Tony Award-winning actor Michael Crawford.Stallone said being honoured at the ceremony was like being in the “eye of a hurricane.” The action star stated “This is an amazing event.” “But you’re caught up in the middle of it. It’s hard to take it in until the next day. ..: but I’m incredibly humbled by it,” he added.Crawford said it was “humbling, especially at the end of a career.”Gaynor said it “feels like a dream” to be honoured. “To be recognized in this way is the pinnacle,” she said on the red carpet.
