Trump shares moody new video with poem voiceover about ‘suffering to win’
Trump shares moody new video with poem voiceover about ‘suffering to win’
Donald Trump, fresh off being indicted alongside his allies in Georgia for conspiring to subvert the state’s 2020 presidential election results, has shared a moody new campaign video which seems to obliquely reference his recent legal troubles. In a clip shared on his Truth Social account, the former president appears in a black and white montage, as the poem The Proof of Worth by Edgar Albert Guest is read in the background. The poem centres around themes of persisting through adversity. One stanza reads: The test of a man is how much he will bear/ For a cause which he knows to be right,/How long will he stand in the depths of despair,/How much will he suffer and fight?/There are many to serve when the victory’s near/And few are the hurts to be borne,/But it calls for a leader of courage to cheer/The men in a battle forlorn. The following section continues: It’s the way you hold out against odds that are great/That proves what your courage is worth,/It’s the way that you stand to the bruises of fate/That shows up your stature and girth./And victory’s nothing but proof of your skill,/Veneered with a glory that’s thin,/Unless it is proof of unfaltering will,/And unless you have suffered to win. The message of the video is likely in reference to Mr Trump’s recent Monday indictment, which accused him and 18 other defendants of attempting to illegally overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election win in Georgia. In addition to the former president facing charges, the indictment in Fulton County also names a number of other high-profile figures including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, Trump lawyer and ex-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, attorney Sidney Powell, John Eastman, along with former US Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark, and those falsely appointed as “alternate” Georgia electors. Mr Trump has claimed he will unveil an “irrefutable” report that will exonerate him from the charges laid out in the indictment, which he has previously branded as a politically motivated “witch hunt.” “A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday.

Get set for Wimbledon with these strawberry recipes
Get set for Wimbledon with these strawberry recipes
Wimbledon is underway and that means the classic British summertime treat of strawberries and cream is ready to be dished out across the courts, with a staggering 1.92 million strawberries expected to be consumed during the tournament. When buying strawberries, we are attracted to the deeper coloured fruits as they are the ripest, but it’s worth being mindful of when you plan to eat them as fully ripe strawberries are best served the same day. Always check the bottom of the punnet to see if the strawberries are starting to bruise as this is a sign they are beginning to be past their best. When it comes to cooking, if you overcook strawberries, you can get a jam-like taste rather than a freshness, so it’s best to use recipes that don’t require a lot of heat and keep it simple for a more refined flavour. Simple touches like adding a dash of lemon will help the strawberries to pack a punch and elevate any recipe. I also like to add a crack of pink peppercorn to macerated strawberries in whatever I’m using them for, this helps enhance the floral notes of the strawberries, as when you eat them the pepper helps open up the nasal passage. Final-worthy dessert: strawberry shortcake Ingredients: For the shortcake: 115g cake flour 5g baking powder 5g salt 3 eggs, separated 1 pinch cream of tartar 175g sugar 15g unsalted butter, softened 5g vanilla extract 125ml milk For the topping: 500g strawberries 1 lemon 75g caster sugar 1 pinch of ground pink peppercorns Method: For the shortcake: Sift and combine all the dry ingredients, then rub the butter into the flour mix. Whisk the egg whites and sugar together until they form medium peaks. Combine the egg yolks and milk with the dry ingredients. Separate into equal-sized balls and bake at 180ºC until golden. For the topping: Quarter or roughly dice the strawberries, cover with the sugar, pepper and lemon zest and leave to sit for 15-20 minutes in the fridge. To serve: Place a few of the shortcakes at the bottom of a bowl or on a large plate. Top with a dollop or two of whipped cream or thick yoghurt, cover with the fresh strawberries and drizzle with the strawberry syrup. Finish by crumbling a shortcake or two over the top. For extra flair: Baste the halves of two peaches and sear in a pan with beurre noisette and a sprig of thyme on a medium heat. Serve on the side of the strawberry shortcake. Quickly served treat: brioche with passion fruit and strawberries Ingredients: For the fruit mix: 500g strawberries 8 fresh passion fruits 60g caster sugar 1 pinch salt For the topping: 200g mascarpone 3 tbsp honey Zest of 1 lemon Brioche to serve Method: Scoop the passion fruit seeds into a small pan and bring to a gentle simmer on a low heat. Add the sugar and the salt and simmer for about 5-6 minutes, until the seeds are shiny. Remove from the stove and allow to cool for five minutes, then pour over your halved strawberries. Place them in the fridge to marinate. To serve: Slice the brioche with a generous thickness, and toast in a pan over a medium heat with a knob of butter, until golden. Flip and repeat. Mix the mascarpone, honey, and lemon zest, spread over the brioche and add a generous amount of the strawberry fruit mix. For extra flair: Roast a handful of pistachios and crush them slightly. The green of the nut against the rich red of the strawberries will add a punch of colour.
