Matthew Livalsberger, a combat veteran, detonated a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas as a self-described "wake-up call" rather than a terrorist attack.

The discussion of Trump's taxes continues with a focus on the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and the use of rehabilitation credits for the Trump Hotel.

Attorney General William Barr is facing criticism for booking a $30,000 private holiday party at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Activist Naomi Klein is promoting a "nuisance" strategy to disrupt Donald Trump's businesses, including making and then canceling hotel reservations.
