Donald Trump has described himself as the most persecuted person in US history. The Independent said that “following a WWE-style entrance onto the stage”, the former president appeared at a student conference to “run through his well-worn list of gripes about the climate crisis, the media, trans people, and Nato”. He then told the audience he was “the most persecuted person in the history [of] our country”.

Public square from ancient world discovered

The remains of stone structures and animal bones suggest ritual animal sacrifices in the settlement that was founded in the 7th century BC.
