Speaking to reporters on Wednesday before boarding a new Air Force One aircraft donated by Qatar, Trump said his wealth had grown because "everybody's profiting". "You know why I'm profiting, because the stock market's going up, everybody's profiting," he said. Chinese film Dear You will receive another 70 cinema screenings in its original Teochew dialect after strong public demand, bringing the total number of public Teochew screenings to 126. Cinema operator Golden Village and distributor Clover Films announced on 1 July that the additional screenings will run from 3 to 12 July across nine cinemas, including GV VivoCity, GV Tampines, GV Jurong Point, Shaw Lido and Shaw JEM.
The framing of Trump's defense of his wealth is presented without critical counter-analysis, though it remains factual reporting.
