A devastating fire engulfed the Grand Kartal Hotel at the popular Kartalkaya ski resort in northwestern Turkey early Tuesday morning, claiming at least 66 lives and injuring 51 others. The fire, which broke out around 3:30 a.m. local time in the hotel's restaurant section, spread rapidly, trapping guests on the upper floors.

Trump Defies Advisers, Insists on Being 'Protector' of Women

 

Former President Donald Trump revealed that his advisers had cautioned him against describing himself as a "protector" of women, a phrase he used in late September and reiterated at a recent rally in Wisconsin.

The former president's insistence on this rhetoric comes as he struggles to gain traction among female voters, a demographic that has historically been challenging for him.

As the election approaches, Trump's campaign continues to navigate the delicate balance of appealing to his base while attempting to broaden his support among key voter groups.
