'Unhappy' Trump confronts Kash Patel after beer-soaked Olympics video: report

President Donald Trump privately told FBI Director Kash Patel that he was displeased with his locker room behavior during a recent trip to the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, according to NBC News.

Patel went viral after celebrating with the U.S. men’s hockey team following its gold medal win over Canada – the first U.S. gold in the event since 1980. Video first published by ProPublica showed Patel chugging a beer, banging on a table, and shouting in celebration.

“Trump — who does not drink — told Patel he was unhappy not only with that scene, but also with Patel’s use of government aircraft for the trip to Milan, Italy," a source familiar with the matter told NBC News. Trump expressed his displeasure in a conversation with Patel, the report said.

The FBI declined to comment on whether Trump had expressed frustration with Patel. Instead, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson pointed to crime rates “dropping across the board,” and added that “the President has full confidence in his Administration.”

Patel has defended his trip since the video went viral, saying he traveled to Italy on official business to meet with Italian law enforcement and U.S. security agencies supporting the games. The FBI director said he was “extremely humbled” to celebrate with Team USA in a post on X.

Still, the trip continues to draw scrutiny – and not just from Trump. The watchdog group Democracy Defenders Fund filed a Freedom of Information Act request on Friday seeking records related to Patel’s meetings and use of government resources during the trip, NBC News reported.

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September

The post 3 Paradoxes of Altcoin Season in September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Analyses and data indicate that the crypto market is experiencing its most active altcoin season since early 2025, with many altcoins outperforming Bitcoin. However, behind this excitement lies a paradox. Most retail investors remain uneasy as their portfolios show little to no profit. This article outlines the main reasons behind this situation. Altcoin Market Cap Rises but Dominance Shrinks Sponsored TradingView data shows that the TOTAL3 market cap (excluding BTC and ETH) reached a new high of over $1.1 trillion in September. Yet the share of OTHERS (excluding the top 10) has declined since 2022, now standing at just 8%. OTHERS Dominance And TOTAL3 Capitalization. Source: TradingView. In past cycles, such as 2017 and 2021, TOTAL3 and OTHERS.D rose together. That trend reflected capital flowing not only into large-cap altcoins but also into mid-cap and low-cap ones. The current divergence shows that capital is concentrated in stablecoins and a handful of top-10 altcoins such as SOL, XRP, BNB, DOG, HYPE, and LINK. Smaller altcoins receive far less liquidity, making it hard for their prices to return to levels where investors previously bought. This creates a situation where only a few win while most face losses. Retail investors also tend to diversify across many coins instead of adding size to top altcoins. That explains why many portfolios remain stagnant despite a broader market rally. Sponsored “Position sizing is everything. Many people hold 25–30 tokens at once. A 100x on a token that makes up only 1% of your portfolio won’t meaningfully change your life. It’s better to make a few high-conviction bets than to overdiversify,” analyst The DeFi Investor said. Altcoin Index Surges but Investor Sentiment Remains Cautious The Altcoin Season Index from Blockchain Center now stands at 80 points. This indicates that over 80% of the top 50 altcoins outperformed…
