The day began with coverage of Trump's July 4th speech, where he boasted of US strength and attacked communism, but editorial focus shifted dramatically by evening. After a day of sports—Leclerc's Silverstone win, Sinner's Wimbledon victory—and a chilling Milan stabbing where the attacker said he enjoyed it, the dominant story became Trump's personal attack on Prime Minister Meloni. He posted a meme on Truth Social calling for a 'restrictive order' against her, a move that seized headlines across six major outlets (Corriere, Repubblica, Sky TG24, Adnkronos, La Stampa, ANSA). This escalation, following days of papal rebukes and geopolitical friction, turned the day into a spectacle of transatlantic political theater, overshadowing earlier news.
