President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary just revealed the "insanity" behind Trump's ploy to control Greenland, according to one analyst.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joined NBC News's "Meet the Press" on Sunday to discuss Trump's efforts to wrest control of Greenland from the Kingdom of Denmark. Will Saletan, writer for The Bulwark, discussed Bessent's interview in a new video for "Bulwark Takes," which he said was one of the most "embarrassing" of the entire administration.

A former federal prosecutor was taken aback on Monday by a jury's "staggering new rebuke" of one of President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutors.

Last week, a federal jury acquitted a 33-year-old man named Jacob Winkler after Trump's Department of Justice charged him with crimes stemming from shining a green laser at the presidential helicopter last year. The case was brought by former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro, who currently serves as the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., and the jury deliberated for just 35 minutes, according to reports.

Former Trump administration White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews shredded President Donald Trump over his escalating demands for the United States to acquire Greenland from Denmark, something both Danes and Greenlanders have repeatedly said they have no interest in.

Trump raised new alarms on Monday with the exposure of an angry letter to Norway, threatening to take over Greenland because he wasn't given a Nobel Peace Prize, another one of his fixations. The news prompted a wave of calls for Trump to be removed from office through the 25th Amendment.

President Donald Trump's designs on Greenland seem almost perfectly calculated to be a boon to Russia and Vladimir Putin, New York University professor and authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Monday evening.

"Ruth, what do you see as the validity of this move?" asked Melber. "On a scale of 0 to 10, we're seeing a lot of folks say zero. It has — it's not a risk/reward, it has no particular validity. What do you rate it? And then what do you think is really going on with Trump and this plan?"

Ex-CNN host Don Lemon didn't hold back on Monday when discussing the latest "intimidation tactic" President Donald Trump is trying to use against him.

Lemon discussed Trump's response to a protest he attended at a church in St. Paul on Sunday morning during an interview on the IHIP News podcast. Lemon was one of dozens of protesters who entered Cities Church in St. Paul church, whose pastor is allegedly the local Immigration and Customs Enforcement field officer, and shouted "ICE out!"

Bishop William Barber vowed to "overcome" the Trump administration in his Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in New York City.

During his MLK Day speech on Monday, Barber tied the fight against Trump to the song "We Shall Overcome."

Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers reportedly grabbed a U.S. citizen while he was showering and forced him outside into the freezing cold in just his underwear.

In a Sunday Facebook post, Louansee Moua claimed that ICE broke down the door of her brother-in-law Saly's Minneapolis apartment.

Former Florida prosecutor Dave Aronson expressed disgust Monday at Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s fierce refusal on Fox News to investigate ICE agent Jonathan Ross for shooting and killing unarmed 37-year-old Minnesota mom Renee Nicole Good — and warned it will backfire on the Trump administration.

Speaking with MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire, Aronson said Blanche’s words and the stance the Department of Justice is taking by ignoring the shooter and instead investigating the victim, her family, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Gov. Tim Walz will open the door to a federal judge intervening.

Department of Justice senior adviser Alina Habba insisted that federal prosecutors would "come down hard" on Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) after he danced with a Somali flag, allegedly creating hostility against Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

During a Monday interview on Fox News, host Brian Kilmeade noted that Attorney General Pam Bondi had vowed to investigate Frey and Gov. Tim Walz (D).

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten was left floored Monday after new polling revealed that voters have “completely flipped” on Trump’s immigration policy, formally among his best-performing acts.

“These numbers have just completely flipped – this was such a strength for the president, the net approval rating on [the] Trump administration's program to deport immigrants who are in the country illegally, it was plus 18 points at the beginning of his presidency,” Enten said. “That is very, very positive, it was one of the most popular things in the Trump administration's agenda.”

Conservative commentator Ike Wingate took to Newsmax Monday to complain about Saturday Night Live’s latest dig at President Donald Trump, which saw the comedy show ridicule the president for accepting a Nobel Peace Prize awarded to someone else.

“I hope everyone had a nice holiday and got what they wanted for Christmas,” said comedian James Austin-Johnson in his depiction of Trump in SNL’s cold open Saturday, its first episode of the year. “I got what I wanted, my very own 'someone else's' Nobel prize!”

Donald Trump’s decision to endorse a Republican candidate to run against Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) has resulted in the president facing off with Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).

On Saturday night, seemingly out of nowhere, Trump threw his support behind Rep. Julia Letlow (R-LA) to go after Cassidy’s seat, despite the fact she had not entered the race.
