Author reveals why Maduro's dancing was so devastating for Trump: 'Pierces him directly'

A high-profile author who has written about President Donald Trump for decades revealed on Tuesday why Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro's dance moves were so devastating for the president's psyche.

President Donald Trump's decision to arrest a foreign leader in a middle-of-the-night operation is as close to piracy as any president has gone, according to one analyst.

'Devastating for Trump': Lawmaker says Jim Jordan mistakenly gave Jack Smith secret weapon

Republicans tried their best to bury former special counsel Jack Smith's testimony against President Donald Trump — but House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) accidentally gave Smith the perfect format to speak openly and incriminatingly against Trump, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday.

This comes amid the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was the basis of one of Smith's criminal cases against Trump until the president was re-elected and ensured the case would end.
