Trump gripes as glitches derail major UN speech

Moments into Donald Trump’s address to the United Nations General Assembly, he went off script to complain about an escalator in the building that briefly went out of service as he and First Lady Melania stepped on it, and the fact that his teleprompter — something he normally criticizes others for using — was not operational

Trump faces new accusation of blurring 'line between crime and war'

Donald Trump’s decision to allow the Pentagon to target boats in international waters for complete destruction over accusations that they are involved in the drug trade is getting push-back from a surprising source.

In an op-ed for the Washington Post on Tuesday morning, Stanford Law Professor John Yoo, who rose from obscurity under President George W. Bush after he wrote in 2003 what became known as the “Torture Memos” that justified horrific abuse of detainees after the 9/11 attacks, admonished the president.

Trump will use UN address to gripe to world leaders about a snub 20 years ago: Marco Rubio

Secretary of State Marco Rubio previewed President Donald Trump's upcoming speech to the United Nations on Fox News Tuesday morning, in part by complaining that the world organization didn't take up Trump's offer decades ago to have his personal business renovate their headquarters in Manhattan.

"You can anticipate the president will point to his own history with the U.N. going back to his time here as a developer, where he actually offered to fix the U.N. building, and instead they decided to go in another direction, wasted a bunch of money, and really didn't achieve on the building's perspective, what needed to happen," Rubio told the Fox & Friends panel.

'Flattery can get you anywhere': Analyst says tech CEOs are stroking Trump's ego on visas

With President Donald Trump getting ready to put a $100,000 fee on H-1B visas, the type of work permit used by high-skilled immigrants in fields like technology, some of the key tech CEOs would be expected to have their hair on fire — but instead, at least some of them are openly singing Trump's praises.

And there might be a key strategic reason for that, CNN's Brian Stelter told anchor Erica Hill on Monday: to boost Trump's ego to the point that he will be willing to listen to them and give them a voice on the finer details of the policy.

Trump just gave Disney a pathway to revive Jimmy Kimmel: media expert

Deadline executive editor Dominic Patten said that one of the big reasons that Disney/ABC caved into demands over late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was due to comments by President Donald Trump at the memorial service for right-wing activist Charlie Kirk on Sunday.

Patten told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace that Disney was looking for a way to backtrack "almost immediately" after it suspended Kimmel because the backlash was so significant. It has only expanded over the weekend, with more than 400 artists joining the movement and some already canceling projects with Disney.
