'You really think he's insane?' Senator loses it when pressed by Anderson Cooper on Trump

Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) was beside himself in an interview on CNN about President Donald Trump's latest threats to annex Greenland, calling the president a "madman" who is divorced from reality and needs to be treated as such.

"This is a man, again, that only cares about himself," Gallego told Anderson Cooper. "First, he doesn't like commitment to other countries that are based on alliances, based on trust, because this man has no trust in anybody else, and he would rather just break whatever he can to get what he wants. And if we pay in the process, we as Americans, he doesn't care, right? This is the danger. Now he's a problem. Let's be clear. The reason he's there is because we have cowardly republicans in the Senate, in the House that are not standing up to this man."

Expert taken aback by court's 'staggering new rejection' of hand-picked Trump prosecutor

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.

Ex-MAGA official tears into Trump's most 'mentally ill, deranged' fixation to date

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.

'Who does it benefit?' Expert reveals who Trump is really helping with Greenland fantasy

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?"
