President Donald Trump is losing the political battle over his trade war with Canada, according to CNN's Harry Enten.

Enten said Trump has seen a dramatic collapse in trust on tariffs – which he regularly promised to impose – since the 2024 campaign, when voters trusted him over Kamala Harris on tariffs by 22 points. Today, Enten found, his net approval on tariffs has cratered to 30 points underwater — a "52-point switcheroo" among independents alone, who now disapprove of his tariff policy by 60 points.

Greg Bovino, the former Border Patrol commander who led President Donald Trump's mass deportation raids, accused senior administration officials of pulling his security detail because "they want me dead."

Bovino made the accusation in an interview with Tucker Carlson released Wednesday. He retired at the end of March, months after being removed as commander-at-large.

President Donald Trump's relationship with his close personal aide Natalie Harp has become a reliable laugh line on the Democratic campaign trail.

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, spent much of his speech Wednesday at a town hall in Farmington Hills riffing on the 80-year-old Trump, who has called him a "communist" and said he is "full of s---," but he brought down the house with a reference to Trump's 35-year-old executive assistant, reported The Daily Beast.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth pushed out the Army chief of staff back in the spring, reportedly because he refused to drop an investigation into a helicopter flyby at Kid Rock's house, and a former staffer to President Donald Trump said the episode raised alarming questions.

The Pentagon chief abruptly fired Gen. Randy George in April after the four-star general was told by his own second-in-command, Gen. Chris LaNeve, that Hegseth wanted the probe ended, and former White House communications director Mike Dubke said the rock star's proximity was irrelevant.

President Donald Trump intends to spend his $400 million war chest promoting himself in the midterm elections, even though he's not on the ballot, but a former White House staffer questioned the wisdom of that strategy.

The 80-year-old president wants television ads featuring his own statements to bolster GOP congressional candidates, believing that he can save the party's congressional majority, but CNN's Audie Cornish showed a video clip of a lifelong Republican explaining why he's leaning toward Democrats this cycle.

MS NOW's Jen Psaki was horrified on Wednesday, following reports that the 19-year-old Navy sailor driven to jump from the U.S.S. Lincoln after months of squalid conditions and a lack of mental health treatment is now being punished.

Reports have been coming in for weeks, Psaki said, of "the outrageous conditions aboard that carrier, the exhaustion, the low morale, the lack of functioning toilets, laundry, hot water, as well as the shortage of food," and MS NOW itself spoke to the sailor's wife, who "only learned about what she described as a suicide attempt after one of her husband's friends on the ship messaged her."

Right-wing Fox News commentator Laura Ingraham vented her frustration on Wednesday evening at the Republican consultant class for, in her view, sitting on their hands and doing nothing at a moment when it should be all hands on deck to save Republican majorities in Congress.

In her view, Republicans need to put aside the typical strategy of waiting until September to go live with their ads, and be out there right now, screaming the message from the rooftops that Democrats are a grave threat to each and every one of the country's freedoms.

CNN's Erin Burnett was floored on Wednesday's broadcast of "OutFront" by video of a catastrophic flash flood in Nepal that has left at least 150 people dead and more than 47 Americans missing.

Reports indicate that the flooding was caused by a half-mile-wide chunk of a glacier breaking off. CCTV captured footage of a wall of black, muddy water destroying buildings and cars as it tore through a town. Officials expect that toll to rise in the coming days, Burnett reported.
