Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb didn’t hold back Thursday night as he ripped into not only President Donald Trump – but also his press secretary – in a stinging CNN interview.

Cobb, who once defended Trump during the Mueller investigation, took aim at the president’s defense of his sweeping tariff order in the wake of conflicting court rulings.

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel just pilloried both President Donald Trump and conspiracy theorists in a satirical YouTube video entitled: "The Rabbit Hole with Jimmy Kimmel: Is Trump a Time Traveler?"

Assuming the persona of a conspiratorial YouTube host (even telling viewers "never trust anything you hear, unless you hear it from me") Kimmel openly wondered if Trump was hundreds of years old. He pointed to "a lot of compelling evidence" that suggests Trump "just doesn't seem like a man who fits into our modern times."

At the top of her Thursday show, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace showed the clip of President Donald Trump snapping at a reporter who asked him about the new "TACO trade" nickname he's earned.

Financial Times commentator Robert Armstrong invented the joke in his newsletter. TACO stands for "Trump always chickens out," and refers largely to the trade war.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro snapped at a reporter for asking what he said was a "biased question" about President Donald Trump's tariff policies.

After an appeals court temporarily stayed a lower court's ruling that halted Trump's ability to impose emergency tariffs, Navarro spoke to reporters in a gaggle outside the White House on Thursday.

White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt why President Donald Trump did not ask Republicans in control of Congress to "make a new law" after a panel of judges struck down his ability to impose emergency tariffs.

"So many of the President's plans right now are being blocked by courts," Doocy noted during Thursday's White House briefing. "Does the President wish he would have just become a judge instead?"

University of Michigan Law School Professor Leah Litman spoke to Mehdi Hasan on Thursday about her new book, which details the way that conservatives on the Supreme Court have "embraced" "unabashed lawlessness."

The book, Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, uses a lot of pop culture references to make complex legal matters more straightforward for non-lawyers.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino complained that he "gave up everything" — including his wife — to work for President Donald Trump.

During a Thursday appearance on Fox & Friends, Bongino became emotional as he talked about the conditions of his job.

Joyce White Vance, former federal prosecutor and legal analyst at the Brookings Institution, noted on Thursday that there are no checks on presidential power for selling pardons.

President Donald Trump pardoned a list of people over the last month, and many of those chosen are turning heads. The one most discussed is reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley. However, another pardon, given to Paul Walczak, is also raising alarm. Legal experts are questioning whether it is a possible bribery case.

CNBC White House correspondent Megan Cassella reacted after President Donald Trump accused her of asking a "nasty question" because she noted that Wall Street analysts said he "chickens out" on tariffs.

The question arose during a White House event on Wednesday, where Cassella said traders mocked Trump with the acronym TACO, meaning "Trump always chickens out."

President Donald Trump's trade wars have injected uncertainty into the U.S. economy, forcing business owners to stock up on supplies in hope they can outlast costly tariffs, and one business owner startled a CNN host with a blunt response to how she's dealing with the stress.

The president and other administration officials say the tariffs are meant to encourage domestic manufacturing, but Virginia bridal shop owner Christine Greenberg told "CNN News Central" host Sara Sidner that plan was impractical no matter how laudable the intentions might be.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Thursday morning, Jennifer Palmieri focused on the re-emergence of Bruce Springsteen as a leader of a new "resistance" against Donald Trump that should be a model for critics of the president.

Speaking with the co-hosts of "Morning Joe," the former White House Director of Communications explained that the popular singer has made it clear that if you stand for anything, "You have to pick sides" and stick to it.

Palmieri's appearance was based on her column at The Bulwark where she noted that after Trump railed at the songwriter to "KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT" in a Truth Social post, Springsteen refused to back down.

On MSNBC she stated she recently saw him in concert, and "His critique of him [Trump] was particularly like, really hit home because it's presented as a patriotic defense of America, right? Bruce talks about in the America I love this is happening and I think that's partly why it struck a chord with the American people. "

"But what really moved me was when he said at the end of that litany of Trump being corrupt, incompetent and treasonous, is we will survive this, right?" she continued. "The way that Trump fails democracy, even as you acknowledge the way that our system of checks and balances has not held him accountable, to say, to affirm that America will survive, this is really buying into the exceptional nature of America."

A federal court dealt a "stunning defeat" to president Donald Trump and his tariff agenda, reported CNN's Alayna Treene.

A three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade slapped down the president's global tariffs and ruled in favor of a permanent injunction against his trade war against Canada, China, Mexico and other trade partners, and the issue could eventually wind up before the Supreme Court.
