President Donald Trump's poll numbers might be sinking — but various assets and schemes tied to his name are on the way up in value, CNN data analyst Harry Enten told anchor Erin Burnett on Thursday evening.

Among the most prominent examples is the Trump crypto "meme coin," which was at rock bottom shortly after being introduced at the start of the year, but surged this week after Trump announced that a select group of holders of the coin will get invites to the White House.

A reporter clapped back Thursday at firebrand Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who scolded the reporter for wearing a mask during an interview in a video the congresswoman shared to social media.

Shira Stein, Washington correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle, joined CNN anchor Jake Tapper on his show "The Lead" on Thursday afternoon to discuss the dust-up earlier this month.

A longtime Republican pollster said Thursday that people who voted for Donald Trump last year are already beginning to waver in their support.

Sarah Longwell has been doing focus groups of 2024 voters of Trump, tracking how attitudes are changing and why. The one thing she said is finally starting to "set in" for those voters is "maybe Donald Trump doesn't know exactly what he's doing."

White House health adviser Calley Means suggested "demonic forces" were to blame for chronic childhood diseases.

During an interview this week on Real America's Voice, host Steve Gruber asked Means if President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could make a difference for the nation's children.

President Donald Trump deflected away questions about how intent he is to force Ukraine to surrender territory to Russia as the terms of a peace deal during a joint meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.

With Støre was Jens Stoltenberg, the country's minister of finance and the former Secretary General of the NATO alliance.

According to Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), enough has come out about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's performance so far that alarm should be raised about how he will react during an emergency.

During an appearance on MSNBC Thursday, the Democratic lawmaker was asked about new reports of Hegseth not only sharing sensitive details about military operations with his wife and lawyer, but also having the questionable Signal app installed on his Pentagon computer.

The past 24 hours have seen a back-and-forth between the U.S. and China about the ongoing trade war, and one economist said it's clear everyone at the White House is clueless, including the president.

Speaking to MSNBC on Thursday, Brian Cheung, NBC's budget and data correspondent, and University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfer discussed the de-escalation in language from the U.S. after weeks of what the Chinese called "extreme pressure."

MAGA TV host Gina Loudon worried that "money-grubbing" welfare recipients would benefit from the $5,000 incentives President Donald Trump is reportedly considering for households with new children.

During a Thursday discussion about the so-called baby bonuses, Loudon threw cold water on the idea.

Comments made by Vice President J.D. Vance on Wednesday about negotiations to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine earned him a tongue-lashing on MSNBC early Thursday morning.

With Donald Trump's administration flailing in its attempts to end the war Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been hinting the U.S. may walk away from the bargaining table unless Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agrees to a White House proposal that experts say heavily favors Russia.

Speaking in Agra, India Wednesday, Vance doubled down and came to Putin's defense which led to vehement push back from "Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Jonathan Lemire.

Towards the end of his remarks, Vance stated, "I'm going to echo something Secretary Rubio said, which is: look, we've issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and Ukrainians and it's time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process."

He then added, "We've really tried to understand things from the perspective of both the Ukrainians and the Russians. What do Ukrainians care the most about? What do the Russians care the most about? And I think that we've put together a very fair proposal."

That earned him a "What?" from Brzezinski who quickly turned to her co-host and stated, "Yeah. Tell me what you're thinking right now."

"I mean, right now, I mean even as the vice president said there, he said, 'We're trying to understand each side's perspective.' Trying to understand Russian's perspective?" the obviously incensed Lemire asked.

"We know what their perspective is: they invaded a sovereign nation," he exclaimed as Brzezinski chimed in with, "They want to seize territory and Trump wants to give it to them!"

"That's the bottom line," she added to which Lemire added, "Doesn't seem much open for interpretation."

As Donald Trump closes in on the end of his first 100 days of his second administration, his approval numbers are plummeting as the reality of his policies –– from trade to immigration –– take hold and American voters take stock.

Early Thursday morning on MSNBC, a "Morning Joe" panel addressed a new Fox News poll that showed the president underwater by 26 points when it comes to how voters think he's doing and, according to one co-host, there was even worse polling released on Wednesday.

According to MSNBC analyst and former Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) policy adviser Elise Jordan, the honeymoon is over for the now-embattled president.

"That new Fox News poll finds Trump's overall approval rating underwater, with 44 percent approving and 55 percent disapproving," co-host Mika Brzezinski prompted her panel. "The president is also underwater on the issues that really were key to his campaign: immigration, foreign policy, the economy, tariffs and inflation ––he ran on most of those."

"Based on Trump's first 100 days, voters are also less optimistic about the future," she continued. "Thirty-eight percent say they feel encouraged about the next four years, while 51 percent are discouraged. Those numbers were 45 percent and 84 percent, respectively, at the 100-day mark of Trump's first term."

Co-host Willie Geist contributed, "The Fox News poll is actually more generous than some of the others that came out yesterday. Pew has the president at a 40 percent approval rating, also historically low at this point, and importantly, on the economy, Reuters has them at 37 percent. So it turns out, at least if you take an economy that was in most ways, not always, except for inflation, was humming along and you aggressively tank it with tariffs and other actions, voters, including Republicans, don't like it very much."

"And an economy that, in January and February, before all of the tariff nonsense came on the scene was doing quite well and was enthusiastic about Trump's presidency and optimistic," Jordan interjected. "And you see how quickly the sugar high of just the first 100 days is over now that voters are actually seeing what kind of results, or lack thereof, are coming into play."

President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk have caused a mass exodus of experienced staffers at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA — just in time for what could be a brutal hurricane season, CNN's Gabe Cohen told anchor Jake Tapper on Wednesday.

"What are you learning about these cuts to FEMA?" Tapper asked him.
