Whoopi Goldberg on "The View" mocked "crook" Donald Trump after claims by former top Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway the largely white crowd at a Black church attending Saturday's rally was actually "8000 people at a Black church," which appeared to be disproven by video footage.

This is what Kellyanne Conway says was a turnout of 8,000 for Trump’s event at a Black church. Not even close to 8,000, and not many Black folks. MAGA isn’t a political movement — it’s a con game. https://t.co/y74xvKYUY3

"80% of Detroiters are Black. This crowd was bussed into a city they don’t know to cheer for a felon they don’t know how to live without," observed former longtime journalist Ron Fournier, a Detroit native, in response to video showing an apparently mostly white crowd of several hundred inside Detroit's 180 Church.

Conservative podcaster and convicted criminal Steve Bannon received a call from presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, a convicted felon, while he was live on air.

During his Monday War Room broadcast, Bannon interrupted an interview with Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) to take a call.

According to Republican Party strategist Scott Jennings, for Donald Trump to be successful in his debate with Joe Biden on June 27, he needs to rein himself in, "stay over the target" — and let the president talk.

Sitting on a panel with Democratic strategist David Axelrod and CNN's John Berman, Jennings stated Trump's worst enemy too often is himself and he should let Biden take the lead — and possibly expose himself to new concerns about his age.

A CNN panel on Monday contended that former President Donald Trump will only accept a vice presidential nominee who has absolutely no will of their own and who will allow themselves to be humiliated on the former president's behalf.

In discussing Trump's potential VP pick, ex-George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum made the case that Sen. J.D. Vance and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are too potentially independent minded to be the nominee.

Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum made the case on Monday that former President Donald Trump will blow what should be a very winnable election to President Joe Biden.

Appearing on CNN, Frum argued that Trump's narcissism is simply too great to allow the 2024 election to be a referendum in the incumbent, President Joe Biden.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr came under harsh criticism on Monday morning after a former high-ranking Donald Trump White House aide claimed over the weekend that the ex-president wanted to execute disloyal staffers.

In the new interview, former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin stated the former president was furious about leakers in his administration and insisted they should be put to death.

As the Midwestern and Eastern U.S. braced for what could be the longest heatwave in decades for some locations, a wildfire near Los Angeles forced more than 1,000 people to evacuate over Father's Day weekend.

The climate crisis caused primarily by the burning of fossil fuels is making both heatwaves and wildfires more frequent and extreme, and politicians and environmental advocates pointed out the role that state and national policy can play in fueling extreme weather.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski cast doubt on U.S. Supreme Court justice Samuel Alito's explanations for flags associated with right-wing extremism flown at his properties.

The conservative justice blamed his wife for an upside-down American flag displayed outside their Virginia home between the Jan. 6 insurrection and Inauguration Day and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag associated with Christian nationalism that was flown at their New Jersey vacation home, but the "Morning Joe" co-host didn't trust his explanation.

The co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" kicked off Monday morning by pouncing on Donald Trump screwing up the name of the White House doctor who administered the cognitive tests he has continued to claim he "aced."

During a speech in Michigan on Saturday night, the former president was attempting to make a point about President Joe Biden's cognitive decline when he brought up his own tests and called former White House doctor Ronny Jackson —now a member of the House — "Ronny Johnson."

According to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, the Trump campaign has its work cut out for it convincing the voters their candidate isn't in decline.

"Who's Ronnie Johnson?" Scarborough asked sarcastically before joking, "Person, man, woman, horse, Ronny Johnson."

He then segued to the Trump campaign passing around "cheap fake" clips of Biden that imply the current president has dementia before stating, "I'm new at this politics thing, but I'm guessing if you're going to make fun of your opponent for being cognitively disconnected from facts and figures, it's probably good for you to not be disconnected cognitively from facts and figures as Donald Trump was this weekend."

After jokingly getting Scarborough's name wrong multiple times, MSNBC contributor John Heilemann quipped, "Glass houses, man. You don't want to be throwing stones. People live in glass houses and shouldn't be throwing stones, that's all I'll say. "

"You know, the thing is too, it's getting really more obvious, that they have, the Trump campaign understands they have a serious problem with Donald Trump on facts, on issues, on you name it," Scarborough replied. "Because they have to keep engaging in cheap fakes to make Joe Biden look bad; they've done it this weekend, the past several weeks."

"I mean, they're grasping in many different ways," co-host Mike Brzezinski contributed. "But I think that's Trump being Trump, getting names wrong and getting information wrong and I don't think he cares."

Former President Donald Trump over the weekend had a roundtable discussion at a predominantly Black church in Detroit that raised eyebrows because photos showed that white people made up the vast majority of people in the audience.

This drew the attention of former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum, who told CNN on Monday that the stunt revealed a very soft underbelly in polls showing increasing Black support for Trump.

MyPillow CEO and election-denier Mike Lindell told conservatives this weekend he was going to deputize them as part of "God's plan" for former President Donald Trump's Election Day victory.

Lindell addressed Trump supporters at the Turning Point USA People's Convention in Detroit on Sunday, when he delivered a plan for the former president and presumptive Republican nominee.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) revealed over the weekend that boat parades were her plan to put presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump over the top.

During an interview on Saturday, Real America's Voice host and convicted criminal Steve Bannon asked Greene what people in her Georgia district could do to help Trump in 2024.
