Donald Trump is hurting his own plans, according to a judge who was just fired by the current Republican administration.

Kerry Doyle, a former judge at the DOJ executive office for immigration review, appeared on MSNBC on Sunday to discuss the Trump layoffs. She said she received notice of her termination Friday in an email.

MAGA rocker Ted Nugent proclaimed recently that "the good Blacks" had left the Democratic Party.

During his Friday Real America's Voice program, Nugent opened by announcing the show had been sponsored by Wood Rocket's air freshener in the shape of a Black middle finger.

A very blunt-talking former deputy prime minister of Canada appeared on MSNBC on Sunday morning and warned Donald Trump that his threats of tariffs will be met with equal force and more if he proceeds forward with them.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi, Chrystia Freeland, who is reportedly lining up a bid to become prime minister when federal elections roll around in the spring, aimed a considerable amount of her ire at billionaire Elon Musk who appears to have Trump's ear on every policy endeavor.

Freeland first made her point on how much the U.S. relies upon Canada as a trade partner.

"If you didn't have Canadian electricity, the lights in your building right now might not be shining," she told the MSNBC host. "And Trump Tower, you know, that famous escalator, it might not be operating because you get electricity from Canada for New York."

"A lot of your oil comes from Canada so, when people are filling their tanks up with gas, they should say, 'Thank you, Canadian friends, for providing this.' And truly, at a time when consumers don't want to pay higher prices, at a time when the United States needs more energy rather than less, it is just self-defeating and self-mutilating to be talking about putting a tax on the energy you get from us."

Turning to Musk, she told Velshi, "You know, I think Americans are the ones who invented the term: 'The customer is always right.' Well, we are your biggest customer, so watch out. If you hit us, we will hit back and our retaliation, unlike these across-the-board tariffs is going to be surgically targeted."

"We're going to design it so we do the minimum harm to ourselves and have the maximum impact in the United States and we are going to target constituencies that have particular influence in the White House,"she elaborated. "So one of the things I am proposing is a 100% tariff on Teslas, and I am inviting all the countries in the world that would be affected by these tariffs to join us. I think that would get us some attention in the Oval Office."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) defended the so-called young tech bros staffing Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by comparing them to the "greatest generation" of American soldiers who sacrificed in World War II.

During a Sunday interview, Fox News host Kevin Corke pushed Burchett to agree that DOGE was making worthwhile cuts to government.

CBS host Margaret Brennan grilled Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) about whether he thought President Donald Trump was "winning" when he flattered Russian President Vladimir Putin, who she described as a "brutal dictator."

"Vladimir Putin, it sounds like you would agree, is an accused war criminal," Brennan told Crenshaw in a Sunday interview. "He is a dictator. There is a warrant out for his arrest, as you know."

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chair Reince Priebus downplayed President Donald Trump's suggestion that anything he did was legal — including violating the U.S. Constitution — as long as he "saves the country."

Trump made the remarks during a Saturday post on Truth Social: "He who saves his Country does not violate any Law."

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy suggested Manhattan's former top federal prosecutor, Danielle Sassoon, was a "snake" with questionable morals because she resigned instead of dropping a corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams after President Donald Trump's Justice Department ordered her to.

During a "snake story" Sunday morning on Fox & Friends, co-host Lisa Boothe noted Sassoon refused to drop the charges because she was "confident" Adams had committed crimes.

According to MSNBC host Katie Phang and ex-FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann, acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove will likely be called into the courtroom of Judge Dale E. Ho of Federal District Court in Manhattan to explain his rationale for letting New York City Mayor Eric Adams walk away from corruption charges.

Former prosecutor Phang kicked off her show by first referring to Donald Trump as a "convicted felon" before introducing her guest and asking about the chaos Bove has created among SDNY prosecutors that ended up turning into a major scandal as career prosecutors resigned rather than accede to his demands.

After Pang prompted her guest with a suggestion that Judge Ho will jump into the fray, Weissmann replied that the judge had good reason to. Two reasons he subsequently added.

"I agree with you, and I think one of the reasons that that's going to happen is because as you and I know, this does not happen," Weissmann told Phang. "This is so, just so unusual to see career people resigning rather than follow an order and they do that when they believe that the order is illegal and or unethical."

"In fact, the only other time in recent history I can think of that is in Trump 1.0, when prosecutors resigned in the Roger Stone case, rather than carry out instructions that they believed were also improper," he explained. "So I think that Judge Ho is going to have a hearing, and he has every reason to do it."

"I can give you two reasons," he elaborated. "One is, as you noted, Danielle Sassoon and her colleagues say, that there's this improper quid pro quo and that has been disputed by Eric Adams' counsel, so there is a factual dispute and that gives every reason for a judge to hold a hearing. That's what judges do when there's a factual dispute and he can say to Emil Bove, 'If you think this is wrong, if you think that this is not what happened, you can come here and take the stand and put your right hand up and swear to tell the truth and I will make credibility determinations.'"

"And oh, by the way, and this is something you will appreciate as a trial lawyer, 'You know those notes that you confiscated and you didn't want anyone to see? Bring those with you I want to see what the contemporaneous notes are, that you didn't want anyone to take out of that room to see what people were saying about that meeting.'" he added with a grin.
