A self-described Trump lover lit up a MAGA network call-in show this week to call out the president.

"Matt from Las Vegas" phoned into Real America's Voice host Eric Bolling on Tuesday and cut straight into the administration's Iran war narrative, questioning why commercial ships can't pass through the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. military thoroughly destroyed Iran's Navy and Air Force.

Donald Trump is nursing a fresh grudge against his favorite networks — and he aired it Tuesday morning in front of his half-built ballroom.

Strolling out to inspect his $400 million East Wing project, the president stopped to talk to reporters and quickly turned a question about health care affordability into a bitter complaint about the media — including the conservative outlets that usually carry his every word.

President Donald Trump stepped outside the White House on Tuesday to survey the sprawling construction site where his prized ballroom is rising from the rubble of the demolished East Wing — and delivered a lengthy, freewheeling tour that touched on drone warfare, Greek architecture, and his place in history.

"This is my gift to the United States of America," Trump told reporters as he gestured at the concrete skeleton taking shape on the White House grounds. "I'm going to be able to use it very little. When it's finished, we're talking about six or seven months. But it will be used for hopefully hundreds of years by other presidents."

A Florida congressman went on Real America's Voice on Monday and unleashed a kitchen-sink attack on fellow Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) — the latest GOP lawmaker to fall in line behind President Donald Trump's all-out campaign to oust the libertarian-leaning Kentuckian in Tuesday's primary.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL), appearing with host Eric Bolling, hurled allegations ranging from ties to Iran to sexual misconduct involving an ex-girlfriend — and didn't stop there.

Jeanine Pirro was in the middle of a tough-on-crime press conference Monday when a reporter blindsided her with a question about a nearly $1.8 billion fund that could send taxpayer money to the same kind of rioters she'd spent the morning condemning.

The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia had just finished threatening to prosecute the parents of DC teens involved in violent "takeovers" — including a chair-throwing brawl that tore through a Navy Yard Chipotle Saturday night — when a reporter pivoted to the Justice Department's newly announced "Anti-Weaponization Fund."

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says the Minnesota Republican Party has shut him out of a major gubernatorial debate — and he's not staying quiet about it.

"They have a big GOP endorsement where they have this big debate, and I'm not allowed to come," Lindell told Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast. "They've shut me out because the establishment doesn't want me, Steve."

FCC Chair Brendan Carr got an unexpectedly sharp grilling from CNBC's Sara Eisen on Monday, who openly questioned the "suspicious" timing of his agency's escalating attack on Disney-owned ABC — pointing directly to President Donald Trump's recent demand that Jimmy Kimmel be fired.

Carr, who has emerged as one of the most aggressive enforcers in Trump's second term, recently called eight ABC TV station licenses in for early review, a move Disney has blasted as a transparent effort to chill protected speech.

Right-wing radio host Eric Metaxas told thousands gathered on the National Mall on Sunday that the Almighty spent two centuries waiting to deliver one Donald Trump so the president could finally build his $400 million ballroom.

"Yes, it's hard to believe that it would take two centuries for the Lord to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where it needs to stand," Metaxas said at the taxpayer-backed "Rededicate 250" prayer event. "It's extraordinary. We only had to wait 200 years."

A cloud of dread has descended upon CBS News as controversial editor-in-chief Bari Weiss prepares to overhaul "60 Minutes" when the show returns next season — with network insiders warning changes are coming that will upend the venerable Sunday night institution.

According to the Guardian, the current season concludes on Sunday, after which the iconoclastic Weiss is expected to impose her ideological imprint on a program that has operated with editorial autonomy for decades.

Tennessee state Rep. Justin J. Pearson (D) gave viewers of Fox News' sister network a lesson in the dangers of white supremacy after his state wiped out its only majority-Black congressional district with the hope of retaining Republican control of the U.S. House.

In a Friday interview on Live Now from Fox, host Christina Evans pointed out that state Speaker Cameron Sexton (R) had recently removed Pearson and every other Democrat from their committee assignments.

Hosts of ABC's "The View" called attention to President Donald Trump's decision to include disgraced Hollywood director Brett Ratner in his China delegation, even though he was named in the files on Jeffrey Epstein.

During Friday's program, co-host Joy Behar noted that Epstein was still "looming large over this administration" after survivors participated in a Capitol Hill hearing this week.

MAGA strategist Steve Bannon pushed red states to plow forward with redistricting efforts because he said that if Democrats win the House by a single vote, "they're gonna run it like they got a 50-seat majority."

During a Friday interview with GOP adviser Caroline Wren, Bannon insisted he couldn't "get excited" about Republican redistricting efforts because party leaders were leaving seats on the table. He pointed to failures to draw new district maps before the midterms in Indiana and Georgia — despite pressure from President Donald Trump.
