House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) defended President Donald Trump for throwing a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-A-Lago as his administration was expected to suspend supplemental food aid for Americans.

During a press conference on Tuesday, a reporter asked Johnson about the "split-screen" optics of Trump's lavish party, which occurred as recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP or food stamps, wondered how they would feed themselves.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) played dumb after President Donald Trump stated Sunday night that he did not know that he had pardoned a crypto billionaire.

During a press conference on Monday, CNN's Manu Raju noted that Trump claimed to "know nothing" about Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, even though the president had pardoned him after his company boosted the Trump family's crypto business.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett complained after U.S District Judge John McConnell ruled that the Trump administration could legally use a contingency fund to pay Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits while the federal government was facing a shutdown.

In Friday's ruling, just one day before the food benefits were set to lapse, McConnell ordered the Department of Agriculture to distribute money owed to recipients "as soon as possible."

MAGA influencer Katie Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, suggested that President Donald Trump's government could deport progressive pundit Cenk Uygur after she became frustrated with him during a television debate.

On Wednesday's episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, host Morgan noted that Israel had recently responded to the death of an IDF soldier after Palestinians allegedly violated a ceasefire agreement.

MAGA Republicans have urgently called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to take action against New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) before he can be elected.

In a letter to Bondi on Tuesday, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) insisted that Mamdani "should be subject to denaturalization proceedings," alleging that the candidate had issued "public praise for individuals convicted of providing material support to Hamas."

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) admitted that President Donald Trump could not run again in 2028 after the commander-in-chief refused to rule out a third term.

During a press conference on Tuesday, Johnson was asked if he was "comfortable" with Trump seeking another term even though the U.S. Constitution limits presidents to two terms.

Newsmax legal analyst Andrew Napolitano suggested President Donald Trump was not telling the truth when he claimed that a billionaire's $130 million donation could be used to pay military troops during the government shutdown.

Speaking on Monday, Napolitano reacted to the $130 donation by Timothy Mellon, which Trump promised would "make sure that the military got paid."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that a White House ballroom was President Donald Trump's "main priority" despite an ongoing government shutdown.

During Thursday's White House briefing, CBS correspondent Weijia Jiang asked Leavitt if the administration's position was that "the president tears down anything he wants without oversight." The question came hours after crews completed the unexpected demolition of the White House's East Wing.

Real America's Voice host Emily Finn said she did not believe the White House "looks destroyed" after President Donald Trump demolished the building's East Wing to make room for his $250 million gilded ballroom project.

"President Trump is having some renovations done at the White House," the pro-MAGA host told reporter Brian Glenn on Thursday. "Many on the left claim it's unprecedented. Earlier this week, even Hillary Clinton posted on X, saying it's not his house, it's your house, and he's destroying it."

Newsmax judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano argued that President Donald Trump's reported demand that the Justice Department pay him $230 million was a "nonstarter."

Napolitano responded to the reports after Trump confirmed on Tuesday that he was seeking a settlement from his Justice Department related to investigations into Russia's election meddling and classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
