A legal expert believes that a Trump ally's dramatic escape from prosecution abroad offers a glimpse of the president's own exit strategy.

Jamie Rowen, an international law expert and professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, warned on a Saturday episode of All Rise News that President Donald Trump and his strongman allies appear to be laying plans to flee to friendly dictatorships if they lose power and face prosecution at home.

"You can imagine that if he loses an election that he thinks was rigged, even if it very clearly wasn't, and he loses by a sizable margin...that he too might face some type of criminal investigation for all of the crimes that he is currently committing," Rowen told journalist Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News....

U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles on Saturday tossed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on a birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein — a decisive blow to the president’s case against the paper.

“This Order addresses President Donald J. Trump’s second attempt to plead that Defendants… acted with actual malice when they published an article in the Wall Street Journal linking him to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,” Gayles wrote in his ruling. “As with his first attempt, he has failed.”

Because the dismissal was with prejudice, Trump cannot refile the claims. Gayles wrote that because this was Trump’s second attempt to plead his case, dismissal with prejudice was appropriate....

President Donald Trump sparked a wave of outrage with a new social media image many read as a blunt warning to a U.S. ally.

On Saturday, Trump shared an image on Truth Social showing Greenland transformed into a sprawling American air base, the island's entire surface paved over with runways, hangars and rows of military jets. A massive U.S. flag flies over the scene, with "WELCOME TO GREENLAND" splashed across the bottom in bold block letters.

The image landed as Trump continues to push for American control of Greenland, a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, despite repeated objections from leaders in Nuuk and Copenhagen....

Experts who got their first look at the Trump administration's list of supposed noncitizen voters found a major problem with it.

Lawyers for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), an immigrant advocacy group, told the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in a supplemental brief filed Saturday that citizens among the group's members and clients turned up on the Department of Homeland Security's list of 20,930 names flagged as ineligible to vote in California. The group and co-plaintiff Pedro Trujillo are suing DHS, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Attorney General Todd Blanche.

The filing relies on a report from Mathew Barreto, who holds a Ph.D., and data scientist Michael Rios. The pair analyzed the data file the government handed over under a court order issued Friday....

President Donald Trump has spent weeks critiquing other people's bodies on the campaign trail, but one gust of wind just turned the tables on him.

As Trump boarded Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews for a midterm rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, a blast of wind flipped up the hair on the back of his head and laid bare the thinning patch he has publicly lamented, The Daily Beast reported Saturday. Reuters photographer Evan Vucci captured the moment.

The images showed a sharp contrast between the pink skin of Trump's scalp and the orange tone of his face and neck. Lighter strands also peeked out from under a darker top layer, a mix The Daily Beast likened to a melting carton of Neapolitan ice cream....

There is a peculiar affliction spreading throughout Liberal America as Tuesday approaches. Call it Anticipatory Catastrophe Syndrome. It’s the conviction that even if voters deliver the massive electoral rebuke all the polls and pundits are predicting, Donald Trump will somehow find a way to transform defeat into victory, democracy into dictatorship and Election Night into a hostage crisis.

To which I would respond: must we always rehearse the worst possible ending before the opening credits have even had a chance to scroll past?

Of course, vigilance is always warranted. So is healthy skepticism. And anyone who thinks the president will somehow respond graciously (cue laugh track) to political defeat has apparently been living without electricity since 2015....

CNN's John Berman said Friday that he finds the White House’s sudden campaign cancellations “very, very odd,” just days before the midterm elections.

President Donald Trump canceled planned rallies for Sunday in Salina, Kansas, on Saturday and Dubuque, Iowa – where both states have competitive Senate races – and Vice President JD Vance also canceled a trip to Minnesota, another state with a competitive Senate race, where he was set to speak about fraud.

“Why is the White House pulling back from campaign trips just as we’re getting closer to Election Day?” Berman asked....

A protester interrupted President Donald Trump's Ohio rally Wednesday with an accusation that drew a chorus of boos before leaving with a crude gesture.

Trump was in the middle of a riff about Sen. Jon Husted's backside at the rally in Chillicothe when a man in the crowd yelled, "Trump went on Epstein's plane!" Trump supporters drowned him out with boos, and the protester flipped them the middle finger as he was hauled out. Moments later, a second protester interrupted Trump and held two middle fingers up at him while she was dragged away.

Trump turned his attention to the first heckler. "He mentioned Epstein," Trump said. "I threw Epstein out of a club like 20 years ago because I thought he was a whack job." He went on to claim that Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, "was a Democrat" and insisted, "I was totally exonerated." Trump offered no evidence that he ever threw Epstein out of his club....

President Donald Trump was thrice interrupted by protesters during his midterm rally in Florida, which visibly frustrated him.

The Daytona Beach stop is Trump's second Florida rally in a week, part of a red-state blitz in the final days before the midterms, CNN reported. Early in the speech, three different protesters interrupted his remarks, with each coming in short order.

When the third protester sounded off, Trump stopped mid-sentence while touting midterm enthusiasm, pointed and shouted, "Shut up! Shut up, dope!"...
