President Donald Trump was jeered for a "preposterous" claim about lowering prescription drug prices.

The president sent letters last week to the heads of 17 major pharmaceutical companies demanding they cut drug prices to levels paid by other countries, but he repeated a claim Sunday night to reporters that he would reduce the cost for prescription medications by a whopping 1,500 percent – which many social media users pointed out was absurd.

A Democratic lawmaker reacted to President Donald Trump's Sunday night news conference from a helicopter tarmac.

The president spoke to reporters as a Marine One chopper stood by, and he was asked to comment on a variety of topics, including his firing of Erika McEntarfer, the Bureau of Labor Statistics chief who oversaw a July jobs report that suggested a slowdown in the economy, and Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) told CNN that Trump risked making the economy even worse.

President Donald Trump touted the "show business" accomplishments of the former Fox News host he intends to swear in as the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

The Senate voted 50-45 along party lines to confirm conservative broadcaster and Trump loyalist Jeanine Pirro to lead the U.S. attorney's office in the nation's capital, and the president told reporters alongside a waiting Marine One helicopter that he could hardly wait to swear her in.

Vice President JD Vance stands to benefit tremendously from President Donald Trump's botched response to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, and he might have cause for concern.

The vice president was an odd choice as Trump's running mate from the start, and a Trump critic from way back, and USA Today columnist Rex Huppke said there was no one who had more to gain by the president's inability to move past questions surrounding his longtime relationship with the disgraced financier.

Dozens of Democratic legislators fled Texas to deny Republicans a necessary quorum to implement an unusual redistricting map.

Roughly 30 Democrats will likely stay for a week in a plan worked out with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, who met with them late last month and tasked his staff with providing logistical support for their out-of-state stay, after the state's Republicans released a proposed congressional map that would help them pick up five seats in next year's elections, reported NBC News.

President Donald Trump privately admitted that his ear injury from an assassination attempt was "not too bad" while wearing an oversized bandage at the Republican National Convention (RNC) last year.

Fox News host Howard Kurtz argued that President Donald Trump was "airbrushing history" after he reportedly pressured a Smithsonian museum into removing references to his two impeachments.

"The Washington Post reports that the National Museum of American History, part of the Smithsonian, has removed references to President Trump's two impeachments," Kurtz noted on Sunday. "This was done under pressure from the White House, the paper says, leaving just Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton."

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chief Brendan Carr suggested that late-night host Stephen Colbert was fired as "a consequence that comes from" President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump's head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) got snippy with CNN's Kasie Hunt on Sunday morning when she tried to get a clarification from him.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) called President Donald Trump a "petulant child" after he fired Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) administrator Erika McEntarfer over a poor jobs report.

"When he gets news he doesn't like, he needs someone to blame because he won't take the responsibility himself," Christie said during a Sunday panel discussion on ABC. "And this is the action of a petulant child. Like, you give me bad news, I fire the messenger."

In a report on Republican lawmakers maneuvering behind the scenes to be the person who replaces Donald Trump as the 2028 presidential candidate –– providing the president agrees to step aside gracefully –– a CNN reporter specializing in campaign coverage was surprised to find the Vice President J.D. Vance is not a prohibitive favorite.

In an interview with CNN's Zachary B. Wolf, correspondent Eric Bradner said Vance "is obviously positioned as Trump’s understudy," but that he also not a lock to be the face of the part three and half years from now.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett suggested that firing Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) chief Erika McEntarfer over a poor jobs report would lead to future data that was not "propaganda."

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Shannon Bream noted that former BLS commissioners had condemned Trump for firing McEntarfer.
