CNN's Harry Enten presented new polling data Monday that Republican candidates might not want to see.

President Donald Trump was re-elected to a second term by promising to reduce the cost of living on day one — but polling has consistently shown that Americans have soured on his economic policies. Data expert Enten told "CNN News Central" the numbers are now gouging a deep wedge into GOP support.

President Donald Trump told a historically inaccurate anecdote about paperclips to justify his decision to replace airport security personnel with immigration agents.

The 79-year-old president spoke to reporters Monday morning before boarding Air Force One to travel from Palm Beach, Florida, to Memphis, Tennessee, and he claimed credit for sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents into airports during the ongoing shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

Fox News cut off President Donald Trump's remarks early after he ranted about the dead wife of former intelligence official Joe Kent, who quit over a disagreement about the war in Iran.

During a Monday press gaggle, Trump was asked if he knew that Kent was being investigated for leaking. Kent had told Tucker Carlson that he did not believe Iran posed an imminent threat.

President Donald Trump shot down a reporter’s question Monday when asked about the recent deployment of more than 2,000 U.S. Marines out of San Diego, California.

“It's been reported that there were Marines that left California, left San Diego last week,” a reporter asked Trump in Washington, D.C., just ahead of his trip to Memphis, Tennessee. “Why are they headed there now?”

A congenial interview with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) grew tense Monday morning when MS NOW host Joe Scarborough became increasingly impatient with the Senate Minority leader — and snapped at him with “you don’t understand me.”

Schumer, who has been the subject of stories that some Democrats want him to step away from his leadership position, was asked about Donald Trump’s decision to back off on some of the attacks on Iran. That led to the “Morning Joe” co-host lecturing his guest on the public’s perception of the unprovoked war.

Iranian officials reportedly contradicted President Donald Trump after he claimed that he had fruitful talks with the regime to postpone his 48-hour deadline on bombing power plants.

“VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST," Trump wrote on a Monday Truth Social post. "I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD."

While President Donald Trump cited “productive conversations” with Iranian officials as reason for his sudden reversal Monday in his administration’s war against Iran, new reporting appeared to directly contradict those claims, prompting critics to argue the announcement was an attempt to “save face” after effectively folding under pressure from Tehran.

“Iran called his bluff on the Strait and he folded,” noted journalist and professor Adam Cochran in a social media post on X Monday.

Donald Trump put ICE agents being deployed to the nation’s airports in an awkward position on Monday morning by suggesting they should not wear masks when performing duties normally manned by TSA agents.

The Department of Homeland Security has been adamant about allowing the heavily-armed agents to hide their identities behind masks, explaining that they are at risk of being doxxed and harassed as they detain people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally.

As chaos continues at airports across the nation amid the ongoing partial government shutdown, multiple insiders revealed that President Donald Trump had been presented with a plan to fully fund the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and pay airport employees — but rejected it out of hand, Punchbowl News reported Monday.

The partial government shutdown began last month after Democratic lawmakers refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without major reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the immigration enforcement agency under DHS that has carried out violent operations across the nation in recent months.

Some Republicans are worried President Donald Trump is holding Easter as leverage over Republican lawmakers to maintain funding for Stephen Miller's immigration crackdown.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) approached Trump on Sunday with an offer to end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown at the urging of other GOP senators and even some White House aides, but Punchbowl News reported that pitch didn't go over well.

More than a few of Donald Trump’s supporters were displeased early Monday morning after the president called off imminent attacks on Iran’s power plants as discussions took place aimed at ending the war.

In an all-caps Truth Social announcement, that was reposted moments later to fix multiple typos, the president declared, in part, “I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS.”
