Real America's Voice/screen grab

GETTR CEO Jason Miller, a former adviser to Donald Trump, on Wednesday, explained why he had been detained in Brazil after attending the Conservative Political Action Conference.

During an appearance on Real America's Voice, Miller told host Steve Bannon that he had been stopped at the airport by the secret police.

"There are a couple of Federales on the other side of the security check, saying, 'Mr. Miller, will you please come with us,'" he recalled. "So myself and one other from our group was led off to this... affectionally I can refer to it as the interrogation room. It wasn't quite like the episode of Law & Order."

"They said, 'Well, we just want to ask you some questions,'" he continued. "They're Supreme Court justices effectively have the power of the FBI, the DOJ, whatever. ... So they can be judge, jury and executioner. It is so nuts."

Miller said that the officials told him that they were conducting "two secret investigations."

"First question, why are you here?" he said of the interview. "Second question is who else do you work for? I'm like, I'm the CEO of GETTR. They were, like, 'Where do you get paid from?' I'm, like, my finances are none of your business. And then they said, 'Who are your people on the ground here? We want you to list the names of everyone that's here helping you.'"

At that point, Miller said that he decided to call the American Embassy and a lawyer.

"This has witch hunt written all over it," he complained. "They put this piece of paper in front of me and say if you just sign this piece of paper saying you have nothing to say then you can leave and get on the plane. I'm, like, guys, I don't speak Portuguese. I'm not going to sign some legal document."

"I know how this works," he added. "You sign it and the next thing you know, you're in their version of Guantanamo Bay."

The former Trump adviser said that he was eventually allowed to board his plane and leave the country.

Miller has been a vocal supporter of Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro, who has said that he is willing to die to prevent being removed from power.

Political analysts and observers on Thursday chided President Donald Trump's dark screed against "sleazebags" and "losers."

Trump posted a holiday message on his Truth Social platform, where he decried how the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files have impacted his presidency, and attacked political enemies like the Democrats and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for forcing the administration to release the files. Trump also threatened that this year may be "the last Christmas" because of how he's been treated.

"Sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!"

Political analysts and observers shared their thoughts on social media.

"The walls are closing in on Donald Trump and his corrupt, criminal regime, and he’s absolutely losing his mind," Rep. Yassamin Anasari (D-AZ) posted on X. "Merry Christmas!!"

"Holy projection," Democratic analyst Adam Mockler posted on X.

"Trump, who has (sic) accused of raping young girls alongside Epstein in recently released DOJ files, is projecting again," writer Polly Singh posted on X.

"When bombing Nigeria doesn’t change the subject, might as well try whatever the hell this is supposed to be," Jeopardy champion Hemant Mehta posted on X.

"Why is @realDonaldTrump calling himself a 'Sleazebag'?" Democratic congressional candidate George Conway posted on X.

"He doesn’t sound merry," former CNN anchor Jim Acosta posted on X.

THANKS FOR SUBSCRIBING! ALL ADS REMOVED!

A legal expert said on Thursday that he was surprised by a recent Supreme Court ruling that could make it more difficult for President Donald Trump to achieve a key policy goal.

This week, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump cannot deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, arguing that he has not proven that appropriate conditions exist.

Adam Klasfeld, editor-in-chief of All Rise News, discussed the ruling with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen in a new reaction video. Klasfeld said he was surprised by the "nature" of the ruling, given that the court has made it easier for Trump to pursue other goals, such as politicizing independent agencies.

"What the Supreme Court has done has elevated the standard by which they have made it so much harder for Trump to federalize and deploy the National Guard, saying the only way that he fulfills that prong of the statute is if the regular laws of the United States cannot be fulfilled using the military," Klasfeld said. "And that's a very high standard."

"Anytime that the Supreme Court reaches this emphatic ruling against Trump, that is surprising," he added.

"And they went there on Christmas week," Klasfeld said. "They handed Trump a major defeat."

Mary Trump, the niece of President Donald Trump, revealed during a recent podcast interview that the president is driven by an "obsession" that appears to have infected the GOP.

President Trump has displayed some "completely indecent" behavior recently, according to his niece, including the mind-boggling statement he issued after director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle, were murdered in their Los Angeles home. Trump blamed Reiner's killing on "Trump Derangement Syndrome," a made-up disease Trump uses to demean his critics.

Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and author, discussed her uncle's behavior on a new episode of "The Court of History" that aired on Thursday. She argued that the president is obsessed with being indecent because that's a trick he's used for decades to get attention.

"As he is finding out, there will never be enough," she said. "There will never be enough attention. There will never be enough things named after him. There will never be enough money. There will never be enough grifts. There will never be enough to fill that black hole at the center of who he is on the one hand."

Mary Trump added that her uncle's behavior also exposes something rotten at the core of the GOP.

"He is, through his indecency and his increasingly vile behavior, showing us that there are a lot of people in this country, including every single person in his inner circle, every single elected Republican, almost to a person, that there is no line that he can cross to get them to stop supporting him," she said.

"I think it's a testament to just how far gone this Republican party is," she added.
