Joe Biden

One of Donald Trump's biographers, Bloomberg editorial editor Tim O'Brien, explained that there is a noticeable difference in the ex-president since he last ran for office.

Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, host Alex Witt questioned the "gaffes" Trump keeps making on the campaign trail.

The New York Times has been criticized over the past several months for its constant coverage of President Joe Biden and his age without giving Donald Trump the same treatment despite what other reports categorize as mental decline.

But over the weekend, it got considerably worse when the Times did a profile on Trump speaking so favorably of him that it even touted him for being "tan" and filled with youth.

Just hours before pop singer Taylor Swift will be attending the Super Bowl to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play for the Kansas City Chiefs, Donald Trump lashed out at her and called her "disloyal."

Swift, who has become a bête noire for conservatives over fears she may endorse President Joe Biden — and because they occasionally have to see her briefly during Chiefs' games — has apparently gotten deep inside the former president's head too which likely led to the Truth Social attack.

According to the former president, he had a major hand in making her phenomenally rich.

"I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other Musical Artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will," he wrote.

"There’s no way she could endorse Crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt President in the History of our Country, and be disloyal to the man who made her so much money. Besides that, I like her boyfriend, Travis, even though he may be a Liberal, and probably can’t stand me!" he added.

A right-wing pundit insisted there was a chance that Taylor Swift could perform at Donald Trump's inauguration if he is re-elected as president.

Turning Point USA ambassador Debra Lea made the suggestion during a Sunday discussion about Swift on Newsmax.

During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Joe Biden's re-election campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu cut off host Kristin Welker when she tried to equate Joe Biden with Donald Trump as threats to the nation's security.

Asked on to talk about the report from special counsel Robert Hur about government documents Biden handed back to the government after Trump's Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI.

"Just to be very clear, the report didn't say he [Biden] wasn't engaged in any wrongdoing," the Meet the Press host stated. "In fact, it was quite firm in the fact that he mishandled classified documents, he just wasn't indicted and criminally charged. But let me follow up with you --."

"But Kristen, wait. No, no, no, no no. You can't — I'm not going to accept that premise," Landrieu interrupted. "In an investigation, a special counsel determines based on the facts and the law about whether somebody engaged in criminal wrongdoing and he found out that the president did. As a matter of fact, he's the only special counsel that's been engaged in this kind of activity that had to say that he could not indict somebody, and that is a fact and so that's the big takeaway from this report from a legal perspective."

"From a legal perspective, that is absolutely right," Welker replied. "He said he was not going to indict."

"Because he didn't have the law and the facts to do it," her guest added.

"Well, right, but he did say that classified documents were mishandled and he said that national security could have been jeopardized, but let me ask you this --," she continued.

"But, Kristen, he didn't say national security — no ma'am, I'm sorry — he didn't say national security was compromised and you just heard from the secretary of national security —," Landrieu protested.

"He said it could have been," the NBC host interrupted.

"But it was not, and the facts and the law suggested that the president was not engaged in criminal activity," he replied before adding, "To be distinguished between the former president who right now has 91 felony counts pending against him in four different cases. So let's just keep the facts right and let's not make false comparisons between the two which people, unfortunately, do a lot of these days."

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley seemed to forget the date of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, moments after calling for mental fitness tests for presidential candidates.

During a Sunday interview on CBS, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan noted that Haley was pushing the cognitive tests.

Asked about Donald Trump's attack on former South Carolina Nikki Haley's husband during a campaign rally on Saturday, Republican Party campaign strategist Scott Jennings spewed a string of obscenities on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.

On Saturday Trump spoke of Major Mark Haley, stating: "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."

With host Tapper noting that Haley's husband is serving a one-year tour of duty in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard, Jennings jumped right into the fray.

"Haley is not with his wife because he is serving his country in Africa, where they are fighting terrorism," Tapper prompted his guest.

"He's an a**hole," Jennings shot back.

"You're talking about Trump, to be clear?" the CNN host interjected.

"It will not be the first time he's been an a**hole or the last time he'll be an a**hole, that's what it is," Jennings exclaimed.

"And some people like it people will slough it off. This is a tough political campaign. The man is serving the United States in uniform overseas and it's a below-the-belt shot, against someone who is not going to beat him for the nomination."

"Joe Biden is doing everything he can to hand this election to Donald Trump and his response is to go after a guy that is serving America, and saying, I would encourage Russia to invade our allies. The political ineptitude is alone enough to be upset about."

Fox News host Shannon Bream confronted Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) about Donald Trump's "brainwashing" of the Republican Party.

During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Bream pointed to a recent Politico report about Trump's power to kill border legislation.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised President Joe Biden's mental acuity after special counsel Robert Hur questioned it.

During an interview on ABC's This Week program, host Jonathan Karl noted that Hur had described Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory.

Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur's report summarizing the classified documents investigation into President Joe Biden is getting intense scrutiny from both Democrats and Republicans.

Hur's report, which numbered nearly 400 pages, found Biden was not criminally culpable and didn't recommend the filing of any charges. However, the special counsel — who previously served as a US Attorney for the District of Maryland in former President Donald Trump's DOJ — still made sweeping statements about Biden's mental faculties that are currently being exploited by the president's Republican detractors.

According to Slate legal analysts Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern, one of the least commented-upon aspects of Thursday's Supreme Court hearing on Donald Trump's eligibility to stay on the ballot based upon the 14th Amendment was Justice Samuel Alito's veiled threat aimed at attorney Jason Murray representing the state of Colorado.

During their "Amicus" podcast, Lithwick admitted that some of Alito's comments about a ruling against Trump would lead to "frivolous " lawsuits struck her as "mob-like" as in, "nice democracy you got, it’d be a shame if something happened to it."
