Donald Trump posted to Truth Social in the middle of the night Saturday to boast about scoring a perfect 30 out of 30 on a cognitive screening test, calling it evidence of "extreme intelligence" and claiming no other president has taken such a test — and by morning, critics were lining up to explain why nearly every part of that claim was wrong.

Trump wrote that he had now taken the test four times, accumulating "120 correct answers out of 120 questions asked," and demanded to know if "the Dumocrats" were "really surprised."

As the multi-day festival organized in part by President Donald Trump designed to celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary continues to fall apart, former presidential speechwriter David Frum flagged on Sunday what he believed was behind the event’s ever-increasing list of problems.

Dubbed the Great American State Fair, the event was organized by the Trump-linked organization Freedom 250, with Trump himself being "actively involved” in the process. A live music concert was initially planned for the event but may be cancelled after “nearly all” performers backed out after learning of the event’s connections to Trump.

Donald Trump's Fed chair nominee is basically using "common core" math to deceive the president, according to an ex-insider.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the former Georgia congresswoman who lost her seat after breaking with the president, took aim Sunday at Donald Trump's own Federal Reserve chairman, accusing Kevin Warsh of manipulating inflation measurements to justify cutting interest rates and stay in the president's good graces.

During an appearance Sunday on Fox News, comedian Rob Schneider morphed himself into his character from Adam Sandler’s 1998 film “The Waterboy” to attack Democrats and endorse a GOP mayoral candidate.

That candidate is Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican who is vying to become the next mayor of Los Angeles, California, and oust incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Spencer has been fiercely promoted by right-wing figures, though remains several points behind Bass in recent polls.

Donald Trump threatened a federal judge by name Sunday and attacked a female plaintiff as a "serial" litigant in a Truth Social post defending his plan to build a military drone port on top of the proposed White House ballroom, warning the judge that he "will be held responsible" if anything goes wrong.

"Judge Richard Leon should stop playing games with America's Security!" Trump wrote, posting side-by-side images of the proposed DronePort — one showing a festive aerial view of Washington and another depicting military aircraft and troops. "If anything happens, he will be held responsible for the Death and Destruction caused to our Country."

GOP strategist David Urban, who in 2016 served as President Donald Trump’s senior campaign adviser, issued his former boss a harsh warning on Sunday, cautioning the president that he may soon face a wave of congressional subpoenas if he doesn’t dramatically shift course ahead of the midterm elections.

Appearing on CNN, Urban was responding to Trump’s remarks last week where he told reporters that he didn’t “care about the midterms” as it relates to his deeply unpopular war against Iran.

Fox's Maria Bartiromo drew ridicule from journalists and conservatives alike after posting a lengthy defense of Donald Trump's Kennedy Center name change that got the basic legal facts wrong — and appeared to pass along opposition research from Laura Loomer targeting the judge's wife.

Bartiromo claimed the Kennedy Center board had already approved adding Trump's name to the building and accused the judge who ordered it removed of being part of a "Get Trump" conspiracy. "The way these judges go after Donald Trump is absolutely sick and the history books will reveal how sick and un-American they are," she wrote, before pivoting to information she attributed to Loomer about Judge Christopher Cooper's wife, attorney Dorothy Ames Jeffress, claiming Jeffress had previously represented Lisa Page and Nancy Pelosi.

With President Donald Trump’s favorability at historically low levels as his policies continue to economically ravage Americans, GOP strategist Brad Todd issued the president a tight deadline to turn things around, or risk a devastating collapse of power.

Trump’s tariffs and his decision to launch a war against Iran have sent prices for a number of goods skyrocketing, leading to a considerable backlash from voters that has led analysts to predict a historically poor midterm election performance from the GOP.

Former Vice President Mike Pence broke with the Trump administration Sunday over the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, calling it a "deeply offensive" and a "bad idea" and urging the White House to abandon it entirely.

Pence made the remarks in an interview with NBC News' Meet the Press, where he said he would encourage the Trump administration to drop the fund, which is designed to compensate people who claim they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the government — including those who attacked police officers during the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol.

Republicans are growing increasingly “uncomfortable” as a confluence of factors have “scrambled the political math in typically red Texas,” Axios reported Sunday, factors that could potentially flip a seat that has been held by a Republican since 1994.

Among the strongest factors is Texas’ demographic shift, with more than 2.5 million Americans having moved to the Lone Star State since 2020.

The ongoing renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool being carried out by the Trump administration have yet to address a major “underlying problem,” according to documents obtained and reported on by The New York Times, a problem that if not addressed, could leave the floor of the iconic pool “invisible under a layer of green murk.”

“Twelve-inch pipes under the surrounding parkland are responsible for moving large volumes of water from the pool to [a] treatment plant and back again. When it works, that system is supposed to filter all of the pool’s four million gallons every three days or so,” reads the Times’ report.
