Data analyst aghast at latest Trump polling: 'No joke – what a disaster'

President Donald Trump's approval rating on the key issue that won him re-election has hit a dismal new low, and CNN's Harry Enten is betting things will get worse.

Six current and former Border Patrol agents are coming forward to accuse the agency's chief, Michael Banks, of repeatedly soliciting sex workers while overseas, reported the conservative Washington Examiner on Wednesday.

Trump 'library' will sit on prime real estate finagled away from minority college for $10

President Donald Trump confirmed his presidential library will be more like a high-rise hotel, and it will be built on a parcel of prime downtown Miami real estate finagled from a college that primarily serves minorities.

The 79-year-old president shared AI-generated video of his planned presidential library Monday on social media, but he told reporters in the Oval Office the following day that the project will closely resemble the self-branded hotels he developed as a private businessman – but he used his political powers to purchase the valuable property for next to nothing, as reported by NPR and WTVJ-TV.

Beaming conservative's false claims repeatedly smacked down on CNN: 'Just patently false!'

A conservative commentator met repeated pushback on "CNN This Morning" for justifying President Donald Trump's attempts to take over this year's midterm elections.

The 79-year-old president signed his second election-related executive order in this term directing the Department of Homeland Security to create federal lists of citizens and ordering the U.S. Postal Service to transmit mail ballots to only those voters, and conservative activist Terry Schilling insisted Trump was addressing a real issue and not simply trying to tip the scales in Republicans' favor.
