President Donald Trump's abuses of power are something no Trump supporter would tolerate for a second if they were on the receiving end of it, Isaac Saul wrote for Tangle on Friday — and he proposed a number of thought experiments to prove it.

"I want to share my perspective on the moment we are living in," wrote Saul. "And the honest truth, as I see it, is that things are actually pretty bad right now. Nearly everything in the political arena — the candidates, the policies, the extremism, the AI slop, the punditry, the writing, the thinking, the principles — it all seems to be getting worse in basically every meaningful way. And, to me, one of the driving forces behind all of this is the Trump administration."

President Donald Trump deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford to the Caribbean as part of his ongoing war with what he calls "narco-terrorists" in the country. The bombing of unidentified boats in the waters off the coast of North and South America is entering "war crimes territory," one Pentagon reporter said on Friday.

There have been 10 "known" bombings of boats killing nearly four dozen people, The New York Times reported Friday.

President Donald Trump's favorability with Hispanics has nosedived by 19 percentage points over the past 10 months, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center poll results released Friday, The Hill reported.

A whopping 73 percent of Hispanic voters disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job — compared to just 27 percent who approve, the poll found. The Hill noted that "the results come as the Hispanic population has been targeted by some immigration enforcement officials for stops."

President Donald Trump's ramped-up hostilities with Venezuela drew a stern warning Friday from an unlikely source — the staunchly conservative National Review.

"It would be a colossal mistake for the president to glide listlessly into a war in South America for which he sought no public support or congressional buy-in," Noah Rothman, senior writer for the magazine, admonished Trump. "There is no legal basis for such an operation in the absence of an attack on U.S. assets or personnel.

Longtime District of Columbia congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton was scammed out of $4,000 at her home, NBC4 Washington reported on Friday — and a police report on the incident indicated that the 88-year-old lawmaker is showing signs of the "early stages of dementia."

The scammers, who were posing as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning maintenance workers, "said they were part of a cleaning crew, her office told News4. The suspects charged almost $4,400 to her credit card for work they did not perform," the report said. "An internal police report obtained by News4 details how suspects were able to enter Norton’s home on Thursday and access her credit card before someone, whom her office called a house manager and friend, was able to put a stop to it."

President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff didn't discount the idea of sending American soldiers to fight on the ground in Venezuela.

Speaking to the press on Friday, Stephen Miller was asked, "Would the administration consider putting troops on the ground in any capacity in Venezuela?"

President Donald Trump's new Time magazine cover has drawn a "chilling" similarity to a historic Nazi image, according to a report.

The portrait of Trump, released online Friday ahead of the print version, shows Trump behind his Oval Office desk, leaning forward with his hands under his chin in "a power pose that obscures his often bruised right hand and his loose neck skin," according to The Daily Beast. A headline above reads "TRUMP'S WORLD." Steven Voss, a Washington-based photographer, shot the photo.

President Donald Trump will likely name his giant gold ballroom after himself, an ABC News reporter posted Friday on X.

The move prompted swift backlash from those who are already furious to see Trump take a bulldozer to the most well-known building in America.

Critics raged Friday after Justice Department officials moved to rush the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Liberia — seven months after his case gained widespread condemnation when he was wrongfully deported to his native El Salvador in violation of an immigration judge's order.

This time, Justice Department lawyers told a federal judge that the government wants Abrego Garcia deported to the African nation by Oct. 31 — over his strong objections — and that rushed timing was flagged by critics as no accident.

President Donald Trump will "likely" name his massive ballroom after himself, a senior administration official told Katherine Faulders, ABC News' Washington managing editor covering politics.

According to the official, the staff is already calling it "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom."

New Hampshire Republicans' plans for mid-decade gerrymandering in a key state appear to be dead in the water.

According to Politico, New Hampshire state Sen. Dan Innis "has yanked his own bill that would have kicked off a mid-decade redraw of the state’s two congressional districts in the face of resistance from GOP Gov. Kelly Ayotte." Innis told Politico, “The governor wasn’t that supportive of it since it’s in the middle of the normal redistricting cycle. Rather than create a difficult situation in my own house, the New Hampshire State House, I thought it made sense to save this for another time.”
