Former President Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign is in "dire straits" his own staffers say put him at a "huge disadvantage" to incumbent President Joe Biden, according to Washington insiders and a new report.

Money and staffing problems plague Trump's campaign in battleground states where the former president — facing mounting legal fees amid multiple criminal and criminal court battles — cannot afford to expand, according to NBC News.

While Democrats were celebrating their stop to the so-called "red wave" in 2022, Donald Trump was stewing in anger in a Versailles-inspired ballroom in Florida as a hurricane bore down, a writer revealed in a new book.

Isaac Arnsdorf's "Finish What We Started: The MAGA Movement’s Ground War to End Democracy" details the movement's rise to power and its success outside of Donald Trump. After his reign, Trump attempted to recruit candidates he thought could follow his MAGA playbook and win in the 2022 Midterms.

Former House Republican Ken Buck of Colorado is calling out U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for "getting her talking points from the Kremlin" and calling her "Moscow Marjorie."

Discussing the House's need to pass legislation to help Ukraine fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin's illegal war, Buck declared Congresswoman Greene is "on the wrong side of history." Greene staunchly opposes any support for Ukraine, and has threatened to move to oust Speaker Johnson if he passes aid to support the embattled sovereign nation.

When environmental attorney and noted conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. jumped into the presidential race in the Democratic Primary, former President Donald Trump and his associates cheered him on. But now he's running as an independent instead, they're divided over whether to promote him or stop him, unsure of whether his presence will hurt or help their campaign.

According to reporter Marc Caputo for The Bulwark, "For months, the conventional wisdom has held that Kennedy was more of a problem for Democrats — that he would siphon votes from President Biden. The Biden campaign launched a full-scale assault on Kennedy, defining the scion of Democratic royalty as a 'stalking horse' for Trump, filing election complaints against the independent’s campaign, and trying in some states to block him from qualifying for the ballot."

Donald Trump has a long and documented history of exaggerating the truth and even outright lying about everything from the border crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and what he says was mass voter fraud during the 2020 election.

Now, a study has revealed "a kind of technique to his dishonesty."

Donald Trump Monday lashed out at Lindsey Graham after the Republican senator dared voice dissent against the former president's stated position on abortion.

Trump took to Truth Social to condemn Graham (R-SC) and issue a two-post defense of his take on legislating abortion.

After pledging to ban abortion in 2016 and saying there should be “some sort of punishment” for women who have one, and after bragging repeatedly about personally ending Roe v. Wade, in two new statements over the past twelve hours Donald Trump is now telling supporters his latest stance on abortion is the states have been given the right to decide, without saying if he would sign a nationwide abortion ban – while insisting Republicans "have an obligation" to "win elections."

Vanity Fair's and MSNBC's Molly Jong-Fast posted video of Trump in 2016 calling for punishment of women who have abortions.

Former President Donald Trump's social media forces sprang into action Monday after President Joe Biden pointed out a damning nine-second portion of the presumptive Republican nominee's abortion announcement.

In a campaign announcement, Trump took credit for ending federal abortion rights.

Questions raised by New York Attorney General Letitia James about the man who stepped in to finance Donald Trump's $175 million appeals bond took center stage on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Sunday morning with even more questions being raised.

Sitting down with co-hosts Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele and Symone Sanders-Townsend. MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin noted that Don Hankey, chair of the LA-based Hankey Group and owner of the Knight Specialty Insurance Company, has given conflicting answers about collateral his company accepted when putting up the bond for Trump's financial fraud conviction appeal.

Speaking with the hosts, she explained, "Don Hankey has given a number of interviews, he's been surprisingly forthcoming with a number of outlets including our own, but his precise statements have differed a little. But he told one outlet it was all in cash, he told another it was cash and a little bit of investment-grade bonds but he couldn't quite remember."

"If somebody pledged collateral to me and I wasn't usually in the surety bond business, I would sure as heck remember what the collateral looked like if I was going to loan them or essentially put up for them $175 million. James has reasonable questions to ask," she elaborated.

Delving deeper into what would happen if Trump lost his appeal and had to come up with the close to half billion he was penalized, Rubin pointed out the dilemma Hankey and Trump would both face.

"Trump has to cover the difference and how he does that remains a mystery," the legal analyst told the panel. "In part because it's not securitized for the rest as Chuck [Rosenberg] just pointed out."

"If and when James wins on appeal to the full satisfaction of that $454 million — and by the way, that will grow by the day with post-judgment interest, if upheld on appeal it will be substantially larger than that by the time we reach that judgment months in the future— she will have to figure out where Donald Trump's assets are, which of them she can most quickly seize or enforce upon," she explained. "Many of them are already pledged to other lenders. For example, we know that Axos Bank in which Don Hankey is the largest individual shareholder, has $225 million of outstanding loans to Donald Trump on just two properties: the commercial portion of Trump Tower and the Doral Golf Course."

"Mmm-hmm. There it is," co-host Steele interjected as Sanders-Townsend exclaimed, "That bank has problems."

The most recent report on Donald Trump's health is being questioned by an expert on aging who would like to provide the public with answers about the "projected life span and health" of President Joe Biden and the former president who is making a third run for the Oval Office.

In a deep dive into the background of Trump's new doctor, Dr. Bruce A. Aronwald, a 64-year-old osteopathic physician, the Washington Post is reporting the New Jersey physician is a longtime member of the former president's Bedminster golf club who specializes in wealthy clients serving as a "concierge" doctor.

Journalists covering Donald Trump's latest round of rallies as he heads toward the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination are growing increasingly alarmed not only at the dark turn some of his proposals have taken but also at his increasing "incoherence" when he tries to explain them to his adoring fans.

Reacting to some of the latest claims the former president has made as he tours the country, Susan Glasser of the New Yorker recently wrote, "It’s easiest to understand the threat that Trump poses to American democracy most clearly when you see it for yourself. Small clips of his craziness can be too easily dismissed as the background noise of our times.”
