A former airline mogul says he was able to manipulate Donald Trump into making a questionable business deal all while scorning the former president's physique, multiple reports show.

Trump is presented as a "flabby" sucker in former Continental Airlines CEO Frank Lorenzo's recently released book "Flying for Peanuts," according to reviews from Forbes and industry news analysis site Leeham Company.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was one of the international leaders willing to stand up to Donald Trump when he demanded a "favor" in exchange for sending military assistance already allocated by Congress. It seems Trump doesn't forget.

Punchbowl News pointed out that Trump has spent the past week bashing Zelenskyy, and it's causing Republicans to "wince."

When Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) ran for president in 2008 and picked Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) as his running mate, Democrats tried to drive home the message that Palin was "one weak heartbeat" from the presidency, as McCain at the time was 72 years old.

Now, however, there's a real chance that the 78-year-old Donald Trump, if elected this year, would not be able to serve out his full term in office.

Women who in the past have accused former President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting them will be featured in new advertisements funded by arch Trump critic George Conway.

People reports that Conway's political action committee is releasing new ads featuring Natasha Stoynoff, who claims that Trump assaulted her during a visit to Mar-a-Lago in 2005, and Jessica Leeds, who said Trump tried to put his hand up her skirt while she was seated next to him on a plane in 1979.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the powerful House Oversight Committee, vowed Wednesday to open an investigation into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's recent trip to Pennsylvania after he called Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance "radical."

On the same day Zelenskyy toured a weapons plant in Pennsylvania, the Ukrainian leader told The New Yorker that the war should not end at the expense of his country's territories. Zelenskyy lamented that Vance was "too radical" to be Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) scolded Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for holding a hearing on government "weaponization" by arguing that former President Donald Trump was the "ultimate" violator.

Speaking Wednesday to the House Judiciary Committee, Goldman accused Jordan of holding "another hearing about the same topic."

President Joe Biden spoke to the co-hosts of "The View" on Wednesday where co-host Whoopi Goldberg described Donald Trump as nothing more than an annoying bug.

The conversation turned to Biden stepping off the ticket and former Trump aide Alyssa Farah Griffin asked whether he held any animosity to Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for being among the Democratic leaders who pushed Biden off the ticket.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning, the New York Times' Jeremy Peters claimed that, despite recent polls showing the race between Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris stabilizing, the former president is running into new trouble.

During his sit-down with MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire, Peters was asked about the current polling that shows a close race.

"The polling had Biden's number right in 2020, did not have Trump's," he began. "You're still hearing a lot of concern among pollsters and strategists in the campaigns, not in the campaigns, who say that these polls can undercount Trump support. It is just a fact that Trump voters are less likely to pick up the phone, less likely to answer a survey and there is this phenomenon where they are less likely to cop to their support for Trump because they are somewhat ashamed by it."

"They're not sure that this is the kind of guy they want people knowing that they vote for, these are not the people who put the MAGA signs and the MAGA flags in their front yard," he elaborated. "That said, we have seen kind of a remarkable amount of stability in the race since the debate; things have moved by maybe a point or two here and there."

"You know, the polling in states like Arizona that could be critical is still really unclear, North Carolina is interesting because it has tightened, because there you have a MAGA problem —that is probably the biggest threat to Trump at this moment," he told the host.

"As one Republican strategist put it to me during one of the midterm elections, when things go haywire, when there are big national news stories of, like, mass shootings, crisis, upheaval, people are reminded of the chaos of Trump," Peters continued. "He's the president of chaos and they don't like that and, even though they may not like the direction of the country right now and that's bad for Biden and Harris, Trump gets tainted with that and I think people just really don't want to relive all that."
