Historian and authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat laid into reporters for their obsessive fixation on President Joe Biden's health, arguing they should be more concerned with former President Donald Trump's strongman plans.

Her post on X came in response to a New Yorker article suggesting that Biden's cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office.

As Donald Trump took to Truth Social Thursday to break his so-called silence and rail against political foes and journalists, President Joe Biden issued a tongue-in-cheek reminder about a historically odd comment from the former president.

Biden's reminder comes as he faces a backlash for a poor debate performance that raised concerns about his mental fitness — concerns similar to those raised when Trump warned of battery boat shark attacks and praised fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter as a "wonderful man."

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman roasted Donald Trump Thursday evening for a supposed campaign tactic amid turmoil raised by President Joe Biden's poor debate performance.

The former president, who himself has faced years of questions about his mental health and is currently awaiting sentencing for a 34-count felony conviction, has reportedly been maintaining silence so as to keep the focus on Biden's fitness to run.

Former President Donald Trump's niece Mary responded Thursday to veiled threats of a bloody right-wing revolution and found the irony in a recent Supreme Court ruling.

Mary Trump responded to Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts' recent appearance on a far right cable station in which he warned conservatives would be "taking the country back" in a revolution that would only be bloodless "if the left allows it to be."

A routine political summit has become "a moment of trepidation and peril" as world leaders cast their gaze on the U.S. and a former president they are terrified might reclaim the White House, according to a new political analysis.

The Washington Post's foreign affairs columnist David Ignatius wrote Thursday about an upcoming NATO summit where he says President Joe Biden will carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.

President Joe Biden managed once again to send former President Donald Trump's campaign spokesperson into conniptions on Thursday.

The president kicked off July 4 celebrations with a rousing speech at the White House honoring the sacrifice of veterans — but he appeared to veer off-script at one point to make a jab at former Trump for his disrespect of American troops.

Black voters are furious over recent calls for President Joe Biden to step away from the 2024 campaign, a conservative told CNN viewers Thursday.

Commentator Shermichael Singleton made this discovery when he threw his support behind calls for Biden to step aside on SiriusXM Urban View, the African American talk radio channel on which he says he is the only conservative.

Former President Donald Trump threw down the gauntlet in one of many rambling posts to Truth Social on July 4, challenging President Joe Biden to another debate.

Trump also leapt at the opportunity to once again boast of his own ratings.

Former President Donald Trump's team was caught unawares this week by a recent turn in the campaign and have no idea how to respond, a CNN analyst said Thursday.

Calls for President Joe Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race caught an unprepared Trump campaign completely by surprise, reporter Alayna Treene told anchor Pamela Brown Thursday afternoon.

Fresh off his self-aggrandizing rant earlier in the day, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on July 4 to lob schoolyard insults at ABC News reporter George Stephanopoulos.

This comes just one day before a major interview is set to drop in primetime between Stephanopoulos and President Joe Biden.

Former President Donald Trump was caught on hot mic this week while driving in a golf cart, ranting about President Joe Biden as a "pile of c---" and proclaiming that Vice President Kamala Harris, who is his most obvious replacement if the ongoing media and party panic over his health causes him to drop out, is "so f---ing bad."

But Trump doesn't appear remotely embarrassed at his behavior. On the contrary, he is now using footage from that video in a campaign ad, according to The Daily Beast.

Bubbling rage against Donald Trump and the political elite who protect him from criminal prosecution has the power to topple the former president's campaign, an American historian and scholar argued Thursday.

Ruth Ben-Ghiat spoke with the Guardian's Margaret Sullivan about what they described as the media's false equivalency fallacy equating President Joe Biden's poor debate performance with Trumps' four criminal cases, authoritarian rhetoric and campaign agenda, and problematic first presidency.

Former President Donald Trump kicked off the Fourth of July with a lengthy screed on Truth Social praising himself and lobbing insults at President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris — barely mentioning anything at all about the founding of the country or any of its values.

"Happy Fourth of July to all, including to our highly incapable 'President,' who uses Prosecutors to go after his Political Opponent, who choked like a dog during the Debate but tried to pretend it was 'International Travel' (only 12 days rest!) and, when that gig was up, he blamed it on a 'cold,'" Trump wrote.
