Former President Donald Trump is frequently compared to Jesus Christ by some of his followers and he's put himself out there as a modern-day Abraham Lincoln.

But it was his effort to stand alongside Nelson Mandela that saw him brutally roasted by a Washington Post columnist Friday.

With Donald Trump slated to appear in a Manhattan courtroom on Monday where he faces 34 counts of first-degree falsifying business records that could lead to four years in jail, a popular USA Today columnist taunted the former president over his series of attempts to avoid going to court.

According to columnist Rex Huppke, despite his "alpha male" posturing, the former president is nothing more than a "chicken" with all of his "griping and whining and woe-is-me-ing."

CNN correspondent Donie O'Sullivan took to the streets to talk to evangelical Trump supporters and find out more about why they believe former President Donald Trump is important to the survival of faith in America — and got some eye-catching answers.

One of the most striking came from Grace Riedinger, a Trump supporter who was wearing a "Jesus Christ '24" shirt, and did not consider that to be an exaggeration.

Republicans are hoping to persuade Donald Trump supporters to embrace mail-in voting without raising the ex-president's ire, and a source says they may have found a workaround.

The former president believes mail-in voting is inherently fraudulent and has called for its abolishment, but sources told The Guardian that his own campaign knows that "banking" votes early is the most effective and efficient way to turn out their base – if they can overcome Trump's fearmongering.

Once upon a time, retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman was hired by the state's top Republican to help prove former President Donald Trump's conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen.

Now, a disgruntled Gableman is trying to take his former employer down.

Donald Trump has had his legal team pumping out a myriad of legal filings that have not only failed to delay his so-called "hush money" trial but have also, combined with trials he's facing in other jurisdictions, burned through an extraordinary amount of cash.

Despite a multitude of attempts to get Judge Juan Merchan to delay the trial where the former president is facing 34 counts of first-degree falsifying business records, it will proceed on Monday and all Trump has to show for his efforts is a stack of legal bills.

Michael Cohen accurately predicted that Donald Trump would not accept an election defeat without a fight, and he made a chilling prediction about what a second presidency would bring.

Trump's former personal attorney will testify in Trump's upcoming trial in the New York hush money case involving porn actress Stormy Daniels, and Cohen recalled in an interview with Politico a prediction he made when testifying before Congress about criminal activity he undertook on behalf of the ex-president.

National security attorney Bradley Moss on Friday argued that former President Donald Trump's defense in the Mar-a-Lago documents case suffered a big blow after attorney Evan Corcoran departed his legal team.

Appearing on CNN Friday, Moss explained that Corcoran's departure was so significant because it now frees him up to be a witness against his own one-time client due to the notes he took about Trump's actions that showed the former president allegedly engaging in criminal obstruction.

Previewing Donald Trump's so-called "hush money" trials slated to begin next Monday, one prosecutor stated any assertion by the former president and his legal team that he paid off adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep his wife Melania from finding out will fall flat on its face if it is presented in court.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," State Attorney for Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg pointed out that the trial is actually about business and financial fraud.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped Donald Trump's efforts to deflect from his complicity in rolling back abortion rights and his attempts to kill the the landmark health care law signed by former president Barack Obama.

The ex-president on Thursday denied that he was "running to terminate" Obamacare, which he has explicitly tried to do since entering politics, and the "Morning Joe" host ridiculed Trump's efforts to wriggle away from that unpopular position and the deeply unpopular Arizona abortion ban that came in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn abortion rights.

Speaker Mike Johnson's flip-flop on reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has drawn angry accusations from a fellow MAGA Republican about being part of a "psyop."

After posting a video showing Johnson explaining his decision to back off his previous opposition to to renewing the provision, Sen. Mike Lee floated a conspiratorial question that seemed to implicate the House speaker in some kind of government plot.

Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson will fly to Florida on Friday to join the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, four-times indicted ex-president Donald Trump for a press conference to promote House legislation aimed at banning non-U.S. citizens from voting, which is already a criminal felony.

USA Today reports during the event "the top House Republican will tout the legislation to 'elevate the issue of non-citizens voting in federal elections,' according to a person familiar with the planning."
