A prominent author who has written about President Donald Trump for decades warned on Tuesday that the president just showed the world that he is genuinely "off his f------ rocker."

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, discussed Trump's response to director Rob Reiner's murder on a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast that he co-hosts with Joana Coles of The Daily Beast. Trump posted on Truth Social that Reiner, a frequent critic of Trump's, suffered from "Trump Derrangement Syndrome," and suggested that this may have led to his death.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board bashed President Donald Trump's favorite economic policy on Tuesday after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released its latest job market update.

The latest data showed that the economy created 64,000 net new jobs in November following a decline of 105,000 in October. The Journal's editors noted in a new editorial that the figure "sounds worse than it is because the net jobs decline was all in government jobs."

A MAGA firebrand roasted Fox News during a CNN interview on Tuesday over the network's coverage of President Donald Trump's administration.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called out Fox News for being late to the party on "affordability," which public polling shows is the top issue for voters heading into the 2026 midterm election. She also called out House SpeakerMike Johnson (R-LA) for putting Republicans in a tough spot on health care by shutting down the government for eight weeks.

President Donald Trump received a blow on Tuesday as it became clear both of North Carolina's Republican senators are set to reject a nominee from that state for Ambassador for International Religious Freedom.

Former Rep. Mark Walker, a pastor who previously served as vice chair of the House Republican Conference, appears to be opposed by both Sen. Ted Budd and Sen. Thom Tillis. Under Senate traditions, nominees need the approval of both home state senators, a process known as the "blue slip."

President Donald Trump made his designs on a potential invasion of Venezuela clearer than ever with a public threat issued on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday evening.

"Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America," said Trump, who has spent the last few months striking ships in the area ostensibly to combat drug trafficking. "It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the United States of America all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

A reporter for Vanity Fair said on Tuesday that he was "astonished" by how a Trump administration official conducted herself during a series of 11 interviews.

Chris Whipple, who published a bombshell report on Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and the Trump White House on Tuesday, discussed his reporting on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360." He described Wiles's interviews as "unguarded," considering some of the revelations she gave Whipple.

In the aftermath of President Donald Trump's failed push to get Indiana Republicans to pass an extreme mid-decade gerrymander deleting all Democratic congressional seats in the state, GOP officials there who supported the effort are admitting defeat — and facing recriminations from within their own party.

Trump threw everything he could at getting Indiana to pass the new map, sending Vice President JD Vance to the state multiple times, and Gov. Mike Braun and the congressional GOP delegation endorsed the plan. But after a bitterly divisive session that involved GOP holdouts being targeted with violent threats, Braun has acknowledged it's not going to happen anytime soon.

A political commentator was stunned on Tuesday night after hearing about a series of interviews a Trump administration official gave to Vanity Fair.

Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, sat for 11 interviews with the outlet over several months. The article Vanity Fair published on Tuesday included comments from Wiles calling officials like OMB Director Russ Vought a "zealot" and saying Trump is only pursuing charges against Letitia James and James Comey as "retribution."

CNN anchor Erin Burnett was stunned on Tuesday as she reported on a series of interviews in which an official from the Trump administration spoke to Vanity Fair.

Susie Wiles, Trump's chief of staff, gave 11 interviews to Vanity Fair over several months, where she bashed officials like Russ Vought, the controversial leader of the Office of Management and Budget, and said President Donald Trump had an "addictive" personality. She also admitted that Trump's Justice Department investigations into political rivals like New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey are "retribution."

Donald Trump Jr. seemed to "inadvertently" reveal something about himself after he announced his new engagement, according to a new column.

Trump announced on Monday that he is engaged to his socialite girlfriend, Bettina Anderson, in an event held at the White House. The announcement came about a year after Trump was engaged to former Fox News personality and current U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, noted Heather Schwedel, a Slate staff writer, in a new column.

President Donald Trump's efforts to renovate and demolish historic buildings around Washington, D.C., are now running into lawsuits from locals, reported the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.

This comes after Trump drew nationwide controversy by razing the East Wing of the White House to build a massive ballroom more than double the size of the presidential mansion itself — financed by donations from corporate backers who theoretically could have business with the government. Trump has recently defended this construction project by claiming it is necessary for national security.
