Former President Donald Trump bragged about the size of the crowd gathered to see him as he did a campaign event at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania on Sunday.

In an interview conducted via the restaurant's drive-thru window, Trump urged reporters to capture the size of the crowd.

"Did you order anything yourself?" one reporter asked.

"I'm going to take plenty," Trump replied. "French fries for the plane."

"Have you seen the people over there?" he asked. "That is thousands of people."

After being asked if the minimum wage should be increased, the former president deflected.

"It's a great company," he opined. "And they've been very, very nice. And, you know, if you look at really what's happening, look at the crowd over there."

"Look how happy everybody is. They're happy because they want hope. They need hope. That's what we're doing. That's what we're going to give much more than hope," he continued. "We're going to take hope and make it back."

At one point, the former president also bragged about how many TikTok "hits" he had received.

President Donald Trump's revenge tour is soon to make a stop inside the White House after the president was "humiliated" by one of his top aides, according to one analyst.

Trump's second term has been marked by one retributive act after another. For now, those acts have largely been undertaken outside of the White House. The president directed his Department of Justice to investigate his political foes, such as former FBI Director James Comey, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA). Still, the courts swiftly slapped those investigations away.

But that could soon change as Trump's aides appear to be revolting against him, according to political analysts Sidney Blumenthal and Sean Wilentz. They pointed to a recent series of interviews, in which Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, gave to Vanity Fair, where she described the president as having an "alcoholic personality" and admitted that the investigations into Trump's foes were done for revenge.

Blumenthal and Wilentz argued on a new episode of their podcast, "The Court of History," that Wiles' interviews might make her a top target for Trump's revenge tour.

"It's an aggressive act in which she's taken a kind of half step back here," Blumenthal said. "There's an element of revenge, of getting even, for how she has been diminished by everybody around her in the Trump administration and White House, including and especially Donald Trump."

Experts have speculated that Trump's cabinet could see a high-profile departure in early 2026. Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino has already announced his resignation, and other cabinet members, like DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have come under fire for various miscues.

Blumenthal added Wiles' name to the list of candidates.

"I believe that Trump, having been humiliated by her, never lets a humiliation go to waste, and he will find a way to engage in a drip of humiliation that may force her out," Blumenthal said of Wiles. "I'd be surprised if he doesn't do that. He has betrayed everybody around him and would betray her. He owes her no particular loyalty, even though she was his campaign manager in 2024 and helped bring him back to the presidency."

Brian Cole Jr., who is accused of planting multiple pipe bombs around Washington, D.C., leading up to the January 6, 2021, insurrection, gave a stunning confession to law enforcement officials, according to new court documents.

The January 6 pipe bomber case has become a political flash point since photos of the individual first surfaced in 2021. Some lawmakers have called on law enforcement officials to investigate the case and bring everyone involved to justice. In contrast, others have alleged that the incidents were a "diversionary tactic" intended to divert resources from the Capitol that day.

According to a newly unsealed memorandum, federal prosecutors indicated that Cole "gave a detailed confession" to officers after he was arrested in early December. Cole discussed his political views and gave a shockingly candid answer about his motives.

"When the interviewing agents returned to the defendant’s motive, he explained that 'something just snapped' after 'watching everything, just everything getting worse,'" the document reads in part. "The defendant wanted to do something 'to the parties' because 'they were in charge.'"

Cole is accused of planting pipe bombs outside of the Democratic and Republican National Committees in D.C. During his interview, Cole said he attended the protest "in support of President Trump," although he stopped short of saying he is a MAGA fan.

“I didn’t agree with what people were doing, like just telling half the country that they – that their – that they just need to ignore it. I didn’t think that was a good idea, so I went to the protest," he said.

"When asked why he placed the devices at the RNC and DNC, the defendant responded, 'I really don’t like either party at this point,'" he continued. "The defendant also explained that the idea to use pipe bombs came from his interest in history, specifically the Troubles in Ireland. The defendant denied that his actions were directed toward Congress or related to the proceedings scheduled to take place on January 6."

A high-profile investigative journalist received quite a shock on Sunday when she discovered her flight itinerary from a trip to Florida in July 2019 tucked in the latest batch of files related to the FBI's investigation of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown posted on X on Sunday that she found her flight information in the newly released files attached to a grand jury subpoena. The trip occurred during Trump's first administration and happened about a month before Epstein was found dead in the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center.

"Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)? As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why (sic) was the DOJ monitoring me?" Brown wrote.

Brown's post sparked outrage among political analysts and observers toward the administration.

"This is a major scandal in and of itself, beyond whatever else is found in the files about Epstein himself," Iranian-American writer Alireza Talakoubnejad posted on X.

"Why was the DOJ tracking a journalist covering Epstein?" journalist Chris Bury asked on X.

"Disturbing. Top reporter on Epstein case," foreign policy reporter Laura Rozen posted on X.

"Oh s---," journalist Rebecca Lewis posted on X.

"The cover-up is real!" Ed Krassenstein posted on X.
