Trump attacks 'corrupt and irrelevant' foes in raving late-night posting spree

President Donald Trump attacked several of his political foes, whom he called "corrupt and irrelevant," in a raving late-night posting spree on Truth Social.

Trump is routinely up late at night posting images of himself or firing off long-winded attacks against his political enemies. In the past, he's posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ healing a sick man in bed, threatened to wipe out the Iranian civilization, and reposted multiple conspiracy theories about how the 2020 general election was allegedly stolen from him, even though his lawyers couldn't prove that point in more than 60 cases.

Speaking on his YouTube channel Monday, Schmidt drew the comparison to former Vice President Dan Quayle's infamous 1992 spelling fumble, when Quayle told a student there was an "E" on the end of "potato."

Susan Collins (R-ME). During the interview, Conway demanded that Democrats disown Platner because of his extreme views, something she said they once used to cause a divide between Republicans and a high-profile extremist.

Analyst pinpoints 'fast lesson' Trump just got from his slush fund retreat

President Donald Trump just got a "fast lesson in political gravity" by retreating from his most recent plot to pay his supporters with federal money, according to one analyst.

On Tuesday, reports indicated that the Trump administration is backing down from its plan to create a nearly $1.8 billion so-called "anti-weaponization" fund that would pay people who claimed they were wrongfully prosecuted by the government. The fund received sharp bipartisan criticism after multiple Trump allies and former advisors publicly said they intend to seek compensation from the fund.

One of the Make America Great Again movement's biggest stars shared a blistering warning for President Donald Trump during a new interview on Monday.

CNN's Jake Tapper was visibly taken aback by new comments made by election denier and disgraced county clerk Tina Peters after she was released from prison on Monday.

Peters appeared on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast after her release, where she claimed that she was sent to jail for exposing a Democratic plot to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump. Her comments echoed some of the claims she made in court during her case, in which the judge described her as a "charlatan" who was abusing her position of authority to help the Trump campaign in its efforts to overturn the election results.

WSJ delivers withering rebuke: Iran is playing Trump — and he's letting it happen

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board delivered a scathing verdict on Donald Trump's handling of Iran, accusing the regime of manipulating the president into rescuing Hezbollah, even as it openly violates ceasefires and fires at American forces.

In an editorial published Monday evening, the editorial board wrote that Iran is "throwing a wrench into negotiations with the U.S., and President Trump spent the rest of the day scrambling to satisfy Iran’s demand." That resulted in a fresh Lebanon ceasefire that handed Hezbollah a reprieve it didn't earn, the editors railed.

Trump just suffered the biggest self-inflicted wound of his second term: expert

President Donald Trump just suffered one of the biggest self-inflicted wounds of his second term, according to one legal expert.

On Tuesday, sources inside the Trump administration claimed that the $1.776 billion so-called "anti-weaponization" fund had effectively been killed after Trump met with Republican leaders at the White House. The fund was created as part of a settlement between Trump's Department of Justice and the IRS over the president's leaked tax returns. It sought to pay claims by people who alleged they had been improperly prosecuted by the government, and multiple of Trump's allies had publicly said they would seek payments. Both Republicans and Democrats sharply criticized the idea.

Trump's Freedom 250 implosion proved there's one thing he can't conquer: analysis

President Donald Trump's "epic crashout" after most of the performers bowed out of his "Freedom 250 Concert" revealed that the commander-in-chief cannot seem to get his grip on what he desperately wants: cultural relevance, a journalist pointed out on Monday.

In a Substack post, author Paul Waldman described how "his quest to dominate culture the way he dominates politics keeps going badly," and his most recent move backfired. A majority of the artists ended up dropping out and some said they were misled to think it was a nonpartisan event, but "once they realized the event was all about Donald Trump, most of them wanted nothing to do with it."
