Amid unprecedented bipartisan backlash, President Donald Trump ditched his original nomination for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on Thursday and named a new replacement – an announcement that's sparked “Trump-induced chaos” for Senate GOP leaders, Punchbowl News reported Friday.

“As always, the timing around here matters,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), according to Punchbowl News. “It would have been nice if we had had this a couple of days earlier.”

According to branding expert Donnie Deutsch, Donald Trump’s desire to be the central topic of every day will lead him to deny his MAGA crown to either Secretary of State Marco Rubio or Vice President JD Vance.

Deutsch, a former friend of Trump’s going back to their Manhattan days, told the hosts of MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” that the president will instead tab one of his children to keep the Trump name in the headlines.

A chorus of Senate and House Republicans broke sharply with President Donald Trump Thursday over his escalating threats to Iran, with one loyalist invoking the specter of Vietnam and others warning the conflict will cost them in the midterm elections.

The complaints grew louder within hours after Trump threatened to seize Kharg Island, a critical Iranian oil hub, in the latest of a string of statements that have whipsawed allies and adversaries alike — and for many Republican lawmakers, it was a threat too far, reported CNN.

Should a desperate Donald Trump sign off on the latest deal with Iran that led him to call off a major attack late Thursday, he would suffer a “major humiliation” based on leaked details.

That is according to Insider editor Michael Weiss, who appeared on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” on Friday morning and claimed that the president has come to the realization that he was duped into the whole endeavor.

The White House quietly installed a "babysitter" to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr in check amid terror the vaccine-sceptic is about to help tank the GOP's midterm performance, a report claimed Friday.

The secretary of health and human services' most powerful aide has been installed to keep Kennedy from going off the rails, several Democrats told Politico.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event slated to be held at the White House on Sunday is underwater with a majority of Americans, many of whom have bombarded its promotional posts with references to Jeffrey Epstein, Axios reported Friday.

According to a survey of more than 9,200 adults conducted by YouGov, 51% of Americans either “somewhat” or “strongly” disapprove of the event, officially labeled UFC Freedom 250 and scheduled for Trump's 80th birthday.

A prominent psychologist is sounding the alarm about President Donald Trump's increasingly erratic behavior, warning that his fixation on Washington construction projects is a sign of significant mental decline.

Dr. John Gartner, a clinical psychologist and former Johns Hopkins University Medical School professor, told the Daily Beast that Trump's rambling tangents about pet projects — the White House Ballroom, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a planned Triumphal Arch modeled after Paris's Arc de Triomphe — aren't just political theater.
