Trump team hurls wild accusation against GOP former ally: 'May have tipped off protestors'

President Donald Trump’s team leveled a colossal accusation against former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, one they said was serious enough to contact the U.S. Secret Service, Axios reported Friday.

Last September, Trump made a planned visit to a Washington, D.C. restaurant only to be confronted by anti-war protestors, an incident that reportedly left him “rattled” enough to scrap future "surprise pop-ins” indefinitely. And, according to two sources on Trump’s team that spoke with Axios under the condition of anonymity, it was Greene, they alleged, that tipped off the protestors of Trump’s planned visit.

Katie Miller freaks out on ChatGPT for response to ICE agent killing of Minnesota mom

Katie Miller, wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, criticized ChatGPT late Thursday for its characterization of an ICE shooting that killed an innocent woman.

The incident occurred Wednesday in Minneapolis when ICE agents shot 37-year-old Renee Good in the face as she attempted to drive away from angry ICE agents taking part in a convoy in Minneapolis which is currently under siege from the Department of Homeland Security.

ChatGPT's analysis of the shooting stated, "Based on available video and reporting: ICE agents escalated a chaotic stop, gave conflicting commands, and fired as the woman tried to leave. The shooting responsibility lies with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who pulled the trigger."

Miller responded by characterizing the AI platform's assessment as "woke," and a threat to the nation.

Republicans struggling to connect Trump's 'war powers' to voter concerns: report

President Donald Trump's allies are fully on board with his Venezuela invasion, but they're still trying to figure out how to make his aggressive foreign policy moves connect with voter concerns.

The president seemed to acknowledge the political risk in the Venezuela raid in an interview this week, saying he worried the operation could end up a “Jimmy Carter disaster" like the failed 1980 operation to rescue 52 hostages from Iran, but his Republican allies fear that his moves present another type of political risk, reported Politico.

'I'm disappointed': Fox Business reacts live to Trump's 'weaker' new job numbers

Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo reacted live Friday to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics’ December jobs report which revealed just 50,000 jobs were created last month, a number she admitted was “weaker than expected,” but attempted to spin as a positive for the U.S. economy.

Trump wants Greenland for one reason but could open 'theater of conflict': expert

Donald Trump could be preparing for a new "theater of conflict" with China and Russia in Greenland, a political analyst has suggested.

Though the president's administration has made it clear the official line is a takeover of Greenland for security measures, commentator Gaby Hinsliff, writing in The Guardian, believes there is a more obvious reason at play. Material wealth may be a driving force for the Trump team, and the melting of ice caps which would open a new trade route between Asia and North America is a tempting reason, Hinsliff argued.

'Hasn't gone away': Author warns problem Trump can't outrun is about to come roaring back

President Donald Trump's latest distraction "operation" is about to come to a screeching halt, forcing him to face a problem that he has never been able to outrun, according to a high-profile author.

Over the last couple of weeks, the Trump administration has invaded a foreign country and captured its leader, threatened military action against a NATO ally to gain control over a sovereign country, and threatened to arrest multiple world leaders. These moves followed the release of some files from the FBI's investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that painted Trump's relationship with the convicted sex offender in an unsavory light.
