Trump News

A Guardian columnist drew a devastating parallel between Donald Trump's increasingly erratic behavior and the cognitive decline that ultimately ended Joe Biden's political career, and asked why no one in Washington seems willing to say what millions of Americans suspect.

In a blistering column published Monday, Gaby Hinsliff catalogued a string of recent Trump episodes that raised eyebrows across the political spectrum: rambling about Sharpie pens in the middle of a war cabinet meeting, making a baffling Pearl Harbor joke in front of Japan's prime minister, and calling the Strait of Hormuz the "Strait of Trump," then insisting it was deliberate.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) told CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday that President Donald Trump's Department of Justice "botched" the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, and that the MAGA movement is keenly aware of their shortcomings.

Comer and Tapper discussed the way Trump's DOJ has handled the release of the files during an interview on CNN's "The Lead." Tapper asked Comer whether he has any confidence in the DOJ's compliance with a law Congress passed last year that required the agency to release all files in its possession by December 2025.

Another ally of former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has found herself in legal jeopardy over delays in responding to a natural disaster, according to a new report.

Bloomberg reported on Monday that Kara Voorhies, who was installed at the Federal Emergency Management Agency by Noem's top advisor, Corey Lewandowski, is facing a DHS Inspector General probe into her role in responding to the deadly floods in Texas last year. Voorhies retained outsized influence on agency contracting and spending decisions while she worked at DHS, according to the report.

Observers were astounded on Monday after a new golden statue mocking President Donald Trump appeared on the National Mall.

The Washington Post reported that a golden toilet seat on a faux marble pedestal was installed on the mall, accompanied by a plaque reading "a Throne Fit for a King." It was built just days after more than 8 million people across the U.S. participated in the nationwide "No Kings" protest.

A figurehead of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement sounded off on Monday as the president's main crypto advisor's time in the administration came to an end.

Last week, Trump's crypto czar, David Sacks, announced that he planned to leave the administration. Sacks had served in the administration as a special government employee, which limited the time he could spend in government and imposed ethics constraints on his role, Axios reported.

President Donald Trump's latest threat against the Iranian regime is "extremely hard to justify" under international law, according to one expert.

Admiral James G. Stavridis told CNN's Abby Phillip on "The Arena" on Monday that Trump's threat to bomb Iran's water and energy infrastructure if the country does not reopen the Strait of Hormuz would be a difficult move to defend. Certain parts of the threat seem to align with international law, but attacking civilian infrastructure could extend the war in Iran for years to come, he added.

Conservative columnist SE Cupp shredded the Trump administration's latest "straw man" during a panel discussion on CNN.

For weeks, the Trump administration has shifted its story about why the U.S. bombed Iran in coordination with Israel, Cupp argued on "The Arena" with host Abby Phillip on Monday. The explanations have changed so frequently that White House officials like Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appear to be having a hard time keeping up, she added.

Conservative viewers unhappy about the war in Iran overwhelmed the pro-MAGA Real America's Voice network with emails opposing President Donald Trump.

During the Human Events show on Monday, host Jack Posobiec spent nearly 10 minutes reading mail from people who had voted for Trump.

The Good Liars host Jason Selvig mocked former Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino literally to his face.

In a prank that seemed to go over Bovino's head, Selvig interviewed the former Trump official after he spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week. A video of the encounter was shared on social media in a video titled "Short interview with Greg Bovino."

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones lashed out at Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) after TMZ published photographs of the pro-war Republican taking an unannounced vacation at Disney World.

"Lindsey Graham is walking around by himself with a baby blue and pink princess scepter," Jones noted on Monday. "So the point is he's got a girl's toy, and he's walking around talking to Mickey Mouse and people looking completely insane. Look at him on TV. He constantly talks about killing people."

Donald Trump's Iran war is testing the limits of corporate America's tolerance — and the only thing keeping CEOs from publicly attacking the president is fear of retribution, according to Fortune's Diane Brady reporting from CERAWeek in Houston.

But that restraint may be ending. As the economic damage mounts, business leaders are signaling they may finally be willing to risk Trump's wrath and speak out against policies they view as catastrophic for their bottom lines.
