A high-profile author who has written about President Donald Trump for decades revealed on Tuesday why Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro's dance moves were so devastating for the president's psyche.

Video emerged in late November of Maduro dancing at political rallies, which seemed to enrage Trump, according to a report by The New York Times. At the time, the Trump administration was trying to negotiate a surrender with the Venezuelan leader, an offer that was declined. Maduro's nonchalance was seen as a sign of disrespect inside the White House, according to reports.

The new Trump-leaning CBS News received a lot of backlash on Tuesday after it broadcast what some analysts described as a "disgraceful and disgusting" report about the January 6 riot.

On Tuesday night, Tony Dokoupil, the new host of "CBS Evening News," had a brief report saved for the end of the show about the January 6 riot. The report focused on the march held by a group of what he called "pardoned defendants." Others know them as people who were convicted of crimes during the January 6 riot, including conspiracy and assault on law enforcement officers.

One of the Trump administration's best policy salespeople has been relatively quiet in the debate over the recent arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, and one analyst thinks it's because people are having to "twist his arm" behind the scenes.

Vice President JD Vance, whom New Yorker contributor Benjamin Wallace-Wells argued in a new article on Tuesday is "the ablest communicator in the President’s orbit," has been relatively absent from the media sphere since Maduro was arrested over the weekend. Vance did put out a rather milquetoast statement for his standards, according to Wallace-Wells, but hasn't been the forceful advocate that he typically is.

President Donald Trump has once again ramped up his threats to acquire the territory of Greenland from Denmark, not even ruling out potential military occupation of the island. But at least for now, key Republican figures don't appear to be willing to back him on this.

U.S. interest in acquiring Greenland, which is both vital for strategic military purposes and rich in national resources, has existed in various forms since the 19th century. But since the NATO alliance was founded, Denmark has allowed the U.S. military access to the island, which largely tamped down debate in America about acquiring it outright. Trump, a longtime NATO skeptic, has repeatedly pushed to reopen that door, something Denmark and a majority of Greenlanders themselves vehemently oppose.

President Donald Trump's latest bizarre claim about U.S. interests in Venezuelan oil reserves stunned analysts on Tuesday.

Over the weekend, Trump approved a raid that captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. The two were swiftly brought back to the U.S. to stand trial on narco-terrorism and weapons charges, and have pleaded "not guilty."

Political analysts slammed a new webpage the White House published on Tuesday that offers a revision of the events that occurred during the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Trump administration created a page that tells its side of the story of Jan. 6, a day that saw thousands of people attack police officers after listening to then former President Donald Trump tell them to "fight like hell" to protect their country as Congress was set to certify the results of an election Trump lost. The webpage includes a timeline of what happened that day, which analysts quickly noted contains several inaccuracies, some of which were described as "sickening."

President Donald Trump's decision to arrest a foreign leader in a middle-of-the-night operation is as close to piracy as any president has gone, according to one analyst.

Last weekend, the Trump administration arrested Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, at the presidential palace in Caracas on narco-terrorism and weapons charges. The U.S. has flown Maduro and his wife to New York to stand trial, where the two have pleaded "not guilty."

The White House's attempt to mock the memory of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol in support of President Donald Trump could land the administration in legal jeopardy, according to one lawyer.

On Tuesday, the fifth anniversary of the riot, the White House published a website that accused Democrats of trying to incite the riot and tried to make "political examples" out of the more than 1,500 people who were arrested that day. It also includes a timeline of the day, which some analysts have noted contained several inaccuracies.

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday to rage that Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), a conservative Democrat he gave a pardon to in a federal bribery case, is still running for office as a Democrat despite the massive "favor" he gave him.

Trump had apparently expected Cuellar would either bow out of the way or switch parties for him after the pardon, which was met with shock and anger by South Texas Republicans who had been hoping to unseat him. He has been fuming ever since realizing that Cuellar didn't plan to do either of those things.

President Donald Trump made a bold declaration on Tuesday that Venezuela's interim authorities will hand over up to 50 million barrels of high-quality oil to the United States.

According to Trump's Truth Social post, the crude will be sold at market prices, with proceeds controlled directly by the president to benefit both nations.

President Donald Trump built his brand on making moves that no one else thought possible, and his latest could be his most "stunning" yet, according to one Democratic analyst.

During a press conference on Monday, Trump made a slight reference to a video of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro seemingly mocking Trump's dancing when asked about his motivation for arresting him over the weekend. The reference seemed to confirm reporting from The New York Times that Maduro's video ticked off Trump, and that was the impetus for his administration deciding to conduct the raid.
