A prominent conservative journalist and commentator was taken aback by President Donald Trump’s latest rant Tuesday morning, going as far as to say that the president’s remarks marked “the beginning of the end of the U.S. empire.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump erupted at the United Kingdom over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran. Writing on social media, Trump told the United Kingdom to “build up some delayed courage” and “take” control of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route where Iran has restricted access to U.S.-aligned vessels, and that the United States has been unable to re-open by itself.

According to Financial Times columnist Ed Luce, Donald Trump spent an inordinate amount of time during their Monday interview grasping for clues on how to bring his war on Iran to a close.

Calling into MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Luce elaborated on more details from his chat with the embattled president who reportedly jumped from topic to topic.

Vice President JD Vance faced backlash online after encouraging people to pre-order his new Christian book.

"I've been writing this book for a long time, and I'm honored to finally be able to share the full story with you all," Vance explained in a social media post on Tuesday. "Communion is about my personal journey and how I found my way back to faith."

After giving a rah-rah speech about the US war on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was put on the spot by a reporter from the Daily Caller to reassure his MAGA base with rumors of a possible land invasion hanging in the air.

Toward the end of his Pentagon press conference, Hegseth was asked by conservative journalist Reagan Reese about the chokehold on oil at the Strait of Hormuz before being pressed with, “Without asking you to comment on things that you can't talk about, what is your message to Americans who love the president and strongly believe in him, but are very worried about this notion of boots on the ground?”

With the Supreme Court set to hear arguments on Wednesday about President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship guaranteed under the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough challenged far-right Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to stand up for constitutional precedent.

Speaking with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is challenging Trump administration efforts to strip citizenship from those born in the US, Scarborough noted that there should be no question about the clear language in the amendment which has been debated previously.

Comments made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the future relationship between the US and NATO that hint at a break with the peace-keeping coalition received a thorough –– and critical –– examination on MS NOW early Tuesday morning.

In an interview with Hashem Ahelbarra of Al Jazeera, the Donald Trump appointee criticized the NATO alliance for not backing the US war on Iran, and then stated, “I think it was very disappointing. You have this – and again, look, the President and our country will have to reexamine all of this after this operation is over. But one of the reasons why NATO is beneficial to the United States is it gives us basing rights for contingencies. It allows us to station troops and aircraft and weapons in parts of the world that we wouldn’t normally have bases, and that includes in much of Europe.”

President Donald Trump erupted at the United Kingdom Tuesday morning over its refusal to join the United States in its war against Iran, issuing the European nation a notice that the United States would no longer be offering it “help.”

“All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

Reacting to a Politico report that group of Jan. 6 insurrectionists have filed a lawsuit in Florida against the Capitol police officers they assaulted in Donald Trump’s name, “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough went on a furious rant on Tuesday morning that concluded with a long, drawn-out obscenity.

After co-host Mika Brzezinski noted the lawsuit seeks to “represent a class of plaintiffs that includes dozens of others present that day” who stormed the hall of Congress, the outraged Scarborough exploded.
