A former federal prosecutor ripped Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday for comments he made about President Donald Trump.

During a recent press conference, Blanche told reporters that he "loved" working for Trump and that it would be an honor to serve the administration as attorney general or any other position Trump puts Blanche in. However, it was a comment he made at the end of his answer that stuck in the mind of Glenn Kirschner, a former deputy U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C.

President Donald Trump stunned political observers and analysts on Thursday by officially endorsing Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán for reelection.

Trump posted on Truth Social that Orbán is a "truly strong and powerful Leader, with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results" and urged voters to support him during the April 12 election. Trump's post came at a time when Orbán, who has been in office for the past 16 years, is facing one of his toughest reelection bids yet.

President Donald Trump lashed out at a federal court after it denied his bid to end Temporary Protected Status for certain immigrants on Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy of the District of Massachusetts ruled that the Department of Homeland Security didn't properly move to terminate TPS for the immigrants. Tens of thousands of Ethiopians were let into the country in 2022 under the Biden administration because of an armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in the country. Courts have also blocked Trump's attempts to end TPS for Haitian immigrants.

A political commentator excoriated Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for lying to the American people to cover for President Donald Trump in a new reaction video.

David Pakman, who hosts the progressive YouTube show, "The David Pakman Show," called out Leavitt's latest "massive dump of lies" about the Strait of Hormuz in a new video on Thursday. The Strait has been effectively closed since the U.S. and Israel began bombing Iran in late February, which has led to a sharp spike in oil prices. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post that the Strait would be reopened as part of a two-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran, a deal that Iran appears to be violating, according to another one of Trump's Truth Social posts.

David Rothkopf, a columnist with The Daily Beast, floated a new theory about why first lady Melania Trump gave seemingly unprompted remarks about her relationship with disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday afternoon.

Trump held a press conference where she declared that the "lies" about her relationship with Epstein "need to stop." Her comments came at a time when the Trump administration is trying to navigate a wave of criticism over its handling of the war in Iran.

President Donald Trump accused Iran of subverting the two-week ceasefire agreement he announced on Tuesday.

In a new Truth Social post, Trump said Iran is doing a "very poor job" of allowing oil to travel through the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that accounts for 20% of the global energy trade. One of the conditions of the ceasefire was that Iran would let ships through the Strait of Hormuz to ease the recent spike in energy prices resulting from the war.

President Donald Trump's Department of Justice was mocked by political analysts and observers on Thursday for its "insane" attempt to get back at a "special club" that rejected the president years ago.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump's DOJ has launched an antitrust investigation into the NFL for allegedly harming consumers by allowing games to be streamed on platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Trump tried several times unsuccessfully to purchase an NFL team between the 1980s and 2010s. His bid to purchase the Baltimore Colts before the team relocated to Indianapolis was rejected by the team's late owner, Jim Irsay. In 2014, banks refused to lend Trump money in his quest to purchase the Buffalo Bills, according to reports.

President Donald Trump howled at the Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board on Thursday after they published an editorial calling his declared victory in the war on Iran "premature."

On Wednesday, the editorial board warned Trump that it was "too early" to declare victory in the conflict, considering that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and Iran continues to attack U.S. allies in the region. Trump responded in a fiery Truth Social post, saying the editors will "eat their words."

President Donald Trump raged on Thursday at reports that Iran is charging tolls to ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump's comments came at a time when Iran and the U.S. have agreed to a two-week ceasefire as they discuss ending the war. Multiple outlets have reported that one of the 10 points in Iran's proposed deal is the ability to charge up to $2 million per ship in tolls to fund its rebuilding efforts.

Podcaster Joe Rogan sounded off against President Donald Trump's war in Iran on Thursday during a new episode of his popular show, "The Joe Rogan Experience."

Rogan and his guest, comedian Duncan Trussell, sharply criticized the war in Iran during the episode. At one point, Trussell said he felt "stupid" for believing Trump when he claimed that he would not start any new wars during the 2024 campaign. He described the war as the "same old bulls---" that MAGA voters have grown tired of, and supported Trump because he seemed to represent the opposite.
