Trump News

On Thursday morning, newly-anointed "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire relayed to a national TV audience concerns from the editorial board of Nevada's largest paper that Donald Trump is mentally unfit to lead the country.

On Wednesday, the Las Vegas Sun went where the Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post wouldn't go and alerted their readers that the former president is "not healthy enough to become the oldest president ever inaugurated after canceling numerous public appearances due to exhaustion and struggling to complete sentences when he does show up."

The entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" lit into Donald Trump on Thursday morning over new comments he made about controlling women's lives –– and then tied him to the death of a pregnant woman in Texas.

During Trump's rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Wednesday night, he followed up on his previous boast that he is a "protector" of women, and told the crowd of MAGA diehards, "I want to protect the people, I want to protect the women of our country, I want to protect the women, " before adding, "Well, I’m going to do it whether the women like it or not.”

According to political analyst Mark Leibovich, Donald Trump's campaign may not have time to recover from the stumbles of the past week with less than a week before voters head to the polls.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Way Too Early," the Atlantic columnist was asked by host Jonathan Lemire what direction voters appear to be going and Leibovich noted the former president's much-maligned Madison Square Garden rally was a setback from which he has little to no time to recover from.

"Well, I mean, I think Trump's closing argument has been really muddled, as you kind of would expect," he told the host. "He is a muddled messenger at this point."

"The Madison Square Garden event the other day has really hobbled him at the end," he then added. "It's not the kind of thing –– I don't care how glib they are about it –– that you want to be talking about in the final days. It is an ugly message."

"You can say the Access Hollywood thing in 2016 he survived, but this was uglier. It was a sanctioned, current political event that is fresh in everyone's mind," he added.

Larry Hogan, former Maryland governor and current Republican Senate candidate, has repeatedly said he would not vote for Donald Trump this year and didn't vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020. And in June, Hogan said he had "no interest" in Trump's endorsement, stressing that Trump's support would not be promoted by his campaign.

But a new CNN report shows Hogan did just that behind the scenes in a call to donors.

Public health experts reacted with alarm Wednesday to reports that former President Donald Trump promised anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. control over federal agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Agriculture should the Republican nominee defeat Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in next week's election.

Speaking at last week's bigotry-laden campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, Trump said that if he wins, he'll let Kennedy—who in August suspended his Independent presidential campaign and endorsed the GOP nominee—"go wild on health."

An editor at The Atlantic argued Wednesday night that former President Donald Trump is using unsavory language to "bait critics" as part of his closing argument.

Isabel Fattal noted Trump's so-called "closing argument isn't a closing argument at all." Rather, she said, it's an "invitation" meant to distract Vice President Kamala Harris from her final pitch.

A stunned CNN anchor tried to push back on an ally of former President Donald Trump who tried to falsely insist that vaccines are unsafe and contribute to autism.

Howard Lutnick, co-chair of the Trump-Vance Transition team, joined anchor Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday night to discuss what a second term would look like should Trump win re-election.

A New York Times columnist wants Arab-Americans frustrated at the Israel-Hamas war to know he shares their pain — but that turning their back on the election and letting former President Donald Trump win will make everything much worse.

The lack of progress on peace in the region, as the U.S. tries to broker ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas but continues to supply weapons to Israel, has led a number of prominent Arab and Muslim leaders to reject the Democratic Party out of anger over President Joe Biden's lack of course correction — and many see Vice President Kamala Harris as complicit.

The Supreme Court just went out of its way to step on voting rights and overrule a pair of courts that credibly found Virginia violated federal law, a columnist wrote Wednesday in The Washington Post.

The issue concerns a move by GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin to identify and remove "non-citizens" from voter rolls in Virginia — a process that would generally be legal and required, but that cannot be conducted in the "quiet period" 90 days before an election, under the National Voter Registration Act, because it doesn't give legal voters enough time to correct the issue if they are removed in error.

A CNN poll expert on Wednesday night flagged what he called "a bit of a warning sign" in a key battleground state that could decide the election.

John King, an anchor and chief national correspondent for CNN, joined Anderson Cooper on his "AC360" to discuss a poll of likely voters showing Vice President Kamala Harris up by 6 points in Wisconsin and 5 points in Michigan — but tied with former President Donald Trump at 48% in Pennsylvania.

Former President Donald Trump engaged in a bizarre stunt ahead of his rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday: riding around in a garbage truck with his campaign logo printed on the side of it.

The truck was meant to draw attention to the campaign's grievance over President Joe Biden supposedly referring to Trump's supporters as "garbage" on a campaign call Tuesday evening. There is some dispute over what he said, and the White House has sought to clarify the "garbage" he referred to was the rhetoric of right-wing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. The joke outraged many and sent the GOP into panic mode.

Former President Donald Trump, notoriously sensitive about the size of his crowds, was trolled by a gleeful spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday.

James Singer took to X at about 6:30 p.m. to share a video from NBC News political reporter Matt Dixon at the Resch Center in Ashwaubenon outside Green Bay.

Republicans may have plenty of self-reflection to do if former President Donald Trump loses — but they might have an even greater reckoning to face if he wins, a longtime anti-Trump GOP pollster and focus grouper warned Wednesday.

Sarah Longwell argued in The Bulwark that fellow anti-Trump Republicans in positions of power, from politicians to retired military leaders, may live to regret not doing more to stop a man they know is dangerous.
