The conservative editorial board for the National Review delivered choice words regarding President Donald Trump’s strategy to charge U.S. taxpayers $230 million over his prosecution for alleged criminal behavior.

“Donald Trump is in the odd position, by his own admission, of ‘suing myself,’” the Board notes. “It’s a case he should drop. … Trump reached for whatever legal levers he could grasp to fight back."

Economist Paul Krugman said President Donald Trump’s removal of a whole White House wing is typical Trumpian style: an “act of vandalism" being paid for by large corporate donors — mostly tech and crypto companies — seeking to buy Trump’s favor.

“I am sure there will be a Trump meme-coin dispenser installed on every table,” Krugman said.

Ten former leaders of Caribbean nations on Friday called on the current governments across the region to unite in a diplomatic effort to counter President Donald Trump’s unprovoked escalation, in which the US has struck at least 10 vessels in less than two months, claiming without evidence that the Trump administration is fighting “narco-terrorists” from Venezuela.

Former prime ministers of Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, and St. Lucia signed a joint statement titled “Caribbean Space: A Zone of Peace on Land, Sea and Airspace Where the Rule of Law Prevails,” and called on current leaders to recall the 1972 regional meeting at Chaguaramas, Trinidad and Tobago.

President Donald Trump deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford to the Caribbean as part of his ongoing war with what he calls "narco-terrorists" in the country. The bombing of unidentified boats in the waters off the coast of North and South America is entering "war crimes territory," one Pentagon reporter said on Friday.

There have been 10 "known" bombings of boats killing nearly four dozen people, The New York Times reported Friday.

President Donald Trump's favorability with Hispanics has nosedived by 19 percentage points over the past 10 months, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center poll results released Friday, The Hill reported.

A whopping 73 percent of Hispanic voters disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job — compared to just 27 percent who approve, the poll found. The Hill noted that "the results come as the Hispanic population has been targeted by some immigration enforcement officials for stops."

President Donald Trump's ramped-up hostilities with Venezuela drew a stern warning Friday from an unlikely source — the staunchly conservative National Review.

"It would be a colossal mistake for the president to glide listlessly into a war in South America for which he sought no public support or congressional buy-in," Noah Rothman, senior writer for the magazine, admonished Trump. "There is no legal basis for such an operation in the absence of an attack on U.S. assets or personnel.

President Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff didn't discount the idea of sending American soldiers to fight on the ground in Venezuela.

Speaking to the press on Friday, Stephen Miller was asked, "Would the administration consider putting troops on the ground in any capacity in Venezuela?"

President Donald Trump's new Time magazine cover has drawn a "chilling" similarity to a historic Nazi image, according to a report.

The portrait of Trump, released online Friday ahead of the print version, shows Trump behind his Oval Office desk, leaning forward with his hands under his chin in "a power pose that obscures his often bruised right hand and his loose neck skin," according to The Daily Beast. A headline above reads "TRUMP'S WORLD." Steven Voss, a Washington-based photographer, shot the photo.

President Donald Trump will likely name his giant gold ballroom after himself, an ABC News reporter posted Friday on X.

The move prompted swift backlash from those who are already furious to see Trump take a bulldozer to the most well-known building in America.

President Donald Trump will "likely" name his massive ballroom after himself, a senior administration official told Katherine Faulders, ABC News' Washington managing editor covering politics.

According to the official, the staff is already calling it "The President Donald J. Trump Ballroom."

Federal immigration agents were seen deploying teargas during operations in Lakeview, a wealthy Chicago neighborhood.

A video circulating on social media on Friday afternoon showed an agent rolling a teargas canister out of a vehicle window as it backed away from onlookers.

In the past, lawmakers have approved conditions for government shutdowns, ensuring that national security and the military are still paid despite the closure. That didn't happen during this government shutdown. So, President Donald Trump came up with a ploy to dodge Congress's decision not to approve military and national security funding.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 ensured retroactive pay for federal employees affected by any appropriations lapses beginning on or after Dec. 22, 2018. It leaves them hanging in the interim, however.
