President Donald Trump's stop in Ankara, Türkiye for the latest NATO summit proved that the biggest problem the world is facing is Trump himself, one columnist argued.

David Rothkopf, global affairs columnist for The Daily Beast, wrote in a new op-ed that Trump's appearance at the NATO summit was clearly uncomfortable for multiple world leaders. For instance, he noted that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni seemed hesitant to be around Trump at all after she forcibly pushed back against his claim that she begged for a photo with him. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also seemed uncomfortable as Trump described him as "difficult" to his face.

A GOP megadonor revealed at a private conference on Wednesday that he intends to back Secretary of State Marco Rubio over Vice President JD Vance should the two men decide to run for president in 2028, according to a new report.

Axios reported that Ken Griffin, CEO of Citadel LLC, said during an interview at the Allen & Company conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, that he would be "predisposed" to backing Rubio because he previously backed his failed 2016 presidential bid. Griffin, who Axios reported gave more than $100 million to Republicans in 2024, is one of the party's largest donors and has previously called for it to "move on" from Trump.

President Donald Trump demanded that the Supreme Court reverse its own birthright citizenship ruling, something the justices have done exactly once in their 236-year history.

In Trump v. Barbara, the justices voted 6-3 to uphold the 14th Amendment's guarantee of automatic citizenship for virtually every child born on U.S. soil.

A federal judge on Wednesday reluctantly signed off on a settlement that lets Elon Musk avoid a judgment against him personally in the government's securities case, saying the deal raised repeated red flags but that the law gave her little room to reject it.

The SEC sued Musk in January 2025, alleging he violated federal disclosure law by quietly amassing Twitter stock in 2022 without telling the public he intended to take over the company, a delay the agency said saved him roughly $150 million at other investors' expense. The SEC originally sought to claw back that sum.

One of President Donald Trump's most ardent supporters raged at The Daily Beast on Wednesday after the outlet published a story about a strange hand twitch that President Donald Trump suffered while boarding Air Force One.

Trump was climbing the stairs to the presidential plane when his left hand made an abrupt, jerking motion. A video of the incident was shared on social media, where several commentators chimed in about the president's poor health.

Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) is being sued by a former girlfriend over claims he violated a settlement agreement meant to silence her abuse allegations, even as he sues his ex-wife for making similar ones.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham filed the suit Tuesday in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Miller sued Grisham in 2021 after she wrote in a Washington Post op-ed that a fellow White House staffer — widely identified as him — had physically abused her, according to court records.

MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace opened her show Wednesday by rattling off what President Donald Trump had just told the world — the Iran ceasefire is over, all trade with Spain is cut off, and, in her recounting, "Japan is now apparently an Islamic republic."

She was reacting to Trump's rounds of news conferences at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, where the president mixed up Iran and Japan, claiming "111 missiles" had been fired at a U.S. aircraft carrier by the "Islamic Republic of Japan." Moments earlier, seated beside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump had gestured to him and asked reporters if they had a question for "President Putin." He also called TikTok "tic tac," branded Iran's leaders "scum," and declared the ceasefire over.

Sen. Mitch McConnell's hometown newspaper has a bone to pick with his wife, but not about the swirling rumors around his health.

In a Louisville Courier Journal column, opinion writer Joseph Gerth said he doesn't much care about the specifics of McConnell's condition, arguing the public doesn't need detailed health updates on one of 100 senators the way it would for a president. What he does want to know, however, is why Elaine Chao didn't come home.

The latest killing at the hands of President Donald Trump's immigration forces rang out a "haunting echo" in the ears of one political analyst.

On Tuesday, Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a stop in Houston, Texas. The agency claimed that the 52-year-old small business owner had "weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run over an ICE law enforcement officer," a claim that was strongly refuted by Araujo's family during a press conference on Wednesday.
