Critics of President Donald Trump roasted him on Wednesday night after video of a press gaggle Trump held on Air Force One was published.

Trump traveled back to the U.S. from his meetings with NATO allies in Ankara, Turkey, where he shocked and horrified some political analysts with the way he treated global leaders. During the trip, Trump spoke to reporters about a wide range of topics, including whether he should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize instead of Venezuelan opposition leader and pro-democracy activist María Corina Machado.

The lawsuit by late conservative activist Charlie Kirk's chief bodyguard against MAGA influencer Candace Owens just took a bizarre turn.

In a new order by Chief U.S. District Judge William Campbell, it was revealed that the case cannot move forward in the Middle District of Tennessee for now — because very judge who could hear the matter has recused from it.

President Donald Trump appears to have a sinister plot hidden up his sleeve, as illustrated by his latest nominee to lead Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to one lawyer.

Last week, Trump nominated Lance Schroyer, a former law enforcement officer in Oklahoma, to lead the embattled agency following Todd Lyons's departure from ICE in May. Schroyer previously worked for a special unit for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and does not appear to have any experience enforcing federal immigration law, according to reports.

President Donald Trump's administration created an illusion of peace and dealmaking for just a few weeks in his war with Iran before everything came tumbling back down to reality, the conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board wrote in an analysis published on Wednesday.

This comes after Trump proclaimed Iranian leaders were "very rational people" and started rolling back Iranian oil sanctions — moves the board said were foolish from the start. It also comes as some figures on the far right slam Trump for failing to achieve peace.

President Donald Trump seemed to cast doubt on Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's sexual assault accuser when asked by the press on his way back to Joint Base Andrews from the NATO summit in Turkey.

"Do you think the Democrats should be able to pick a replacement for Graham Platner? He's had all these new allegations that have come out now. Democrats are talking about picking a replacement for him," said a reporter. "Should they be able to do that?"

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.
