Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao once feared that "witchcraft" was taking over the country and called himself "African American" because he lived in Africa for a period.

After Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was fired this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promoted Cao to fill the position temporarily despite controversial comments uncovered by FactPost. The report included allegations that the Vietnamese-American once asked for a KKK mask with slits cut where eye holes would be.

Donald Trump’s dabbling in crypto financial instruments is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of investors who bet on the president’s enthusiasm, only to have their pockets emptied.

According to a report from Politico, the $TRUMP memecoin has crashed 95 percent from its January 2025 peak, leaving retail investors devastated, while Trump, his family and other insiders have cashed in to the tune of approximately $320 million.

According to Politico's Declan Harty, "Eleven months ago, a gala dinner for major investors in the cryptocurrency token set off a buying frenzy from MAGA-loving crypto traders, outrage among Democrats and a headline-grabbing protest at the event. But a similar event planned for Saturday at Mar-a-Lago is highlighting a growing disenchantment with Trump's crypto ventures."

Trump's memecoin is overwhelmingly held by two entities: an affiliate of the Trump Organization and a company run by Bill Zanker, a longtime Trump business partner –– both collect fees on the memecoin's trading.

In yet another sign that things are not going well despite all his predictions that the war with Iran is about to come to a close, Donald Trump is threatening more violence in the Strait of Hormuz where the Middle Eastern country has the upper hand.

The war, which the president claims the US has already won, has now been raging since the beginning of March and, despite White House announcements of a ceasefire, it continues with constant skirmishes.

During an appearance on MS NOW on Thursday morning, Cook Political Report Senior Analyst Dave Wasserman delivered grim news to the Republican Party, with the midterm election only seven months away.

Speaking with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist, Wasserman claimed there is little at the moment that is going their way with an unpopular president and an unpopular war dragging them down to new low approval depths.

Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville was hit by a red-hot Donald Trump attack — and he hit back with better than he got.

The famed campaign mastermind schooled Trump with a basic history lesson — then challenged him to a face-to-face debate.

Donald Trump’s Iran problem is not going away and maybe worsening, and he can thank the only three people who seem to have his ear, according to the panel on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe.”

With the Strait of Hormuz still caught up in a stranglehold as a result of the president’s unprovoked war on the Middle Eastern nation, Trump has been fuming at the current state of affairs that is costing him MAGA support and has an increasing number of GOP lawmakers looking for a way to rein him in.

President Donald Trump has all the impulses of a fascist autocrat — but there's a key weakness that stands in the way of achieving his goals of reshaping the nation, historian and professor Timothy Snyder told The Daily Beast.

Specifically, he argued, Trump and his inner circle are just too greedy and distracted by their personal wealth ambitions to make the long-term decisions that would help them achieve ideological goals.

With three Cabinet members ousted by Donald Trump since March 5, a handful of Republican senators are growing anxious for several reasons that the firing hammer is about to drop on more, in part because the president is in a “bad mood” with his administration flailing.

According to a report from Politico’s Jordain Carney, four GOP lawmakers are anticipating a purge in part because the midterms are coming up and, should the GOP lose control of the Senate, confirmation hearings under a Democratic majority would be problematic at best.

CNN host Abby Phillip noted on Wednesday that President Donald Trump's administration has entered an "extraordinary" moment as his base begins to turn against him over a new conspiracy theory.

Over the last week, Trump's MAGA base has begun to speculate that the assassination attempt against the president's life in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024 may have been staged. That happened at a time when the Trump administration is facing significant criticism for its handling of the war in Iran and its collateral impact on the American economy.

A GOP strategist panned the reportedly negotiated bailout for the ailing airline Spirit Airlines by President Donald Trump's administration during a CNN segment.

Shermichael Singleton, a GOP strategist, argued on CNN's "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip that the $500 million bailout that Spirit and the Trump administration have been negotiating behind-the-scenes is a bad use of taxpayer money. The deal would include the U.S. government taking a stake in the company, which caused some of Trump's Republican colleagues to decry the president for spreading socialism.
