Conservative columnist Matt Lewis has brought down MAGA's wrath on himself in a surprising way.

On Wednesday, Lewis tweeted a video link to his interview with The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols, adding the caption, “It's a GREAT time to be alive. So why are so many Americans depressed and convinced that things have never been worse ?!?”

Amid the controversy of Donald Trump endorsing, promoting, and reportedly earning royalties from the "God Bless the USA Bible," Lee Greenwood, the creator of the book, is speaking out to defend the ex-president.

He says there's no difference between when Trump took the presidential oath of office by placing his hand on a bible, and now endorsing Greenwood's version of the book, which sells for $59.99.

If Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis wants to get a conviction in Donald Trump's Georgia election interference trial, she should either resign from the case or recuse herself, according to Democratic attorney Julian Epstein.

Epstein, the former Democratic Chief Counsel at the House Judiciary Committee, made the comments during an appearance on the Fox News' The Brian Kilmeade Show, saying that if Willis had "any real interest in this case," she would immediately "resign or recuse herself from it."

In the waning days of former President Donald Trump's first term, he weighed a plan to install DOJ official Jeffrey Clark as his acting attorney general, only to apparently decide against it after the threat of mass resignations at the DOJ convinced him it would backfire.

However, Politico reports that an attorney representing Clark is now claiming that Trump really did appoint him to be acting AG, only to rescind the appointment shortly afterward.

Former President Donald Trump's recent attacks on the daughter of the man heading his New York criminal court trial has spurred a dark reminder that one of his supporters is suspected of having killed a judge's child before.

Video that went viral on X Friday shows New Jersey federal Judge Esther Salas detailing the moment Roy Den Hollander — an attorney who once tried to sue a slate of journalists over their negative coverage of Trump — is believed to have arrived on her doorstep with a gun.

Donald Trump's widely covered attendance of a wake for a slain NYPD officer may have a positive effect on the jury for his upcoming criminal trial and could result in a hung jury, according to a former federal prosecutor.

Bill Shipley, who represents a number of Jan. 6 defendants, said that Trump's New York business fraud trial could result in a hung jury thanks to his attending the wake of officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop Monday.

The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's hush money case might will overlook the former president's attacks on his daughter to avoid delaying the trial, an expert said Friday.

Judge Juan Merchan imposed a gag order on the former president Tuesday that limits what he can say publicly about certain individuals involved in his case — the spirit of which Trump tested by attacking the judge's daughter by name in a social media post.

Donald Trump's megalomania will either spell "electoral calamity" for Republicans in the 2024 election or the beginning of American carnage the likes of which the world has never seen, an expert on neoconservatives said Friday.

Jacob Heilbrunn, author of "America Last: The Right’s Century-Long Romance with Foreign Dictators," raised his serious concerns with Salon Friday over the Republicans who have lined up behind a presumptive nominee he warns could dismantle democracy at home and abroad.

Donald Trump continued to use the killing of a New York City police officer as a campaign opportunity, declaring on Friday that mourners showed him "love" at Thursday's wake, while he attacked Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton for not attending the event or calling the victim's family.

"I support the police, I would say at the highest level by far, maybe double or triple," Trump told Fox News' Brian Kilmeade from his private jet (video below).

The effects of former President Donald Trump's campaign finance problems are already beginning to flare up in one of the nation's most hotly contested 2024 battleground states.

According to The Detroit News, "Democrats plan to have 30 campaign offices open in Michigan by mid-April, a strategy they say shows the strength of their ground game in a battleground state that could be key to President Joe Biden's reelection bid. The offices will serve as organizing hubs for volunteers, according to a Friday morning announcement from the Michigan Democratic Party and Biden's campaign."

A conservative strategist who actively opposes Donald Trump made the case Friday for President Joe Biden to target him with "fat jokes" — raising questions about how ugly and low the 2024 presidential campaign might become.

Stuart Stevens, a former strategist for Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and a member of the Never Trump group the Lincoln Project, delivered on CNN his pitch for body shaming the presumptive Republican nominee and former president.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) is one of the most loyal MAGA footsoldiers. He has been tapped as a shortlister for former President Donald Trump's running mate for 2024, and has refused to commit to certifying election results that go against Trump if serving in that role.

But he wasn't always like this.

As hopes for an alternative to Donald Trump for the GOP's 2024 nomination for president fade, billionaire donors who once slammed him for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot are reevaluating their support — and The Washington Post reports many are returning to the Trump fold.

An example is billionaire and GOP megadonor Nelson Peltz, who called the Capitol riot a "disgrace" and expressed regret that he voted for Trump. But, according to The Post, Peltz recently had dinner with Trump in Palm Beach. In a subsequent interview with another news outlet, Peltz said that he would "probably" vote for Trump in 2024.
