Trump News

Donald Trump is losing control over the unstable MAGA base as his violent rhetoric pushes past the brink of sanity, and the proof is a decapitated federal worker’s head, a new analysis contends.

Salon’s Amanda Marcotte Thursday took a hard look at the disturbing news to come out of Pennsylvania Tuesday night when Justin Mohn, 33, posted YouTube video demanding violence against the government with his dead father’s head in full view.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have spent $250,000 of donor money while losing a lawsuit against Christopher Steele in London.

On Thursday, a high court dismissed Trump's request for damages after Steele's firm compiled a dossier about Trump during the 2016 election. Among other things, the dossier accused Trump of participating in sex parties and hiring prostitutes in Russia.

According to the latest FEC filing from Donald Trump's Save America PAC, not only has it paid out $27 million to cover the former president's legal fees as it burns through cash, but it has also funneled more than $100K to Melania Trump's stylist since last July.

In August, it was reported that long-time Melania stylist Herve Pierre Braillard was the recipient of $108,000 in fees and, despite reports that the former president and his related PACs are spending more than they are taking in, those fees have continued unabated.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday, one of Donald Trump's former national advisors warned that returning the former president to the Oval Office would be a grave mistake that would haunt the country — and the world — for years.

Speaking with co-host Mika Brzezinski, former Trump official John Bolton explained that he had no doubt the former president would try and gut NATO by withdrawing U.S. support because he doesn't understand geopolitics or the dangers such a move would create at all.

After watching a clip of Trump disparaging NATO, Bolton told the MSNBC host, "I think Trump actually says what comes to mind. As a very astute person once said to me, he doesn't have a filter between his brain and his mouth."

"So when he, for example, threatens to get out of NATO, as he did during his first term and has done since then, I think people better believe it, and I think that would be a catastrophic mistake for American national security and the security of the west as a whole" he added.

"In the clip you just ran, he said several things that are simply incorrect," he asserted. "And it reveals an important trait about Trump on national security issues and many others: he is fundamentally ignorant. He really doesn't care about the facts. He thinks international relations are about personal relations, which is a line and approach that I can tell you, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are eagerly looking forward to."

As part of a panel discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," one political analyst pointed out that Donald Trump is taking on damage now that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) is making her case that he is growing "senile," while another added there does seem to be evidence "he is losing it."

Reflecting on Haley ramping up her much more personal attacks on the former president, analyst Elise Jordan told co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, "She has been able to make headway with that message. That, no, Donald Trump is not just crazy, he actually is senile too."

"She's been making headway with that message, and she's gotten in some pretty good hits," she added. "Over the past — you know, since New Hampshire happened — what good hits has Donald Trump gotten in on Nikki Haley? He hasn't been able to attack her effectively. He hasn't been able to define her in the way he was with Ron DeSantis."

That led co-host Scarborough to contribute, "He's in a position he's not usually in where he is not striking back as aggressively. He's got two women that have just, let's face it, they pounded him in the pocketbook, pounded him politically. So he's keeping his mouth shut on E. Jean Carroll who just won $83 million from him. Really, for the most part, not going after Nikki Haley as aggressively as he would want to because he's got his campaign people going, 'Please, please, the less you say, like the easier our job is, Donald. Just keep your mouth shut.'"

"I think that it is certainly that," replied MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton. "But I also think that it goes with the fact that he's losing it. Because let's not forget, he ran against a woman in '16 named Hillary Clinton, and he had no problem. He's losing it."

"I mean, you've known him for a long time. So when you say he's losing it, like, you know it," Scarborough interjected.

"He's losing it. His instinct is to fight back, punch back, and he would think, back in those days, that he was thinking clearer, if you want to ever call what he thought was clear," Sharpton continued. "But he'd fight back and say, 'They hit me. I can hit back.'"

"It reminded me, I was blessed in my younger days to know Muhammad Ali. Ali told me one day toward the end of his career, 'I saw the openings, and I just couldn't get the punch there. I couldn't,' he said, 'I knew where to go, Sharpton, but I couldn't get the punch there,'" he continued before adding, "The openings are there for Trump. He can't get there, his mind is not there anymore. They need to take him out of the ring before he gets knocked out."

Former US president Donald Trump met leaders of one of the country's largest labor unions on Wednesday as he seeks the backing of blue-collar America in his bid for a stunning White House return.

The sit-down with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in Washington came with Trump, a Republican, hoping to leach away support for Democratic President Joe Biden among manual laborers as the pair look set for a rematch in November's election.
