Trump News

Donald Trump has spent less time campaigning in early-voting states and has been showing up at sporting events, one of which was a recent UFC brawl in Las Vegas, PBS NewsHour reported.

As NewsHour's report points out, video of Trump's appearances at such sporting events get big engagement on social media, including on non-political outlets, giving him exposure that is far cheaper and easier than political rallies.

An automatic pop-up ad that showed up in Donald Trump's Truth Social feed set off a firestorm of criticism from his fans, many of who raged that a Black actor in the ad was wearing a Santa hat.

The ad, which is randomly generated in feeds on the financially troubled social media platform, features actors Leigh-Allyn Baker with a halo above her and Mark Christopher Lawrence in a red crewneck sweater wearing the Santa hat which appears to have led the MAGA fans into believing he is a Black Santa — something that once memorably infuriated former Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

A top Kremlin aide weighed in on the upcoming U.S. presidential election Friday, saying that Vladmir Putin wants a president who is going to be "more constructive" towards Russia, NBC News reported.

In an interview, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said his boss would be ready to work with “anyone who will understand that from now on, you have to be more careful with Russia and you have to take into account its concerns.”

The GOP’s presidential frontrunner Donald Trump has promised to "close the border" on his first day in office if he returns to the White House in January 2025. Many of the former president's critics have slammed him as anti-immigrant, but defenders have pointed out that two of Trump's three wives have been immigrants from Eastern Europe.

The late Ivana Trump, his first wife, was born in what is now the Czech Republic and was once communist Czechoslovakia; former First Lady Melania Trump is from Slovenia, which used to be part of the former Yugoslavia. Trump's second wife, Marla Maples, however, was from Cohutta, Georgia — roughly 110 miles from Atlanta.

Democrats have framed the 2024 presidential election as a battle for American democracy, but a new column argues that making sure Donald Trump loses is just part of that ongoing struggle.

The former president actively attempted to overturn the results in 2020 to remain in power, yet he almost certainly will be the Republican nominee next year and has promised to act as a "dictator" — at least for a day. His allies are plotting to help him seek "retribution" against his enemies, wrote New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie.

Buried deep in an analysis of all of the reasons why Donald Trump will go down to defeat against President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, a columnist suggested that history is not on his side and that the MAGA movement is winding down.

Writing for the Atlantic, Hussein Ibish of the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington explained that there are multiple roadblocks that will deny Trump a second presidency, including his extensive list of criminal trials that are casting a cloud over his campaign, his disparaging comments about the military that are resurfacing, and the fact that he is not the man he was in 2016 when he won his surprising victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump, Jr., hit out Friday at the double standard she sees being applied to Hunter Biden in the impeachment inquiry focused on his father — suggesting if it was a Trump acting in the same way, they'd be in "Gitmo."

Guilfoyle was asked on Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports about Hunter Biden's defiance of a House Republican-issued subpoena that called for him to testify at a closed-door deposition.

Kenneth Chesebro is cooperating with investigators in another case involving Donald Trump's effort to overturn his 2020 election loss, and that fresh evidence could help special counsel Jack Smith in his effort to convict the former president.

The right-wing lawyer has already pleaded guilty in Georgia, where he was among 18 co-defendants charged alongside Trump, and he has already testified there and in Michigan about the fake electors scheme he helped concoct.

More than a few questions are being raised over an invitation extended to Melania Trump to be featured at a ceremony at the National Archives which is being construed by some critics as a photo-op that could help with Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign.

According to a report from Politico's Michael Schaffer, it is "awfully strange" that Melania is the featured guest at the scheduled naturalization ceremony considering the fraught relationship between the National Archives and Donald Trump, who has been in a protracted battle over stolen documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.

According to a report from CNN, U.S. intelligence officials are searching for a missing file containing highly sensitive information about Russia as well as information about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

As the report notes, the fact that the file, also containing intel compiled by NATO allies can't be found and was last seen in the possession of former president Donald Trump. That has both senior U.S. intel officials and European allies concerned.
