Trump News

A journalist who has written about Donald Trump for decades warned on Thursday that the president knows he is facing a "mortal threat" to his presidency, and he doesn't appear to have what it takes to shake it off.

Over the last several weeks, journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, said the president has done his best to distract from the fact that the FBI files from its investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein are still being released. Some of the files have painted Trump's relationship with the man and his accomplice, convicted sex criminal Ghislaine Maxwell, in an unsavory light.

The panel on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" melted down on Thursday night over the artworks the Department of Homeland Security has been posting on its social media accounts.

Over the last several months, DHS has been posting art that appears to reflect Nazi propaganda. For instance, the department recently posted an image of two Greenlandic mush teams with the phrase "Which Way, Greenland Man?" Heidi Beirich, a co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, told The Guardian that the art was a subtle nod to a white supremacist phrase, "Which Was Western Man?"

A law professor at Georgetown University Law Center warned in a new Substack essay that one of America's most coveted rights is "sliding" away after President Donald Trump's Department of Justice raided the home of a Washington Post reporter.

Unlike many other countries, Americans enjoy the right to know what their government is doing because of the Constitution's protections for the press, Professor Steve Vladek argued. However, he noted that protection is fragile and indirect, which is why the Trump administration's decision to raid reporter Hannah Natanson's home and seize her phone, two laptops, and a Garmin watch, The Washington Post reported.

After nearly a year and a half of promising "concepts of a plan," Trump has finally released his healthcare framework — and experts tore it to shreds.

The so-called Great Healthcare Plan landed with a thud this week, offering sweeping promises but precious little detail on how any of it would actually work, The Guardian reported Thursday. The administration claimed it would lower prescription prices and premiums while holding insurance companies accountable through transparency requirements.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is 'endangering lives" with his "insanity," warns one analyst.

Mary Trump, President Donald Trump's niece, wrote in a new Substack essay that Kennedy's decision to maneuver around the opposition of America's leading scientists in an attempt to change the country's vaccine schedule could "cause countless preventable deaths for generations to come."

President Donald Trump admitted on Thursday that he intends to keep the Nobel Peace Prize presented to him, even though it doesn't bear his name.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado traveled to Washington, D.C. on Thursday to present Trump with the Nobel Prize she won last year for her work to spread democracy in Venezuela. Trump has long coveted the Nobel Peace Prize, and some analysts saw Machado's visit as a ploy to get Trump to install her party in power over the regime of Delcy Rodríguez, who was dictator Nicolás Maduro's second-in-command before the U.S. arrested him.

The arrival of Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado at the White House on Thursday was a "stunning moment" in history, according to one CNN anchor.

Machado traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with President Donald Trump amid the U.S.'s ongoing intervention in Venezuela. Earlier this month, the U.S. captured dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, and flew them to New York to stand trial for narco-terrorism and weapons charges. The U.S. also left Maduro's second-in-command, Delcy Rodríguez, in control of the country instead of supporting Machado's opposition party, even though the latter won Venezuela's most recent election.

A Supreme Court precedent that was reaffirmed just last year may not bode well for the immigration officer who killed Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, according to a legal expert.

President Donald Trump's administration rushed to justify Good's killing shortly after the shooting occurred. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Good a "domestic terrorist" after the shooting, and Trump said she was being "disrespectful" to officers. They also accused Good of "weaponizing" her car against Ross, and provided isolated clips as video evidence. However, witness testimony and video recordings appear to contradict the government's evidence.

A Trump administration official raised more than a few eyebrows Thursday when he declared the president is creating a "new world order," using the same phrase popularized by right-wing conspiracy theorists who believe a secretive global elite is plotting to establish a totalitarian one-world government.

Kevin Hassett, a conservative economist who serves as director of the National Economic Council in the Trump administration, joined the Fox Business show "Making Money with Charles Payne," where he was asked what Americans could expect from President Donald Trump at the annual World Economic Forum held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland. The yearly get-together features global leaders from government, business, and civil society.

A propaganda expert called out President Donald Trump's administration for "taking a page from ISIS" in social media campaigns boosting its immigration operations.

Robert Page, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago, joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to dissect some recent social media posts from Trump's Department of Homeland Security, some of which seem to directly reference white nationalist and Nazi propaganda. Behind the overt references to those ideologies, Page added, there is an "even more disturbing" theme that ties them together.

A federal judge handed President Donald Trump's administration another stinging defeat in its bid to rig the 2026 midterm elections, according to a new report.

For months, Trump's Department of Justice has been trying to access state voter rolls under the guise of inspecting them for fraud. Some Democratically-controlled states have pushed back and sued the administration, while Republican-led states appeared quick to comply with the spurious demand.

A right-wing firebrand unleashed on the Trump administration Thursday amid reports the president and his circle have cozied up to Qatar.

Laura Loomer sounded the alarm on social media over what she described as a dangerous power imbalance between the United States and Qatar, claiming the Trump administration has surrendered American sovereignty to the wealthy Gulf nation.
