President Donald Trump was brutally mocked on Thursday after a bizarre ad-lib during a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Trump traveled to the Silver State to stump for his "no tax on tips" policy and to hear from some voters about how it has impacted their lives. During his speech, he said his "One Big, Beautiful Bill" had lowered taxes for small businesses and "corner stores," a phrase that seemed to trip up the president.

A conservative analyst slammed the evangelical Christians in the Trump administration who seem to care more about "eating scraps from the table" than saving the president's soul after he posted an unseemly photo on his Truth Social account over the weekend.

On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted and then deleted a photo of himself appearing as Jesus Christ healing a sick man in bed. The AI-generated photo featured clear Christian iconography and images of the Statue of Liberty, military soldiers, and the American flag. It was swiftly condemned by some MAGA influencers and Democratic politicians alike as blasphemous.

President Donald Trump bashed his own public relations stunt on Thursday during a "no tax on tips" event in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Trump told attendees at the event that the recent spectacle in which a woman delivered a DoorDash McDonald's order to the White House was "a little tacky." Trump said his administration used the event to tout the successes of his domestic spending bill, which he claimed was giving people the "largest tax refunds they've ever seen."

A legal expert was blown away during a podcast episode on Thursday while discussing the Trump DOJ's efforts to help the president hide his administration's papers.

Michael Popok, host of the "Legal AF" podcast, argued in a new episode that President Donald Trump is trying to destroy the National Archives by arguing that the Presidential Records Act, the federal law that requires all of an administration's documents to be preserved, is unconstitutional. He seemed stunned when he discussed a recent memo issued by the DOJ, effectively arguing that Trump can "shred away," as Popok described.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday to personally address Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, asking the group to "act nicely" during what he called "an important period of time."

"I hope Hezbollah acts nicely and well during this important period of time," Trump wrote. "It will be a GREAT moment for them if they do. No more killing. Must finally have PEACE!"

A former official at the Kennedy Center detailed the "bizarre moves" and "cronyism" they witnessed that led to President Donald Trump's decision to close the center for two years for renovations.

Josef Palermo, who worked at the Kennedy Center for 10 months as a curator of visual arts, wrote in an essay for The Atlantic that the Kennedy Center staff knew the closure was about more than fixing issues with the physical structure. Instead, the institution's finances had become closely wedded to Trump himself. For instance, someone could purchase a $2 million box at the theatre and get a private reception with the president afterward. The center also began selling sponsorships for the first time since it opened in 1971, Palermo noted, and even renamed a donor's lounge after a CEO who was pardoned by Trump after being convicted of defrauding investors.

A legal expert shared a stark warning during a new podcast episode after a MAGA lawyer was officially disbarred in California.

Glenn Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. attorney, said on a new episode of his podcast, "Justice Matters," that MAGA attorney John Eastman's disbarment this week symbolized how continued fealty to President Donald Trump can have disastrous consequences. Eastman was disbarred by the California Supreme Court on Wednesday for his role in helping Trump obstruct the 2020 election results.

President Donald Trump fumed at a federal judge on Thursday who blocked him from being able to build his signature ballroom.

Judge Richard Leon, senior judge of the federal court in the District of Columbia, ruled on Thursday that all above-ground construction for the ballroom had to stop, but construction on a planned underground bunker could proceed. The judge also rebuked Trump for trying to "side-step" a previous order by classifying the ballroom project as a matter of national security, the BBC reported.

President Donald Trump attacked a Fox News host while he was traveling on Air Force One on Thursday.

Trump was traveling to Las Vegas, Nevada, for a "No Tax On Tips" event when he posted on Truth Social that Jessiva Tarlov, a progressive co-host of "The Five," has a "terrible and grating" voice and that she makes up stats about Trump's poll numbers for her show.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's spokesperson offered a quizzical explanation for his boss's prayer on Wednesday that sounded like it was lifted from the cult classic movie "Pulp Fiction."

During a military worship event, Hegseth read from a custom "Combat Search and Rescue" (CSAR) prayer given to him by the lead mission planner, The Daily Beast reported. Analysts and observers were quick to point out that the prayer sounded similar to the well-known "great vengeance and furious anger" monologue that Samuel L. Jackson performs as Jules Winnfield in the movie, which was inspired by the Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17.

President Donald Trump raged at New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a new Truth Social post on Thursday for allegedly "destroying" Trump's hometown.

Trump and Mamdani have squared off multiple times in the past. While Mamdani was campaigning, Trump vowed to shut off all federal funding to the state of New York. Trump also endorsed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his unsuccessful campaign against Mamdani.

A Trump-voting podcaster was baffled by the president's public relations stunt, where he had a grandmother deliver a DoorDash order to the White House to hawk his "no tax on tips" policy.

On Monday, Trump had a grandmother deliver a DoorDash order so he could tell the press about the benefits of his tax policy ahead of Tax Day. Andrew Schulz, a comedian and host of the podcast "Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh," said on Wednesday's episode that the stunt was confusing, and showed the president is not focused on deeper economic issues.
