Mere moments after President Donald Trump took to social media Friday to complain about having “lost” India to China, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman delivered a vicious snub to the Trump administration on an issue that has sparked the president’s fury.

The Trump administration has slapped India with its highest tariff rate of 50%; a 25% baseline tariff, and an additional 25% secondary tariff as a penalty for its continued purchasing of Russian oil. Trump was reportedly “completely upset” with India over its refusal to halt its purchasing of Russian oil, and Friday, bemoaned the two countries’ “lost” relationship.

President Donald Trump has been consistently losing support for his handling of the economy, and he's in danger of getting sucked into the same loop that doomed his predecessor.

Americans' negative attitude toward the economy during Joe Biden's presidency often conflicted with good-to-great economic data and ultimately helped drive him out of the 2024 race and cost Democrats a shot at congressional majorities, and Axios reported that Republicans are worried about suffering the same fate.

Donald Trump's White House announced a decision that is in violation of the law, according to a former George W. Bush adviser.

Fox News posted an "exclusive" report on Thursday, suggesting that the White House had announced "it will bring back the Department of War name for the Department of Defense." Although Trump himself has mused about this move, it is the first of the official signs such a change might actually happen.

President Donald Trump “may have violated the law” according to a bombshell report Thursday that revealed the president had personally greenlit a covert military operation targeting North Korea.

According to two dozen government officials and military personnel who spoke with the New York Times, Trump had signed off in 2019 on an operation to deploy SEAL Team 6’s Red Squadron – the same unit that carried out the 2011 assassination of Osama Bin Laden – to the shores of North Korea to plant an electronic device to intercept the communications of its Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un.

A conservative commentator's argument was belittled by another panelist after he defended President Donald Trump's decision to rename the Department of Defense.

The president intends to sign an executive order changing the agency's name to the Department of War, which it had been called from 1789 until its 1947 reorganization, and panelists on "CNN This Morning" debated the purpose and meaning of Trump's plans – which he might not even be able to do without congressional action.

President Donald Trump lamented what he characterized as the "loss" of India and Russia to China Friday morning following the Chinese summit this week, and in a social media post, sarcastically gave the two countries his blessing and well wishes for their “long and prosperous future together.”

“Looks like we’ve lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest, China,” Trump wrote in an online post on his social media platform Truth Social. “May they have a long and prosperous future together!”

President Donald Trump heaped insults on a longtime nemesis after the individual announced his retirement from Congress.

The president has sparred with Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) since the 1980s, first clashing over Manhattan development projects, and especially during his first term, when the veteran lawmaker helmed articles of impeachment through the House Judiciary Committee, and Trump laid into him in a Friday morning social media post.

Conservative lawyer George Conway revealed that President Donald Trump appears to be feeling significant pressure from the renewed attention on the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Conway joined The Bulwark's publisher, Sara Longwell, on the podcast "George Conway Explains It All (to Sarah Longwell)" to discuss Trump's recent moves since the press conference survivors of Epstein's crimes held at the U.S. Capitol this week. Since then, Trump has called the Epstein files a "Democrat hoax that just won't go away." He's also made a series of other seemingly rash decisions that Conway argued meant he was feeling the heat.
