Trump News

While President Donald Trump made news at the World Economic Conference in Davos this week with his demand to be handed Greenland, followed by a rambling speech and the launch of his much derided “Council of Peace,“ Canada’s prime minister was lavished with the kind of praise and positive international attention the American president can only dream of.

According to Washington Post analyst Ishaan Tharoor, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s star has risen to dizzying heights after his speech at which he made the point, “Every day we’re reminded that we live in an era of great-power rivalry. That the rules-based order is fading. That the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must.”

The Trump White House has reportedly ordered federal agencies to conduct a sweeping review of funding to more than a dozen states carried by former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, a move that lawmakers from the targeted states condemned as unlawful political retaliation.

The review, first reported by RealClearPolitics, was outlined in a data request that the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sent out on Tuesday. Every federal department and agency was included in the request except for the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Cumberland County Sheriff Kevin Joyce revoked his support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations after one of his correctional officer recruits was detained.

In a Wednesday evening press conference, Joyce blasted ICE's handling of the recruit's detention in Portland, Maine.

President Donald Trump made waves this week with his address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he floated and later walked back threats to take over Greenland, but some eagle-eyed observers were instead fixated on the 79-year-old president’s physical appearance, which journalist Peter Rothpletz noted Friday appeared to be in sharp “decline.”

“Trump is all but indistinguishable from a ‘fresh-bitten’ extra straight out of makeup on the set of ‘The Walking Dead,’” Rothpletz wrote in an analysis published Friday in Zeteo.

Reacting to Republican House members’ attempt to whitewash the Jan. 6 insurrection at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, Axios founder Jim VandeHei was incredulous and furious at the GOP's ever-changing views of the Capitol cops who defended them.

During an appearance on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,“ the co-hosts shared a clip of Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) reading quotes from GOP lawmakers immediately after the Donald Trump-inspired riot at the Capitol where they praised the work of the Capitol police for saving them, and then contrasted that with their now taking the insurrectionist’s side out of fear of the president.

A discussion on the damage Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem and Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller are doing to the administration with their extremist anti-immigrant policies led a former adviser to the president to claim that Trump accepts it because he believes it helps him with bigger issues.

On MS NOW’s “Morning Joe”, co-host Joe Scarborough spoke with branding expert Donny Deutsch about Trump’s plunging poll numbers which, in large part, stem from the images of ICE agents using small children as “bait” to grab their parents, pulling women from cars and carrying them away and breaking into homes to snatch innocent people.

As a severe winter storm makes its way across the United States, President Donald Trump issued a confused statement in an attack on environmentalists, who he dubbed “environmental insurrectionists.”

“Record Cold Wave expected to hit 40 States,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “Rarely seen anything like it before. Could the Environmental Insurrectionists please explain – WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???”

President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom engaged in a public war of words this week in Davos, Switzerland, but a Washington, D.C., insider revealed the pair indulged in some friendly backstage backslapping.

Trump called out Newsom during his speech Wednesday, saying they "used to get along" in his first term, and the governor panned the address later as "remarkably boring," but later journalist Mark Haperin reported on X that the pair enjoyed a moment of "bonhomie" on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum.
