Trump loves the 'gruesome pictures' of ICE brutality: former adviser

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.

Author reveals the bond that binds Trump and Pete Hegseth

President Donald Trump and his Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, appear to have a special bond, and one author who has written about Trump for several decades revealed why that is during a new interview.

Hegseth has seemed like a unicorn in the Trump world because he has generated negative press coverage for the administration and has not yet been removed from his job. For instance, Hegseth was at the center of the Signalgate scandal last year, where plans of a U.S. strike against the Houthis in Yemen were leaked to The Atlantic. Hegseth has also found himself in the middle of the Trump administration's lethal strikes against suspected drug boats, which have killed more than 120 people.
