President Donald Trump dropped a wild statement about peace Thursday evening that left observers scratching their heads.

Trump fielded questions about his polarizing "Board of Peace" initiative for Gaza as he returned to the United States after appearing at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The Gaza scheme comes with a hefty $1 billion price tag for permanent membership.

President Donald Trump appears to have unleashed a "Nazi problem" in the U.S. that won't disappear anytime soon, according to one journalist.

Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, penned a new op-ed for The Guardian in which he argued that the Trump administration has overtly adopted Nazi propaganda techniques. He cited the use of certain phrases that seem to harken back to Nazi slogans and imagery shared on government social media accounts.

A federal judge appeared less than credulous on Thursday that the Trump administration has the authority to build his massive new ballroom on the footprint of the demolished East Wing.

According to CBS News, "U.S. District Judge Richard Leon heard arguments Thursday on a motion brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to block the ongoing construction of the East Wing until the Trump administration goes through the appropriate approval processes, which it alleges the Trump administration has ignored."

President Donald Trump's comments about 9/11 during his speech at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday rankled America's allies in Europe, according to a new report.

During the speech, Trump asserted that America's NATO allies stayed "a little off the front lines" in Afghanistan when the coalition joined U.S. forces to combat Al-Qaeda following the 9/11 attacks. Trump also questioned whether NATO would come to the U.S.'s defense again if it were called upon.

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board warned President Donald Trump on Thursday that his "bulldozing" will cost his party its majority after the midterm elections.

Trump has been on a warpath over the last week, threatening U.S. allies with invasion unless Denmark annexes Greenland to the U.S. and approving an operation to abduct Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. Those moves appear to be part of Trump's political brand, where he seems to steamroll his opponents with no recourse. But voters seem to be tiring of that, and Trump ought to take heed ahead of the midterm election, warned the Journal editors in a new editorial.

The latest in a series of congressional efforts to rein in President Donald Trump’s military aggression against Venezuela failed Thursday as Republican lawmakers again defeated a war powers resolution by the tightest possible margin.

House lawmakers voted 215-215 on H.Con.Res.68—introduced last month by Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.)—which “directs the president to remove US armed forces from Venezuela unless a declaration of war or authorization to use military force for such purpose has been enacted.”

President Donald Trump was all set to unveil a new plan to allow Americans to dip into their 401(k) retirement accounts to make down payments on houses, and he had some key figures in the GOP on his side like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO).

But all of a sudden, he is now against the idea.

President Donald Trump's civil rights attorney astounded a legal expert on Thursday after she boosted a bet on the prediction market Polymarket about her ability to prosecute a journalist.

Harmeet Dhillon, Trump's deputy attorney general for the DOJ's civil rights division, reposted a Polymarket bet on X about former CNN anchor Don Lemon being indicted in connection with a Minnesota church protest. The Department of Justice made multiple arrests related to the protest earlier in the day, and the Trump administration has weighed charging Lemon under the KKK Act for seeking to deprive others of their rights.

A top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee revealed a startling aspect of the hearing on Thursday with former special counsel Jack Smith during an interview on CNN.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) joined CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" to discuss Smith's hearing, which included several bombshell moments. Before the hearing began, a right-wing operative and a former Capitol police officer nearly got into a fistfight. Republicans on the committee also staged several confrontations with Smith during the hearing, accusing him of acting on political motives and other misdeeds.

President Donald Trump raged at another one of his political foes in a Truth Social post on Thursday.

"Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is worth over $30 Million Dollars. There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician," Trump wrote. "She should be investigated for Financial and Political Crimes, and that investigation should start, NOW!"

Political analysts and observers were outraged on Thursday after a nonprofit newsroom published an explosive report about one of President Donald Trump's allies.

The Florida Bulldog published a copy of the House Ethics Committee's final report concerning its investigation into allegations that former Rep. Matt Gaetz sex trafficked minors. Gaetz was never formally charged by the Department of Justice in the case, although one close associate, Joel Greenberg, pled guilty to sex trafficking charges and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Greenberg also worked with House investigators during their probe, according to reports.
