Trump News

President Donald Trump took issue Tuesday with a new MAGA-approved CBS Evening News anchor, resorting at one point during a lengthy interview to coaching up the journalist on how to do his job.

In a sometimes tense interview, Trump railed against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and tried to school new anchor Tony Dokoupil on proper journalism.

Justification for the killing of 37-year-old mother Renee Good floated by right-wing pundits got to be a too far-fetched for even conservative former CNN anchor Piers Morgan, who bristled at one such attempt on the latest episode of his YouTube show, "Piers Morgan Uncensored."

Morgan discussed Good's killing by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Jonathan Ross with Nick Shirley, a right-wing YouTuber who shot to fame after making a viral video about fraud in Minneapolis, Tim Miller of "The Bulwark Podcast," former Fox News host Geraldo Rivera, and MAGA lawyer Will Chamberlain during the episode.

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board had a dire assessment of Trump's current economy: he's effectively fiddling while it burns, rather than deliver on any of the GOP's more conservative, growth-focused policies.

"Regarding prices, the consumer-price index came in somewhat hotter than expected with an increase of 0.3% in December and 2.7% over the past 12 months. Overall inflation isn’t rising, but it also isn’t coming down. Increases last month were especially notable for categories of goods and services that Americans buy on a regular basis like shelter (0.4%), medical care (0.4%), food (0.7%) and energy bills (1%)."

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the U.S. is prepared to take "strong action" against Iran if the Iranian government hangs protesters tomorrow, as the nation's state media has reported, and insinuated new CBS Evening News Anchor Tony Dokoupil would be "very happy" with the U.S. response.

Anti-government protests have been going on in Iran for more than two weeks, according to reports. In response, the Iranian government instituted an internet blackout in the country and began attacking protesters with military troops. Human rights advocacy groups estimate that between 12,000 and 20,000 protesters have been killed during the events

President Donald Trump made a blistering threat during his one-on-one interview with CBS News' Tony Dokoupil on Tuesday in Detroit.

Trump traveled to Michigan to speak to the Detroit Economic Club on Tuesday. The trip also included a pit stop at the Ford manufacturing plant, where Trump was seen yucking it up with factory workers. During the visit, Trump also gave a wide-ranging interview to CBS News and made some eyebrow-raising comments.

President Donald Trump was confronted Tuesday on "CBS Evening News" with comments from the grieving father - a longtime Trump supporter - of Renee Nicole Good by the new MAGA-approved anchor Tony Dokoupil.

After a tough first week in which Dokoupil saw ratings plummet of the storied program and the new host fumbled his first broadcast, Dokoupil pressed the president about the administration's swift characterization of Good as a "domestic terrorist," asking what Trump would say to her heartbroken father.

President Donald Trump ambushed some federal prosecutors during a recent photoshoot and called them "weak" for not prosecuting his foes quickly enough, according to a new report.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that dozens of U.S. attorneys were at the White House for a photoshoot last Thursday with Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi. During the exchange, Trump called the prosecutors "ineffective." That occurred one day before prosecutor Jeanine Pirro of the Washington, D.C. office subpoenaed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over comments he made to a Senate committee last summer, according to the report.

Comments Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made about President Donald Trump's diet during a new interview on a right-wing podcast caused the host to burst out laughing.

On Tuesday, Kennedy appeared on Katie Miller's eponymous podcast, where she often discusses soft life and culture topics with right-wing figures. Previous guests include Elon Musk, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

A GOP senator was roundly mocked on Tuesday after he "said the corrupt part out loud" about President Donald Trump's latest fight with the Federal Reserve.

On Sunday, the New York Times reported that the Trump administration had quietly opened an investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell over his handling of the central bank's $2.5 billion headquarters renovation project. Experts have speculated that the investigation is an attempt to push Powell out so Trump can install a loyalist who will lower interest rates at Trump's whim.

CNN host Jake Tapper was taken aback by comments from a Republican senator on his program on Tuesday evening.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) joined Tapper on "The Lead" on Tuesday, where the two discussed the recent pushback to President Donald Trump's immigration raids after 37-year-old mother Renee Good was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent last week. Marshall's support for the immigration raids was unsurprising, but one comment he made about Good seemed to catch Tapper's ear.

President Donald Trump's niece revealed on Tuesday what is driving her uncle's recent spate of "desperate moves."

Mary Trump, an author and psychologist, argued in a new Substack essay that the president's recent moves to threaten Greenland, take military action against Venezuela, and threaten a series of other countries are "desperate" on their face, but also reveal something deeply disturbing about her uncle's personality. She added that elected officials have a duty to "stop the madness" before it's too late.

President Donald Trump threatened yet another foreign leader on Tuesday during a press gaggle at Joint Base Andrews after returning to Washington, D.C. from a brief trip to Detroit.

Earlier in the day, Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said his country would rather stay as part of Denmark than become part of the U.S. Nielsen's comments come at a time when Trump has upped the ante against Greenland, saying the U.S. needs to control the island nation for its own national security.
