A former presidential envoy said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump signaled the U.S. plans to escalate the war in Iran during his primetime address to the nation.

Trump spoke for about 19 minutes on Wednesday, where he addressed a lot of outstanding questions people have been asking about the war in Iran, which has gone on for about five weeks. Trump said the U.S. is nearing completion of its objectives in the war, and called on the rest of the world to figure out how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which the Iranian regime has effectively blocked since the war began.

Political analysts and observers were outraged on Wednesday after a video of President Donald Trump's faith advisor comparing him to Jesus.

Trump hosted an Easter event at the White House with evangelical groups. The event was supposed to be private, but Trump's speech was posted on the White House's YouTube channel until it was made private later in the day. At one point, Trump's faith advisor, Paula White-Cain, compared Trump to Jesus because the two men had been "betrayed and arrested and falsely accused."

President Donald Trump befuddled the nation on Wednesday with a strange rant about the war in Iran, in which many observers remarked very little was said that was new.

Trump gave his first national address since the war started about five weeks ago. He spoke about the progress made in the war and said the U.S. has "nearly completed" all of its objectives. He also made several astonishing claims, such as calling on NATO allies to purchase oil from the U.S. or "take it" from the Strait of Hormuz and describing Iran as one of the world's great powers.

President Donald Trump gave NATO allies a stark ultimatum during his national address on Wednesday night.

The speech was the first address Trump has given since the war in Iran started about five weeks ago. Trump addressed the progress of the war and claimed the U.S. is "nearing completion" of its objectives. He also told NATO allies that they have two choices to make when it comes to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that Iran has effectively shut down in retaliation for the continued bombing strikes.

President Donald Trump made a startling claim about the U.S.'s involvement in the war in Iran during his national address on Wednesday night.

Trump's speech was the first address he's given since the war began about five weeks ago. Since then, the president has offered shifting rationales for conducting coordinated bombing strikes across Iran, which have killed the country's top political and military leadership.

It may have lasted only a few minutes, but a withering exchange between Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Trump's own solicitor general likely sealed the fate of the president's bid to gut birthright citizenship, according to a new analysis.

Slate legal analyst Marc Joseph Stern pointed to a single moment during Wednesday's Supreme Court arguments as the turning point that effectively ended Trump's case. And it came from one of his own nominees.

A MAGA TV host ripped Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday for refusing to punish the "fly boys" who flew an Apache helicopter near musician Kid Rock's home in Nashville, Tennessee, over the weekend.

Videos surfaced on social media of an Apache helicopter buzzing Kid Rock's home, a move that the U.S. Army condemned. The pilots who flew the helicopter were suspended on Monday pending an investigation. Hegseth announced on Tuesday that the suspension was lifted and the investigation was halted.

President Donald Trump's latest failure is guaranteed to leave a "black mark" on America for years to come, according to a new analysis.

Trump attended oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, a case that could determine whether birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment is constitutional. The case arose from an executive order Trump signed in January 2025 that declared birthright citizenship does not apply to children born to illegal immigrants.

Political analysts and observers roasted President Donald Trump's latest "absolutely insane" confession on Wednesday.

During a speaking engagement at the White House, Trump said the U.S. government can't manage multiple social programs that millions of Americans rely on. His comments were made at a time when the Trump Pentagon has asked Congress to approve $200 billion to continue fighting the war in Iran, a conflict that Trump unilaterally began in late February.

A political analyst ridiculed Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday for dismissing the concerns that many Americans have about rising oil prices as a result of the war in Iran.

Oil prices have spiked over the last five weeks since the U.S. and Israel began conducting bombing strikes against Iran. Data from AAA show that the price of a gallon of regular gas has increased to an average of $4.06, up from $2.98 a month ago. The cost of diesel has increased to $5.49 from $3.98 a month ago, significantly affecting some truck drivers and logistics companies.

A top MAGA lawyer melted down on Wednesday after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, a case that could determine whether birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment is constitutional.

MAGA lawyer Mike Davis, who leads the Article III project, joined Steve Bannon on his "War Room" podcast to discuss the oral arguments, which President Donald Trump attended. Both Bannon and Davis said Trump's solicitor general, John Sauer, did a "phenomenal job" arguing Trump's case before the court.

A Republican governor and her security team helped pull one of the actors from the hit television show "Bob's Burgers" out of a fiery car wreck, according to a new report.

TMZ reported on Wednesday that New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte, a Republican, and a veteran state trooper helped rescue Comedian Eugene Mirman, who voices Gene Belcher, from a car wreck in Bedford. Mirman was trapped in his 2026 Lucid Gravity after he struck the Bedford toll bridge, and his car caught fire.
