Donald Trump is searching for an exit strategy from his increasingly unpopular war with Iran, but Saudi Arabia's de facto leader is pushing hard in the opposite direction — pressuring the president to view the conflict as an opportunity to reshape the entire Middle East.

According to the New York Times, controversial Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been aggressively urging Trump to intensify the war against Iran, according to people briefed by American officials on the private conversations.

President Donald Trump's support among male voters is plummeting, and CNN's Harry Enten warned the Republican congressional majority it may not survive the fall.

The 79-year-old president rode a wave of support from that half of the electorate to the White House in 2024, but many of them have already turned on his second term, and that growing unpopularity could cut into his party's chances of maintaining control of the House and Senate.

President Donald Trump has aggressively pushed for Congress to pass the SAVE Act, his voter ID bill that critics say would dramatically suppress voter turnout, but one prominent journalist alleged on Tuesday that the president is well aware the legislation was doomed to fail — but is pushing it regardless for one nefarious reason.

An acronym for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, the bill would require voters to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote, presenting challenges to the 52% of voters who don’t possess a passport or the 11% who don’t have access to their birth certificate.

While the less than 20% of Americans who identify as MAGA Republicans continue to support nearly every decision President Donald Trump makes, his “contempt” for his most loyal supporters “is getting worse,” argued writer Amanda Marcotte in an analysis published Tuesday.

“To Trump and his top brass, like Vance, feeling like they owe anything to anybody, especially to the red-hat yokels who got them into office, is insulting,” Marcotte wrote on her Substack. “Their resentment at their own voters for actually expecting results is getting worse, and that’s starting to be reflected in policy choices.”

Reeling Republican lawmakers dreading a midterm wipe-out are seeing their chances of holding both chambers of Congress further diminished by Donald Trump sending ICE agents into already troubled airports.

According to MS NOW’s Willie Geist, the nation’s focus has been on the travel chaos brought about by TSA agents skipping work because they are not being paid — for which he said Republicans are being blamed, despite them trying to make Democrats responsible.

The day after President Donald Trump deployed ICE agents to the nation’s airports to fill in the gaps as many unpaid TSA agents stay home, images of the heavily armed agents standing around and seemingly doing nothing are making the president look even worse than normal.

That was the opinion of the panel on MS NOW's “Morning Joe,” with co-host Mika Brzezinski repeatedly asking if any of her colleagues knows what the purpose of the ICE airport invasion is supposed to be.

Journalist and author Kurt Andersen believes he's identified the secret behind Donald Trump's political success: his lifelong stupidity combined with an American culture that's vulnerable to being conned.

Speaking on The Daily Beast Podcast, Andersen said his theory was on full display in Trump's recent foreign policy moves, which he said are fundamentally uninformed. Regarding Trump's Iran strategy, Andersen said that Trump has "no clue" about the region's history and dynamics.

President Donald Trump spent Monday telling a law enforcement task force in Memphis that mail-in voting is "mail-in cheating" and vowing to do something about it.

But later Monday, The Washington Post reported Trump himself voted by mail.

President Donald Trump threw his full political weight behind a Florida state house candidate in his own backyard — but the Republican he's backing has faced swirling questions about whether he even lives in the district he wants to represent.

Trump posted a full-throated Truth Social endorsement Monday of Jon Maples, declaring he has his "complete and total endorsement" for Tuesday's special election in Florida House District 87, a coastal Palm Beach County seat covering some of the wealthiest ZIP codes in the state, including Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Singer Island and Palm Beach itself.

President Donald Trump thought he was landing a blow when he declared California Gov. Gavin Newsom unfit for the presidency because of his dyslexia, but in doing so, he exposed a fatal flaw.

That's the argument from New York Times contributing Opinion writer Molly Jong-Fast, who has dyslexia herself — and was expelled from private school as a child because of it. In a blistering op-ed on Monday, she dismantled Trump's attack while exposing what she described as his fundamental flaw.

President Donald Trump's winning cross-section of voters that got him back into office is already falling apart, according to a new poll released by Morning Consult on Monday, with several voting groups essential to his victory turning on him at a rapid pace.

This comes amid widespread public outrage over the war in Iran, abuses of power by federal immigration agents, and a swiftly weakening economy that is seeing a massive jobs slowdown at the same time as inflation is beginning to accelerate again.
