Trump News

A candid admission from a high-ranking NBCUniversal executive that Comcast's multi-million dollar contribution to President Trump's ballroom project was merely the "cost of doing business" sparked outrage among journalists at a company retreat this week.

According to media watchdog Status, NBC-owned stations' news directors and NBC News investigative reporters gathered for a network training day ahead of the 2026 Investigative Reporters & Editors conference in National Harbor, Maryland.

A veteran Washington reporter said Wednesday he'd "bet everybody's farm" that Congress will launch an investigation into Stephen Miller by week's end.

Scott MacFarlane made the prediction during a panel on MS NOW. The MeidasTouch Network's chief Washington correspondent was reacting to New York Times reporting on secret White House memos showing Miller had pushed to suspend habeas corpus rights for undocumented immigrants.

The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a unanimous loss Thursday, ruling that a 1968 law barring drug users from owning firearms cannot be used to prosecute a Texas marijuana user — a rare rebuke that also resurrects the ghost of Hunter Biden.

The justices sided with Ali Danial Hemani, who argued the prohibition violated his Second Amendment rights. Hemani had not been charged with any other crime and was not accused of using the weapon while under the influence.

While Donald Trump is being excoriated by Republicans over his Iran deal, which one GOP lawmaker called “… a tremendous foreign policy blunder,” MS NOW’s Bill Rohde stated on Thursday morning that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth can expect that his role in advising the president to launch the war has put his job at risk.

Discussing the blowback Trump is facing over the war that, for the moment, has ended in a stalemate, Rohde claimed that Hegseth is already a prime target instead since he is already on the outs with a substantial number of Republican lawmakers.

Jackson Lahmeyer, the candidate previously backed by President Donald Trump in Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, dropped out of the race one day after advancing to a runoff in the GOP primary.

NOTUS first reported earlier Wednesday that he was expected to drop out of the race.

President Donald Trump is only seeing the backlash mount from his own party against the Iran agreement he signed to end the war largely on Iran's terms, CNN's John Berman reported on Thursday morning.

Trump, said Berman, is facing "a lot" of anger from conservatives — and the long list of social media posts put up on the display behind him, he added, is "just a smattering" of what they are saying about him.

Senators from both parties are accusing President Donald Trump of secretly tapping government funds for his White House ballroom after Congress refused to write him a check.

The White House Office of Management and Budget quietly moved $352 million last week from a Secret Service fund — money the law restricts to personnel, training, programming, and technology — and labeled it "White House Security Measures."

A grass-roots movement and sympathetic Chicago aldermen are pushing to rename the street in front of Trump International Hotel and Tower on Wabash Avenue to "Barack Hussein Obama Way"—a pointed potshot aimed at the controversial president.

According to USA Today and Chicago Tribune reporting, the push comes from a Change.org petition (which can be found here) that has garnered more than 22,000 signatures as of June 16, combined with ordinances proposed Wednesday by Chicago aldermen who oppose Trump's policies and leadership.

President Donald Trump just broke three of his own records in a new poll, and none of them are good.

The NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll, conducted June 8–11 among 1,340 adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, finds Trump hitting simultaneous lows: his worst-ever economy approval rating, his worst-ever approval spread, and a disapproval rating that ties the highest ever recorded for him.

A Salon columnist said Thursday that President Donald Trump looked so worn out at this week's Group of Seven summit in France that his appearance revealed more about his standing than the Iran agreement he traveled there to tout.

In a column published this week, Heather Digby Parton wrote that the 80-year-old president seemed unusually low on energy in Evian-les-Bains, a setting where his meetings with European leaders have turned combative. She opened by recounting that Trump had stayed late celebrating his birthday at a UFC event on the White House lawn before flying to the summit.

According to former CIA official Marc Polymeropoulos, Donald Trump’s Iran deal, which has set off a deluge of criticism within the Republican Party, has left the leadership of Israel in a state of shock.

Appearing on MS NOW with “Morning Joe” co-host Willie Geist, Polymeropoulos, who just returned from Tel Aviv, claimed he found a sense of betrayal during his visit. Geist prompted the 26-year veteran of the CIA with, “Marc, take us to Tel Aviv this morning. And what Bibi Netanyahu must be thinking; that he got his man in the White House in Donald Trump, that he went to the Situation Room, sold the war successfully. He thought that Donald Trump, the United States military, would come in and finish off Iran, take out the regime, and now he sits here this morning with this memorandum of understanding anyway, with explicit language that says there can be no attacks on Lebanon.”

President Donald Trump's administration is quietly diverting over $350 million from the Secret Service to pay for "security" elements in the president's White House ballroom project.

According to The Washington Post, the Office of Management and Budget "did not specify the purpose of the unusually large shift in response to questions on Wednesday." However, an anonymous source involved with the budget for the Secret Service "told The Washington Post the funding was to help pay for a new White House East Wing that includes a large ballroom."

President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform Thursday to praise a comparison of himself to murderous 20th-century dictators.

The president screenshotted a lengthy quote from someone he referred to as David King, who he identifies as a "presidential historian" which compared historic “powerful” people known for “brutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations” during their reigns.
