'Quit the rotten carcass': Analysts say Melania just sent husband a shot across the bow

First lady Melania Trump's bombshell denial of ties to Jeffrey Epstein made a major omission, political analysts reported on Friday.

The Bulwark's William Kristol, Andrew Egger, and Jim Swift identified that it was what the first lady did not say — and who she did not name — that was most revealing. The move effectively threw her husband, President Donald Trump, under the bus.

Trump admin official should 'start worrying' as they could be ousted next: analysis

A member of Donald Trump's administration should brace to lose their job, according to a political analyst.

Trump has cleaned out his team in recent weeks, firing both Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi in quick succession. Whether a third major personnel change is made so soon after the two firings is yet to be seen, but one admin official may be an obvious choice for Trump.

California Republicans set to deliver 'major blow' to Trump: report

Donald Trump's endorsement of Steve Hilton for California governor may not be enough to secure the state GOP's formal backing at this weekend's San Diego convention — a potentially devastating blow that would expose the limits of his influence with party grassroots.

According to a report from Politico's Playbook, Trump's support for Hilton is facing serious headwinds. Before Trump weighed in with an endorsement, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco was widely accepted as the candidate closest to reaching the 60 percent margin needed for an official endorsement.

"I would have told you, going into the convention, that Bianco was within a stone's throw, but it wasn't clear to me if he would quite make that hurdle or not," said Jon Fleischman, the party's former executive director told Politico. "Now, I would tell you that it's going to be more difficult for him, because the president's endorsement does matter."

But Trump's endorsement may not be enough to deliver victory — or the party may reject both candidates entirely. The smart money among half a dozen strategists and delegates is that California Republicans will follow the path of California Democrats: fail to endorse in the primary altogether, described by Politico as "a major blow to Trump."

That outcome would represent a stinging rebuke of the president's influence with Republican grassroots, particularly given the backdrop of his unpopular Iran war and a worsening national political landscape for the GOP.

Fleischman emphasized that Trump's endorsement, while significant, is "not determinative, because both of these guys have spent over a year barnstorming the state, speaking to county Republican committees, clubs, organizations, meeting with legislators, getting endorsements."

The real test of Trump's power comes down to this: Hilton will maintain a primary advantage based on Trump's endorsement given the president's traditional sway with GOP voters. But if Bianco pulls off an endorsement victory — or even if he simply blocks Hilton from reaching 60 percent — it will be a significant repudiation of the president's influence with the party's grassroots.

Either outcome signals a weakening of Trump's grip on Republican Party machinery at a critical moment before the midterm elections, Politico is reporting.

Jen Psaki rips Melania Trump's 'bizarre' Epstein comments: 'In her own La La Land'

MS NOW's Jen Psaki blasted First lady Melania Trump for her "self-important way" of reigniting the Jeffrey Epstein saga by delivering a rare statement denying involvement with the former financier and convicted child abuser.

Psaki explained how the timing of Melania's comments were unclear, especially since there is evidence of a social relationship between Melania, her husband Donald Trump, Epstein, and his conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, whom Melania had emailed multiple times, according to documents released by the Justice Department.

Trump hit with 'haunting' blackmail theory explaining his Iran moves: 'We're not joking'

Over the past month, President Donald Trump has dramatically escalated his administration’s war against Iran, culminating with his threat to destroy Iran’s entire civilization earlier this week, but according to Tucker Carlson’s independent media outlet, a “blackmail” operation could potentially be forcing the president’s hand.

The theory was outlined in a Friday morning newsletter from the Tucker Carlson Network, which pointed to a past incident that some have characterized as an attempted effort to blackmail a sitting U.S. president. Specifically, the newsletter cites claims made by political writer Daniel Halper in his 2014 biography “Clinton Inc.,” supported in part by sworn testimony given in 1998 to the congressionally established Office of Independent Counsel.
