Trump News

An offhand comment Donald Trump made about receiving a Nobel Prize nomination while speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India is the reason the two have gone from allies to enemies, reports the New York Times.

On Saturday, the Times’ Mujib Mashal, Tyler Pager and Anupreeta Das reported that an already aggravated Modi, who represents a major trading partner with the U.S. , took exception to Trump pointing out that the leadership of Pakistan had nominated him for the prize, which has become an obsession of the president in his second term.

Among the Trump administration's defining characteristics has been the president’s ire for those appointed to positions of power by past administrations, with President Donald Trump declaring early on in his second term that he would “clean house immediately” of most officials appointed under the Biden administration.

Now, however, Trump has redirected his angst toward his own appointed officials in a pattern of firings that one expert noted surpassed any previous administration in history.

A federal court in Washington, D.C. has blocked President Donald Trump's plan to expand an expedited deportation process to immigrants who have been in the country longer than two years.

In the ruling released on Friday, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb slammed the Trump administration's apparent lack of care for due process, warning that under these new rules, basically anyone could be deported without an adequate chance to defend themselves.

The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board laid into Trump's history of failed industrial policy decisions on Friday — using as an example his intervention on behalf of an auto plant in Lordstown, Ohio, that his first administration "supposedly saved."

The Lordstown plant has been a long string of failed and broken promises for the president ever since the whole sequence of events got set in motion in 2019, when General Motors moved to close the facility, endangering the northeast Ohio area that has more broadly seen a massive decline in the manufacturing sector over the last several decades.

Unions and progressive organizations are planning nearly 1,000 "Workers Over Billionaires" demonstrations across the United States this Labor Day to protest President Donald Trump's assault on workers' rights.

The day of national action has been organized by the May Day Strong coalition, which includes labor organizations like the AFL-CIO, American Federation of Teachers, and National Union of Healthcare Workers, as well as advocacy groups like Americans for Tax Fairness, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and Public Citizen.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) took several veiled jabs at President Donald Trump, as their public feud continues to dominate headlines.

The Daily Beast reported Friday that Pritzker — who was visiting Wagoner Elementary School in Sauk Village (roughly 30 miles south of Chicago) — was simultaneously complimentary to young students while trolling the president. In a post to his official X account, the two-term Illinois governor didn't mention Trump directly but wrote: "Our leaders in Washington could learn a thing or two from some of the best elementary school students here in Illinois."

President Donald Trump released a furious rant on his Truth Social platform after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that his tariff policies are illegal.

The ruling held that the president does not have authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to enact the type of global tariffs he has claimed authority for.

President Donald Trump's tariffs suffered a "big blow" in court on Friday, and critics could not hide their satisfaction.

A federal appeals court ruled Trump had no legal right to impose sweeping global tariffs using emergency authority, finding those tariffs unconstitutional. However, the court left the tariffs in place temporarily while the matter is appealed further, likely to the Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump's economic agenda was dealt a crushing blow, with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit striking down his authority to enact tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

The ruling potentially guts a core policy of the Trump administration, which has imposed sweeping tariffs on goods from virtually the entire world, using them both to try to spur U.S. domestic production and to create leverage to bargain for better trade deals with foreign countries.

Terry Moran, a broadcast journalist who was fired from ABC News in June after posting a message on X referring to top White House adviser Stephen Miller as a "world-class hater," blasted his old employer this week for "failing the American people."

Moran posted to social media, "The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not the brains. It's the bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater."

The chief data officer at the Social Security Administration, who sounded the alarm that the Department of Government Efficiency uploaded the unsecured personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans onto a vulnerable cloud server, is out after filing his whistleblower complaint.

Charles Borges filed the complaint on Wednesday, which revealed that members of DOGE, tasked with eliminating parts of the federal government, had accessed personal data uploaded to a cloud server.

Economists are warning that President Donald Trump's efforts to meddle with the Federal Reserve are going to wind up raising prices even further for working families.

Michael Madowitz, principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute, said on Wednesday that the president's efforts to strong-arm the US central bank into lowering interest rates by firing Federal Reserve Gov. Lisa Cook would backfire by accelerating inflation.

National Guard soldiers were deployed to Washington, D.C., earlier this month, but since arriving, they haven't done much. Two reporters at The Atlantic found that even the soldiers have no idea what their mission is.

Photos captured them standing around in extreme heat and humidity. Last week, they were seen grabbing ice cream from a food truck and guarding the Krispy Kreme. In the past few days, it seems to have evolved into Guard soldiers picking up trash and spreading mulch around the landscaping in the city.
