There's one trick President Donald Trump relies on when the whole world seems to be crumbling around him, but that trick may now be one of his many Achilles heels, according to one expert.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, said during a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosts with Joana Coles of The Daily Beast, that Trump often relies on his strongman persona to "pull him through" when times get tough. Wolff said Trump learned early on in his reality television days that the strongman persona captivates an audience.

The market-wide selloff on Tuesday should be a sign to President Donald Trump that he needs to back off his tariff threats, according to one expert.

The stock market sank on Tuesday after Trump announced new 10% tariffs on goods from certain E.U. countries until the U.S. annexes Greenland. Those tariffs are scheduled to increase to 25% if the issue remains unresolved by the summer.

Things got heated on Fox News when host Sean Hannity and Tennessee State Representative Justin Jones, a Democrat, clashed on Tuesday night over President Donald Trump's immigration operations.

Jones and Hannity got into a screaming match toward the end of one segment after Hannity defended Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, a force that has been in the middle of multiple recent scandals. Jones attacked Hannity at one point for defending Trump's ICE raids, saying Hannity's children will be ashamed of him.

CNN's Anderson Cooper was visibly shocked on Tuesday night by a report that President Donald Trump has increased his wealth by more than $1.4 billion during his second term.

The New York Times editorial board published an estimate of how Trump's crypto ventures, licensing deals, overseas real estate investments, and other revenue streams he's generated as president have affected his wealth. Cooper discussed the report with Ross Buettner, an investigative reporter at the Times, on Cooper's primetime show, "AC 360."

Embattled interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan is departing the Department of Justice, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday.

Halligan's departure comes at a time when President Donald Trump has put increased pressure on the agency to prosecute his political enemies. According to reports, Trump has privately raged that Bondi is "weak and ineffective." He also cornered some of his U.S. Attorneys during a recent photoshoot and told them to prosecute his enemies more quickly.

The massive number of pardons and clemencies President Donald Trump has issued during his second term has cost the federal government at least $1.5 billion in penalty payments, according to one expert.

Liz Oyer, a former pardon attorney at the Department of Justice, estimated in a new Substack essay on Tuesday that the more than 1,600 pardons and clemencies Trump has granted have caused the government to forfeit more than $1.56 billion in fines, restitution, and forfeitures. That included the more than 1,500 pardons he issued to people for crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, and the dozens of people involved in the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.

Calls to "rise up" against the tactics Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are using grew louder on Tuesday after a group of Minneapolis-area doctors spoke out about abuses they've seen.

The press conference was organized by the Minnesota Academy of Family Physicians, a local advocacy group, and was attended by chapter members and local lawmakers. Matt Klein, a former physician running for U.S. Congress in Minnesota’s 2nd District, spoke about the recent killing of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother who was leaving the scene of an ICE raid in her car when ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot her.

A CNN host was struck Tuesday night by a "pretty sinister" remark President Donald Trump made during his nearly 80-minute speech earlier in the day.

Trump gave a speech to mark his one-year anniversary in office, one that meandered through topics ranging from foreign policy to the economy and more. During the question-and-answer part of the briefing, he was asked about how far he is willing to go to annex Greenland.

Minnesotans will soon see a familiar face campaigning for a seat in the U.S. Senate, according to a new report.

Former National Football League sideline reporter Michele Tafoya filed paperwork to run for Senate as a Republican. She will try to flip retiring Sen. Tina Smith's (D-MN) seat, The Hill reported.

A Minneapolis-area police chief left one political analyst stunned on Tuesday with comments he made about how Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are conducting themselves in the area.

Mark Bruley, police chief for the city of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, spoke at a press conference with local law enforcement officers, telling reporters that his office has received "endless complaints about civil rights violations" stemming from interactions with ICE.
