A confused and rambling President Donald Trump fumbled Monday while trying to remember Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's (D-MI) name in the Oval Office, landing instead on Gov. "Christy Whitman," former governor of New Jersey in the 1990s.

The gaffe occurred as Trump was signing executive orders, and came as he hurled insults at Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) amid tensions over the National Guard possibly being sent to Chicago.

President Donald Trump insisted that "nobody needed magnets" until a Chinese plot "convinced" the world to use them 20 years ago.

During a Monday Oval Office meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, Trump reflected on his relationship with China.

Former Ohio governor and current MSNBC contributor John Kasich got some surprising pushback on the network on Monday afternoon after he backed Donald Trump’s claim that major urban centers in the U.S. are wracked with uncontrollable crime.

Following Donald Trump’s rambling press conference where he suggested a dictator might be required to get the cities under control, Kasich spoke with host Chris Jansing to give his take, but did not find agreement with MSNBC’s Basil Smilke.

MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk called on the NAACP to give President Donald Trump a nonexistent "Man of the Year" award for sending federal troops into Washington, D.C.

"I can't imagine we have a lot of inner-city Blacks that watch this show," Kirk said during his Monday podcast. "You guys should look at what's happening in D.C. and know that you don't have to live the way that you're living in Philadelphia, in Chicago, in Atlanta."

MSNBC host Ana Cabrera fact-checked President Donald Trump’s claims about Washington, D.C., being a “trashy” city.

“I want to do a quick fact check to start here regarding some of the comments we just heard from the president, claiming that D.C. was a total mess of crime,” Cabrera said at the top of the hour, cutting into Trump’s remarks. “Reminder: At the time this takeover happened in D.C., violent crime was down 26 percent, according to D.C. police data. Also, FBI data shows the homicide rate last year in D.C. had plummeted to a 30-year low.”

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that would eliminate cashless bail in Washington, D.C., but one legal analyst explained that it doesn't appear that Trump's order will do anything after all.

The Atlantic's legal analyst and writer Quinta Jurecic explained, "Unless I'm missing something, I think there's a limit to what Trump can do in terms of cash bail in D.C."

During a rambling press conference where he jumped from boasting about a World Cup trophy gifted to him to making personal attacks on Democratic governors, Donald Trump once again hinted at a U.S. dictatorship.

With the major players in his Cabinet standing at attention behind him, the president launched into what one critic on MSNBC dismissively called a “tsunami of lies” about what is happening in Washington, D.C., since he militarized the city with at armed patrolling National Guard troops.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) argued that President Donald Trump "deserves" the Nobel Peace Prize for ordering a federal takeover of law enforcement in Washington, D.C.

Johnson made the proclamation in a Monday post on X.

President Donald Trump isn’t just orchestrating a National Guard-led takeover of Washington, D.C. – he’s rolling out new measures, including banning the city’s cashless bail system and flag burning as part of a broader campaign targeting the district.

According to columnist Amanda Marcotte in Salon, this is all part of Trump’s attack agenda, engineered to provoke misery rather than protect public safety.

Labelling the controversy over the branding change by Cracker Barrel restaurants as “monumentally stupid,” a Monday morning MSNBC panel ridiculed the ginned-up outrage that has included calling the popular chain “woke.”

“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski brought up the rebranding, which led her partner Joe Scarborough to blurt, “What a monumentally stupid story."

A White House spokesperson declined to tell Fox News what kind of gold President Donald Trump used to decorate the Oval Office.

In a recent report, Fox News praised Trump's "golden touch" after he gave the Oval Office a gilded makeover.

President Donald Trump vigorously defended his administration’s multi-billion-dollar deal with the technology company Intel on Monday in a fiery social media post, claiming he “paid zero for Intel,” despite the agreement including the United States government investing nearly $9 billion into the company.

“I paid zero for Intel, it is worth approximately $11 billion,” Trump wrote Monday on his Truth Social platform. “All goes to the USA. Why are ‘stupid’ people unhappy with that? I will make deals like that for our country all day long.”
