Donald Trump has found a kindred spirit in his Cabinet and spends countless hours on the phone with him until late at night as they watch TV and compare notes, according to a new report.

According to Axios founder Mike Allen, who appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday morning, Donald Trump has closely allied himself with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has, in the past, been at odds with other officials in the White House.

Despite a looming divide between President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – at least when it comes to vaccine policy – the president has stood firm behind his top public health official, even amid growing scrutiny from GOP lawmakers.

The explanation for Trump’s loyalty to RFK Jr., argued Salon reporter Amanda Marcotte in an analysis published Wednesday, was a simple one.

CNN's John Berman tried to pin down a Republican lawmaker on President Donald Trump's denials of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump denied reports about a bawdy birthday message he'd written to the late sex offender, and even sued the Wall Street Journal over it, but once Epstein's estate handed over the scrawled message to House Oversight Democrats, the president declared the topic "a dead issue," and Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) was asked about the matter.

President Donald Trump called for prosecutors to pursue the death penalty for the man accused of fatally stabbing a Ukrainian refugee last week in North Carolina, while also calling the suspect an “animal.”

“The ANIMAL who so violently killed the beautiful young lady from Ukraine, who came to America searching for peace and safety, should be given a ‘quick’ (there is no doubt!) trial, and only awarded THE DEATH PENALTY,” Trump wrote Wednesday in an online post on his social media platform Truth Social. “There can be no other option!”

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that several Russian drones were shot down Wednesday that had flown over the NATO country’s airspace, igniting a firestorm of criticism against President Donald Trump for his handling of Russian aggression.

“[Russian President Vladimir] Putin embarrassed Trump 3 weeks ago in Alaska,” wrote X user “Maine,” a self-described Democratic strategist with more than 88,000 followers. “Putin bombed an American factory two weeks ago; Putin [is] now expanding war into Poland and Moldova. Putin has played Trump for a fool.”

An internal review from the National Guard on the occupation of cities was mistakenly sent to the Washington Post and it reveals dismay among both the public and the deployed soldiers who admitted feeling “shame” over what they are being forced to do by Donald Trump.

According to a Wednesday morning report from the Post, the report notes that –– contrary to the view of the White House and some cable news pundits –– putting the National Guard on the streets for the putative reason of controlling crime is falling flat, with terms like “’leveraging fear,’ driving a ‘wedge between citizens and the military,’ and promoting a sense of ‘shame’” leaping out from interviewed troops and veterans associated with the occupation.

"The GOP is getting sick of Trump allowing Putin to humiliate the Republican party." That's what one person said after a conservative lawmaker spoke out against Russia's actions.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson spoke out late Tuesday night, saying, "Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House."

A group of antiwar activists got a chance to act out the political fantasy of millions of Americans by confronting President Donald Trump directly to his face.

The president and some senior administration officials made a performative visit Tuesday evening to a swanky restaurant near the White House, where they were greeted in the dining room of Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab by a group of Code Pink protesters, reported The Daily Beast.

Donald Trump is walking a tightrope as he balances supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while simultaneously trying to placate GOP critics of the controversial Health and Human Services Secretary, reports Politico.

The deeper Kennedy gets into his tenure at the HHS, the more conservatives who once endorsed him grow alarmed at his actions, with Kennedy enduring withering criticism from Republican lawmakers at a nationally televised Senate hearing last week.
