Trump News

As soccer fans from across the world travel to the United States this month to cheer on their countries’ teams at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a poll released Wednesday by Data for Progress suggests Americans don’t believe many visitors have warm feelings toward the host country after a year-and-a-half of President Donald Trump’s leadership.

Overall the poll found that 62% of American voters think the country’s reputation has deteriorated under Trump, with just 32% saying it’s gotten better.

A loyal Fox News booster of President Donald Trump told the network's own war correspondent Thursday that MAGA viewers were done with his war of choice.

Ainsley Earhardt raised the alarm during a live Fox & Friends update from chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst, who had just gotten off a phone call with President Donald Trump — placed from the Situation Room as U.S. strikes on Iran were still underway.

The prospect that a group tied to White House adviser Stephen Miller may be working behind the scenes to meddle in the upcoming election has become so alarming that an Arizona county attorney, who endorsed Donald Trump for president, has asked a court to intervene.

According to MS NOW reporting by Ja'han Jones, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell—who gained national prominence questioning Christine Blasey Ford during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearing—is leading the charge against America First Legal's influence over the Maricopa County Recorder's Office, which administers elections.

President Donald Trump proclaimed on Truth Social on Thursday morning that not only would the United States engage in new offensives against Iran, they are gearing up for an invasion of the country and a seizure of its oil industry.

"The United States will be hitting Iran (Whose Navy, Air Force, Radar, Anti Aircraft, and all other forms of Defense, together with most its offensive capability, are GONE!), VERY HARD TONIGHT," wrote Trump. Furthermore, he added, "At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America."

Based upon his own reporting and excerpts from a bombshell new book penned by the New York Times ' Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, MS NOW host Jonathan Lemire claimed on Thursday morning that Donald Trump has become a man alone inside his own White House.

Noting that Vice President JD Vance and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles retreated to the Situation Room with the rest of the Trump inner circle — with the president left on the outside — Lemire pointed out that it is nearly impossible to deliver bad news to the increasingly embattled president.

President Trump is on the warpath, furiously lashing out at advisers, allies, and Senate Republicans alike as his second term spirals downward in a cascade of self-inflicted defeats and political miscalculations.

According to Politico reporting based on interviews with Trump allies, GOP Senate aides, and people close to the White House, the president has become "increasingly frustrated with everyone, from his own team to the Senate."

President Donald Trump has had one clear economic statistic he could brag about — but the new inflation data shows even that is gone now.

Specifically, inflation-adjusted wage gains, which were relatively strong even into Trump's term as inflation worsened, have been essentially wiped out with the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data, according to Axios.

The entire panel on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” burst into laughter after watching a clip of Donald Trump blithely telling reporters, “I love the inflation” on Wednesday — a phrase that may come back to haunt Republicans in the November midterms, they pointed out.

Thursday’s show began with the clip, where the president made the admission, followed by comments about the war in Iran, leading co-host Mika Brzezinski to state, “President Trump, uhhhh, not fazed by the latest economic data, telling reporters ‘I love the inflation. It comes as the —.”

Two of the Senate GOP's most senior figures are openly questioning President Donald Trump's massive new Pentagon funding push, throwing fresh doubt on his ambitious $1.5 trillion military budget goal, according to Punchbowl News.

Trump launched his latest funding blitz on Truth Social Wednesday night, demanding Republicans "IMMEDIATELY advance and pass" a $350 billion reconciliation package, which he called "Recon 3.0," that he said is the only way to reach a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget. He framed the request as building the "ARSENAL OF FREEDOM" and demanded "no games, no delays, and no weak compromises."

An international crime expert was floored by President Donald Trump's "quantum" trail of slush funds that he's set up during his second administration.

Jonathan Winer, a former State Department official who investigated international money laundering cases, said during a new episode of the "Court of History" podcast on Wednesday that Trump's slush funds appear quantum in nature because "you never know where [they're] going to end." He referred to the $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization fund," the U.S.-controlled fund in Qatar established to hold money from Venezuelan oil sales, the so-called Board of Peace, and the America 250 celebration, which is being organized with private donations, and Trump's ballroom.
