As protests continue to erupt across Iran amid its deepening economic crisis, President Donald Trump made his first explicit admission that the United States would be intervening on behalf of the protesters, telling them in a social media post Tuesday that “help is on its way.”

“Iranian Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

President Donald Trump did not appreciate an oil company executive's candid assessment of Venezuela's prospects for investment during a White House meeting.

The 79-year-old president wants U.S. energy companies to invest at least $100 billion to rebuild the South American nation's oil sector after American troops captured former president Nicolás Maduro earlier this month. But Exxon Mobil Corp. CEO Darren Woods gave a frank assessment of the situation during a White House meeting many executives hoped would be canceled, reported Bloomberg.

Donald Trump has grown increasingly dissatisfied with the performance of Attorney General Pam Bondi which is putting her future in the administration in doubt, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Monday.

The president believes Bondi is not moving quickly enough to prosecute his perceived adversaries and has failed to mitigate the Jeffrey Epstein cloud surrounding the White House. Bondi has become aware of Trump's frustration, with her spokesman stating she remains focused on executing Trump's directive to enhance public safety.

President Donald Trump warned Tuesday of a coming “day of reckoning and retribution” for the Democratic-led state of Minnesota as he doubled down on support for the controversial deportation operations taking place across the North Star State.

“Do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention?” Trump wrote Tuesday on his social media platform Truth Social.

President Donald Trump sat down with the New York Times last week for an unprecedented two-hour interview — and buried in the 23,000-word transcript was one nugget that author and radio host Bill Press flagged Tuesday as being especially troubling.

“Am I the only one surprised at President Trump’s choice of words in his interview with the New York Times last week?” Press wrote in a column published Tuesday in The Hill. “And did he get it right?”

The Trump administration’s attack and takeover of Venezuela this month appears on the surface to have unanimous support among Republican lawmakers – but in private, some are frustrated at getting stonewalled and have been pushing back against the administration’s lack of a clear plan, according to a report.

Lawmakers were given a classified briefing last week on the attack, as well as the administration’s plans for the country going forward. In public, Republican lawmakers have praised the administration’s efforts.

The Trump administration's decision to pursue criminal charges against Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell drew sharp criticism from Wall Street Journal editors, who characterized the action as "lawfare for dummies."

In an editorial, the editors described the Department of Justice's prosecution as a "self-defeating fiasco" destined to end badly if allowed to continue.

At least four senior officials have resigned from the Department of Justice in protest over the Trump administration's response to the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer.

Three sources briefed on the departures told MS NOW that top leaders in the criminal section of the Civil Rights Division left their jobs to indicate their frustration that Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, decided not to investigate the ICE officer's killing of 37-year-old Renee Good.
