'What do you think he meant?' Pentagon insider fears Trump will drop a nuke

President Donald Trump's hardening stance on Iran has rattled even senior Republican officials and generals in his own Department of Defense, with one calling him "a madman who can't be trusted," according to an insider.

Veteran White House reporter Brian Karem, in a report for Raw America, identified how Trump has been weighing using nuclear weapons against Iran over the past two months.

"One unnamed Pentagon official confided to Raw America that the president’s threat that 'a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,' which he posted to his Truth Social early last month, was seen as particularly alarming within the DoD," Karem wrote....

Trump 'screaming in agony' as nemesis delivers 'hornet sting' to Achilles heel: ex-insider

Former Trump aide Miles Taylor divulged why a Democratic lawmaker's attack on President Donald Trump hit so hard.

The former chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security explained how claims that Sen. Jon Ossoff's attack on the president and his relationship with aide Natalie Harp was a "low-brow" move, Taylor argued in his Substack on Wednesday.

"It’s a scorching hot laser beam," Taylor wrote. "He took documented reporting of Trump’s corruption (including the secret flights, the ballroom obsession, the golf, the stock trades, the war he’s losing, and the weird stories about his too-adoring personal assistant) and compressed it into one sentence that delivered a hornet sting to the wannabe dictator in the White House."...

Trump eyeing major cabinet shakeup 'sooner rather than later': insider

President Donald Trump's cabinet could look different — and have a new scapegoat — in the near future as Republicans become more aggravated over the Iran war and the president, an insider said.

Raw America's Brian Karem, a veteran White House correspondent, detailed how Trump has faced mounting pressure over the Iran war as the Republican Party fractures.

"Trump’s recent decisions have spurred multiple Republicans in Congress to rethink their support of the Iran war, though most have refrained from publicly criticizing Trump," Karem wrote. "Republican consensus seems to have centered on naming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a convenient scapegoat for the war the longer it drags on."...

Megyn Kelly up in arms after MAGA pinch-hitter's 'disqualifying' debate disaster

Conservative podcast host Megyn Kelly on Wednesday criticized Sen. Darline Graham's (R-SC) botched debate performance.

Kelly said on her podcast that Graham's responses left her "mortified" and referred to the sister of late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as a "placeholder" senator, The Daily Beast reported. Kelly played back the debate stage flop.

Trump had endorsed Darline Graham, 62, and asked her to step into her late brother's Senate seat after his unexpected death. During the debate Tuesday night, she was booed by the crowd in Newberry, her hometown....

Critics mock Trump as he tries 'worst ever movie reboot'

President Donald Trump was criticized on Wednesday after claiming he had a great relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, prompting backlash over his recent comments.

Trump, who had called for U.S. military exercises with South Korea to be cut, claimed during an Oval Office press conference that continuing the drills would be unfair to North Korea's supreme leader.

"I do have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un," Trump said. "I didn't like the fact that we're doing these massive military exercises really against North Korea when I'm friendly with him."...
