President Donald Trump stunned political observers and analysts on Thursday by officially endorsing Hungarian dictator Viktor Orbán for reelection.

Trump posted on Truth Social that Orbán is a "truly strong and powerful Leader, with a proven track record of delivering phenomenal results" and urged voters to support him during the April 12 election. Trump's post came at a time when Orbán, who has been in office for the past 16 years, is facing one of his toughest reelection bids yet.

An interview on MS NOW with a Florida man caused alarm on social media after he urged Donald Trump to “push the button” and kill everyone in Iran.

Speaking on the street in front of a Starbucks in Boca Raton, Dale Hershman told MS NOW’s Alex Tabet that he wants Trump’s war to continue and that the president has not gone far enough as far as he is concerned.

Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of not following the teachings of Jesus Christ because he had supported President Donald Trump after a threat to destroy Iran's entire civilization in one night.

During an interview with CNN on Thursday, Greene called Trump's apocalyptic threat "insanity."

U.S. military service members claimed the Pentagon was not telling the truth about Iran's deadliest attack on America's troops during President Donald Trump's most recent war.

CBS News reported that survivors of the attack that killed six and wounded 20 were "left dangerously exposed" when they were attacked in Kuwait.

An interview with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) got off to a ragged start on Thursday morning when MS NOW regular Katty Kay accused him of being ineffective.

Brought on to promote an Iran war resolution vote to be held Thursday morning at the request of his office, Kay immediately charged ahead with, “It doesn't have really very much chance of passing at all. So is this just performative on your part?”

Donald Trump kicked off his Thursday morning with a cryptic Truth Social post aimed at NATO that will have people scratching their heads at what is to come.

The president has long been critical of the military alliance formed in 1949 as a bulwark against Russia, arguing over funding and now complaining that NATO countries won’t help him with his war on Iran.

A report that Donald Trump’s administration menaced the first American-born pope led the entire panel on MS NOW’s "Morning Joe” to wonder what they could possibly be thinking as they risk alienating millions of Catholics.

According to a report from The Free Press, after Pope Leo XIV delivered his State of the World speech where he criticized the Trump administration, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby demanded an audience with Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the Vatican’s U.S. representative, and then issued a threat, reportedly telling the pope’s representative, “The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s continuing over-the-top press conferences about the Iran war are not doing Donald Trump any favors due to his childish behavior, leading MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough to suggest the president may want to put an end to Hegseth's "humiliating" antics.

Reacting to the Wednesday Pentagon press conference, where the former Fox News personality boasted about the president’s ceasefire agreement that was already in the process of falling apart, the “Morning Joe” host compared Hegseth repeatedly to a grossly immature elementary school student.

Vice President JD Vance’s use of his relationship with his wife Usha to explain differing opinions about Donald Trump’s ceasefire chaos set off a tirade by MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski on Thursday morning as she could not contain her disgust.

Speaking with reporters at the end of his overseas trip, Vance was asked about Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf of the Iranian Parliament who stated that his country’s 10-point proposal to end the war included “Iran’s right to enrichment.”

MB Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's Parliament, declared a ceasefire and upcoming negotiations "unreasonable" after he accused the U.S. of violating a newly minted agreement.

On Wednesday, Iran reportedly again shut down the Strait of Hormuz after Israel attacked Lebanon. For his part, President Donald Trump insisted that Lebanon had never been part of the ceasefire agreement. The U.S. president also said he had not agreed to a 10-point Iranian plan for peace as a framework for further negotiations.
