D*n*ld Tr*mp continues to swear up and down that he had no ties to or knowledge of Epstein's sex trafficking ring-despite appearing over 1 million times in the Epstein files. We know Tr*mp is not a reliable narrator, and we've covered his many contradictions concerning his relationship to Epstein. But a 1992 talk show appearence is shedding some interesting light on Tr*mp's attitudes towards barely-legal girls being SA-ed.
For the coal company that gave it to him, it was a good trade. Make up an award, pay a trophy shop a couple hundred dollars to make a shiny trinket, and, in exchange, receive $175 million in government money to upgrade coal power plants. Trump likes awards because they temporarily fill an enormous hole in his soul, one that his family members have discussed in the past.
Newsom has already urged Europeans to realise that grovelling to Trump's needs makes them look pathetic on the world stage, telling reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month he should have brought a bunch of knee pads.
It was as violent as, unfortunately I've seen some of the results at levels that probably even you, good reporter, but probably you haven't seen. Trump continued: Horrible thing that took place. People were surprised. It was a surprise attack. Nobody saw that coming. He didn't see it coming. Nobody else would have seen that coming if they were in his position, I don't believe. But I can tell you he has been a good wartime prime minister. He's been very strong.
It turns out: not that many world leaders or global citizens. That's because the Board of Peace, created last year by a UN security council resolution, and intended to have a singular focus on implementing a Gaza peace plan, is increasingly looking like a Donald Trump fiefdom, which could allow the US president to wade into other countries' affairs as he sees fit.
It took barely a glance at Donald Trump's social media posts on Tuesday for Jimmy Kimmel to know: We've got a code orange de-mental emergency going on here right now. I mean, he's gone. He's totally gone. The host focused in particular on the US president's meltdown over the $4.6bn Gordie Howe international bridge between Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan, which Trump falsely claimed had been built with virtually no US content.
FOX BUSINESS NETWORK HOST LARRY KUDLOW: So you've been very generous with your time. Just last question, can you beat history on these midterm elections, carry the House and the Senate for the GOP? Can you do it on the economy? Do you need more communication? Do need more marketing? Do you need more help? I mean, the numbers are on your side. The question is, does the public know this?
The organizers of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) did not hesitate to name who they thought is behind the "period of wrecking-ball politics." "The most powerful of those who take the axe to existing rules and institutions is US President Donald Trump," they wrote in the Munich Security Report 2026released on Monday. The release came as organizers announced that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead "a sizable delegation" of officials to the MSC this weekend.
Speaking at the Museum of the Bible earlier today, Donald Trump appeared to minimize the severity of domestic violence, complaining that it is a crime "if a man has a little fight with the wife." He was saying that crime has decreased since his federal takeover of D.C., claiming that statistics show crime is down 87% but that in reality, crime is down "more than 87%." The reason that he's not getting credit for crime being down even further, he claimed, is that there are things that are counted as crimes that should not be. Like domestic violence.
A 15-foot-tall golden sculpture of the president-"Don Colossus" to friends-has recently been completed and will likely soon stand triumphantly, his fist in the air, atop a 7,000-pound pedestal that has already been installed at Trump's Miami golf club. By the standards of leader worship, it might be too modest-Lilliputian when compared with the 40-foot-tall shining effigy that Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov built for himself in the late 1990s.
In some ways yes and in some ways no, referencing the recent bombshell Wall Street Journal story about investments from Abu Dhabi into the Trump family business just before he became president for a second time. If the name were Biden instead of Trump, people would be screaming bloody murder, Shapiro said, before adding that he's confident that the president will likely pardon himself and his children in the same way that [former President] Joe Biden did on his way out.
This time, however, Trump's account posted a now-deleted video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, drawing harsh criticism from lawmakers in both parties. What they're saying: "This disgusting video, posted by the so-called president, was done intentionally," Jeffries said in the clip, contradicting the White House's claim that it was an erroneous post by a staffer.
Donald Trump never got that memo-or, if he did, he's found ways to ignore it. In a rambling, 75-minute speech at the Prayer Breakfast yesterday, we saw the quintessential Trump. His comments were grievance-filled, narcissistic, conspiratorial, factually false, divisive, and insulting. He referred to his critics as "lunatics." He engaged in projection, comparing them to "dictators" and "the gestapo." He labeled Republican Representative Thomas Massie a "moron" because he won't cast legislative votes the way Trump wants.
I'm in Philadelphia. I've just smoked a joint in a back alley and then checked into my hotel. My room is on the 10th floor: a corner room with a beautiful view of downtown Philly in front of my bed and to the right of it. I plop down on the hotel bed and close my eyes, taking in the late afternoon sun blasting through the windows.
