A time will come-maybe in two years, maybe in three, maybe in five, but the time will come-when this country comes to its senses and realizes how dangerous and terrible Donald Trump was. Just as the Civil Rights Movement was a reckoning, and Watergate was a reckoning, and Stonewall was a reckoning, and the Suffrage Movement was a reckoning, and so many other moments in history were reckonings, someday most people will agree that Trump did deep, lasting damage to the United States.
Trump, taking to his Truth Social platform on Monday afternoon, posted a long screed voicing his opposition to the so-called Gateway tunnel project between New York and New Jersey, saying it would be financially catastrophic for the region. He then turned his attention to the Penn Station matter.
Former President Barack Obama broke his silence on President Donald Trump posting a video depicting both him and his wife Michelle Obama as apes, arguing there is a lack of shame among the president's supporters. Obama joined Brian Tyler Cohen for the Saturday episode of his podcast where the former president dove into a variety of issues, but he first addressed Trump's controversial video post to social media, which he's since blamed on an unidentified staffer.
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.
