Trump sparks backlash with controversial Obama post

Donald Trump has posted a video to his followers on Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. The video posted by the President late last night focuses on his accusations of fraud during the 2020 election. An AI clip at the end of the video shows the faces of the former president and first lady imposed on the bodies of apes followed by the The Tokens' song 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight.' The clip belongs to a pro-Trump account on X but was reposted by Trump on his Truth Social platform. Trump's latest swipe at the Obama family sparked widespread condemnation across the political divide.

Report: Reason Trump is skipping the Super Bowl

Donald Trump is not going to the Super Bowl on Sunday because aides warned him the crowd would not welcome him kindly to the stadium, a new report claims. The President said last month he wouldn't be going to the NFL's championship game in Santa Clara, California because it's 'just too far away.' 'I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter,' he told the New York Post. But the real reason, sources now tell progressive outlet Zeteo, is that Trump heard from advisers and officials that the crowd would heckle him at the Bay Area stadium home to the San Francisco 49ers. One White House official said Trump's chances of getting booed were 'big league', and four people familiar with the situation said the administration was worried about the slew of video clips and media coverage the scene would undeniably attract.

JD Vance blasts Nick Fuentes who has targeted his wife and children

Vice President JD Vance condemned his most racist archenemy, Nick Fuentes, who has targeted his wife and children, but stopped short of denouncing his followers. The vice president said in a wide-ranging exclusive interview with the Daily Mail on Tuesday that Fuentes could 'eat [expletive],' but dodged from condemning his online supporters, known as 'Groypers.' Fuentes, a far-right provocateur with millions of young followers, has attacked Second Lady Usha Vance with racial insults over her Indian heritage. Donald Trump had dinner with Fuentes and Kanye West at Mar-a-Lago in November 2022. The President has refused to denounce the 27-year-old far-right leader when asked on multiple occasions.

Adam Carolla delivers warning for anyone betting on Newsom

Comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla predicted that Americans are about to find out the truth about California governor Gavin Newsom ahead of his likely run for president in 2028 ‘He’s a sociopathic buffoon. He's dumb, but he's also totally, weirdly, sort of disconnected. His ideas don't connect,’ he said in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail on Tuesday. Carolla, who lives in California, revealed that he once hosted Newsom on his show in 2013 for a political conversation and found the then-lieutenant governor strangely disconnected.

Ryan Routh sentenced to life in prison for trying to assassinate Trump

A maniac who tried to assassinate Donald Trump at his Florida golf course at the height of the 2024 election campaign will spend the rest of his life in prison. Ryan Routh, 59, was sentenced on Wednesday to life in prison, plus 84 months. US District Judge Aileen Cannon pronounced Ryan Routh's fate in the same Fort Pierce courtroom that erupted into chaos in September when he tried to stab himself shortly after jurors found him guilty on all counts. Prosecutors had asked for life without parole, saying Routh is unrepentant and has never apologized. A defense attorney brought in for his sentencing asked for 27 years, noting that Routh is already turning 60.

Melania deflects Epstein question as files are released

Melania Trump challenged a reporter who tried to ask her about Ghislaine Maxwell while meeting with a hostage freed by Hamas.

In a rare moment, dozens of members of the press were welcomed into the room at the conclusion of their meeting to hear remarks from Melania and the Siegels. Before reporters were ushered out of the room, one was able to sneak in a question to Melania about calls for convicted sexual trafficker Maxwell to be moved to a high security prison amid the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump wards off protesters during Iowa midterm speech

President Donald Trump warded off protestors and delivered a meandering speech about his first-year back in office while attempting to turn around a spiraling narrative about his presidency. The 79-year-old president traveled to Clive, Iowa, to address a crowd mostly comprised of his loyalists. About 30 minutes into a speech that touched on clean energy standards, ethanol, tariff-enabled funding for farmers and 401(k) savings accounts, the president was interrupted by what he called 'paid insurrectionists.' The rabble-rousers interrupted the president while Trump was bragging about the state of the economy. 'After years of the United States getting ripped off by other countries on trade. I'm standing up for the workers and the farmers of our country like no other president has ever no other president has done this,' Trump said.

Americans split on who to blame for Minneapolis chaos

Donald Trump's team is taking the brunt of the blame for the rising chaos and increasingly deadly clashes in Minneapolis. While the White House has deflected responsibility to Democrats in Minnesota for not cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, Americans say it's the Trump administration's fault that a second shooting of an American citizen has occurred within the month. One third of the 1,027 registered voters surveyed in a new Daily Mail poll pin the blame on Trump for the proliferating violence in Minneapolis.

A majority of American voters believe that Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti was murdered by Donald Trump's Border Patrol, a damning poll suggests. The 37-year-old died after he was shot around ten times on Saturday. Gruesome videos of the event show Pretti apprehended by over a half dozen agents before he was shot in the back. The Department of Veterans Affairs intensive care unit worker had a handgun and two fully packed magazines when he was encountered, putting officers on edge. However, just before he was shot and killed, an agent disarmed Pretti.

Trump rips into GOP senators calling for Kristi Noem ouster

The President said Senators Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska are 'losers' and that the former 'lost his voice' by deciding not to run for reelection. 'You know, what can I tell you? They're terrible senators,' Trump told ABC News. 'One is gone and the other should be gone.' Both senators have broken with Trump on several issues over the last year, and both have called for Noem to step down after losing confidence in her ability to lead federal immigration operations.
