Trump Karoline Leavitt joke as Air Force One jolts mid-flight

Donald Trump joked about needing to grab Karoline Leavitt to avoid falling over on a turbulent Air Force One flight on Sunday. The commander-in-chief, 79, took questions from reporters but had to briefly pause the gaggle as he struggled to stand on his return from Mar-a-Lago to Washington DC . The president then turned to his loyal press secretary Leavitt and blurted out that he needed to stop himself from falling down.

Poll: Somalis plunge to the bottom of America’s favorability rankings

Minnesota's Somali community has been under scrutiny over the fraud scandal that has enveloped state leaders. The outcry had already prompted Minnesota's Democratic Governor Tim Walz to drop his reelection bid, which he did last week, before an ICE officer shot an unarmed woman, further propelling Minnesota into the news. Daily Mail polling conducted January 5 and 6 - also before the fatal ICE shooting - found that the Minnesota fraud scandal was taking a toll on how American voters viewed Somali immigrants. Somalians were viewed least favorably compared to other immigrant groups in the J.L. Partners poll.

Trump declares himself ‘Acting President of Venezuela’ in social media post

Donald Trump fancies that he is the real president of Venezuela. Over the weekend, the US president posted on Truth Social a doctored image of a Wikipedia page showing that he is the 'Acting President of Venezuela.' Trump's actual page on the site carries no such title, and the image he posted appears to be in jest. Delcy Rodriguez, the second in command behind deposed dictator Nicolas Maduro, is actually the interim leader of Venezuela.

Trump allegedly orders 2,500 Somalis out of the country by March

President Donald Trump is ordering thousands of Somalis to leave the US. The White House is ending Temporary Protective Status (TPS) for Somalia, meaning thousands of Somalis in the US under that program must leave, after an alleged fraud scheme exploded in Minnesota and made national headlines. Those affected must leave the country by March 17. There are roughly 2,500 Somalis in the US under TPS, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sources revealed to Fox News. Just under 1,400 of those are in the country with pending applications.

Report: The ICE backlash isn’t the end of Kristi Noem. It may have saved her

When DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stepped to the microphones, just hours after the fatal shooting of activist Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis on January 7, few details about the incident were publicly known. In such situations, federal officials typically say they will need to wait for the findings of an investigation before passing judgment. So, her response was highly unexpected. Flanked by burly, stone-faced agency officials and wearing a black DHS hat pulled down over her eyes, Noem claimed that Ms Good had committed an act of 'domestic terrorism,' 'weaponized' her car and 'attempted to run a law enforcement officer over.' The officer, she declared, followed his training. Her comments sent shockwaves through the law enforcement community and America at large. One former senior DHS official tells the Daily Mail that Noem displayed 'profound ignorance' and a 'disturbing disregard for the proper way to investigate an officer-involved shooting' by not reserving her judgment.

Trump signals halt to military plans as Iran reopens airspace

Iran reopened its airspace Thursday morning after a temporary closure as Donald Trump appeared to steer away from potential strikes against Tehran. The closure ran for over four hours and appeared to have expired just after 7am local time as several domestic flights were in the air. While tensions remain high between the countries, Trump spoke carefully after being told that Iran had stopped executing protesters at a press conference in the Oval Office Wednesday in a possible sign that pragmatists inside the administration have successfully made the case that an attack is too risky. 'We've been told that the killing in Iran is stopping, and it's stopped and stopping, and there's no plan for executions or an execution,' the president told reporters.

Republican warns Trump invasion of Greenland could spark impeachment

President Donald Trumpcould very well face his first second-term impeachment if he crosses the line to take Greenland by force, according to a retiring GOP congressman. Republican Congressman Don Bacon of Nebraska claims a US invasion of the Arctic island might go too far and could prompt his party to launch a third impeachment against the two-term president. He acknowledged that while the president doesn't like 'being told no,' he might need to accept it in this case, according to the Omaha World-Herald.

Steve Bannon reveals why Canada is Trump’s ‘next Ukraine’

President Donald Trump is preparing to counter Chinese influence in Canada as his 'Donroe Doctrine' for the Western Hemisphere expands beyond Latin America, his former campaign architect Steve Bannon has told the Daily Mail. 'The next big thing is going to be Canada. Canada is the next Ukraine because they can't defend their northern arctic border and China is going to come take a bite,' former White House chief strategist Bannon said. 'They can't defend it and Trump is going to come in hard on Canada.' During his first term, Trump formed an Arctic working group that deepened his understanding of Greenland's geo-strategic importance—and highlighted concerns about Canada's Arctic vulnerabilities.
