- ‘The Man Is Asleep!’ Chris Hayes Chuckles at ‘Daily Thing’ of Trump Appe...
MS NOW’s Chris Hayes said he feels like he is “losing” it whenever he sees President Donald Trump appearing to fall asleep during public appearances. On Friday’s All In, Hayes teed up a clip of Trump from the previous day, when the president held a press gaggle at the White House. “I gotta take a moment to play you this clip from a press conference yesterday in the Oval Office,” Hayes told viewers. “You will see the EPA chief, Lee Zeldin, speaking to reporters while standing beside Donald Trump in the Oval Office.” In the clip, Trump, who is sitting behind the Resolute Desk, begins to lean back and to the side, as if listing. He closes his eyes for an extended period of time, opens them suddenly, and then closes them again. The pattern repeats multiple times. Hayes then welcomed CT Insider’s Philip Bump and MS NOW’s Lisa Rubin to the program. “I saw that yesterday, and I do feel like we are getting so acclimated to the absurdity of this man falling asleep in public in front of everyone, and then his eyes shooting up the way that my dog’s does when I startle her coming down the stairs,” Hayes said as the clip of Trump rolled again. “I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s like, that is not– how is that the president of the United States, Philip, standing, sitting in front of everyone. This is now a daily thing. Look. Look! He’s asleep! The man is asleep! He’s not resting his eyes!” “I don’t understand why he keeps doing this,” Bump replied. “This is constantly something that’s drawing attention to himself. Just stand up, is one recommendation I might offer him. But it’s also sort of fascinating to see the extent to which this has become a litmus test. It is impossible for his supporters to say anything other than, “No, no, no, you’re wrong. He’s not looking tired at all.” Which, ‘Orwellian’ is overblown, but it very much is. You have to deny the evidence of your eyes. Like dude’s falling asleep, and maybe he should not put himself in that position.” Trump’s apparent dozing set liberal social media ablaze, with the Democratic Party’s official account deeming him “The Commander-in-Sleep.” Watch above via MS NOW.The post ‘The Man Is Asleep!’ Chris Hayes Chuckles at ‘Daily Thing’ of Trump Appearing to Nod Off… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Susie Wiles Responds To Report She’s Quitting Trump Administration
AP Photo/Alex Brandon On Friday, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles responded to a Daily Mail report that claimed she plans to “quit” President Donald Trump’s administration, writing on X that the story is “fiction.” The exclusive, published on Friday, cited five “insiders” who told the outlet that Wiles, who has worked for Trump since 2015, is “drained” by the current state of his cabinet and took it as an “insult” when he named Federal Housing Finance Agency head Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. Wiles wrote Friday on X: After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail. To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people. Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now. See you Monday. In March, Trump posted on Truth Social that Wiles was battling breast cancer, writing: Susie Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know but, unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, and has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting. She has a fantastic medical team, and her prognosis is excellent! During the treatment period, she will be spending virtually full time at the White House, which makes me, as President, very happy! Her Strength and her Commitment to continue doing the job she loves, and does so well, while undergoing treatment, tells you everything you need to know about her. Susie, as one of my closest and most important advisors, is tough and deeply committed to serving the American People. She will soon be better than ever! Melania [Trump] and I are with her in every way, and we look forward to working with Susie on the many big and wonderful things that are happening for the benefit of our Country! President DONALD J.

Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call via AP Images President Donald Trump tried to quell fear in the markets on Friday after stocks plummeted. The S&P and the Nasdaq had the worst days of the year, tumbling 2.6% and 4.2%, respectively. The downward moves came despite a May jobs report that exceeded economists’ expectations. The U.S. added 172,000 jobs in May, beating projections of 85,000, as the unemployment rate remained at 4.3%. “With a great Jobs Report, like just announced, stocks should go up, not down,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “That’s the way it was for 200 years. Growth does not mean inflation! How else can a Country attain GREATNESS??? President DJT.” The president’s post did nothing to reverse the stock slide. In fact, they slid further. About four hours after markets closed, Trump took to his social media platform once again to talk about the stock market and declared, “IT’s RAINING JOBS”: Despite the best efforts of the America Hating Dumocrat Party, which did its very best to DESTROY the U.S.A. during the four long years of the Autopen Administration, over 172,000 AMERICANS found Jobs in the month of May alone! As usual, 100 PERCENT of Bloomberg Economists (who appear to be entering the “Terminal” stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome) underestimated our Economy. UNLIKE the phony California Election results, these numbers don’t take months and months to “trickle in” (PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!). They always say “April showers bring May flowers.” Well, here in the “HOTTEST” Country in the World, in both April AND May, IT’S RAINING JOBS! President DONALD J. TRUMP Friday’s selloff was led by slides in semiconductor and AI companies. In May, consumer sentiment fell for the third straight month as Americans continue to worry about inflation amid the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz and Trump’s tariffs.The post Trump Feverishly Tries To Reassure Markets After Stocks Plummet: ‘IT’S RAINING JOBS!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

Gavin Newsom to end former Vice President Kamala Harris’s political career in a potential showdown for the Democratic nomination in 2028 and “put her out of her misery.” On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal published a report describing the two politicians, both from California, “like two cats circling,” as they have been widely discussed as frontrunners in the battle to be the next Democratic nominee. Alongside a chyron reading “California Catfight,” Watters offered the governor some advice if they both end up announcing their candidacies: “You gotta stop pussyfooting around when you’re dealing with Harris.” He continued: This is a fight. You gotta take the gloves off. If he starts dancing around ’cause he doesn’t wanna offend blacks or women, that’s not gonna cut it. The media’s already gonna say you’re mansplaining and you’re being mean. You gotta slit her throat and then just watch her die. She can’t perform. Put her out of her misery. You see, she can’t cut it. She had a shot. She’s from the past. We can’t do the [former President Joe] Biden era anymore. As far as Hunter [Biden] is concerned, I kind of agree with Greg. I wouldn’t call him presidential timber, but I like him. He’s in a little bit of a redemption arc. But just because he did drugs and now doesn’t do drugs doesn’t excuse the fact that he’s a jerk, okay? It doesn’t make you, like, get to wipe out 20 years of being a jerk, okay? He’s still kind of a jerk, but he’s likeable now. He’s actually pretty witty. Fellow co-host Greg Gutfeld went on to invite Hunter on his show Gutfeld!, wanting to “discuss this further.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post ‘Slit Her Throat’: Jesse Watters Urges Gavin Newsom To End Kamala Harris’s Political Career and ‘Put Her Out of Her Misery’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Senate Democrats Demand Government Stop Minting Gold Coin With Trump On ItTwo Democratic senators have written to the U.S. Mint to urge the institution to halt production of gold coins with President Donald Trump on them, citing the possibility that the gold is from cartel-owned mines. Last month, a federal advisory panel with members handpicked by Trump approved a design for a 24-karat gold coin featuring the president’s likeness on the obverse. The coin is being minted to commemorate the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. Approval of the coin came amid internal discussions about putting Trump on a new $250 bill for the occasion, despite a U.S. law prohibiting living people from appearing on U.S. currency. In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Mint Director Paul Hollis dated Thursday, Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) called on the Mint to stop producing the coin. “We request that the U.S. Mint halt all production of the 250th anniversary 24-karat Trump gold coin and conduct a public supply chain audit to ensure coins are not composed of illicit cartel-linked gold,” Warren and Wyden wrote, who are the ranking members of the Senate Banking and Finance committees, respectively. “We have previously raised concerns about the Mint’s plan to release a 24-karat gold coin featuring President Trump’s image for the country’s 250th anniversary and how it will in any way benefit the American public as our nation confronts an affordability crisis of President Trump’s own making.” The senators listed six questions to be answered by June 18, including inquiries about where the coin is in the production process and what due diligence was conducted to ascertain the origin of the gold being used. “It is troubling enough that the Mint has developed a coin bearing the President’s image, which is more befitting a monarchy than a democracy,” the senators wrote. “At the very least, the Mint should ensure that a coin intended to honor the nation’s 250th anniversary is not made of gold linked to exploitation and criminal activity.” Last week, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) predicted that despite the law barring living people on U.S. currency, the Trump administration will do so anyway. Do I expect them to follow the law? No, I don’t,” Smith said. “I mean, they’re supposedly asking us this session to change the Department of Defense to the Department of War. But again, they’ve already done that. So no, I’m sure Trump will print up… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- DOJ Lawyer Argues in Court That Trump Could Demolish Statue of Liberty if He Wan...
(AP Photo/Susan Walsh President Donald Trump has sparked loud criticism for his changes to the White House, Kennedy Center, and other landmarks in the nation’s capital, but Department of Justice attorneys took it to another level Friday by arguing in court that the government would be able to “bulldoze” the Statue of Liberty, during a hearing challenging the president’s ballroom project. The ballroom has been a pet project for the president, who boasted last September that it would be “absolutely magnificent construction” and “one of the best anywhere in the world,” but it has sparked significant controversy, chiefly Trump’s broken promise that the construction “won’t interfere with the current building” and would be “near [the East Wing] but not touching it.” Very soon after Trump said that, the façade was demolished, then an additional major section, and eventually the East Wing was demolished in its entirety. The president also initially touted projects as being funded by private donors, but the specifics remained murky, and the endeavor has raised ethical questions about conflicts of interest. After the attempted shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Trump and other Republicans pushed for taxpayer funding for the ballroom. Trump has also garnered backlash for other changes he has ordered made to the White House, including the addition of a plethora of gold accents to the Oval Office, new marble and gold fixtures for the Lincoln Bathroom, and the paving of the Rose Garden. He’s also ordered a repainting of the Reflecting Pool, wants to build an Arc de Triomphe-style arch, and had his name installed on the Kennedy Center (although a judge recently ruled that had to be removed). DOJ lawyers were in court Friday before a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to defend against a lawsuit seeking to stop the ballroom project: Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee; Judge Bradley Garcia, a Biden appointee; and Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee. Politico legal reporters Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein reported on the exchange between the judges and DOJ attorney Yaakov Roth, noting that Millett and Garcia “expressed skepticism Friday about the Trump administration’s view that courts are powerless to stop the construction of the White House ballroom now that the East Wing had been demolished.” “When did it become a fait accompli?” asked Millett. “If this were complete lawlessness by the government … it… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 hours ago
