- CNN’s Table For Five Guests List Off Trump’s Broken Promises: ‘Gonna Look ...
CNN’s Table For Five guests argued Saturday that President Donald Trump has carved out a trail of broken promises leading up to the November midterms that could prove disastrous for Republicans. This, despite Trump declaring at an upstate New York rally Friday, “When you look at what we’ve done, and my motto is promises made, promises kept.” “He needs to be focusing on the issues,” said Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served in the first Trump administration. “He got elected on pocketbook issues: the economy, the cost of living. And that seems to be always in the rearview mirror for him. We’re talking about ballrooms. We’re talking about the ‘Arch de Trump.’ Like, these are not things that are helping people make ends meet.” She continued, “And I’m a little bit stunned because I was in the White House for midterms 2018 when he lost the House and he lost the Senate. He knows that that is followed by investigations and oversight, something he’s had the benefit of not facing for the last two years. If he puts the Senate into play, that puts a lot of things into play, including impeachment. And I would think you’d be focused on winning.” “Trump has not delivered on any of the things he promised,” said Democratic pundit Isaiah Martin. “He said we wouldn’t be paying income taxes, and I think we all pay income taxes.” “He said we wouldn’t have any Middle East wars,” added journalist Josh Rogin. “He said gas would be down.” “He said we’d have a dollar-something gas,” Martin said. “He said he’d cut our energy bills in half within his first year of being in office. None of that stuff happened!” “You know, 80% of Republicans is not a majority of people in this country that are going to vote,” Rogin continued. “And all those independents and all those states are facing increased gas prices, increased cost of living, inflation. You can’t buy a house. Health care, and and the economy is getting worse as the Iraq war goes on. So that’s going to look pretty bad in November! And Trump doesn’t seem to care. He doesn’t seem to want to do anything except to tell everybody that he’s always right all the time.” “Honestly, maybe I’m being overly optimistic here. I really feel that we are nearing the end of this Iran war,” said conservative voice… [TheTopNews] Read More.13 mins ago - Marco Rubio Drops Iran Update as Trump Says We’re ‘Closer’ to a Deal: ‘T...Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday he hopes some major “news” comes out of meetings about the ongoing Iran war, just days after President Donald Trump revealed he postponed an attack. Rubio spoke to reporters while in India on Saturday amid negotiations between White House and Iran officials about the ongoing Iran conflict. The president changed his schedule on Friday to remain at the White House after saying he was skipping his son Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding due to Iran and other situations needing his attention. Rubio told reporters: I don’t have news for you at this very moment, but there might be some news a little later today. There may not be. I hope there will be, but I’m not sure yet. The question is about the Iranian issue. And as I said, there’s been some progress done, some progress made, even as I speak to you now, there’s some work being done. There is a chance that whether it’s later today, tomorrow, in a couple of days, we may have something to say. But this issue needs to be solved, as the president has said, one way or the other. Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. The Strait needs to be open without tolls. They need to turn over their enriched uranium. They need to turn over their highly enriched uranium. Rubio added that the president prefers to deal with Iran in a “diplomatic” way over militarily. “That’s what we’re working on, and perhaps there’ll be something to talk about on that topic while I’m here on this visit at some point,” he said. Trump is reportedly speaking with Gulf and other regional leaders on Saturday by phone to discuss the state of the Iran war and proposals to bring it to a close. Iran has continued targeting and charging tolls to ships in the Strait of Hormuz, where roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply moves through. Trump and other officials have spoken about negotiations being made more difficult thanks to Iran’s fractured leadership structure after strikes from the United States and Iran. During a press conference this week, the president said he stopped a planned attack on Iran after allies convinced him to give more time to negotiations. “I was an hour away. We were all set to go. You’re talking about yesterday? We were going to be striking very– it… [TheTopNews] Read More.18 mins ago
- Survivor Loser Bitterly Complains After Loss — Questions Legitimacy of Game: â... Survivor 50 contestant Jonathan Young bitterly complained about the jury process after he lost the $2 millioin prize to a competitor he felt he had bested. The 50th season of Survivor went out with a bang this week when host Jeff Probst biffed it hard during the live finale, revealing that 3rd runner-up Rizo Velovic had lost the fire-making challenge before that segment had aired. Aubry Bracco wound up beating Young 5 votes to 3, with Joe Hunter posting a goose-egg in the final vote. But the season was epic for fans in many other ways, as past all-stars, winners, and near-missers competed in a twist-filled game that was influenced by fan votes and contributions by celebrity Survivor-heads like Billie Eilish and Mr. Beast. After the finale, fourth runner-up Tiffany Ervin revealed a conversation with Young that was deleted from the show, and which made her angry going into the jury deliberations. In an interview with Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly, Young decried the result and questioned its fairness, musing “if that’s a jury, then I’m confused, you know?”: DALTON ROSS: A live finale is always awkward, because it’s a celebration, right? It’s a celebration of the season, it’s a celebration of the winner. And you have got to sit there and be on the other end of that somewhat. Tell me what that was like for you last night in that big room. JONATHAN YOUNG: Oh, Mr. Dalton, it hurt me so bad. ‘Cause I know I did everything I could do ’cause I had thought about Survivor for four years, and I don’t think I could’ve played … I don’t know what I could’ve done different. I keep trying … I keep going back to: What do I learn from this? God, what do you want me to learn? And I don’t know yet. I don’t know what I’m learning because I believe deep in my heart that I played the better game. I know I did. But because Aubry’s played five times, that weighed on a lot of the jury votes. And is that fair? That’s up to the fans and up to Survivor to decide. But if that’s a jury, then I’m confused, you know? It’s just there’s a lot of questions that you have going at the end of the game.

- Mary Trump Bashes Don Jr. In Extreme Rant on Wedding Weekend — ‘Horrible Lit... Estranged presidential niece Mary Trump had some choice words for First Son Donald Trump Jr. on the occasion of his wedding weekend, unleashing a barrage of attacks as she urged viewers not to sympathize with him over the absence of President Donald Trump at the nuptials. Don Jr. is marrying Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson in a “small” ceremony on an island in the Bahamas this weekend — but Trump announced on Friday that he would definitely be skipping the big day. “While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time. Congratulations to Don and Bettina! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” On Friday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, host Dean Obeidallah brought up the president’s absence, and Mary absolutely dumped all over her cousin — but joked she might show up and walk him down the aisle in her uncle’s place: DEAN OBEIDALLAH: And you know where Donald Trump is today? He’s with Mike Lawler, the Republican congressman in West Chester in New York. He’d rather be with Michael Lawler and get people cheering at him at an event. Seriously, cheering him, then go on his own son’s wedding. It says so much. There’s something deeper. And again, you’re a psychologist and you know, the family, obviously being part of it, it’s something so much deeper we’re dealing with. We are dealing something that, you know not just like mental health professionals and political scientists will be studying this administration for a long, long time. So, I mean, look, when you look at him now, we’ve talked before about the cognitive changes, the difference in it. We see a lack of impulse control that I didn’t see in the first term. We see him falling asleep. I know that some people are like, oh, they were trying, like Michael Cohen was trying to cover for it, going, he closes his eyes. He didn’t do that in the 1st term. We didn’t seem to close his eyes. DEAN OBEIDALLAH: We see the lack of his impulse control with saying to the reporter, “shut up, piggy.”. You know,… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- Fox Anchor Confronts Trump Ally About Low Approval Ratings Amid Midterms Scrambl...Fox News’ Jonathan Hunt confronted Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) Saturday about low approval ratings and how Republicans plan to fix Americans’ “economic pain” before they go to the polls to vote in the midterms in November. Lawler was just off a President Donald Trump–headlined rally in Rockland County, New York, where the president praised Lawler for the State and Local Tax Deductions (SALT) in his state. “That was quite the compliment, I guess, the president paid you yesterday,” Hunt said about Trump calling Lawler, “Mr. SALT.” “No question. It’s nicest nickname he’s ever given anybody,” Lawler responded. “I mean, we saw on average, people were getting anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 refund checks because we were able to quadruple the SALT cap from $10,000 to $40,000 and provide real tax relief, you know, to New York’s high tax burden, both property and state income under Kathy Hochul.” He continued, “So, you know, my constituents, over 90% of them were able to fully deduct their state and local taxes and received a big boost which helps with everyday expenses, it helps with housing costs, health care costs, grocery costs, gasoline costs. So, it was a big, big win and something that I was happy to welcome the president to my district to celebrate.” “A lot of Americans in your district, as well as others across the country, are really still feeling economic pain when they look at their paychecks right now and how they’re having to spend it,” Hunt said. ” The president not getting good approval ratings right now. How do you and he fix that before November’s midterms?” “Look, there are some really positive indicators,” Lawler answered. “Take home pay is up. The stock market continues to hit record highs which certainly impacts 401(k) accounts, retirements. But there are some challenges, still.” Lawler continued: Whether you’re talking about housing costs, health care, and energy, and so, we are focused on that in Washington, we passed a bipartisan housing bill this week. We’re focused on bringing interest rates down on 30-year fixed mortgage rates. We’ve already cut it in half from where it was under Joe Biden. Energy costs are critical, which is why we’re focused on permitting reform so we can actually increase domestic production of energy. If the situation in the Middle East has taught us anything, it’s that we never want to be reliant on… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Don Lemon Goes Off on Trump Press Corps — Demands They Stand Up Against Attack... Independent journalist Don Lemon used the ouster of Stephen Colbert as an example of how the Trump White House press corps should stand up to President Donald Trump. Lemon — who has also been attacked by the president and arrested by his federal forces — marked Colbert’s exit with an impassioned Substack essay entitled, “Don’t Cry For Stephen Colbert. Cry For The First Amendment.” But on Thursday’s edition of The Don Lemon Show podcast, he widened his focus to the White House reporters who watch as Trump attacks their colleagues, urging them to stand together the way late-night hosts did in solidarity with Colbert: DON LEMON: Now all of the late night shows are going dark, so that Stephen gets all the shine. That’s how you stand up for each other. Excuse me, hold on. Press Corps, White House Press Corps! Are you listening to this? All of his competitors, all of his colleagues, Stephen Colbert, they’re going dark because they want to give him the shine! They want give him support. So the next time, I know I’m going off here. The next time someone calls one of your coworkers a piggy, the next time he calls them a loser, the next he insults them, the next times he tells a Black woman that she knows dirt better than him. Say something! Ask the same question as the person before. Give that person perhaps the floor! And if they move on to someone else, then so be it. Then the next reporter should keep doing the same thing. Stop trying to get the, I gotta get my question in because my network wants me to get to the question, my network–. You’re gonna be there for a long time. You’ll get your question in. What’s more important is that you stand up for the First Amendment! You stand up for the freedom of the press! You stand for respect. Remember, Donald Trump and all of his goons, all of those people who are unqualified to be there, they all work for you. It’s not the other way around. Do not let Karoline Leavitt. Call on the next person when you’re not finishing your question. Stand up for your colleagues. Stand up yourself. Have some dignity and a backbone. So watch Stephen Colbert tonight. Really, really, really watch them. Everyone, including the journalists. Watch what a man or a person or a woman looks like or should… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
