- Fox Anchor Accuses Reporters Of ‘Taunting’ Trump By ‘Using The Term Chickening Out’
Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo accused reporters of trying to “taunt” President Donald Trump by “using the term chickening out” — a term that has become popular with stock professionals. The derisive Wall Street acronym TACO — “Trump Always Chickens Out” — broke big this week when the New York Post ran an item about investors embracing the “TACO trade” strategy to outsmart Trump’s chaotic market-roiling tariff policies. Less than a day later, CNBC Washington Correspondent Megan Cassella got attacked during an Oval Office event for asking Trump about the strategy. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on Thursday morning’s edition of Fox Business Network’s Mornings With Maria, during which the anchor made reference to the confrontation that Cassella called “a badge of honor”: MARIA BARTIROMO, FBN ANCHOR: Joining me now is White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett. Kevin, good to see you. Thank you so much. KEVIN HASSETT: Good to see you. BARTIROMO:… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago - Karoline Leavitt Twists Herself in Knots to Avoid Answering Question on Elon Musk Slamming Trump Bud...White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went out of her way to avoid answering a question about Elon Musk slamming the budget bill backed by President Donald Trump. Musk, in a clip from a CBS interview which premiered Tuesday, argued the “big, beautiful” budget bill currently awaiting a vote in the Senate will explode the national deficit. “I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not decrease it and undermines the work the DOGE team is doing,” Musk said. He added, “I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful. But I don’t know if it can be both.” Trump was confronted, during a press engagement Wednesday, about Musk’s comments — and he replied by focusing on the bill itself, rather than Musk’s criticism. CBS News White House correspondent Weijia Jiang, during Thursday’s briefing, tried again. “President… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago
- White House Dismisses Fake Sources Cited in RFK Jr.’s MAHA Report as ‘Formatting Issues’White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the significance of fake sources being cited in a report put together by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again Commission on Thursday, earning a follow-up question about whether the report had been generated by artificial intelligence NOTUS reported on Thursday morning that the report is “rife with errors, from broken links to misstated conclusions,” and that “seven of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all.” At a press briefing later in the day, NOTUS’s Jasmine Wright asked Leavitt for the White House’s reaction to the news: WRIGHT: A NOTUS investigation found that the hallmark MAHA Commission report that was released last week cites studies that appear to not exist. We know that because in part, we reached out to some of the listed authors who said that they didn’t write the… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago
- ‘Intimidated By a CNN Story’: Trump Official Fired By Ric Grenell Over Anti-Gay Posts Lashes Out
An activist who was appointed to a top role at The Kennedy Center says he was fired just a few weeks into the job, and just hours after CNN approached both him and the Center’s interim president Richard Grenell about a story on his past public comments about homosexuality. Floyd Brown, founder of popular MAGA news site Western Journal, was appointed just weeks ago to the role of Vice President of Development at The Kennedy Center as part of the restructuring by President Donald Trump, who also appointed himself Chairman in February. As CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported Thursday, the outlet reached out to Brown for comment on “past statements include calling homosexuality ‘a punishment’ upon America and condemning the legality of gay sex” and other controversial comments or conspiracy theories. “His appointment, which had not been formally announced by the Kennedy Center, had sparked internal concern among some staffers,… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago - Fox Contributor Mollie Hemingway Opens White House Press Briefing By Complaining About Media Coverag...Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway called out members of the media to their faces from the “new media seat” at Thursday’s White House press briefing.

While asking about the administration’s handling of judges blocking pieces of President Donald Trump’s agenda, Hemingway called out the media during Trump’s first term for its coverage of supposed ties between the president and Russia.

- Karoline Leavitt Comes Out Swinging Against Judges Who ‘Usurped’ Trump’s Power to Impose Tarif...White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt began Thursday’s briefing by railing against judges for blocking President Donald Trump’s tariffs. The day before, a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump “overstepped his authority to impose sweeping tariffs.” Their decision halted Trump’s tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, and also blocked his universal 10% tariffs with all U.S. trade partners. The Trump administration quickly appealed the decision. On Thursday afternoon, Leavitt opened the briefing with an attack on the judges: Last night, the Trump administration faced another example of judicial overreach. Using his full and proper legal authority, President Trump imposed universal tariffs and reciprocal tariffs on “Liberation Day” to address the extraordinary threat to our national security and economy posed by large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits. The United States has run a trade deficit of goods every year since 1975.… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago
