- Megyn Kelly Gets Personal in Utterly Scorching Criticism of Trump — Claims Heâ...
Megyn Kelly went scorched earth on Donald Trump during an appearance on the Hodgetwins Podcast and accused the president of cheating “on every wife he’s had” — including First Lady Melania Trump. The subject came up as the hosts spoke about Joe Kent, Trump’s former counterterrorism chief, whose wife Shannon died in a suicide bombing while serving with the U.S. military in Syria in 2019. Kent resigned from the second Trump administration in March over the U.S. war with Iran, after penning a scathing letter saying Iran “posed no imminent threat” to the United States, and accusing Israel of pressuring Trump into launching the attack. When speaking with reporters about the fallout, Trump said he was “not a fan of” Kent, and took a stab at him for remarrying “fairly quickly” after Shannon’s death. Kent married his current wife, Heather Kaiser Kent, more than four years after Shannon’s death. Trump’s criticism did not sit well with Kelly, at all. “Talk about a glass house!” Kelly exclaimed. “I mean, Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. I mean, he met Marla Maples while he was still married to the mother of his children, Ivana. It was all over the New York papers.” “And by the way,” Kelly continued, “Ivana, his first wife, accused him of raping her. She alleged in her first book that he was so angry over the hair transplant he got, that she made him get. It was so painful, that he raped her. And she later retracted that when he ran for president, but that stood on the books for some time. I don’t know whether that’s true or not, but just saying, clearly not a great relationship there. And then he winds up with Melania, and you know, if you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania that’s great. You got bigger issues than I can solve here.” That came a moment after Kelly told the story of how her father died suddenly of a heart attack when he was just 45. “And my mother was 44 and was absolutely devastated. They had a true love affair, my parents. They deeply loved one another. And my mom, who’s a nurse, was left with nothing. She had his one small life insurance policy and that’s it. She had three kids, two of whom were in college. And she was devastated, her world was blown apart,” Kelly… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Dana White Argues Trump Isn’t Racist Because He Was Pals With Michael Jackson:... UFC boss Dana White said critics who brand President Donald Trump a racist don’t know what the hell they’re talking about because Trump had a great relationship with one of the most famous Black men in history — Michael Jackson. White defended his old pal during a podcast interview with The New Yorker editor David Remnick on May 22. “These things that he’s a racist and he’s a Nazi and he’s this and that — I mean, Donald Trump, all this stuff’s coming out now,” White said. “You know, the Michael movie just came out, and you see all these videos now popping up of Trump defending Michael Jackson and the type of person that he was and that Michael Jackson was around his children and around his family a lot.” Remnick raised his hands in disbelief at that example. “But wait a minute, Dana! Michael Jackson — as talented as he was, as brilliant as he was — was a deeply, deeply flawed human being, to say the least,” Remnick said. “And was abusive [from] everything we know about him.” White said there was “no doubt” the “King of Pop” was flawed, before asking “he was abusive?” “To kids, yes. It’s terrible,” Remnick said. He was obviously referring to Jackson being accused of sexually abusing multiple children, including claims made against the “Beat It” singer in 1993 and a criminal trial against him a decade later. Jackson was acquitted on all counts in 2005. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I can tell you the president had a very good relationship with Michael Jackson and had Michael Jackson around his kids all the time,” White responded. “And you know, defended him when that stuff was going down. So to call the guy a racist is crazy. He’s not a racist.” Remnick said he didn’t want to push the topic too much more, but he asked White if he got “the willies” from Trump posting a video depictinng ex-President Barack Obama as an ape earlier this year. “If he was that type of person, I never would associate with that type of a person, no matter who he was,” White said. ” But if he does that, how is he not that kind of person?” Remnick followed up. “He’s not,” White told him.

- One Big Reason Kamala Harris Lost in 2024? The ‘Backlash Against a Black Woman...Former Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump largely because of the “backlash against a Black woman,” according to one prominent Washington, D.C. reporter. Dana Milbank — a former Washington Post columnist who now writes for Notus — shared his thoughts during an appearance on ABC’s This Week. The roundtable was discussing the Democratic National Committee’s autopsy on the ’24 race, which was released a few days ago. Milbank said it didn’t take a doctorate in political science to figure out racism played a big part in it. “Why did Democrats lose? Well, it’s like Captain obvious, right? Why did incumbent parties all around the world lose at that time, it was high inflation. And that was coupled with the problems of Biden staying in the race too long and the backlash against a Black woman being the Democratic nominee,” Milbank said. “There you have it. Pretty simple right there.” Harris being Black did not stop the American public from electing her alongside ex-President Joe Biden in 2020, nor did ex-President Barack Obama being Black stop him from winning the 2008 and 2012 elections. But the combo of Harris being Black and a woman was apparently too much to overcome. The DNC autopsy pointed to several reasons it believes Harris lost to Trump, including the inability to overcome “misinformation” from Republicans and the press. “In the face of misinformation and disinformation, our candidates have proven incapable of projecting strength, unity, and leadership, and voters have drifted away. Indeed, many of our critical Democratic wins can be attributed to negative partisanship — where Republicans have nominated deeply flawed candidates,” the report said. Another problem? Biden putting Harris in charge of the border, which the report said set her up for failure. “Democrats won the election and President Biden assigned the Vice President a brief including immigration, which was poorly framed by Republicans as the ‘border czar.’ It was not the official title, but it was the one that the media propagated and the White House failed to contradict or correct,” the report said. There may be another opportunity to see if the American public is willing to make Harris president sooner than later. A new Rasmussen poll showed Harris has a big lead on other liberal contenders like California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to secure the Democratic nomination in… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Bashes ‘Losers’ Ripping His Iran Negotiations: ‘I Don’t Make Bad D...
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump went on a mini-rant against the “losers’ who are criticizing him for reported details of his negotiations with Iran, with the president saying they need to keep their yaps shut for now because the deal “isn’t even fully negotiated yet.” Trump slammed his detractors in a post on Truth Social on Sunday afternoon. “I don’t make bad deals!” Trump said at the end of his post. Before that, he said everyone needs to wait and see what the deal is before ripping it — “if” he even makes a deal, he said. Trump also jabbed ex-President Barack Obama for his agreement with Iran, saying his deal would be the “exact opposite” and make sure Iran cannot develop a nuclear weapon. Read his full post below: If I make a deal with Iran, it will be a good and proper one, not like the one made by Obama, which gave Iran massive amounts of CASH, and a clear and open path to a Nuclear Weapon. Our deal is the exact opposite, but nobody has seen it, or knows what it is. It isn’t even fully negotiated yet. So don’t listen to the losers, who are critical about something they know nothing about. Unlike those before me who should have solved this problem many years ago, I don’t make bad deals! President DJT That post came a little while after Trump seemed to respond to skepticism from top Republicans like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). “Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” Trump said earlier on Sunday. He continued, “I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well!” The New York Times reported on Sunday that the Trump administration and Iran had agreed in principle to a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Axios reporter Barak Ravid reported a deal is not expected to be announced on Sunday. There are “still several details to close,” he reported. A senior Trump administration official says the agreement… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - WATCH: House Republican Delivers Awkward Defense of Trump’s IRS Deal By Blamin...Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) gave an awkward response when Face The Nation’s Nancy Cordes asked how he would explain away President Donald Trump’s sweetheart deal with the IRS to his constituents. “How are you explaining to your constituents this new settlement that prevents the IRS from auditing any Trump family documents prior to this year?” Cordes asked on Sunday’s show. “Well, I think when it comes to any agreements that the president has made with the IRS, from my vantage point, you know, I think looking back at what the Biden administration did, they certainly weaponized the government and were targeting the president,” Lawler said. “And I think he obviously had claims that he brought against the government as a result of that.” Lawler gave no further explanation and Cordes didn’t push him. Other GOP lawmakers have vehemently opposed the fund, with Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) calling it “stupid on stilts.” Trump sued his own IRS for $10 billion after an employee leaked Trump family tax returns to the press during the president’s first term in office. The Department of Justice announced last week that Trump essentially settled with himself, agreeing to drop the suit in exchange for a $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” for anyone who felt persecuted by the federal government during the Biden administration. Critics were quick to call the arrangement a “slush fund” and warned that January 6 rioters who were found guilty on various charges before being pardoned by Trump, could cash in for millions. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche justified the fact that rioters who harmed Capitol police could end up millionaires, telling CNN’s Paula Reid, “People that hurt police get money all the time.” He added, “There’s a process where … if you believe you have your rights violated, you can apply for funds, you can sue, you can file a claim, you can go to court. In some of those cases, the state, the government, the federal government settles those cases. “It’s abhorrent to ever, ever touch a law enforcement officer, which is why anytime anybody does that and it’s a federal officer, we’ll prosecute them. But that’s a completely different question than whether an individual is allowed to apply for a claim.” One rioter named Brandon Fellows, who broke into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, told CNN he was claiming $30 million for wrongful imprisonment after serving more than… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Defends Iran Deal Amid Blowback from Ted Cruz, Pompeo and Others on Right:...
(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social Sunday morning, seemingly in response to the blowback his still-to-be-finalized Iran peace agreement has been receiving from some conservatives. Prominent Republicans like Trump’s former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have expressed trepidation with the way the talks are progressing. “One of the worst deals ever made by our Country was the Iran Nuclear Deal, put forth and signed into existence by Barack Hussein Obama and the rank amateurs of the Obama Administration,” Trump wrote. “It was a direct path to Iran developing a Nuclear Weapon. Not so with the transaction currently being negotiated with Iran by the Trump Administration – THE EXACT OPPOSITE, in fact!” Trump continued: The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side. The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes! Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb. I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well! On Saturday, Trump announced that a peace deal had been “largely negotiated” and was on the verge of being signed. Trump did not give any details, writing, “Final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.” Earlier Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters during a trip to India, discussed the prospect of the deal becoming final. “I don’t have news for you at this very moment, but there might be some news a little later today,” Rubio said. “There may not be. I hope there will be, but I’m not sure yet.” ——The post Trump Defends Iran Deal Amid Blowback from Ted Cruz, Pompeo and Others on Right: ‘EXACT OPPOSITE’ Of Obama’s Deal! first appeared on Mediaite.
