- ‘Wake-Up Call for Americans’: Hillary Clinton Warns Trump Wants to ‘Model ...
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton warned that President Donald Trump wants to “model himself” after Russian dictator Vladimir Putin as she hailed the electoral loss of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as a “defeat” for the “unholy alliance” of “autocrats and wannabe autocrats.” Orbán, whose re-election bid drew endorsement from Trump, conceded defeat in Hungary’s prime ministerial race, bringing an end to his party’s 16-year hold on power on Sunday. The vote followed a late push from Washington to bolster Orbán’s campaign that saw Vice President JD Vance travel to Budapest last week. Orbán’s defeat marked a significant moment for both the Trump administration and Moscow, which had viewed the Hungarian leader as a key strategic ally. For Trump, Orbán had served as a reliable Eurosceptic voice within the bloc, while for Russia, his tenure proved consequential in shaping the EU’s response to the war in Ukraine, where he repeatedly delayed sanctions packages and financial aid measures. Calling into MS NOW’s Morning Joe on Monday, Clinton hailed the defeat as one shared by Putin and Trump, arguing it was a “wake up call” for American voters: What we have here is this really unholy alliance among autocrats and wannabe autocrats. And, you know, Viktor Orbán morphed from an anti-communist, anti-Russian young student leader in Hungary into a toady for, you know, Vladimir Putin. And, you know, this isn’t the first election that Putin interfered in, as I know very well, and it won’t be the last. But this was a resounding defeat for Putin. And what it should tell us is that given the chance, people will not tolerate the kind of oppression that Orbán was imposing on them. Clinton argued that Orbán was “dominating the government” and judiciary in Hungary, as well as “strangling the free press” and “taking over the universities.” Arguing a parallel with Trump, she added: Some of that may sound very familiar to your viewers, and what we should be learning from this is that you cannot allow one man rule, because one man rule leads to corruption, it leads to oppression, it leads to reckless adventures like we’re seeing with Trump in Iran. It leads to a kind of destruction of democratic institutions. And so I think this is a wake up call for Americans. I don’t care what you call yourself politically, if you are an American, you care about… [TheTopNews] Read More.52 mins ago - ‘Get Rid of All of Them!’ Fox Host Backs Plan to Expel ‘Dirty’ Lawmakers...Fox News host Lawrence Jones threw his support behind a plan to expel “dirty” lawmakers from Congress en masse, including a Republican representative who he branded a “complete disgrace.” The declaration came during a segment on Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), who suspended his gubernatorial bid in an X post late Sunday after several rape and sexual misconduct allegations surfaced. After reporter Alex Hogan brought the latest on the Swalwell saga, Jones suggested a broader scope and punishment for misbehaving lawmakers. “I do like the idea of the motion to get rid of all of them,” Jones said. “There is many congressmen and congresswomen that are just dirty. Gonzalez in Texas has become a complete disgrace. I like the idea of them cleaning house. Put ’em all on one ballot and expel them all so we can get clean politicians in this. Jones was referring to Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-TX), who dropped his reelection bid under pressure from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, but remains a sitting congressman. Read the exchange below: ALEX HOGAN: Swalwell has been accused of sexual misconduct by four women. Allegations include one former staffer who says he sexually assaulted her on two occasions. The 45-year-old Democrat has repeatedly denied these claims. Last night he made the announcement on X suspending his campaign writing, quote, “To my family, staff, friends and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made my past. I will fight these serious false allegations that have been made. But that’s my fight not a campaign’s.” Now the Department of Homeland security is investigating another case, whether Swalwell hired a Brazilian nanny illegally without the proper paperwork. The House is back in session today. Some Democrats and Republicans have said that if Swalwell does not resign, they will try to bring these votes to force him out of the post. Back to you. BRIAN KILMEADE: Yeah, he doesn’t seem he has any support. Thank you so much, Alex. LAWRENCE JONES: I do like the idea of the motion to get rid of all of them. There is many congressmen and congresswomen that are just dirty. Gonzalez in Texas- AINSLEY EARHARDT: The Republican, right. JONES: … has become a complete disgrace. I like the idea of them cleaning house. Put ’em all on one ballot and expel them all so we can get clean politicians in there. EARHARDT:… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- Senator Chris Coons Condemns Trump’s ‘Shocking’ Post Depicting Himself as ...Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) condemned President Donald Trump for posting an image of himself as Jesus Christ on Monday, accusing him of “attacking one of the world’s greatest religions.” “We’re coming back from an Easter recess, a recess in which President Trump opened on Easter with a hateful, angry tweet suggesting he was about to wipe out an entire civilization,” said Coons during an appearance on MS NOW’s Morning Joe: And when Pope Leo, the leader of 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, pushed back on that statement, pushed back on war and President Trump’s immigration policies, as well as his conduct of this war in Iran, President Trump has escalated by personally attacking the Pope and then shockingly this morning posting an AI-generated visual of him as Jesus Christ. Mika, there’s 70 million Catholics in this country. This is an overwhelmingly Christian country, but a country of faith where we respect each other that was rooted in freedom of worship, freedom of religion. He continued, “One of the things I’ve been struck by is the silence of so many of my colleagues on the other side,” adding, “I am hopeful we will hear some voices this week speaking up and saying our national leader, our president should not be attacking one of the world’s greatest religions. Should not be putting himself in this space of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and of one of the most important figures in world history, not least of which spiritual history.” “This a watershed moment for those who want to stand for decency and for the values that founded our country,” Coons concluded. Trump’s post depicting himself as Jesus Christ was also condemned by many conservative commentators, who accused the president of “blasphemy.” Former Republican congresswoman and Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene went one step further with her condemnation of the post, writing, “It’s more than blasphemy. It’s an Antichrist spirit.” Watch above via MS NOW.The post Senator Chris Coons Condemns Trump’s ‘Shocking’ Post Depicting Himself as Jesus Christ: ‘Attacking One of the World’s Greatest Religions’ first appeared on Mediaite.

(AP Photo/Evan Vucci) Bishop Robert Barron, a member of President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission and frequent guest on Fox News channel as well as contributor to Fox News Digital, slammed the commander-in-chief on Monday morning over his stunning attack on Pope Leo XIV the previous evening. “The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration–Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others–might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media,” wrote Barron in a post on X. “I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.” The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation.

He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Post of Himself as ‘Jesus’ Includes Strange Horned Creature Not in Ori...
(Screengrab via X/TruthSocial) President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image depictimg himself late Sunday as a Jesus-like character healing a sick man, but the image included one not-so-subtle change from the original posted months ago by a MAGA fan – swapping out a U.S. soldier for a horned creature with wings. The president’s religious depiction of himself in the viral image alone was enough to draw furious criticism from even his most die-hard supporters, who accused him of “blasphemy” and urged him to remove it. (Screengrab via Truth Social) Elsewhere, however, others drew attention to what The Bulwark’s culture editor Sonny Bunch highlighted as “demons” in the background over Trump’s left shoulder: Sure but the thing about Donald Trump is that he’s a completely irreligious person and, as a result, doesn’t actually care about the image of himself as Jesus with demons over his shoulder. https://t.co/gNQqmgFujb pic.twitter.com/q6JvLXEDCK — Sonny Bunch (@SonnyBunch) April 13, 2026 The image itself was found to be a regurgitation of one posted back in February by MAGA influencer Nick Adams. Adams had initially framed the image as Trump healing a “sick” America and had been criticized at the time for the depiction. America has been sick for a long time. President Trump is healing this nation. pic.twitter.com/zPEgkuv8tJ — Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA) February 4, 2026 The original image does feature figures standing over Trump’s shoulder, they appear to be U.S. soldiers, however, the image posted by Trump on Sunday had swapped one of those figures with what seems to be a three-horned creature with wings. X user @Mend_alyn was one of the first to point out the change, posting to the two images side-by-side: Trump’s Truth Social post added the horned figure (at the top) to an already disgusting picture @NickAdamsinUSA shared in February. pic.twitter.com/RWGdQoWzIX — mend_alyn (@mend_alyn) April 13, 2026 MAGA influencer Matt Wallace then also called on his 2.3 million followers to “spot the difference.” On the left is the original On the right is the one posted by Trump tonight See if you can spot the difference! pic.twitter.com/96tQ2oqNKg — Matt Wallace (@MattWallace888) April 13, 2026 It is unclear where the president sourced the image from, when it was picked up, or whether it was altered by anyone on his team. However, the version he shared appears to have undergone an additional round… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
