- ‘So Stupidly!’ Trump Rips Supreme Court — Including Justices ‘Nominated ...
President Donald Trump sounded off on the Supreme Court in a rant delivered during a Tuesday morning interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box. “You know, we had a little setback with the Supreme Court. They said I can charge tariffs, but I have to do it a different way. And because of what they did, we have to pay back $160 billion. All they had to do is add one sentence, just one sentence. And that’s: you don’t have to pay anything taken in thus far back. But because they didn’t add — and by the way, it was a close call too. There were justices that were powerful that I was right on the tariffs. But because we lost by just two votes, you know, just little vote, two votes, we have to pay back $165 billion. They could have, with a little one sentence — you don’t have to paid back tariffs that have already been received, you start from this point, and you do it a different way. So we’re doing it a different, we’re going to end up with the same,” began Trump, referencing the Court’s 6-3 decision to strike down the tariffs Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. “Actually, we’ll end up with bigger numbers, actually, but it’s a little more unwieldy, but it’s the way it’s been done. But it’s so sad that the Supreme Court didn’t want to save our country with one sentence, $165 billion. And we’re giving a lot of that money back to people that hate our country, so I’m not happy with the Supreme Court. I’ll be honest with you, OK?” After co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin followed up by asking whether some companies might not be seeking tariff refunds because they’re afraid of “offending” the president, Trump professed to be “honored” by the sentiment before turning his attention back to the Court. “I’m looking to make this country strong. Supreme Court could have helped us. Now they have birthright citizenship, they’ll probably rule against us. No country in the world has it. It’s horrible for our country, and I just see it, you know. I see some of these Republicans that are nominated by me asking real bad questions — and looks like maybe we’re gonna lose that one too,” mused Trump, who proceeded to launch into an extended riff about college sports before again… [TheTopNews] Read More.31 mins ago - Trump Blurts Stunning Claim About Vietnam War — Which He Avoided Serving InPresident Donald Trump blurted out a stunning claim about the Vietnam War in a CNBC interview — which was made all the more stunning by the fact that he avoided service in that war and called avoiding an STD his own personal Vietnam. Trump famously avoided the Vietnam draft through a series of deferments that included a medical claim of “bone spurs” that has been discredited by the family of the doctor who made the diagnosis. Decades later, Trump made repeated references to the avoidance of STDs as his own “personal Vietnam,” telling Howard Stern in one interview that “It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” But in a lengthy interview on Monday morning’s edition of CNBC’s Squawk Box, Trump brought into bold relief the consequences of his sacrifice in sitting out the war when he told the show’s co-hosts that “I would’ve won Vietnam very quickly.” In the same rant, Trump also said he had expected, going in, for the stock market to crash by twenty percent and that the Iran War is already won: PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Where it’s, you know, look at that S&P, the numbers are what they were when we started this whole thing. I thought they’d be down 20% or down a very substantial amount. Even when it was down more a couple of weeks ago, I was surprised. I thought it would be down much more and I thought the oil would be much higher. And I’m very happy to say that it wasn’t. And when it’s over, and it will end… When it’s over you know they wanted to be over immediately and I just looked at a little chart. World War I, four years and three months. World War II, six years, Korean War three years, Vietnam, 19 years, Iraq eight years. I’m five months, OK? Five months. I would have won Vietnam very quickly, I would’ve, if I were president. I would’ve won Iraq in the same amount of time that we want, because essentially… We’ve won here okay.

- ‘Kind of Tired of You Being Called Pastor’: Tim Miller GOES OFF on Pete Hegs...The Bulwark’s Tim Miller torched controversial Pastor Doug Wilson, a self-described Christian nationalist, as someone who preached “hate” and taught “fake Christianity” while refusing to call his co-panelist by a religious title. Wilson, co-founder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, the chosen denomination of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Monday night alongside Miller and New York Times writer Wajahat Ali to discuss President Donald Trump’s feuding with Pope Leo XIV and Iran. As the panel debated U.S. involvement in joint strikes against the Iranian regime alongside Israel, Miller casually dismissed Wilson as a “quote-unquote pastor.” However, after answering a question from host Piers Morgan about images of an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldier smashing a Jesus statue with a hammer in Lebanon, Wilson replied to Miller, saying: “I’ve been a quote-unquote pastor for just shy of 50 years. And so I’d like to know how much longer I have to go before I become a real pastor.” “Well, you have to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, probably,” The Bulwark pundit fired back, “if you want to be a real pastor.” As Morgan attempted to cut in, Miller doubled down: “I mean, you can call yourself how you want, Doug – I’m just going to call you Doug – I’m kind of tired of you being called pastor, but you know –” “I think we can afford him –” Morgan attempted to inject some cordiality. Miller, however, hammered on: “You’re out there. You hate everybody. You attack black people, gay people, immigrants, like all you do is spread hate. Your book that you’ve got behind there is, you know, talking about how much you love bad words!” “Look, if you want to teach like this kind of fake Christianity, that’s fine,” he continued. “Have you read it?” Wilson replied. “No, I’ve not read your book, very happy to have not read your book,” Miller said. “But if you want to do this kind of vice signaling Christianity where ‘we’re going to do Christian vices’ –” Wilson cut in: “You should probably stop commenting on what it’s about.” “I’ve seen enough of your material on social media that it doesn’t really require any more. I mean, it’s not like there’s a ton of deep thought that’s going behind it that requires further study,” Miller said. Quipping about the earlier debate on the show, about… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Jeffrey Epstein Lawyer Alan Dershowitz Registers as Republican After 67 Years in...
Sarah Yenesel/Pool Photo via AP Former Jeffrey Epstein lawyer Alan Dershowitz announced on Monday that he would be registering as a Republican for the first time in his life after 67 years as a registered Democrat. In an op-ed piece for the Wall Street Journal entitled “Why I’m Becoming a Republican,” Dershowitz announced that he would be joining the Republican Party in protest over the opposition to Israel among some members of the Democratic Party. “I am a lifelong Democrat. I started campaigning for the party’s local candidates as a teenager in Brooklyn, N.Y., have been a registered Democrat for 67 years, made speeches for John F. Kennedy as a college student, and can count on one hand the number of Republicans I’ve ever supported for any office,” wrote Dershowitz. “Yet I’ve decided to bite the bullet and register as a Republican.” The former Epstein lawyer and Harvard Law School professor explained that while he “strongly” opposed the Republican Party’s policies on abortion, immigration, healthcare, taxes, and other major issues, the Democratic Party was no longer sufficiently supportive of Israel and would therefore not be receiving his vote. Citing the recent vote for a weapons embargo against Israel – which received the support of all but seven Senate Democrats – as well as polls which showed a growing opposition to Israel among Democrats of all ages, Dershowitz claimed that the Democratic Party had “become the most anti-Israel party in U.S. history.” “So I intend to work hard to prevent the Democrats from gaining control of the House and Senate,” he announced. “I will contribute money to Republican candidates, campaign for them, make speeches at Republican events, and urge pro-Israel Americans to change party affiliation or at least vote against Democrats. Until something changes, I will vote Republican for representative, senator and president.” While Dershowitz defended President Donald Trump as a member of his legal team during his first impeachment in 2020, the lawyer endorsed former President Joe Biden in the 2020 election and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2008. Dershowitz previously announced his departure from the Democratic Party to become an independent in 2024. However, given that he described himself as a “registered Democrat for 67 years” in his article on Monday, it appears Dershowitz may have still been registered as a Democrat. Since Epstein’s death in 2019, Dershowitz has repeatedly lashed out at the late sex offender’s accusers… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Crows About How Departing Apple Boss Tim Cook Had to ‘Kiss My A**’ in ...
(Alex Brandon/AP photo) President Donald Trump mused about the time Apple boss Tim Cook called him to “kiss my ass” in a lengthy social media post on Tuesday, the day after it was announced that Cook was stepping down as head of the tech giant. “I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim,” Trump said to kick off the long Truth Social post. Trump then described a call he got from Cook back in his first term as president. “He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix,” Trump said in the post. “Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. When I got the call I said, wow, it’s Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to ‘kiss my ass.'” From there, Trump said, it was “a long and very nice relationship.” I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim. For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix. Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. When I got the call I said, wow, it’s Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to “kiss my ass.” Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - CNN’s Jake Tapper Torpedoes Trump Demand for War Praise in Late Show Hit CNN anchor Jake Tapper told late-night host Stephen Colbert the many reasons he would not obey President Donald Trump’s demand to be congratulated for a “JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT.” Amid a frenetic social media weekend, Trump posted a bitter demand that outlets like CNN give him credit for the war in Iran, writing “Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???” On Monday night’s edition of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Tapper and Colbert took turns lampooning Trump, as Tapper dissected the premise and Colbert played straight man with Devil’s Advocate interjections: STEPHEN COLBERT: OK, on Friday, your network, and congrats on this one–. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: Thank you. STEPHEN COLBERT: –got a shout out from Trump. He posted that “CNN and the New York Times are, quote, desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, job well done, Mr. President?”. So Jake, that’s a simple question, why don’t you just say job well-done? How hard is that? What would that hurt if you just said, job well done, and then later ask what the job was? CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: Okay, so first–. First of all, let me say, I say it to you, job well done. (AUDIENCE ROARS). STEPHEN COLBERT: Thank you very much. Now I’m supposed to tell him? I’m supposed to pass– CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: No, no, no. It stops at you. STEPHEN COLBERT: Oh, it just stops here? Oh, that’s right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right, right yeah yeah. CROWD: STEPHEN! STEPHEN! STEPHEN! STEPHEN! CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: But in terms of job well done, let’s just deconstruct it. It’s not done. STEPHEN COLBERT: It’s pretty much done. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: It’s not done. There’s still–. STEPHEN COLBERT: It’s pretty– We’ve won, and it’s pretty much over. For all intents and purposes. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: He literally, President Trump is literally threatening to blow up the entire country yesterday. Iran, not ours. STEPHEN COLBERT: Yeah, don’t… Yes. Now you’re nitpicking. Now you… That’s the… CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: That’s my job. STEPHEN COLBERT: That’s the CNN just looking for anything to criticize the president for. CNN’S JAKE TAPPER: I don’t have to look very far when it comes to things, to question the government about this war. And… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
