- ‘This Is a Coup’: Trump Pal Laura Loomer Flips Out Over Obama Visit
L: X/Laura Loomer R: X/Mark Carney Conspiracy theorist and close Trump ally Laura Loomer had an over-the-top reaction to former President Barack Obama’s visit with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Obama is one of many prominent leaders trekking to Toronto for the 2026 Global Progress Action Summit. On Friday, Carney posted a message welcoming the former president, writing: Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us. The post included a video clip of Carney shaking hands with Obama: Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us. pic.twitter.com/S2lrJLL5Td — Mark Carney (@MarkJCarney) May 9, 2026 Loomer’s reaction was a lot. In a post just after midnight, she sounded the alarm: Why is Barack Hussein Obama meeting with world leaders while President Trump is in office? This is a coup. But as many users on X/Twitter pointed out, Loomer expressed no such qualms in 2024 when she trumpeted a meeting between a different ex-prez and a world leader: @netanyahu just arrived in Florida for his meeting with President Trump at Mar a Lago today. Other pro-MAGA users also objected, many invoking the much-misunderstood Logan Act, which prohibits private citizens from conducting unauthorized diplomacy with foreign governments: Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. But as Trump’s visit with Netanyahu and countless other such meetings demonstrate, it doesn’t ban visiting with foreign heads of state.The post ‘This Is a Coup’: Trump Pal Laura Loomer Flips Out Over Obama Visit first appeared on Mediaite.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called it “disgusting” hearing Eric Swalwell is reportedly still messaging staffers after his resignation and sexual assault allegations. Mace joined Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany on Saturday in America where McEnany wrapped up the interview by asking about the Swalwell reports. Swalwell, a now-former congressman who was running for governor of California, resigned from Congress last month over multiple sexual misconduct allegations, including rape and drugging. Swalwell acknowledged extramarital relationships but has denied the sexual assault allegations. In a New York Times report this week, it was revealed that Swalwell has still messaged staffers after his resignation. The report noted the messages they saw were not sexual in nature. “Mr. Swalwell is still using Snapchat. As recently as this week,” the report reads. “Mr. Swalwell communicated directly with a former intern on the app and asked her why she had taken a screenshot of their chat history.” CNN also reported that the night after their initial Swalwell allegations report went out, “Swalwell personally sent Snapchat messages to two of the women. ‘Why are you screenshotting my snap,’ he asked one woman in a message sent around 2 a.m. Eastern, according to a video she provided CNN.” Mace blasted the behavior as “disgusting” and “typical” of “an alleged predator.” Check out the exchange below: KAYLEIGH MCENANY: He says these messages are routine and yet he’s still messaging these women at 1.57 a.m. saying it’s about acknowledgement. NANCY MACE: It’s disgusting. MCENANY: What do you think of that? Still. MACE: Well, it’s traumatic and I’ve been working with survivors for the last couple of years and I’m a survivor myself, but this is very typical behavior of an alleged predator, continuing to harass and prey upon their own victims. I’ve seen it in my own life. I have seen it with victims I have been working with. In fact, in this country, if you are a victim, those that prey upon you can sue you. We have it backwards here where a lot of times women, and men too, this is not one gender or the other, but where they are attacked and blamed and that’s what I feel is happening when I read those messages. For me, it’s very difficult as a mom seeing these young women and what they’re going through because I know firsthand it is deeply traumatic and we have to change the… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - CNN’s Abby Phillip Torpedoes Trump ‘Golden Age’ Chatter: American People A...CNN anchor Abby Phillip torpedoed talk of President Donald Trump’s “Golden Age” after a positive jobs report, saying “I don’t think the American people are stupid” when they slam Trump’s economy in polls. On Friday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip convened a panel consisting of Leigh McGowan, Horace Cooper, Stephen Moore, Denver Riggleman, and Franklin Leonard. Phillip began a segment on the better-than-expected jobs report with Kevin Hassett’s boast that “the golden age is upon us” — but contrasted that boast with record-low consumer sentiment: PHILLIP: Tonight, a new reason for optimism and rising economic anxiety — amid rising economic anxiety, the latest job report out today shows that the U.S. added 115,000 jobs last month, beating expectations almost double. The unemployment rate stayed the same at 4.3 percent. That’s a sign that the labor market is resilient as the Iran war and rising gas prices weigh heavily on Americans’ pocketbooks, and the White House jumped at the chance to brag. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) HASSETT: These are two months in a row of absolutely blockbuster numbers. The fact is that people still don’t have faith that the golden age is upon us, that Trump policies are working, but it keeps showing up in the data. And it’s really astonishing like what record-setting numbers we’re starting to see. (END VIDEO CLIP) PHILLIP: Despite the job gains, consumer sentiment declined again this month, hitting a new record low, its lowest in decades. And I do think, look, there are some good — a lot of good news in this jobs report, especially because what came before it was what a lot of people suggested was a jobs recession. And so there’s that. I do think Kevin Hassett, as he has been over the last few days, overstating it a little bit because the job creation levels in the last month and the month before are probably at or below what it was for most of Biden’s term. But I just wonder for you, Stephen, are we seeing, like, a gap between the stock market, between the expectations of the market, which is really what we’re talking about here, and what real people are experiencing, how they’re feeling, their own anxieties about this economy? MOORE: Yes. So, it’s a paradox. I mean, you’re right. Some of these statistics have shown improvement. I remember when I was on this show four or five weeks… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- CNN Table Shreds ‘Insane’ Rant on ‘Tax the Rich’ Being the Same as ‘Di...A CNN panel was not buying into a CEO’s viral comparison between “tax the rich” calls and “disgusting racial slurs,” with one former Republican congressman telling the billionaire to “take a history lesson.” On CNN’s Table for Five on Saturday, the panel debated Vornado Realty Trust CEO Steve Roth comparing “tax the rich” calls from Democrats like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to “disgusting racial slurs.” “I must say that I consider the phrase ‘tax the rich’ — quote, tax the rich — when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians both here and across the country, to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs,” Roth said. Roth made his comment following Mamdani receiving backlash for pushing a new tax proposal while standing outside the New York home of billionaire Ken Griffin. “I don’t think they’re being demonized, I think they’re being held accountable,” PoliticsGirl podcast host Leigh McGowan said in reaction to Roth’s comments. McGowan got into a heated exchange with New York Post writer Lydia Moynihan, who didn’t defend Roth’s specific comparison, but did defend billionaires, arguing people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos pay plenty in taxes and create jobs. Moynihan declared billionaires like Musk have helped make “our standard living better than any other group of people in any other time.” McGowan accused her of “shilling” for billionaires. Former Republican congressman Denver Riggleman offered the sharpest criticism of Roth, though he acknowledged Mamdani’s video outside Griffin’s home was also wrong. He said: I think maybe take a history lesson. That’s the first thing here because we if we go back to the base here, oh tax the rich, I feel is as bad as a racial slur, well, maybe if we back, you know, to slavery, maybe we go to some of those [times], it might not be as bad as a racial slur. It’s so ludicrous that it’s almost hard for anybody to say, “Really? Do you mean that?” You might be a little hurt. I understand your heart’s a little hurt, you’re crying a little bit, but that’s a lot different than a racial slur, saying tax the rich. It’s different though with Ken Griffin. The issue there is when you’re outside somebody’s house there is a bit of a threshold you’re crossing. I think we have two different things here. National Review writer Noah Rothman agreed… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago
- Trump Blows Off Foreign Reporter in Mid-Question in Awkward Moment — Exclaims ... President Donald Trump blew off a member of the foreign press in mid-question by exclaiming “I love South Korea!” and moving on to the next reporter. During the short-lived “Operation Freedom” this week, Trump took a jab at the Republic of Korea in a post claiming Iran attacked one of their ships and suggesting they should “join the mission”: Iran has taken some shots at unrelated Nations with respect to the Ship Movement, PROJECT FREEDOM, including a South Korean Cargo Ship. Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission! We’ve shot down seven small Boats or, as they like to call them, “fast” Boats. It’s all they have left. Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, will have a News Conference tomorrow morning. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP The president took questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House as he departed for Sterling, Virginia on Friday, during which a South Korean reporter pressed him on the claim. But Trump interrupted her before she could finish: REPORTER: Mr. President, South Korea– You said a Korean ship was attacked by Iran, but Iran has denied this is (INAUDIBLE). Do you share with– PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I love South Korea! The South Korean outlet Asian Business Daily noted the “off-topic” response: According to reports from AFP and other foreign media on the 8th (local time), President Trump was asked by reporters at the White House in Washington, D.C., “You said a Korean ship was attacked by Iran, but Iran has denied this.” To this, Trump gave an off-topic answer, saying, “I love Korea.” On the 4th, President Trump claimed that the Namuho, which had acted independently and did not participate in the U.S.-led “Liberation Project,” was attacked by Iran. He then pressed for a greater role by Korea in resolving tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. In contrast, Iran strongly denied any involvement, stating that Korea’s decision not to participate in military operations in the Strait of Hormuz was a wise one. The Korean government has said that the cause of the fire on the Namuho has not yet been determined, and that it has dispatched an investigation team to tow… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- CNN Table Throws Down In Rollercoaster Debate After Wild Defense of Billionaires...PoliticsGirl podcast host Leigh McGowan and New York Post writer Lydia Moynihan threw down on CNN on Saturday after Moynihan gave a fiery defense of billionaires and exclaimed she wants Elon Musk to become a trillionaire. On CNN’s Table for Five, Abby Phillip showed a viral clip of Vornado Realty Trust CEO Steve Roth comparing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s (D) “tax the rich” push to “disgusting racial slurs.” “I must say that I consider the phrase ‘tax the rich’ — quote, tax the rich — when spit out with anger and contempt by politicians both here and across the country, to be just as hateful as some disgusting racial slurs,” Roth said this week during an earnings call. The sentiment was shared after Mamdani filmed a video outside the home of billionaire Ken Griffin as he pushed for New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s pied-à-terre tax on second homes. That tax would be for luxury homes not used as a primary residence. Griffin’s penthouse behind Mamdani was in a building built by Vornado. Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich. pic.twitter.com/Wky2LFXC9W — Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) April 15, 2026 After McGowan dismissed Roth’s “tax the rich” comparison as ridiculous, Moynihan mounted a defense of billionaires, specifically mentioning Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and X owner Elon Musk. McGowan and Moynihan first clashed over Moynihan bringing up Mamdani’s relationship to far-left activist Hasan Piker. “In terms of the way that the rich are being treated, Mamdani, of course, is very close with Hassan Piker, who over the years has made comments that he wants to see effing capitalists’ blood in the streets,” Moynihan said. “They know each other. You’re associating Hasan Piker [and the mayor]. Don’t do that. That’s the ridiculous” McGowan said, cutting in. The debate kicked up a notch after Moynihan declared Musk and Bezos have earned every penny of their billions. “But Mamdani basically did a video right in front of Ken Griffin’s house, called him out just blocks away from where the United Healthcare CEO had been assassinated so I can understand why people are on edge, and to address your point, Leigh, Elon Musk has deserved every single penny of the money he’s made,” Moynihan said. “Absolutely not,” McGowan shot back. “That is the most ludicrous statement you have ever made.” During some crosstalk, McGowan noted Musk and… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
