- A Non-Exhaustive List of Trump’s Deleted Posts
Despite his brashness, Donald Trump has built a habit of taking back some of his most obscene social media posts. On Monday, the president deleted a bizarre image of what appeared to be an AI-generated depiction of him as a Jesus-like figure following immediate criticism, many from his own right-wing supporters such as Fox News host Joey Jones and anti-trans political activist Riley Gaines. Trump had initially posted the picture on Sunday during his feud with Pope Leo XIV over the US-Israeli war in Iran. Trump just posted this of him as Jesus. Straight up heresy.— Eric Michael Garcia (@ericmgarcia.bsky.social) 2026-04-13T02:09:09.328Z Trump told reporters on Monday that he thought his post portrayed him “as a doctor” and “had to do with [the humanitarian nonprofit] Red Cross.” “Only the fake news could come up with that one,” he continued, in response to the idea that the image made him look like Jesus. Much like many of his policies, Trump’s posts often have no actual substance. Let’s step back in time and revisit some of the president’s previous highlights: Where Trump depicts former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes in a racist video (February 2026) As Katie Herchenroder wrote for Mother Jones shortly after the Truth Social post was deleted the next day: “Toward the end of an unrelated video alleging interference in the 2020 presidential election, a clip that is around 2 seconds long features the first Black president and his wife on the bodies of apes as “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” plays in the background. That clip comes from a longer video that a meme account posted in October.” Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) wrote on X: “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House. The President should remove it.” Trump refused to apologize, and the White House blamed a staff worker for “erroneously” posting it. Where Trump referenced Nazi-era language in a video looking forward to a potential win in the 2024 election (May 2024) About four seconds into a video promoting Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign asking “What happens after Donald Trump wins? What’s next for America?,” an imaginary news headline reads “Industrial strength significantly increased…driven by the creation of a unified reich.” According to the Associated Press, the headline appeared to be text copied word-for-word from a Wikipedia entry on World… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Appeals court lets Trump resume White House ballroom construction, seeks lower c...
A federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., on Saturday cleared the way for President Donald Trump to temporarily resume construction of his planned White House ballroom, granting a near-term win to the administration as it pushes forward with the nearly $400 million project. The case stems from a lawsuit filed late last year by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which sought to block the construction. The group argued that the project violates multiple federal laws, including the Administrative Procedure Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, and charged that the plans amounted to executive overreach without required approval from Congress and federal planning bodies.A lower court judge last month put the project on hold, triggering the administration’s appeal.TRUMP ADMIN FIGHTS IN COURT TO KEEP WHITE HOUSE EAST WING DEMOLITION, $300M BALLROOM BUILD ON TRACKU.S. District Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, in March issued a preliminary injunction blocking construction of the ballroom, finding the Trump administration likely lacked the legal authority to proceed without congressional approval. He said the government had not shown it had clear authorization to replace parts of the East Wing with a privately funded structure.Leon’s order paused most construction work on the ballroom, though he allowed activity tied to White House security concerns, and briefly delayed enforcement of his ruling until mid-April, to give the administration time to appeal the case to a higher court.The Trump administration quickly asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to intervene, arguing that the project is critical to the safety and security of the "president, his family, and White House staff."The 2-1 ruling from the circuit court did not immediately side with the Trump administration, but gave it temporary relief.A majority of judges on the panel said the court needed more explanation from Leon before deciding whether construction should remain blocked. Specifically, the judges asked Leon to clarify whether stopping the project would harm national security, as the Trump administration claims.US APPEALS COURT HALTS TRUMP CONTEMPT PROBE ORDERED BY BOASBERG, FOR NOWThe appeals court also paused Leon’s order through April 17, giving the Trump administration time to ask the Supreme Court for emergency intervention if it chooses.For now, the case will return to the district court for further explanation.Trump first announced plans for the 90,000-square-foot ballroom in July, initially estimating the cost at around $200 million. He has said the project would be funded "100% by… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - WATCH: Spanberger knocked for ‘bait and switch’ hypocrisy as popularity plum...EXCLUSIVE: One of the Democratic Party’s top rising stars, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, is coming under increasing fire as critics accuse her of pulling a "bait and switch" on voters by abandoning her affordability promises in favor of tax increases on "just about anything that moves."A new ad released by Unleash Prosperity on Monday slammed Spanberger over her affordability promises as Virginia Democrats propose new taxes on everyday expenses like dry cleaning, gym memberships and pet care. Unleash Prosperity’s ad puts it bluntly, saying, "Virginia can’t afford this."The governor has not publicly supported or signed the measures. A statement by the governor's office sent to Fox News Digital on Monday emphasized that Spanberger did not sign the tax bills into law "because the General Assembly never passed them, and the bills never reached her desk." The statement said that Spanberger has "remained laser-focused on addressing high costs for Virginians."However, Spanberger has supported a broader set of revenue measures since taking office, including proposals targeting digital services and business activity, as part of an effort to fund priorities such as education and health care.TRUMP BLASTS SPANBERGER AHEAD OF VIRGINIA MEETINGS, SAYS STATE FACES TAX BASE EXODUS LIKE NEW YORK, CALIFORNIASteve Moore, an economist who co-founded Unleash Prosperity, told Fox News Digital that while Spanberger cashed in on Virginians’ worries over prices, she "raced out of the gate with all of these very liberal policies, including tax increases on just about anything that moves in Virginia."Moore said that Democrats across the country should take Spanberger's decline as a "warning" ahead of 2028.There has been much buzz around Spanberger and her gubernatorial victory last year, which resulted in Republicans being ousted from power in Virginia. The Democratic Party selected her to give its response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union, further evidencing her stardom.Yet, despite the Democrats elevating her and even floating her as a presidential or vice-presidential pick, Moore said that Virginians have been "shocked about that," explaining why her approval ratings have "absolutely plummeted.""She has seen one of the swiftest declines in her popularity in the first six months in office that I've seen in many years of politics," Moore said.Forty-six percent of Virginians disapprove of her job performance, while 47% approve, according to a recent Washington Post-Schar School poll. Compared with Virginia governors from both parties since 1994, Spanberger has the highest disapproval rating at this point in… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Graham Platner Claims He’s Changed. Why Is He Still Using the R-Word?
Graham Platner could very well be the Democratic nominee running against Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) for her long-held Senate seat. Platner’s run has not been without controversy, to put it lightly. A tattoo that Platner had, a Totenkopf, was worn by Nazis and is still a symbol embraced by Neo-Nazis today. In an article published in the local publication Maine Monitor on Saturday, the Senate candidate explained his initial reaction: Platner said he didn’t know what it was until it became an issue during this campaign. Even when someone working with his campaign told him there was a rumor going around that he had a white supremacist tattoo, he said he didn’t connect it to the skull and crossbones on his chest. “I was like, ‘Well, that’s the fucking most r-tarded shit I’ve ever heard in my life,’” he told me. “‘No, I don’t have a white supremacist tattoo,’ and I never thought about it again. And then it came up later on, and I was like, ‘God fucking damn it.’” (He had the tattoo covered in late October.) Platner has made some attempts to reconcile with Maine Jewish communities, including hosting a Passover seder. But now, as healthcare data wonk Charles Gaba raised on Bluesky, why is Platner using the r-word, a slur that is greatly offensive to many disabled people, in 2026? PLATNER IS LITERALLY STILL OPENLY USING THE "R" WORD IN CASUAL CONVERSATION. TODAY.— Charles Gaba (@charlesgaba.com) 2026-04-11T20:42:44.467Z I asked the Platner campaign for comment, but they have not responded by the time of publication. The Arc, which supports those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, explain, “If you constantly heard a core part of your identity used as shorthand for ‘stupid’ or ‘worthless,’ how would you feel? It chips away at dignity. It sends a message about who is valued and who isn’t.” If it’s casually part of someone’s vocabulary, they might not get the harm. This also points to a lack of engagement with disabled people. Considering how the Trump administration has targeted disabled people—including enacting brutal cuts to Medicaid, which will alter the services some disabled people receive—some people may argue that others are overreacting to Platner’s use of the r-word. However, having better standards than President Donald Trump has for himself is a good thing when trying to play a role in flipping the Senate… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Swalwell faces House ethics probe over alleged sexual misconduct as expulsion th...Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., an embattled lawmaker facing a potential expulsion threat, is the target of an investigation by the House Ethics Committee, the panel announced Monday.At least four women have accused the California Democrat of sexual misconduct, according to multiple reports. The House panel said it is investigating an allegation "that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct toward an employee working under his supervision."Swalwell suspended his gubernatorial campaign Sunday night amid widespread backlash following the sexual misconduct allegations.Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has vowed to introduce a resolution this week expelling Swalwell if he does not resign. Some Democrats have said they will support the measure. A spokesperson for Swalwell did not immediately respond to a request for comment. [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Obama CIA chief under DOJ scrutiny pushes fringe Trump ouster planObama-era CIA Director John Brennan called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office, joining a growing list of Democrats who say Trump's Truth Social posts threatening Iran were unlawful.Brennan, who is currently under investigation by the Justice Department, appeared on MS NOW for an interview with Ali Velshi. He said that the 25th Amendment, which establishes the protocol to remove the president, "was written with Donald Trump in mind.""Allowing someone like this to continue to be the commander in chief and to control the tremendous capabilities of the U.S. military, including our nuclear weapons capability, which he seemed to allude to when he said he’s going to just eliminate a entire civilization," Brennan said. "Again, we really are in very, very troubling times."More than 70 lawmakers are calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Trump following a slew of threats he made on Truth Social toward Iran regarding reopening the Strait of Hormuz.TRUMP IRAN THREAT SPARKS CALLS FOR HIS OUSTER, BUT ONE DEM SAYS EFFORT ‘NOT REALISTIC’The president made his first threat on Easter Sunday, giving Iran a deadline of Tuesday, April 7, at 8 p.m. Hours before the deadline, Trump posted on Truth Social that "a whole civilization will die tonight.""I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump wrote on Truth Social.Right before the deadline, Trump announced that the United States and Iran had reached a two-week ceasefire agreement. But after negotiations in Pakistan this weekend, Trump announced on Truth Social Sunday that the U.S. Navy will begin to block all ships entering and exiting the Strait of Hormuz beginning Monday.Since the start of the Iran war, Brennan has been publicly outspoken in his criticism of Trump's handling of the conflict. He's been a regular on MS NOW, suggesting a month ago that Trump is "flailing" and "clueless" about handling the war.Notably, the Justice Department launched an investigation into Brennan in July 2025, stemming from allegations that Brennan improperly handled a 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which found that Russia was seeking to influence the 2016 presidential election in Trump's favor. The 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment included the Steele dossier, a debunked collection of memos alleging Trump colluded with Russia, but Brennan testified before Congress that the document "was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community assessment that was done." House Republicans alleged that Brennan had lied in his… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
