- CNN Panelist Claims Trump Hates Black People, So You Can’t Argue Graham Platne...
Former SportsCenter anchor Cari Champion said Americans cannot argue Main Senate candidate Graham Platner’s (D) Nazi tattoo should disqualify him from holding office, because President Donald Trump is in the White House — even though he hates all Black people. She made the bold claim during a feisty exchange on CNN’s Table for Five on Saturday. Champion said Platner has “baggage,” which spurred paneist Arthur Aidala to jump in. “He’s got an antisemitic tattoo on his chest,” Aidala said, referring to the infamous Totenkopf tattoo Platner had. Platner has since removed the tattoo and claimed he had no idea it was a Nazi symbol, but a woman who dated Platner contradicted that claim in The New York Times on Friday, saying he referred to it as “my Totenkopf.” Aidala continued, saying “That should be an automatic disqualification.” But Champion disagreed. “I’m not excusing this man’s behavior, but what I am telling you is you cannot say that with this president in office,” Champion said. “No no, you can,” Aidala contested. “You cannot say that,” Champion reiterated. “I feel like this president is saying ‘I hate Black people.'” Shen then smacked her hands together as if she was saying she was done with Trump. “He doesn’t have a tattoo that says it,” Aidala fired back. Champion then claimed Trump was “rolling back civil rights.” Their back-and-forth happened as the scandals have been piling up for the Platner campaign recently. Beyond his Nazi tattoo, his old Reddit posts have been been under scrutiny — including one where he praised Nazi-era helmets — and last week he admitted to sexting several women who were not his wife. Platner slammed the “establishment media” afterward for trying to “rip apart” his loving marriage. Days later, the aforementioned NYT article was published in which several women accused Platner of “unsettling” behavior.

Host Alex Witt said the “verdict” was in on Trump’s $14 million “vanity project,” before her program aired a few reactions MS NOW captured a day earlier. And three of the four people MS NOW featured bashed it. One guy in a neon green biker helmet whined, “I think it’s an incredible waste of money. I think it’s an incredibly stupid idea.” That came right after an older gentleman in a Minnesota Gophers hat said he would have “preferred to keep it like it was.” And a granny-aged woman with a short haircut said she was not a fan one bit of Trump’s revamp. “I think it’s horrible,” she told MS NOW. “The color I’ve seen on the news is disgusting to me, as opposed to how beautiful it was in the past.” Their complaints were offset somewhat by the first man who spoke to MS NOW. That man — who was wearing a blue t-shirt with the American flag on it and a bucket hat celebrating the nation’s 250th birthday — said the pool looked “great.” “I’m glad it’s getting filled up now so that the tourists can start to see it,” the man added. MS NOW’s interviews coincided with the renovation project wrapping up. Trump sang the project’s praises on Friday, while also bashing ex-Presidents Barack Obamas and Joe Biden; Trump said they both “failed miserably” at fixing the “filthy” pool, even though the “spent over $100 million” on it. Trump added: The pool gets completed at four o’clock and the water will start to flow in and it won’t leak because it’s done properly and it’s going to be beautiful. It’s going to be American flag blue. It’s the color we picked and I think it’ll be something amazing. It’s never worked. A great concept that never worked because it always leaked. They used stone originally and the stone leaks because it’s got a lot of crevices and we have a very special material that we use and we’ll do this for a tiny fraction.

- Trump Imagines Obama Library Will Be a Giant Dumpster Surrounded By Homeless Ten...
President Donald Trump has a depressing vision for what former President Barack Obama’s new presidential library will morph into. The president posted an AI-generated image of what he believes Obama’s library will look like in 2036 — a giant grey dumpster with a big black bag of trash spilling out of it, surrounded by homeless people and tents. Trump’s post showed the homeless milling around the ugly building with a dreary Chicago skyline in the background. Trump’s post was captioned: “The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!” This was not the first time Trump has bashed Obama’s soon-to-open library. Just last week, Trump posted a similar picture of a huge grey garbage bin with a big bag of trash sticking out of it. And last year, Trump said he would have loved to have helped Obama because he is a “really good builder and I build on time, on budget.” But he said Obama’s library was nothing short of a “disaster.” Trump also said Obama’s push to make sure the library used minority-run businesses to help build it didn’t help, either. “(Obama) said something to the effect of, ‘I only want DEI. I only want woke.’ He wants woke people to build it,” Trump added. “Well, he’s got woke people.” USA Today reported at the time, “The Obama Foundation has said that about 35% of subcontractors would be minority-owned businesses, 15% would be women-owned and 9% would be from the greater Chicago area.” The 19 acre Obama presidential library is set to open on June 19. It was initially projected to cost around $300 million, but that price tag has ballooned to $850 million. As for his own presidential library, Trump said earlier this year it will “most likely” double as a hotel. That happened when his son Eric Trump unveiled the Trump library in Miami will look a lot like the One World Trade Center in New York City.The post Trump Imagines Obama Library Will Be a Giant Dumpster Surrounded By Homeless Tents first appeared on Mediaite.

The Associated Press President Donald Trump thanked himself outright Saturday in a Truth Social screed about his building projects, while declaring “THE BEST IS YET TO COME.” Trump has been doing victory laps over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which was sealed with a substance in the color “American flag blue” and refilled with water this week. Trump’s post included a photo of Interior Secretary Doug Burgum inspecting the sealant before the water flowed. “All work is complete! Great American Patriots, primarily from the Great State of Oklahoma, plus Doug Burgum, Secretary of the Interior, inspecting the very complex, but powerful, Dark Blue surface of the Reflecting Pool, prior to submerging it in CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL WATER. It was originally opened in 1922, but never functioned properly — now it does!” Trump wrote. Trump then thanked himself for a job well done, and listed off his other building projects. “Thank you President Trump, thank you Department of the Interior — AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME with The Trump Promenade at The Lincoln Memorial, and The Triumphal Arch, which will be, along with the White House Ballroom, when completed, the Greatest Structure in Washington,” he wrote. During a meeting with Wisconsin farmers on Friday, Trump also bragged about the reflecting pool project, which was handed over as a no-bid contract to a Virginia firm that later raised the price from $1.8 million to $13.1 million. Trump still claimed he was getting a deal. “So it would have cost $400 million…to fix. It would have taken four years,” Trump said, continuing: And they were getting ready. Doug Burgum has done an amazing job. And I said, “You know, rather than doing that” — they were going to put stone down, big stone, granite, wonderful. But it all leaks because you have joints. So being a very good builder, I said, “You know what? I built a lot of swimming pools, many, many swimming pools. Every time I do a development, I do swimming pools. I know more about swimming pools. I said, “Why can’t we put the wonderful material, which is thick, pasty, beautiful, like rubber, but industrial strength — why can’t we use it? And let’s pick the color blue from the American flag,” which is what we did. And that is the most beautiful thing that you’ve ever seen. And look at that. I mean, look at that.

The democratic socialist doubled down on his push to abolish ICE during an interview on MS NOW’s The Weekend on Saturday. Co-host Eugene Daniels asked Mamdani for his thoughts on the protests at the Delancey Hall ICE facility across the Hudson River in New Jersey. Mamdani said he remained committed to his belief “ICE should be abolished,” because “there is no way to reform this kind of cruelty that we’re seeing.” “When it comes to our city, we’re proud of our sanctuary city policies,” Mamdani added. “What do you say to people who say language — and there’s Democrats in D.C. who say language — like ‘abolish ice’ are unhelpful for the political health of the Democratic Party?” Daniels followed up. Mamdani didn’t sound like he was too worried about those complaints from fellow liberals. “I think we’ve listened to them before, and look where we are,” Mamdani said. “I think it’s time to develop a new vision for this party, one that is unflinching in its beliefs and also uncompromising in its principles.” President Donald Trump won the 2024 election in large part because he promised to crackdown on illegal immigration. Border crossings plummeted during his first year back in the White House, and he deployed ICE and Border Patrol agents to major cities to apprehend illegal immigrants. But those moves were met with swift pushback from many Democratic leaders — including Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D), who compared Trump’s ICE raids to Nazi Germany. And immigration raids in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, New York City, and elsewhere have been met with large anti-ICE protests and riots. Some Democrats like Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) have pushed back on calls for their party to embrace the abolish ICE movement. But Mamdani says it is time for the Dems to ignore them.

- Tucker Carlson Gushes Over ‘Charming’ Gavin Newsom: ‘Oh, He’s Unbelievab... If you listen to his latest podcast, it Tucker Carlson sounds like he has a bit of a political crush on California Governor Gavin Newsom (D). The Trump fan-turned-harsh critic Newsom “charming” and raved he is an “unbelievable” public speaker while discussing the West Coast liberal with his guest, comic and political pundit Jimmy Dore. Carlson asked Dore for his take on Newsom about 50 minutes into the show, and Dore responded by saying “I think he’s fantastic, don’t you think he’s great? I think he cares about the people.” Dore continued by quipping, “I think it’s great, he’s going to make the country look as pretty as his hair.” Carlson chuckled as Dore sardonically complimented the governor. “I mean, it feels like he’s the nominee,” Carlson then said, referring to the 2028 presidential election. “We’ll see. I mean, he’s got the gift of gab,” Dore said. “Oh, he’s unbelievable,” Carlson added. Dore then said Newsom reminds him of Barack Obama because Newsom’s speeches make Dore “feel better,” even if the governor is “full of it.” Carlson agreed. “Oh, for sure,” he said. Carlson added Newsom will “say literally anything,” but that he’s “fun to talk to. He’s very charming.” He then pivoted the conversation by asking if Newsom was any different than other establishment Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Dore said he wasn’t, but that you don’t get to Newsom’s political level by not playing the game. Carlson’s fairly warm comments about Newsom stood out, considering his recent public fallout with President Donald Trump. The former Fox News star has bashed the Iran war and claimed Trump was potentially the antichrist. He has also claimed Israel is “in charge” of Trump and the USA. Trump responded to Carlson’s criticism by branding him “Low IQ” and booting him from his Make America Great Again movement. On his Friday show, Carlson said Trump is “no different” from Schumer on policy — which he said is shocking, considering many Republicans believe Schumer is “evil.” Watch above via The Tucker Carlson Show.The post Tucker Carlson Gushes Over ‘Charming’ Gavin Newsom: ‘Oh, He’s Unbelievable’ first appeared on Mediaite.
