    Trump Clears The Air On Third Term Speculation

      President Trump responded to speculation that he will attempt to pursue a third term in the White House despite being prohibited by the U.S. Constitution.

      During a phone interview with The Atlantic’s Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer, Trump was asked about a rumor that he had instructed the Justice Department to look into whether he could legally run for a third term.

      Trump denied the claim and seemed to laugh off the possibility.

      “That would be a big shattering, wouldn’t it?” Trump mused, laughing. “Well, maybe I’m just trying to shatter.”

      Trump acknowledged that his supporters routinely call for him to seek a third term but, ultimately, insisted he was not planning on it: “It’s not something that I’m looking to do. And I think it would be a very hard thing to do.”

      Even as Trump publicly distances himself from a 2028 bid, The Atlantic flagged how the Trump Organization has already rolled out “Trump 2028” hats, priced at $50 each.

      White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the hats were “flying off shelves” since going on sale Thursday, but recently told Axios co-founder Mike Allen it was “not something [Trump is] thinking of.”

      The Constitution’s 22nd Amendment firmly bars a third term. A serious effort to amend the Constitution – however far-fetched – would require a two-thirds majority approval in Congress and backing from three-quarters of state governments. The Republicans, while in majority in both chambers, wouldn’t have the power alone to achieve that.

      Trump first stirred third-term speculation in January, telling supporters it would be “the greatest honor” to serve “twice or three times or four times” — before claiming it was a joke aimed at the “fake news media.”

      Wisconsin Teen Plotted To Kill Trump To Start ‘Political Revolution’

      Disturbing…

      A 17-year-old Wisconsin teen accused of killing his mother and stepfather had also plotted to assassinate President Donald Trump to start a “political revolution,” according to court documents.

      Nikita Casap, 17, had images and messages on his phone that referenced a “self-described manifesto regarding assassinating the president, making bombs, and terrorist attacks,” FOX6 Milwaukee reported, citing a search warrant filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

      Images of a three-page document titled “Accelerate the Collapse” called for the assassination of Trump, according to the report. 

      Trump was specifically referenced in an excerpt from the document, which said “getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president” is “guaranteed to bring in some chaos. … Point being this manifesto is specifically for the attack that targets Trump.”

      Casap was charged earlier this month in the shooting deaths of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer. The couple were found severely decomposed in their home on Feb 28 – more than two weeks after prosecutors allege Casap killed them. 

      During an interview with one of Casap’s classmates, authorities learned that Casap told the female classmate he had been in contact with a man from Russia, who they claim knew about the teen’s scheme to take passports, a car and the family dog and flee to Ukraine, according to the report.

      A recent study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) has revealed a concerning trend: a significant portion of left-leaning Americans believe that political violence, including assassination, is justifiable against figures such as President Donald Trump and the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk. The study surveyed over 1,200 U.S. adults and found that 38% of respondents felt that assassinating Trump would be at least “somewhat justified,” with this figure rising to 55% among those identifying as left-leaning. Similarly, 31% of overall participants, and 48% of left-leaning individuals, expressed some level of justification for assassinating Musk.

      This data suggests a troubling normalization of violent political rhetoric within certain segments of the population. The NCRI report highlights that this shift has been particularly pronounced following the December 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly by Luigi Mangione. Mangione’s actions have been glamorized in various online communities, leading to a proliferation of memes and discussions that endorse political violence.

      Musk Threatens Lawsuit After Trump Hotel Cybertruck Explosion

        Musk is rolling up his sleeves…

        Tesla owner Elon Musk could be considering lawsuits against various media outlets reporting on the Tesla Cybertruck explosion in front of a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

        The explosion is being investigated as a possible terrorist attack intended to send a message. In a post on X, conservative influencer Robby Starbuck wrote a post saying Musk should consider suing outlets that portrayed the explosion in a way that made it appear as if Tesla’s Cybertrucks are prone to explosions.

        Musk posted a response: “Maybe it is time to do so.”

        A former U.S. Army soldier drove the Cybertruck, which he rented from Turo, outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Monday morning. Upon arriving, the vehicle was detonated by explosives in the car.

        Investigators found fireworks, gasoline canisters, and camping fuel in the remains of the vehicle. The soldier was believed to have fatally shot himself shortly before the explosion.

        On the day of the attack, Musk commented on X that the individual “picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack” because the “Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.”

        The driver’s motive has yet to be identified.

        Despite Musk’s threats, the potential lawsuit faces an uphill battle if it were to head to court due to the relevance of Musk’s relationship with the President-elect.

        Supreme Court Intervenes In Trump Plan To Fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook

        The Supreme Court stopped President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook on Wednesday, pausing her removal until the court can hear the case.

        The Supreme Court denied Trump’s request and said Cook can remain in her position through January, when the court is likely to make a final ruling on the issue.

        Trump fired Cook from her position after his Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, Bill Pulte, accused her of mortgage fraud

        The update comes roughly two weeks after Trump officials appealed the case to the high court for emergency review. 

        Oral arguments are expected to be closely watched, given the unprecedented nature of the case, and the seismic shift that any ruling could have on U.S. economic decisions. 

        In appealing the case to the Supreme Court, lawyers for the Trump administration argued that the Fed’s “uniquely important role” in the U.S. economy only heightens the government’s and public’s interest in reviewing the case.

          A trust connected to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s in-laws donated $5,000 to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

          Records show that the Siebel Family Revocable Trust, which is run by Kenneth Siebel Jr. and Judith Siebel, the parents of Newsom’s wife, Jennifer Siebel, gave $5,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC in early April.

          The Siebel family has a history of making donations to Republican candidates, including Senators Ron Johnson (R-WI), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Josh Hawley (R-MO).

          Chris Christie Suggests He Would ‘Torpedo’ Trump in GOP Primary Battle

          Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggested to an audience on Monday that he may enter the 2024 presidential race to target former President Donald Trump.

          Christie hinted at potentially joining the race while delivering remarks at St. Anselm’s College in New Hampshire.

          “You better have somebody on that stage who can do to him what I did to Marco because that’s the only thing that’s gonna defeat Donald Trump,” Christie said in reference to him going hard after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) during the debates. “And that means you gotta have the skill to do it and that means you have to be fearless because he will come back and right at you.”

          Christie said that “it’s not gonna end nicely” and Trump’s “end will not be a calm and quiet conclusion.”

          Christie campaigned in New Hampshire more than any other GOP candidate in 2016 but received lackluster results, leading him to suspend his campaign.

          “And so, if I run again, I can’t imagine that I would continue to do it the same way,” he added. “But this time if I run, I would just hope that you come to a better conclusion than you did the last time.”

          The former president and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis currently sit at the top of the polls for the 2024 Republican nomination.

          Christie told Fox News that he wanted to go to New Hampshire to talk to people “who I know are the best-informed voters in the country about things that I think are important in the world and in our country right now — and to see how they react to that, and see that what they think about things that I think are important.”

          Senior Diplomat Fired Over Trump Remarks

            New Zealand’s most senior diplomat to the U.K. was fired after seeming to question President Donald Trump’s understanding of history and his handling of Russia. 

            Phil Goff, who was serving as New Zealand’s high commissioner to the U.K., apparently tried to draw a contrast between Winston Churchill’s handling of Nazi Germany and Trump’s approach to Russia. 

            The New Zealand official said he was re-reading a famous Churchill speech from 1938 in which the British leader blasts then-Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s decision to sign the Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler. 

            “President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?,” Goff asked Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, referencing the bust seen during President Trump’s heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

            Valtonen seemed uncomfortable with the question, saying she would “limit” herself in her response. Rather than saying anything about Trump, the Finnish official said many of Churchill’s remarks were “timeless.”

            When speaking with media, New Zealand Foreign Minister Winston Peters, who fired Goff, called the diplomat’s question “deeply disappointing.” He also said that it made “his position as high commissioner to London untenable.”

            Peters called Goff’s firing “one of the most difficult” things he has had to do in his career. He also said that had the former high commissioner made the statement about any other nation, he would have been “forced to act,” implying that the firing was not because Goff specifically insulted Trump. 

            “When you’re in that position, you represent the views of the government and the policies of the day – you’re not able to free-think, you are the face of New Zealand,” Peters told the press on Thursday.

            Historic Michigan Paper Backs Trump-Endorsed Republican in Crucial Senate Fight

            One of Michigan’s oldest and most prominent newspapers has chosen a side in the state’s highly competitive Senate battle — and it is backing the candidate endorsed by President Donald Trump.

            The Detroit News endorsed Republican Mike Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed in the contest to replace retiring Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich. The decision gives Rogers a prominent in-state boost as both parties pour attention and money into a race that could help determine control of the Senate.

            The editorial board did not merely favor Rogers. It delivered a pointed warning about El-Sayed’s efforts to remove years of old social-media posts, podcast episodes and YouTube videos from public view.

            Paper Questions El-Sayed’s Deleted Online Record

            El-Sayed “has worked so hard covering his tracks leading up to this Senate race that it’s impossible to know who he really is or where he would stand in the Senate,” The Detroit News wrote.

            The newspaper cited deleted posts concerning America and the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, along with roughly 100 removed YouTube videos that it said offered an unflattering look at the Democrat’s cultural views.

            “A candidate who feels the need to hide his past from voters is not someone who can be trusted to be the same person after Election Day as he was on the campaign trail,” the board argued.

            El-Sayed’s past commentary has become a central Republican line of attack. Fox News reported that his old remarks included proposing an end to Fourth of July fireworks, suggesting that the Second Amendment be replaced with a right to health care and voicing support at one point for the “defund the police” movement. He has also criticized football’s ties to “toxic masculinity” and “bro culture.”

            El-Sayed’s campaign previously said some material was removed “to prevent any old posts from being taken out of context.” Around the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the campaign also said El-Sayed “has always unequivocally condemned terrorism and the September 11 attacks,” according to Fox News.

            Republicans have repeatedly described El-Sayed as a socialist because of his support for policies including Medicare for All. El-Sayed, however, has distanced himself from that label, and reporting has noted that he is not affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.

            Rogers Wins Praise for Experience

            The Detroit News reached a markedly different conclusion about Rogers, calling the former congressman “the prototype of a United States Senator.”

            Rogers served seven terms in the House and rose to chair the House Intelligence Committee. Before Congress, he served in the Army and worked as an FBI special agent. After leaving the House in 2015, he entered the private sector and focused on cybersecurity.

            “Mike Rogers is clearly the best choice for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat and gets our endorsement,” the board wrote, according to Michigan News Source.

            The endorsement is particularly notable because the newspaper supported Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary before El-Sayed defeated her. Founded in 1873, The Detroit News remains one of Detroit’s two major daily newspapers.

            Trump Put His Weight Behind Rogers

            Trump endorsed Rogers in July, giving the Republican what his campaign described as the president’s “complete and total” support.

            “I’m grateful to have President Trump’s complete and total endorsement,” Rogers said in a campaign statement. “He knows that we have what it takes to win this seat and deliver real results for hard-working families.”

            Trump again urged Michigan voters to support Rogers after the August primary, when Rogers and El-Sayed formally secured their parties’ nominations.

            The race remains highly competitive. An Emerson College Polling/Nexstar Media survey found El-Sayed at 48% and Rogers at 46%, with the two-point difference inside the poll’s three-point credibility interval. A Fox News survey conducted a month earlier showed Rogers ahead by four points.

            With Michigan hosting one of the country’s most closely watched open-seat contests, The Detroit News has now placed its institutional weight behind the Trump-backed Republican — while making El-Sayed’s deleted record a central issue for voters to consider before Election Day.

            Biden Pulls Even Or Ahead of Trump in Several Swing States

              Bad news for Trump…

              According to a new Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, President Biden is quickly catching up to Trump in multiple swing states.

              In previous iterations of the survey of voters’ preferences in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, Trump has boasted leads in every single one of the battleground states.

              However, the most recent poll reports that Biden has drawn even with Trump in Michigan (45%-45%) and Pennsylvania (45%-45%) and even pulled ahead of the presumptive Republican nominee in Wisconsin (46%-45%). Trump did retain leads in all of the other key states. He leads by five in Arizona, seven in Georgia, two in Nevada, and six in North Carolina.

              In February, Bloomberg and Morning Consult reported that Trump was up by six points in Pennsylvania, four in Wisconsin, and two in Michigan.

              Mediate reports that Trump performed worse in every single state except for Georgia in March as compared to February. In the Peach State, his margin of victory increased by a single point (+6 to +7). But he previously led by six in Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, nine in North Carolina, and four in Wisconsin.
