Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is signaling that her political career may be entering a new chapter following her departure from Congress earlier this year.

In a post shared Tuesday on X, Greene unveiled a teaser for what appears to be a new media project titled “Life With MTG,” accompanied by the message: “My New Series. COMING SOON.”

The brief promotional video features a montage of some of Greene’s most memorable and controversial moments from her years in Washington. The footage includes clips of her delivering fiery speeches, confronting political opponents, and championing causes that helped make her one of the most recognizable figures in the Republican Party.

The teaser concludes with Greene delivering a message directly to supporters.

“I won’t stop living, I won’t stop speaking and I won’t stop fighting,” Greene says in the video. “And neither should you.”

While Greene did not reveal details about the format, platform, or launch date of the project, the announcement immediately sparked speculation that the former congresswoman is seeking to maintain a prominent role in conservative politics and media despite leaving elected office.

From Trump Ally to Trump Critic

Greene’s departure from Congress marked a dramatic shift in her political trajectory.

For years, Greene was among President Donald Trump’s most loyal allies on Capitol Hill. She emerged as one of the leading voices of the America First movement and frequently defended Trump during his legal battles, impeachment proceedings, and presidential campaigns.

However, the relationship between the two Republicans deteriorated in recent years as Greene increasingly broke with Trump on several major issues.

The split became especially visible over foreign policy, government spending, healthcare proposals, and the administration’s handling of records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In November, Greene announced she would resign from Congress, describing her political relationship with Trump in unusually personal terms.

“I refuse to be a battered wife,” Greene said at the time, referencing what she characterized as repeated disappointments with the administration’s policy decisions.

The remark underscored the depth of the rift between Greene and the president she had once defended more aggressively than almost any other Republican lawmaker.

Criticism Over Foreign Wars

Perhaps the most significant break between Greene and Trump came over U.S. military involvement in the Middle East.

Following the escalation of conflict involving Iran, Greene openly criticized the administration’s actions and questioned whether Trump was abandoning key campaign promises.

“We’re in another f—ing war, and we’ve got American troops being killed,” Greene said shortly after hostilities intensified.

During an appearance with conservative commentator Megyn Kelly, Greene expressed frustration that Trump appeared to be moving away from the anti-interventionist message that helped fuel his rise in Republican politics.

“I want to say, what is happening to the man that I supported, you supported, the man that denounced what happened in Iraq, the man that said ‘No more foreign wars,’ ‘No more regime change?'” Greene asked.

Her comments resonated with a segment of the MAGA movement that remains skeptical of foreign military interventions and favors a more isolationist approach to global conflicts.

A Growing Conservative Media Trend

Greene’s new venture follows a broader trend of high-profile politicians turning to independent media platforms after leaving office.

In recent years, numerous conservative figures have launched podcasts, streaming shows, documentary projects, and direct-to-consumer media brands aimed at maintaining influence outside traditional political institutions.

For Greene, whose outspoken style helped her build a large online following, a media platform may provide an opportunity to continue shaping political debates without the constraints of serving in Congress.

The title “Life With MTG” suggests the series could blend political commentary with a behind-the-scenes look at Greene’s personal life and post-Congress activities, though no official description has been released.

What’s Next?

Greene remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern Republican politics. Supporters view her as an unapologetic fighter willing to challenge both Democrats and Republican establishment figures, while critics argue her confrontational style has fueled division and controversy.

The launch of “Life With MTG” indicates Greene has no intention of fading from public life following her resignation.

Whether the project becomes a political commentary show, podcast, documentary series, or broader media brand, Greene’s closing message in the teaser makes one thing clear: she intends to remain active in the national conversation.

For now, supporters and critics alike are left waiting for further details as Greene promises that “Life With MTG” is “coming soon.”

Report: Trump Refuses To Rule Out DeSantis As Attorney General

President Donald Trump is keeping the door open for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to become the nation’s next attorney general, offering warm praise for his former Republican rival during a recent podcast interview.

Speaking Tuesday with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her “Pod Force One” podcast, Trump said DeSantis is among several Republicans being discussed as a potential replacement for former Attorney General Pam Bondi, though he stopped short of making any commitment.

“People thought of different names. There are some good names,” Trump told Devine.

Trump noted that DeSantis has never approached him about the position.

“He’s never talked about wanting the job,” the president said.

The comments highlight how dramatically relations have improved between Trump and DeSantis since their bruising 2024 Republican primary showdown. During that campaign, Trump frequently mocked the Florida governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious.” Today, the president is singing a very different tune.

“He’s a governor and doing a very good job,” Trump said. “He’s a friend of mine.”

Trump also pointed to a recent honor bestowed by Florida lawmakers and signed into law by DeSantis.

“He just named an airport after me,” Trump said. “They named the Palm Beach International Airport the Donald J. Trump International Airport.”

The airport renaming became official after DeSantis signed legislation earlier this year. Trump called the designation “a great honor.”

The president also referenced DeSantis’ support for plans involving Trump’s future presidential library.

While DeSantis’ name is generating buzz among conservatives, Trump suggested he’s pleased with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who currently leads the Department of Justice and previously served as Trump’s personal attorney.

“I wanted to see how he’s received,” Trump said of Blanche. “He’s done a very good job.”

Trump indicated that no final decision has been made.

“There are a lot of great people,” the president said. “The Republican Party — we have great people.”

For his part, DeSantis has publicly downplayed speculation about a possible role in the Trump administration.

According to Florida Politics, the governor recently said, “No one’s ever asked me to do anything, and I’ve never asked to do anything.”

Still, some Republicans believe DeSantis would be a strong fit for the nation’s top law enforcement post.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) who is running to succeed DeSantis as governor, told conservative commentator Benny Johnson last month that he believes DeSantis would “make a very good attorney general.”

“Knowing Gov. DeSantis, he will make sure that he looks through everything with a fine-tooth comb to hold people accountable and I think that’s a spot he could be incredibly well-suited for,” Donalds said, while also praising Blanche’s performance.

For now, Trump appears content to keep his options open — and DeSantis’ name firmly in the conversation.

Treasury Chief Admits He Threatened To Beat Up Trump’s Controversial DNI Pick

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stunned lawmakers Wednesday when he casually admitted that he threatened to physically assault Bill Pulte — President Donald Trump’s embattled choice to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

The jaw-dropping admission came during a Senate Finance Committee hearing after Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) referenced reports of a heated clash between the two Trump administration officials.

“Did you actually tell Pulte you were going to punch him in the face?” Tillis asked.

“No, sir. I actually said I was going to kick his a**,” Bessent replied.

Tillis appeared amused by the correction.

“Good. OK, good. I share the emotion — thank you,” the North Carolina Republican responded.

Bessent brushed off the confrontation as old news.

“And, as I said, that was last summer, summer ’25,” he said. “And many teams have fights in the locker room, and then go out and win for the team on the field.”

But Tillis suggested the incident could become a major issue now that Trump has tapped Pulte to oversee America’s intelligence agencies following Tulsi Gabbard’s planned departure later this month.

“Everybody’s gonna be showing that,” Tillis said. “I made it clear I’m not gonna support Pulte for DNI, but I’m sure they’re gonna dredge that up.”

Watch:

The exchange revived scrutiny of an explosive confrontation first reported by Politico, which described a profanity-laced showdown between Bessent and Pulte at a private gathering of Trump officials and allies last year.

According to Politico, Bessent confronted Pulte after hearing that the Federal Housing Finance Agency chief had been speaking negatively about him to President Trump

Read an excerpt from Politico’s reporting:

A private dinner attended by dozens of administration officials and close advisers to President Donald Trump was temporarily marred by a dramatic clash between two of Trump’s top economic officials, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at one point threatening to punch top housing finance official Bill Pulte “in the fucking face.”

But amid the cocktail-hour din, Bessent lashed out at Pulte in an expletive-laden diatribe. The Treasury secretary had heard from several people that the Federal Housing Finance Agency director had been badmouthing him to Trump, a person close to him said. He wasn’t about to engage in chit-chat as if nothing was amiss.

“Why the fuck are you talking to the president about me? Fuck you,” Bessent told Pulte. “I’m gonna punch you in your fucking face.”

The scene was described to me by one eyewitness and four other people familiar with what happened. The only fact they disagreed on was whether it was Bessent or Pulte who initiated the conversation. They and others who described the conflict were granted anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation.

Pulte appeared stunned, and the tense encounter prompted club co-owner and financier Omeed Malik to intervene, according to the three people. But Bessent wasn’t having it — he sought to get him kicked out, the eyewitness said.

“It’s either me or him,” Bessent said to Malik. “You tell me who’s getting the fuck out of here.”

“Or,” he added, “we could go outside.”

“To do what?” asked Pulte. “To talk?”

“No,” Bessent replied. “I’m going to fucking beat your ass.”

The bizarre feud is drawing fresh attention as Pulte faces mounting criticism over his nomination.

President Trump Calls Out Supreme Court Justices By Name In Scathing Truth Social Post

President Donald Trump sharply criticized two Supreme Court justices he appointed, lamenting what he called a “devastating” ruling against his tariff policy while suggesting the court could soon rule against his administration again on birthright citizenship.

In a lengthy Sunday night Truth Social post, Trump singled out Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett by name after they joined Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s liberal wing in a recent ruling striking down his use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs.

“I ‘Love’ Justice Neil Gorsuch! He’s a really smart and good man, but he voted against me, and our Country, on Tariffs, a devastating move,” Trump wrote. “How do I reconcile this? So bad, and hurtful to our Country.”

Trump added that he also “liked and respected” Barrett, but said both justices had “hurt our Country so badly” with the ruling.

The president argued the decision could cost the United States billions of dollars in refunded tariff payments.

“They were appointed by me, and yet have hurt our Country so badly!” Trump wrote. “I do not believe they meant to do so, but their decision on Tariffs cost the United States 159 Billion Dollars that we have to pay back to enemies, and people, companies, and Countries, that have been ripping us off for years. It’s hardly believable!”

Trump claimed the court could have avoided forcing the administration to repay tariff revenues by adding what he described as a “tiny” sentence to the ruling.

“They could have solved that situation with a ‘tiny’ sentence, ‘Any money paid by others to the United States does not have to be paid back,’” he wrote. “Why wouldn’t they have done so?”

The Supreme Court’s 6-3 ruling against Trump’s tariff authority under IEEPA saw Gorsuch, Barrett, and Roberts side with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented. (RELATED: Supreme Court Strikes Down Most Trump Tariffs, Reasserts Congress’ Role)

Trump went even further in the post, arguing that some Republican-appointed justices have become overly eager to distance themselves from conservatives.

“With certain Republican Nominated Justices that we have on the Supreme Court, the Democrats don’t really need to ‘PACK THE COURT’ any longer,” Trump wrote. “In fact, I should be the one wanting to PACK THE COURT!”

He also complained that Republican-appointed justices often seek to appear “independent,” while Democratic-appointed justices remain loyal to the presidents who nominated them. (RELATED: Supreme Court Rules On Trump Tariffs)

“What is the reason for this?” Trump wrote. “They have to do the right thing, but it’s really OK for them to be loyal to the person that appointed them to ‘almost’ the highest position in the land, that is, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court.”

“Democrat Justices always remain true to the people that honored them for that very special Nomination,” he continued. “They don’t waver, no matter how good or bad a case may be, but Republican Justices often go out of their way to oppose me, because they want to show how ‘independent’ or, ‘above it all,’ they are.”

Trump also predicted the court could soon rule against his administration on birthright citizenship, another major issue currently pending before the Supreme Court.

The president tied that concern to his unprecedented appearance at a Supreme Court session earlier this year.

“I choose people to help our Country, not to hurt it,” Trump wrote, “and now, based on what I witnessed recently by being the first President in History to attend a Supreme Court session … they will be ruling against us on Birthright Citizenship, making us the only Country in the World that practices this unsustainable, unsafe, and incredibly costly DISASTER.”

While Trump insisted he was not demanding personal loyalty from the justices, he suggested their rulings should align more closely with what he believes is best for the country.

“I don’t want loyalty,” he wrote, “but I do want and expect it for our Country.”

Trump also warned that an unfavorable ruling on birthright citizenship, combined with the court’s tariff decision, could have severe economic consequences.

“Yes, I have another way of doing Tariffs, but it is far slower, and more laborious than what was just determined, in a close decision, to be ‘illegal’ or ‘unconstitutional,’” Trump wrote. “Sometimes decisions have to be allowed to use Good, Strong, Common Sense as a guide.”

“A negative ruling on Birthright Citizenship, on top of the recent Supreme Court Tariff catastrophe, is not economically sustainable for the United States of America!”

Tucker Torches Trump, ‘You Have Failed’

1

Tucker Carlson just lit a match under MAGA — and aimed it straight at Donald Trump.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, the former Fox News star delivered one of his most scathing rebukes yet of the president, accusing Trump — without initially naming him — of abandoning everyday Americans and flatly declaring: “You have failed.”

The blistering monologue marks a dramatic escalation in Carlson’s increasingly bitter split from the man he once championed.

Carlson opened by torching radio host Mark Levin, a staunch defender of the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran, which began Feb. 28. Levin and Carlson had both lobbied Trump behind closed doors in the weeks leading up to the strikes — Levin pushing for war, Carlson urging restraint.

But Carlson quickly pivoted from Levin to a far more explosive target.

Without saying Trump’s name, Carlson made it unmistakably clear who he was addressing — accusing the president of turning his back on struggling Americans and even harboring contempt for them.

“You hate people like that,” Carlson stated. “And there may be other reasons you hate them, but you certainly hate them because they are a reminder of how you have failed. You have not done a good job running this country. You don’t even care to try. You’d rather run the world or the empire. You don’t want to improve Baltimore. You don’t care about Gary, Indiana. Rural America makes you sick… Normal leaders would ask themselves, ‘Why are people mad? What are they dissatisfied with? How can I help them? They’re clearly in pain.’”

Carlson then zeroed in on the Iran conflict — calling it the defining failure of Trump’s presidency.

“They’ve never looked inward once in 10 years,” he continued, shifting from “you” to “they.” “And now they’ve reached the point of maximum frustration, where the biggest thing they’ve ever done, which is try to regime-change the Iranian government, and it hasn’t worked. That’s the biggest thing they’ve ever done. They staked everything on that. And you should just know that at this point, now that that’s not working out, they will not be mad at themselves. They’re gonna be mad at you for not liking it or appreciating it or for talking about it at all. Or for holding on to your outdated expectations about what life in this country was like then and should be now.”

Watch:

The stunning broadside comes as the once-tight Trump–Carlson alliance continues to unravel in public view.

Trump recently fired back in his own interview, declaring Carlson “not MAGA” and saying the pundit “has lost his way” — a sharp break from years of mutual admiration. The president has brushed off Carlson’s criticism of the Iran strikes, even as the former Fox host reportedly made multiple trips to the White House last month in a failed attempt to stop the military action.

Despite the escalating war of words, Carlson has sent mixed signals — pairing harsh criticism with lingering loyalty.

Just last week, he issued a rare apology for backing Trump in the first place.

“You know, we’ll be tormented by it for a long time,” he said while interviewing his brother, Buckley Carlson. “I will be, and I want to say I’m sorry for misleading people, and it was not intentional. That’s all I’ll say.”

Watch:

Still, even amid the fallout, Carlson has stopped short of a full break — previously insisting he would “always love” Trump.

President And First Lady Call On ABC News To Fire Jimmy Kimmel

First Lady Melania Trump is demanding consequences for late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after what she called “hateful” rhetoric—just days before a terrifying security breach at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Kimmel sparked outrage last week during a parody segment in which he mocked the Trumps, referring to the first lady as “an expectant widow” while joking about their marriage.

“Our first lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said.

The remark drew fierce backlash after a suspected would-be assassin attempted to storm the Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday. Authorities say 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, rushed a Secret Service checkpoint at the Washington Hilton armed with multiple weapons and opened fire, wounding an agent before being taken into custody.

In the aftermath, Melania Trump took to X with a blistering response.

“Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy—his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America,” she wrote.

“People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough,” the first lady continued. “It is time for ABC to take a stand. How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.”

President Donald Trump echoed the call, demanding immediate action from the network.

“Wow, Jimmy Kimmel, who is in no way funny as attested to by his terrible Television Ratings, made a statement on his Show that is really shocking,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“He then stated, ‘Our First Lady, Melania, is here… you have a glow like an expectant widow.’ A day later a lunatic tried entering the ballroom of the White House Correspondents Dinner, loaded up with a shotgun, handgun, and many knives. He was there for a very obvious and sinister reason,” Trump continued.

“I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence… this is something far beyond the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC.”

Kimmel, however, pushed back during his Monday night monologue, insisting the joke was harmless.

“It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am. It was not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination. And they know that,” he said.

While expressing sympathy for those shaken by the incident, Kimmel rejected any suggestion his comments played a role.

“I am sorry that you and the president and everyone in that room on Saturday went through that. I really am,” he said. “Because no one got killed doesn’t mean it wasn’t traumatic and scary… But do you want us to believe that a joke I made three days before this dinner had any effect on anything that happened?”

He added, “I’ve been very vocal for many years speaking out against gun violence… and I think a great place to start to dial that back would be to have a conversation with your husband about it.”

Despite the backlash, ABC appears unmoved.

A network source told Page Six that executives are standing by their late-night host and have no plans to discipline him.

“It’s back to taping per usual. They’re moving on,” the insider said.

Kimmel has faced controversy before. Last year, ABC parent company Disney briefly suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” after comments related to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk triggered outrage and drew scrutiny from FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who called the remarks “some of the sickest conduct.”

Kimmel later returned to air, saying he never intended to make light of the tragedy.

For now, despite renewed calls for his removal, it appears Kimmel’s job is safe—leaving critics fuming and the broader debate over media rhetoric once again front and center.

White House Press Sec. Reveals How Trump Gave Her The Role

1

Karoline Leavitt didn’t get a formal sit-down, a public rollout, or even much buildup before landing one of the most visible jobs in Washington.

Instead, she got a casual aside on a phone call.

Speaking Thursday night at a Turning Point USA event at George Washington University, the White House press secretary recounted how President Donald Trump informed her she would take on the role — in what she described as “the most anti-climatic thing ever.”

“About a week after the election, we were on the phone about something, the president and me, just chit-chatting,” Leavitt said.

“And it was the most anti-climatic thing ever. He goes, ‘Oh, by the way, you know, you’re going to be the White House press secretary, right?’”

Her response: “Oh, okay.”

Trump quickly moved on.

“And he said, ‘So about that other thing, what do you think about that? What should we do? What should we say?’”

“That was it. That’s how I got the job,” she said.

Leavitt emphasized there was “no pomp and circumstance,” calling the moment “true Donald Trump fashion” and noting that “there really wasn’t a process.”

At the time, she had been working as a spokesperson on Trump’s 2024 campaign after losing her congressional bid in New Hampshire.

“I thought, I hope I’ll get a job. I don’t know if I will,” she said.

Leavitt, who gave birth to her son in July 2024, is currently nine months pregnant with a daughter — adding another layer of intensity to a role she says began with little more than an offhand comment.

Political Strategist Says Democrats Will Target Trump’s Family After Midterms

Photo via Gage Skidmore Flickr

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is escalating his rhetoric against President Donald Trump, warning that Democrats will aggressively target not just the president—but his family—if they win back power in the 2026 midterms.

In a new video this week, Carville predicted sweeping GOP losses in November, framing the expected outcome as a political knockout that would leave Trump exposed to a wave of investigations.

“Let’s talk about your future, your post-November future,” Carville said, anticipating widespread defeat of Trump and the GOP. “The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

“They’re going to start going after you. Then they’re going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is,” he continued. “Then they’re going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses and all the other bulls— that you see, and they’re going to investigate the s— out of you.”

The comments build on a broader—and increasingly aggressive—set of predictions from Carville, who has repeatedly argued that Democrats are poised for major midterm gains. Across multiple recent appearances, he has claimed Republicans are heading toward significant losses, citing voter frustration over inflation, dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership, and fallout from the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict.

Carville has gone even further, suggesting those losses could trigger a chain reaction inside Washington: Democratic control of Congress, immediate impeachment proceedings, and a flood of investigations into Trump’s finances, conduct in office, and inner circle.

Trump himself has warned that a Democratic victory would lead to exactly that scenario, arguing that impeachment and investigations would follow quickly if Republicans lose control of the House or Senate.

Carville, however, is not just predicting investigations—he is openly embracing them. He has previously urged Democrats to center their messaging on accountability, including proposals for commissions to examine alleged “war profiteering” tied to the Iran conflict, which he has called a “catastrophe of the first order” and a “racket war.”

In his latest remarks, Carville also raised the possibility that Trump could face scrutiny beyond U.S. borders.

“When it comes to the stuff you’re doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line,” Carville warned. “And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts and I think it’s in Hog or Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your a–, not gonna protect you.”

He added that Trump’s political support could quickly erode—even within his own party—if Republicans suffer major defeats.

“You know who’s going to turn on you?” Carville asked. “What’s left of the Republican senators.”

Carville has repeatedly floated a dramatic endgame: that the mounting pressure—from investigations, impeachment threats, and political isolation—could ultimately push Trump to resign early and seek a pardon from Vice President JD Vance. Still, he has argued that even a presidential pardon would not shield Trump from state-level or international legal exposure.

“I got news for you, dude. You’re done,” he said. “And we’re going to enjoy watching your downfall. Thank you very much.”

The White House quickly fired back. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson said, “James Carville is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Carville’s latest comments are consistent with his long track record of blunt—and often controversial—political predictions. In recent years, he has repeatedly forecast Trump’s political collapse, including predicting a Democratic victory in 2024 and even suggesting Trump’s second administration would “collapse in 30 days.”

Now, with the 2026 midterms approaching, Carville is once again making a high-stakes call—this time not just about electoral outcomes, but about what he believes will be an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to investigate Trump, his family, and those closest to him if Democrats take back power.

John Fetterman Reveals Which Trump Admin Official He Surprisingly Gets Along With

2

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) said he has developed an unexpected rapport with Dr. Mehmet Oz—now serving as director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services—despite their bruising 2022 Senate race, highlighting his broader critique of rising political hostility and what he has described elsewhere as “Trump Derangement Syndrome” within his own party.

In an interview released Tuesday with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Fetterman reflected on his past rivalry with Oz, whom he defeated to succeed retiring Republican Sen. Pat Toomey. While acknowledging the race “got nasty,” Fetterman emphasized a level of personal respect that has carried over into their post-election interactions.

“You know that that campaign got nasty, but you know he’s undeniably, he’s a brilliant guy and I’ve had heart issues,” Fetterman told Hannity. “I would have no problem to have him operate on me, either.”

Fetterman, who suffered a stroke in May 2022 during the campaign, said the experience reshaped how he views political conflict and personal animosity.

“I’ve had a near death experience,” Fetterman added. “I don’t, I don’t carry any of that stuff and you know, we’re in the business that there is, part of it is just professional wrestling and then the more it gets more and more personal, like, that’s really in the wrong direction and things get really, really kind of bitter… and when you are openly telling people to you know, fuck off, or call these kinds of names that’s become the new normal and that’s just the wrong direction.”

Watch:

The Pennsylvania Democrat has increasingly positioned himself as willing to break with his party on a range of issues, drawing criticism from some progressives. He has faulted fellow Democrats for what he has characterized in other remarks as an excessive focus on former President Donald Trump—often referred to by critics as “Trump Derangement Syndrome”—arguing that it distracts from pragmatic policymaking and alienates voters.

Fetterman’s recent positions reflect that independence. He criticized Democrats for blocking a spending bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and backed Operation Epic Fury, a joint U.S.-Israeli military effort targeting Iran’s military capabilities. He has also defended Trump-era strikes against suspected drug smugglers and taken a more moderate stance on election policy.

“For me as a Democrat, just fundamentally at the end of the day showing basic, basic, ID to vote is a very reasonable idea,” Fetterman told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo during a Feb. 17 appearance on “Mornings with Maria.”

His willingness to cross party lines—and to openly criticize Democratic messaging—has fueled speculation that he could face a primary challenge when he seeks reelection in 2028.

Senate Democrat Claims ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ Is Leading Democrat Party

2

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is drawing fresh attention—and likely some backlash—after bluntly arguing that his own party lacks clear leadership and is instead being driven by what he called “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Appearing on the All-In Podcast, Fetterman was asked a straightforward question by host David Friedberg: “Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?”

Fetterman’s response was equally direct: “we don’t have one,” before adding a sharper critique. He said he believes “TDS” is “the leader right now,” explaining, “our party is governed by the TDS.”

“TDS,” short for “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” is a term popular among Trump allies and critics of the left, used to describe what they see as reflexive or excessive opposition to former President Donald Trump. Fetterman’s willingness to adopt the phrase publicly sets him apart from most Democratic lawmakers, who typically reject the framing.

He doubled down on the point later in the interview, reiterating, “You asked me earlier, what’s the leader of the Democratic Party right now. I would say it’s TDS.” To illustrate his argument, Fetterman added that Trump “could come out for ice cream and lazy Sundays and now, suddenly, Democrats would hate it. We would wanna vote it down.”

The Pennsylvania senator has increasingly positioned himself as an independent voice within the party, particularly on foreign policy. During the same podcast, he emphasized his support for aggressive U.S. action abroad, specifically referencing Operation Epic Fury, a U.S. strike targeting Iran.

Fetterman said that he is “literally the only Democrat in America, uh, in Congress, that I’ve come across that’s saying, I think it’s a great thing to break and destroy the Iranian regime. I think it’s entirely appropriate to hold them accountable.”

His comments reflect a broader pattern: Fetterman has often broken with progressive Democrats on national security and Middle East policy. He has been one of the most vocal Democratic supporters of Israel following the October 7 attacks, a stance that has at times put him at odds with members of his own party’s base.

“As a Democrat, I’m deeply proud to stand with Israel through the horror of 10/07,” Fetterman wrote in a recent post on X. “I’m deeply proud of our military and what they’ve accomplished in Epic Fury. Picking country over party is never wrong.”

Taken together, Fetterman’s remarks highlight an ongoing tension within the Democratic Party: a divide between lawmakers who prioritize opposition to Trump and those, like Fetterman, who argue the party needs a more defined agenda—and a clearer leader.
