Data guru aghast as he hunts for sliver of good news for Trump — and finds nothing

CNN's Harry Enten hunted high and low — and was unable to turn up even the faintest sliver of good news in polling for President Donald Trump Friday.

The president's approval ratings have been drooping since his return to the White House at the start of last year, and the data analyst to "CNN News Central" said that he couldn't find a single survey that showed voters approved of his performance.

Fox's Maria Bartiromo has on-air flip-out as guest makes blunt Trump comparison

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) took aim at President Donald Trump on Friday with an unfavorable comparison to former President Barack Obama that sent Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo into a furious on-air rebuttal.

While asking Khanna about Trump’s recent visit to China, Bartiromo made an offhand reference to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known as the Iran nuclear deal, the Obama-era agreement that unfroze Iranian assets in exchange for limits on Tehran’s nuclear program and international monitoring.

Trump says quiet part out loud on why he's bombing Iran: 'It’s more for public relations'

In the wake of the Trump administration’s failure to achieve regime change in its war against Iran, President Donald Trump has fixated on another objective – seizing the country’s supply of enriched uranium. But on Thursday, he made a startling admission that the effort was largely a public relations stunt.

“I’d just feel better if I got it, actually,” Trump said in an interview that aired Thursday on Fox News with Sean Hannity. “But it’s… I think it’s more for public relations than it is for anything else.”

Trump's overnight Truth Social posts show 'crisis' any psychiatrist would flag: biographer

President Donald Trump's late-night Truth Social posting sprees reveal a pattern that mental health professionals might say warrants serious concern, according to one of the president's biographers.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has written four books about Trump, discussed Trump's social media habits on a new episode of "Inside Trump's Head," a podcast he co-hosted with Hugh Dougherty, the Daily Beast's executive editor, on Thursday. A recent review of Trump's posts by The Daily Beast found that the president has made more than 8,000 posts since returning to office in January. The review found that the president did not post on just five or six nights in April, and he was repeatedly posting during hours when most adults are asleep.

'Oh my god!' Analyst comes unglued as GOP pundit brings up Biden on CNN

A heated exchange on CNN's "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip devolved into a shouting match on Thursday evening when a political analyst lost his composure after a Republican pundit deflected criticism of President Donald Trump's trip to China by invoking former President Joe Biden.

The segment quickly spiraled into a clash between John Avlon, a former Democratic candidate in New York, and Joe Borelli, a former Republican lawmaker in New York, as the panel debated who the "big dog" was in U.S.-China relations.

Jim Jordan squirms as Kaitlan Collins throws his words back in his face

CNN's Kaitlan Collins made Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) squirm during a segment on "The Source" on Thursday after she threw his words about gas prices back in his face.

Collins reminded Jordan of how critical he was of the Biden administration when the price of gasoline topped $3 per gallon during the COVID-19 pandemic. Jordan, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, has remained largely silent as gas prices have climbed above $4.50 per gallon amid the Trump administration's war with Iran.

'Truly vile': Fox News host sparks fury with 'repulsive' joke about Black voters

Fox News host Jesse Watters sparked outrage on Thursday after he uttered a "trash" claim about the Voting Rights Act during a segment on the show he co-hosts, "The Five."

During the segments, Watters claimed that Black people don't have enough babies to justify their proportionate share of representation in Congress. He made the claim at a time when the Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais that states can gerrymander their maps for partisan purposes, even if there is a racially discriminatory effect. Red states like Louisiana, Florida, and Tennessee have all passed new maps since the ruling that eliminated Democratic seats held by Black representatives and cracked majority Black voting districts.

'Where is Melania?' First lady flabbergasts legal expert with historic snub of husband

President Donald Trump's trip to China was billed as a high-stakes diplomatic summit with President Xi Jinping, but with one notable exception: the first lady was nowhere to be found.

Melania Trump, who had attended the 2017 Xi summit and appeared alongside both leaders and their spouses, sat this one out entirely because, according to her office, she was attending the six-month anniversary of an unnamed initiative connected to children and foster care programs. The announcement flabbergasted legal and political commentator Michael Popok, host of the podcast "The Intersection with Michael Popok," who said on a new episode on Thursday that he had no clue what Melania Trump was referring to.

GOP governor's abrupt reversal sets up 'do or die' moment for Dems: analyst

A political analyst warned on Thursday that Democrats have reached a "do or die" moment ahead of the 2026 midterm elections as a red state escalates its efforts to gerrymander its map.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, a Republican, announced on Thursday that he is calling a special session for state lawmakers to redraw their election map ahead of the midterms. The announcement comes after McMaster refused to call a special session earlier this month after the state legislature failed to secure a veto-proof majority supporting the new maps during its regular session.

Trump 'handing a gift' to Dems as his schemes put GOP on back foot: ex-insider
