It was supposed to be a routine appearance, a visit from the commander in chief to rally the troops, boost morale and celebrate the Army's 250th-birthday week, which culminates with a Washington, D.C., parade slated for Saturday. Instead, what unfolded Tuesday at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, bore little resemblance to the customary visit from a president and defense secretary. There, President Donald Trump unleashed a speech laced with partisan invective, goading jeers from a crowd of soldiers positioned behind his podium -- blurring the long-standing and sacrosanct line between the military and partisan politics. As Trump viciously attacked his perceived...

Two of the more aesthetic aspects of Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, were a definite cheerful attitude and gallery full of remarkable people with almost unbelievable stories. After Trump’s forty-four-day whirlwind of actions, it was expected that there would be a few extravagant reactions by the Democrats, starting with the removal of Rep. Al Green, D-Texas.

As a lifelong Democrat, I never imagined I would watch my own party embarrass itself so thoroughly — and so publicly — as it did during Tuesday’s joint session of Congress. From obnoxious booing to childish protest signs to a sitting member of Congress having to be physically removed from the chamber, Democrats turned what should have been a solemn, dignified event into a bad reality show. And for what?...... When we act like this, we embarrass ourselves and alienate the very voters we claim to champion. Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) called it “a sad cavalcade of self-owns and unhinged...

When President Donald Trump made his speech to a joint session of Congress last night, a number of female Democratic members of Congress wore pink to protest the Trump administration’s policies they say negatively impact women and families. “Pink is a color of power and protest,” New Mexico Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, who chairs the Democratic Women’s Caucus, told Time prior to the speech. “It’s time to rev up the opposition and come at Trump loud and clear.” Pink ― a color archetypically associated with femininity ― also calls to mind the “pink pussy hat” era: After Trump was elected...

President Trump said the U.S. could possibly eliminate the federal income tax if his tariff plans work out as intended. "If the tariffs work out like I think, a thing like that could happen, if you want to know the truth," he said. "Years ago, 1870 to 1913, we didn't have an income tax. What we had is tariffs." Trump also said the additional IRS agents the Biden administration hired could potentially move to the border.

Donald Trump promised a 'new golden age of America' after being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on Monday. 'The decline is over,' he told about 600 allies, dignitaries and family members inside the U.S. Capitol building. He used his inaugural address to balance the idea of an optimistic new dawn with his long-standing accusations that he was the target of a weaponized justice system and to promise a sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration. 'As we gather today, our government confronts a crisis of trust,' he said. 'For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said former President Trump “couldn’t keep up the act” in his speech accepting the GOP nomination at the 2024 Republican National Convention late Thursday. “It seemed as if he couldn’t keep up the act,” Wallace said on CNN in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “And so, we started hearing about ‘crazy Nancy Pelosi’ and cheating on elections and talking about Biden.” “Frankly, it was a long speech, it was a rambling speech, it was a speech by an older man, and I couldn’t help but think that the people that are gonna be happiest tonight are...

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said early Friday morning that former President Trump’s speech at the Republican National Committee (RNC) was “the first good thing that’s happened to Democrats in three weeks.” “People, I’m sure, responded very positively to his appeals to unity that were written on the teleprompter, and then he just ripped the bejesus out of everybody… all his political enemies and so on,” Axelrod, also a former Obama adviser said on CNN. “I have to tell you… Chris Wallace said this,” Axelrod said. “This is the first good thing that’s happened to Democrats in the last three weeks.”...

Donald Trump gave a humble and thoughtful Republican nomination acceptance speech last night that saw him as less of a brawler and more reflective on life and unity in the days following the assassination attempt that almost claimed his life. “I stand before you this evening with a message of confidence, strength, and hope,” Trump began. “Together, we will launch a new era of safety, prosperity and freedom for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.” “The discord and division in our society must be healed. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared...

Former President Donald Trump delivered a record-breaking speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Thursday evening — a speech that far-left Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom called “boring” in a post to X. Newsom also accused Trump of “rambling” and being a “liar” after the speech — which was, notably, Trump’s first speech since he was almost assassinated at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. “Boring. Rambling. Liar. We will beat him,” claimed Newsom, who is often floated as a potential replacement for 81-year-old President Joe Biden but who has, so far, publicly denied considering himself...

Speaking outside Allentown, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Donald Trump left everyone confused when he attempted to explain the Battle of Gettysburg, praised (and invented a quote from) Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and generally had no idea what he was talking about. When his off-the-cuff remarks hit late-night television on Monday, the hosts couldn’t hide their laughter. . . .
