Trump: Celebs Rumors

Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump apparently thinks that the U.S. government should be a caste system, rather than a democracy — but that doesn’t mean he can explain how a caste system works. In fact, he tried on Wednesday night and got a thorough roasting for it on Wednesday from Seth Meyers.On Tuesday night, the second portion of Trump’s interview with Sean Hannity aired on Fox News, marking the first time Trump has appeared on the network in several months amid several investigations into him.

Twice-impeached former president Donald Trump hasn’t been arrested yet, but Seth Meyers is glued to his phone waiting for the pictures from when he is. Of course, it’s more than just about wanting to see Trump held accountable; Meyers also really wants to see if Trump’s arms can get into the position they need to be in for him to be handcuffed.Meyers was on vacation last week, meaning he wasn’t on the air to cover Trump’s claims that he’d be arrested last Tuesday.

Over the weekend, Donald Trump hit the campaign trail to give a headline-making speech in Waco, Texas — picked, apparently, because it’s currently the 30-year anniversary of the standoff between federal law enforcement and the Branch Davidian cultists that ultimately ended with the deaths of 86 members of the cult.Jimmy Kimmel noticed the significance of the date, not only by snarking that Trump is signaling “he’s going down in flames and he’s taking his cult followers with him,” but also bestowing Trump with a new nickname: Kanye West Wing. Get it?“The other Kanye — Kanye West Wing — had a rally this weekend,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “In Waco, on the 30th anniversary of the siege that claimed the lives of 86 people there.”“You know if it happened now, he would side with the Branch Davidians.

claimed he’d be arrested on Tuesday. According to the New York Post, Trump’s campaign has raised roughly $1.5 million, or, as Fallon put it, “like 10 hush money payments.”The “Tonight Show” host then joked that it’s a lot of money because, after taxes, it’s still $1.5 million for Trump since, well, he doesn’t properly pay his taxes.

the $130,000 hush money payment to Daniels which happened days before the 2016 election by Trump’s then-attorney, Michael Cohen, in order to prevent her from going public with her allegations of a 2006 affair with Trump, which he has long denied.Kimmel continued to pile on with his jokes and said Trump wants to make a spectacle out of being arrested.“He’s been even asking friends if he should smile when he gets arrested. He’s been asking friends if he should smile, and Melania’s been debating whether she should play “Party in the USA” or ‘Celebration’ by Kool & The Gang,” Kimmel said.Kimmel added, “They’re putting a lot of thought into this.

Trump’s attorney and Stormy Daniels have been handed over to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office – as the office prepares to potentially indict the former president on criminal charges. Ms Daniels’ attorney Clark Brewster told CNN that the records between the adult film star and Mr Trump’s personal attorney Joe Tacopina date back to when she was seeking legal representation in 2018. Mr Brewster said that the messages reveal that Ms Daniels had disclosed confidential information to Mr Tacopina about her situation involving the former president.

Jessica Kiang In recent years, self-proclaimed Trump svengali Roger Stone has often been compared to DC Comics character the Penguin. Christoffer Guldbrandsen’s “A Storm Foretold,” a wild-ride doc that grants all-areas access to Stone over a three-year period starting with his 2019 indictment and subsequent pardon, suggests this is not strictly fair. For one thing, as the film begins, Stone is smoking the chunkiest cigar you have ever seen, rather than the more canonically acceptable cigarette holder wielded by the cartoon villain. For another, while Stone has more enemies that you can shake a fat stogie at, no single superherohas yet emerged to save Gotham/the United States of America from his brand of preening, gloating arrogance. If he is the Penguin, where the hell is Batman? 

the former president said over the weekend that he expected to be arrested on Tuesday.“You know it’s bad when a former president announces that he’s going to be arrested and the general response is: For which crime?,” Corden joked.Trump’s prediction comes as a Manhattan grand jury is expected to indict him for hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. “So if you’re keeping track, that’s two times Stormy Daniels has screwed Donald Trump,” Corden teased.New York City has been bracing for unrest after Trump told his supporters to protest and “take our nation back.”“Of course Trump is going to urge his supporters to protest in New York.

arrested Tuesday “irresponsible” incitement.Pence joined Karl on Sunday’s ABC’s “This Week” and, among other things, questioned about Trump’s post on Truth Social Saturday that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday, citing “illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan court district” as the source of his information. While there is no official word if it’s true or not that an indictment is coming, Trump called on his supporters to protest and “take our nation back.”“The Manhattan DA has not said anything about it but he’s calling for people to protest … is that irresponsible?” Karl asked.“I’m taken aback at the idea of indicting a former President of the United States at a time when there’s a crime wave in New York City,” Pence responded, adding that Trump’s potential arrest feels like a “politically charged prosecution.” “The fact that the Manhattan DA thinks that indicting President Trump is his top priority, I think it just tells you everything you need to know about the radical left in this country.”Curving Pence’s attempt to tamper down concerns of past actions while pointing to record inflation and the war in Eastern Europe as major issues Americans are focusing on, Karl made the gravity of inciting another potential riot crystal clear.

YouTubeInsider accounted tweeted. “We carefully evaluated the continued risk of real-world violence, while balancing the chance for voters to hear equally from major national candidates in the run up to an election.”YouTube also added a warning for the former president: “This channel will continue to be subject to our policies, just like any other channel on YouTube.”The last post on the channel was a video of Trump in the White House posted on Dec. 2, 2020, in which he delivers what he said “may be the most important speech I ever made,” and provided what he described as an update on efforts to “expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November elections.”Although in the video Trump said “lots of bad things happened” in the election, more than 60 lawsuits brought by his campaign failed to expose any significant issues that would have reversed the results.

took to Truth Social on Thursday to bemoan the state of the country and pander to his base of supporters, saying that “the greatest threat to Western civilization today is not Russia. It’s probably more than anything else ourselves.”“It’s the abolition of our national borders. It’s the failure to police our own cities,” he wrote.

With the 2024 presidential election getting closer, twice-impeached former president is turning hard on his party (or at least, those who have fallen out of step with him). It’s getting to a point where Seth Meyers thinks it’s not outside the realm of possibility for Trump to eventually backtrack his long criticisms of Barack Obama.During his “A Closer Look” segment on Thursday night, Meyers mocked Florida governor Ron DeSantis for attracting “the bloodshot Eye of Sauron” as he potentially gets closer to announcing a presidential bid.

The Guardian that towards the end of last year, federal prosecutors began examining two loans that were wired to Trump Media and Technology Group through the Caribbean from two entities that appeared to be controlled in part by an individual that appears to be a relative of an ally to Russian president Vladimir Putin.TMTG, which owns Trump’s Truth Social platform, initially came under criminal investigation related to its potential merger with blank check company Digital World Acquisition Corporation. The merger, which has been delayed, has also faced separate scrutiny from the U.S.

Wanna feel old? Contrary to popular depictions of millennial youth as being disenfranchised, politically feckless and bone idle, this eye-opening documentary might be the bazooka that’s needed to shatter all those cozy assumptions. So of-the-moment is Ondi Timoner’s latest work that it premiered almost exactly when the collapse of SVB made international news, and though that particular eventuality isn’t foreseen here, it won’t take much post-festival fine-tuning to bring her film bang up to date.

“Morning Joe” pushed back against former President Donald Trump on Monday after he told the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) over the weekend that he is the only 2024 candidate who can “prevent, and very easily, World War III” and that he would settle the Russia-Ukraine war in “no longer than one day.” In response to Trump’s claim, Willie Geist pointed out that one “big reason” why Russia has not taken over Ukraine is because of the “strength of NATO” and the United States and Europe’s support of the organization. “His administration officials and people who worked alongside him said he wanted to pull the United States out of NATO, which would’ve effectively made it dissolve,” Geist added.

The New York Times examined the response of those networks to the private messages that were made public in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News. According to the NY Times findings, only four publications – Gateway Pundit, Newsmax, the Washington Examiner and the Western Journal – mentioned the suit in some way. However, none of them worked the Fox employees’ private comments into their coverage.

After Bill Maher admitted that he’s “afraid of Trump on a very personal level,” Alyssa Farah Griffin is agreeing with him. During Wednesday’s episode of “The View,” the host admitted that she is also “genuinely afraid” of the twice-impeached former president — especially if he manages to earn a second term in office.Maher’s comments came during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday night.

She came in late.

explosive texts from Fox News hosts revealed in February as part of Dominion Voting System’s defamation lawsuit against the network, Hasan Minhaj is still a bit gobsmacked. On Tuesday night, the “Daily Show” guest host joked that, in reality, it seems Fox personalities are more like those on MSNBC.A quick refresher on those messages: in a court filing on Thursday, February 16, Dominion Voting provided texts, emails and other forms of communication between Fox News hosts from after the 2020 election, in which they called out some of the network’s guests for perpetuating unsupported claims that voting was electronically rigged against twice-impeached former president Donald Trump.Among the messages were ones that said things like “Sidney Powell is lying,” sent from Tucker Carlson to his producer Alex Pfeiffer on Nov.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Bryan Cranston said in an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace that Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan could be received as a “racist remark,” and he asked both Wallace and viewers at home if they’ve ever taken time to consider why that is the case. “The ‘Make America Great Again’ – my comment is: Do you accept that that could possibly be construed as a racist remark?” Cranston said. “And most people, a lot of people go, ‘How could that be racist? Make America Great Again?’ I said, ‘So just ask yourself from, from an African American experience, when was it ever great in America for the African American? When was it great?’”

Katie Reul editor Donald Trump was skewered for his recent press conference in East Palestine, Ohio during the “Saturday Night Live” cold open. Framed as fake C-Span coverage, “SNL” featured player James Austin Johnson embodied the former president as he gave an address to local residents impacted by the recent trail derailment and toxic chemical spill in the area. “I’ve been looking at your river, and it’s so shiny,” Johnson said, impersonating the politician. “I’ve never seen water more beautiful — beautiful rainbows and discoloration. It’s great. It’s wearing makeup, like Fenty beauty water.” Johnson proceeds to shoutout Rihanna for her Feb. 12 halftime show at Super Bowl LVII, commenting on her pregnancy. Regaining focus, Johnson directs blame at the man he identifies as the one true culprit.

Gene Maddaus Senior Media Writer Dominion Voting Systems alleges that emails, depositions and text messages among Fox News executives and its top stars show that the network had a clear financial motive to lie to its audience about voter fraud in the wake of the 2020 election.
