President Biden ribbed rival Donald Trump as “defeated-looking” on Tuesday, the second day of jury selection in the former president’s Manhattan trial over concealing 2016 hush money payments. “Just the other day, a defeated-looking guy came up to me and asked if I could help. He was drowning in debt. And I said, ‘I’m sorry, Donald, but I can’t help you,'” Trump told a small crowd in his birth city of Scranton, Pa. Biden, 81, did not directly mention the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, an elected Democrat, against Trump, 77, for allegedly falsifying business records to...

A Trump-aligned super PAC is hitting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for sticking his “dirty fingers” into entitlement programs for senior citizens — and allegedly using them to eat pudding as well, according to a stomach-churning ad released Friday. “Ron DeSantis loves sticking his fingers where they don’t belong, and we’re not just talking about pudding,” the ad’s narrator says, referring to an alleged 2019 incident where the 44-year-old Florida governor ate chocolate pudding with three of his fingers while on a private plane ride to Washington, DC. “DeSantis has his dirty fingers all over senior entitlements like cutting Medicare, slashing...

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough mocked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for urging conservatives to donate to former President Donald Trump’s campaign following his indictment Thursday night. “I always talk about the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker approach to politics scamming people like my grandmother out of their Social Security checks, $25 here, $50 there,” Scarborough said on his morning table talk program on Friday. “I’ve got to say, that Lindsey Graham moment, he’s tearing up. Lindsey knows what a bad man Donald Trump is. Lindsey is one who said if we make him our nominee, he’ll destroy the Republican Party, and...

The typically raucous crowd at former President Donald Trump’s Waco, Texas, rally didn’t give him any love when he mocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, his expected presidential rival, on Saturday. Speaking to his supporters, Trump recounted how DeSantis asked him for an endorsement for his 2018 governor’s race, claiming the Florida Republican came to him with “tears in his eyes.” The former president ultimately touted himself as DeSantis’ savior, claiming it was his endorsement that secured a win for the Florida governor. But as Trump imitated DeSantis in a pleading voice, the throngs were unusually silent, failing to cheer as...

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) roasted former President Trump during the Gridiron Club dinner on Saturday, calling him crazy and joking that if he were in a mental institution “he ain’t getting out.” “He’s f—ing crazy,” the governor said, according to multiple reports citing those in attendance at the event, known for its roasts of politicians and other figures. “I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution,” Sununu added. “But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out.”

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Monday reacted to an email from former President Donald Trump that was critical of the show and its ratings. The statement from the former president read, “Will Morning Joe be canceled? He and Mika’s ratings are very low—they are having an extremely hard time finding an audience to listen to the Fake News they spurn. Losing them would be very sad—hope it doesn’t happen! On another front, looks like Unjoy Reid, the racist commentator on MSDNC (MSNBC), is toast. Her stupidity is only surpassed by her absolute lack of television persona. She never...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a dig at opponents of her Green New Deal climate proposal — sharing video of the severe flooding that left New Yorkers wading through waist-high water at subway stations across the city — claiming her policy would have avoided the disaster, but instead New Yorkers have to “swim to work.” “The Green New Deal, which is a blueprint to create millions of good jobs rebuilding infrastructure to stem climate change & protect vulnerable communities, is unrealistic,” Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted in quotations, writing the post as a critic of her plan. “Instead we will do the adult...

In a statement Wednesday, Donald Trump offered a tongue-in-cheek rejection of comparisons between President Biden and Jimmy Carter — saying Biden is in fact even worse. "I see that everybody is comparing Joe Biden to Jimmy Carter. It would seem to me that is very unfair to Jimmy Carter," Trump said. "Jimmy mishandled crisis after crisis, but Biden has created crisis after crisis." In recent weeks, Republicans have compared Biden to Carter, who is viewed, particularly among Republicans, as an ineffective president whose travails ultimately caused him to lose reelection to Ronald Reagan.
