Trump 'clearly worried' about losing Senate after latest attack against candidate: analyst

President Donald Trump is increasingly turning his fury at Democratic Senate candidates, MS NOW's Jen Psaki said on Wednesday — because he's seen the data and he's getting scared. The president, she noted, "spent part of his time in the Oval Office today ranting about the Democratic nominees for U.S. Senate in the upcoming election. And he seemed to be focused on one candidate in particular" — that being veteran and oyster farmer Graham Platner, who won a landslide nomination in his primary this week despite a cloud of scandals about his personal life.Psaki played a clip of Trump speaking about Platner."Yeah, once that thug that's up in Maine, he's a thug. He's a thug," said Trump. "I know thugs. I had to deal with thugs. I built a lot of buildings. I dealt with worse than thugs. This guy's a thug. He's a low-level thug. But this is a thug. You know, he's not a businessman at all. His parents supported him. He's a loser. Other than that, he might be very nice.""That is Trump's new line of attack against Graham Platner. He's a thug, the kind of thug who — wait for it — needs help from his parents to start a business, as thugs do," said Psaki, taking care to note that Trump himself relied on his father to get his business off the ground.The key takeaway, she continued, is that "Trump is clearly worried about the Senate. He's clearly worried about Graham. He's clearly worried about [Texas nominee] James Talarico ... And he's not the only one," as a memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee warned Maine Sen. Susan Collins is uniquely vulnerable to a challenge from Platner."He's still currently leading Susan Collins in the polls," noted Psaki — and "it comes as Platner released his first general election campaign ad today, focused on how he will take on what he calls the 'Epstein class' in Washington." - YouTube youtu.be

Marjorie Taylor Greene stuns Kaitlin Collins with staggering claim about Trump

Former MAGA congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shocked CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins with a strong claim about President Donald Trump.Greene detailed how Trump called her a "traitor" because she urged the release of the Epstein files, but she turned the tables by saying Trump and "pedophiles and rapists of the elite class" are the real traitors."They should be considered traitors," Greene said. "They're traitors. The ones that refuse to release the Epstein files want to cover up for pedophiles and rapists, and all sorts of disgusting things in these files. Those are the traitors to the American people, and they should be ashamed of themselves.""Are you saying that that applies to the president himself?" Collins asked Greene."I'm saying exactly that," Greene said. "He told me on the phone that his friends would get hurt, and that's why he's against releasing the Epstein files.""It's pretty remarkable to hear you say that," Collins said. "You think the president is a traitor.""What is remarkable to me is that this administration, people that we voted for demanding transparency, the man that campaigned all over the country claiming that he would be the one to drain the swamp, is the very man that fought to keep the Epstein files from being released," Greene said. "Then he, in turn, called me the traitor."

Minnesota lawmaker's killer avoids death sentence in new plea deal: report

Vance Boelter, the suspected assassin who killed former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, has reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.According to The New York Times, "The Justice Department’s letter to the judge described 'a proposed plea agreement' and asked for a hearing in which Mr. Boelter could change his not guilty plea." While the letter did not give details on the nature of the agreement, the letter "said that prosecutors would not seek the death penalty."Boelter was also accused of shooting state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, who survived the attack.The assassination of Hortman sparked political fears around the country, including worries that more such killings could happen in an elevated climate of anger.

Historians pull apart Trump's 'skewed narrative' on presidential walk of fame

The New York Times had historians look at President Donald Trump's presidential walk of fame and called out obvious biases and an odd writing style.Trump's "Walk of Fame" features 47 plaques and a summary of all of the 47 presidencies, including Trump's. According to a detailed article by the Times, the histories are skewed and "peppered with falsehoods, misrepresentations, insults, praise, self-promotion and erratic capitalizations."Historians familiar with Democratic and Republican presidencies looked at the summaries included in the walkway and found a "skewed narrative" that cast Trump "as the protagonist." The summaries are written in "Trump's signature hyperbolic style, as seen in his social media posts," the Times wrote based on feedback from the historians.Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said in a statement, "As a student of history, many were written directly by the president himself." Sean Wilentz, an American history professor at Princeton University, told the Times that the presidential walk of fame is "not so much bad history as it is anti-historical."The Times also noted a "sharper and more partisan tone" in the summaries for more recent presidents such as Joe Biden and Barack Obama. The "Walk of Fame" also describes the White House ballroom as already built, and the description of the first year of Trump's second term is longer than those for presidents Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt combined.

Trump jinxes NY Knicks? Fans blame president after Bridges ‘disappears’ in Game 3 of finals.

On Monday, President Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game, appearing at Game 3 of the Knicks vs. Spurs series at Madison Square Garden, where he was loudly booed by the New York crowd during the national anthem.But his less-than-warm welcome wasn’t the only controversial thing that happened. After the Knicks lost 115-111, some Knicks fans blamed Trump for throwing the home team off its mojo. Apparently his attendance created a circus-like atmosphere with heavy security, booing, and shifted crowd energy that allegedly contributed to the team’s loss.According to some disgruntled fans, Trump’s appearance is why Knicks player Mikal Bridges “disappeared.” The shooting guard had a rough game, scoring only two points, leading to his benching in the second half.“They’re — of course — blaming him for the loss,” sighs “Pat Gray Unleashed” co-host Keith Malinak. Before Game 3, "The View’s" Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed concern about Trump attending the game and warned that he would be the scapegoat if the Knicks lost.“If I were advising him, I would be like, ‘Do not go, because if they lose tonight, everyone's going to blame Trump,”’ she cautioned.“And it happened,” says Pat. “They are blaming him.”But it appears that Trump is unaware of — or unaffected by — the backlash.In a postgame interview, he said, “It was, I think, mostly cheers. It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic.”Once again, Trump lives rent-free in the heads of his critics — even when it comes to an NBA game.To hear more of the panel’s discussion, watch the episode above.Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Trump's new inflation remarks leave political analysts aghast

President Donald Trump declared, "I love the inflation," while signing the Secure America Act, drawing swift criticism from Democratic leaders and political analysts. Inflation has climbed to its highest level since 2023, currently at 4.2%. Reactions poured in. "Trump really said, 'I love the inflation.' On camera. For all of America to hear. His contempt for you knows no bounds," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote on X."Donald Trump just said 'I love the inflation,' while handing over another $70 billion to ICE thugs. This administration doesn’t care about working people," Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) wrote on X.Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov suggested the statement handed Democrats the midterms, while economist Ben Zipperer sarcastically noted real wages have declined to January 2025 levels due to inflation.UC Riverside public policy professor Stan Oklobdzija wrote on Bluesky, "Imagine if a political reporter decided to treat Trump's brain-pudding ramblings seriously and wrote a story that led with 'President declares 'Love' for Inflation' and then asked prominent Republicans whether they also loved the 4.2% CPI increase."Watch the video below.
