Clip of Trump's blunder-filled summit unsettles MS NOW: 'Something deeply wrong with him'

MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace opened her show Wednesday by rattling off what President Donald Trump had just told the world — the Iran ceasefire is over, all trade with Spain is cut off, and, in her recounting, "Japan is now apparently an Islamic republic."She was reacting to Trump's rounds of news conferences at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, where the president mixed up Iran and Japan, claiming "111 missiles" had been fired at a U.S. aircraft carrier by the "Islamic Republic of Japan." Moments earlier, seated beside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump had gestured to him and asked reporters if they had a question for "President Putin." He also called TikTok "tic tac," branded Iran's leaders "scum," and declared the ceasefire over.Wallace was briefly left speechless as she played the clip, then unloaded with a withering verdict dripping in sarcasm."Marco Rubio is going to have to start standing next to him and translating. But unsurprisingly, Donald Trump's incomprehensible, unhinged, embarrassing, uninformed, me, me, me display there in his approach to geopolitics has had an effect. It appears to have finally exasperated and exhausted European leaders' patience," she said.Her guests went further.Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia, said such moments would once have been treated as international crises but now draw a shrug. Atlantic staff writer Tom Nichols, a professor emeritus at the Naval War College, offered the bleakest read."It's almost like we have a relative in the room, and there's something deeply wrong with him, and we've all agreed to not talk about it," Nichols said. "But there is something deeply wrong with him. His friends know it. His critics know it. His staff, I'm sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don't take him seriously." Nichols argued the real danger wasn't the viral gaffes, but that Trump made claims about an active war no one could parse. Wallace tied it to a broader shift, citing New York Times reporting that European leaders have decided to stop humoring the president and push back.

Trump buried by experts over move to stop Carroll payment: ‘Have some self-respect!’

President Donald Trump's last-minute appeal of a court order to pay writer E. Jean Carroll more than $5 million cannot stop the money from going out the door, legal experts suggest.Trump's lawyers filed a notice of appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals moments after U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan ordered the court clerk to release the funds Wednesday.The order directs the clerk to disburse $5 million — plus nearly $780,000 in interest — from an escrow account where Trump had parked the money while he appealed."What does the appeal mean? In and of itself, nothing," Chris Geidner, a legal journalist who publishes the Law Dork newsletter, wrote on X. "The order is the order, so unless Judge Lewis A. Kaplan or the Second Circuit does something to stop the judge's order from being in effect, the clerk's office is disbursing the money."In other words, filing an appeal doesn't automatically freeze a judge's order. Trump would need a court to grant a separate stay — a formal pause — to actually stop the payment."Appealing a disbursement order ... man, have some self-respect!" Liz Dye wrote on Bluesky. "This is the kind of amazing lawyering you'd expect from Alina Habba's junior partner.""He is such a cheap, judgment-dodging S—," legal analyst Katie Phang wrote on Bluesky, linking to the notice of appeal."After four years of litigation across every level of the federal court system, it is time for this case to end," Carroll's attorney Roberta Kaplan wrote last week. "It is time for him to pay Carroll."According to SCOTUSblog, the Supreme Court declined to hear Trump's challenge of the $5 million verdict on June 29.None of the nine justices noted a dissent — including three Trump had appointed.Trump has also asked the Supreme Court to reconsider that denial. Roberta Kaplan called the bid likely to fail, noting that rehearing is "an even more extraordinary remedy, granted in only narrow circumstances." The court has not yet ruled.Meanwhile, Trump separately owes Carroll $83.3 million from a 2024 defamation verdict. That case is also headed to the Supreme Court.
