President Trump is digging in on his criticism of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, repeating his accusation that she “begged” him for a photo at the Group of Seven (G7) summit earlier this week. The two heads of state, who previously enjoyed a friendly relationship, have butted heads over the Iran war. They both traveled…

President Donald Trump floated a plan Saturday that he hoped will “totally discombobulate” journalists and make them “go totally crazy” – a plan he asked his supporters for feedback on in a post on social media.That plan, as Trump explained, would be to rename Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the “National Immigration and Customs Enforcement" (NICE), an idea he floated last month to little fanfare. Such an action would require approval from Congress, something that appears unlikely given Republicans’ razor-thin majority.“The concept I have had for quite some time – A strong feeling that the name of these Patriots, ‘ICE,’ should be changed to, ‘NICE,’ in that it will totally discombobulate Crooked, Dishonest, and Unpatriotic Reporters and Journalists,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “For them to say, ‘We went to a NICE Facility today,’ as opposed to ‘ICE’ or, ‘NICE Agents have deported a Violent Drug Dealer,’ they won’t be able to handle it, they will go totally crazy! Everyone loves it, but I have been told by the legendary Tom Homan that the Agents do not love it as much as the other population. Who thinks that we should add an ‘N’ to change the name of ‘ICE’ to ‘NICE?’”Just as he had done about an hour earlier, Trump also included a poll in his social media post to gauge his supporters’ thoughts on the matter. As of 10:40 a.m. ET, 81% of Trump’s followers indicated they supported the name change.Trump’s two polls come amid the tentative peace deal between Washington and Tehran falling apart, with Iranian military officials announcing earlier Saturday morning that the Strait of Hormuz was, again, closed to commercial traffic citing a violation of the agreement.
Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to President Donald Trump, lashed out at Fox News host Mark Levin Saturday over Levin’s continued criticisms of the tentative peace deal the Trump administration had agreed to with Iran, going as far as to suggest he was working on behalf of a foreign government.Previously a “Never Trump” conservative, Levin has championed the president amid his deeply unpopular war against Iran. After the Trump administration reached a tentative peace deal with Iran, however, Levin appeared to reverse course and repeatedly attacked the Trump administration for having “capitulated” to Iran’s demands.Levin’s latest criticism of the Trump administration was lobbed Saturday morning on social media where he sarcastically criticized a social media post from Trump in which the president appeared to back the idea that he “holds the cards” in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's re-election chances.“Surely we’re not interfering in another country’s election,” Levin wrote. “We oppose that. Must be fake news.”After seeing Levin’s social media post, Bruesewitz issued the Fox News host a blistering response.“Hey [Levin], I’m getting really sick of you attacking President Trump,” Bruesewitz wrote in a social media post on X.Bruesewitz flagged a report by The Times of Israel on Thursday about Netanyahu’s supposed plans to “use right-wing media personalities” to “influence” the terms of the tentative peace deal between Washington and Tehran. The report explicitly names Levin as an example.“This report came out a couple of days ago and I haven’t seen you respond to it,” Bruesewitz wrote.“Are you working with a foreign government to try to influence the American people’s opinion and President Trump’s deal with Iran? Or are you just spreading lies and misinformation because you are returning to your anti-Trump roots?”Bruesewitz has supported Trump since 2015 and was an organizer behind the Stop the Steal movement, the movement led by those who falsely allege that systemic voter fraud occurred in the 2020 election that culminated with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in 2021.Hey @marklevinshow, I’m getting really sick of you attacking President Trump.This report came out a couple of days ago and I haven’t seen you respond to it.Are you working with a foreign government to try to influence the American people’s opinion and President Trump’s deal… https://t.co/hdfpjV0AOI pic.twitter.com/K4pe39r2iK— Alex Bruesewitz 🇺🇸 (@alexbruesewitz) June 20, 2026
President Trump cracked a joke Wednesday about who would get credit — or blame — for his administration’s Iran deal. If the Iran effort succeeds, Trump said, he would take the credit. If it fails, he said he would blame Vice President Vance. “You better be careful, JD!” the president quipped. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the…
President Trump on Friday highlighted the vandalism of the monuments in Washington, DC, and slammed liberal ABC reporter Jonathan Karl for celebrating the destruction of the Capital. Leftists in DC have inscribed "86 47," calling for Trump's death, on the grass of the National Mall and on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool in recent days. The post NEW: Trump Comments on Vandalism of Reflecting Pool – Nukes “Lightweight” Jonathan Karl for “Trying to Rip the Rubber Off of the Surface” (VIDEO) appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni's war of words over a factually contested photo op at the G-7 exploded on Saturday, with the one-time friends blasting each other in angry terms on social media.Why it matters: Even as Trump lavishes praise on American adversaries like China's Xi Jinping, close allies are increasingly willing to split with him. Catch up quick: The controversy erupted earlier this week when Trump claimed Meloni begged him for a photo together at the global gathering in France.Meloni was quick to deny she'd ever made such a request.Trump took to Truth Social Saturday morning to again insist she'd begged for a picture in an effort to improve her poll numbers, and to accuse her of being ungrateful for American support. "[S]he wants to be friends again in order to get her 'numbers up.' No thanks!!!" Trump wrote.Driving the news: Meloni blasted Trump in an Instagram post just minutes later. "President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless," she wrote."As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you." The Italian press sided with their prime minister; one newspaper insulted Trump in vulgar terms on its front page Saturday.Between the lines: The U.S.-Italy relationship has grown strained in recent months over the war in Iran.Italy at one point denied U.S. aircraft permission to land at its bases. Meloni, in her Instagram post, defended that decision as a matter of protecting Italian sovereignty."In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours," she wrote. The bottom line: At a fraught moment for international relations, the U.S. has another brewing diplomatic crisis on its hands.
President Trump said the Italian leader had “begged” him to take a photo together at the Group of 7 summit in France. The remarks come as their once-friendly relationship has frayed.
A right-wing Italian paper went after Trump with a vulgar name amid his spat with the country's prime minister."Sorry to say it, but I can't find, and perhaps there isn't, another way to say it," a translation of the Italian article from the Libero Quotidiano reads. "Donald Trump is an a—."The article uses the Italian term "coglione," even using it in the headline, as it blasted Trump for ruining progress towards a friendly relationship with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni by telling an Italian news network that she "begged" him for a photo during the G7 summit. Meloni denied the account and accused Trump of making it up in a fierce response that tore into him."Only an a— could ruin everything with a lie so huge as to become ridiculous," the article read. "Why say such nonsense? The answer can only be found in the definition of the word 'a—' which has entered the popular jargon of the Italian language: an inept, stupid person who acts with little intelligence."Trump stood by his claim that Meloni was a "big fan" of his in comments to NBC News on Friday. Meanwhile, Meloni was cheered on across the world, even called "fabulous," for firing back at Trump.Although the article attacks "the inadequacy of the American president," it does strike a sympathetic tone by admitting, "it is not the case to declare war on America," and "we do not deny it, we too had placed many hopes" in Trump.
