'He's totally blown it': Trump warned his polling numbers are about to get much worse

President Donald Trump's base of support may soon fracture into two competing far-right factions, according to one expert. The Wall Street Journal's Joshua Chaffin and Zusha Elinson reported Friday that two camps within the MAGA world are emerging and will likely battle for supremacy during Trump's second term. They wrote that on one side are "tech bros racing to create a new future," with Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as the quintessential example. On the other side are "conservative Catholics who yearn for an imagined past," like Vice President JD Vance, who seek to upend the liberal establishment and return America to a "bygone era."

Donald Trump recently went all out in an effort to reverse a Joe Biden-era program, only to hurt his own voters in the process, according to a report.

"But a key part of the program was sending money to red states to expand internet access in rural/MAGA country. Now they might not get it," Sargent wrote on social media.

Fox News host Jimmy Failla compared a 12-foot-tall statue of a Black woman to a "dream" of King Kong. On his Saturday night Fox News program, Failla noted that artist Thomas J. Price had placed the statue in Times Square to change "the narrative of who we put on statues." "But if you really wanted to do a fitting tribute to the women in Times Square, you'd have a hooker with an Adams apple, would you not?" he joked. "Now, some critics have called out the sculptor for refusing to use an actual Black woman instead of going with an imaginary woman he created from scratch." Want more breaking poli...

Donald Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller said Friday that the White House is “actively looking at” suspending the ability of migrants to challenge their detention in court, according to Bloomberg. “The Constitution is clear,” Miller said, citing the clause allowing for suspension of habeas corpus during times of invasion. “So it’s an option we’re actually looking at, but a lot of it depends on whether the court will do the right thing or not.” The eyebrow-raising comments came Friday as Miller addressed reporters, where he floated the possibility of the move, which would essentially halt hab...

MSNBC has caught the ire of President Donald Trump as he’s criticized the outlet multiple times, Friday morning. “I just watched an exhausted, highly neurotic Stephanie Ruhle spew LIES about Tariffs, as do many others, in order not to give me the Victory that they all see coming.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert on SiriusXM's Urban View that after Democrats' failure in 2024, party donors will seek "the safest white boy" they can find to back to avoid rocking the boat in 2028. “It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we've lost so far," said Crockett, who has recently become a target for racially-charged invective from President Donald Trump.
