Donald Trump’s rhetorical style is straight out of middle school. He’s like an eighth-grade girl.

Trump Attacks Supreme Court Wall Street Journal Iran

President Donald Trump launched a series of Truth Social posts on Tuesday evening attacking the Supreme Court, The Wall Street Journal, wind energy, and Iran within 90 minutes. Trump announced Pennsylvania coal plants would remain open instead of being replaced by wind farms, which he called “costly and ineffective” and blamed for harming birds, repeating claims that scientists have disputed.

Trump assailed The Wall Street Journal as having “LOST ITS WAY,” targeting editorial board member Elliot Kaufman for an opinion piece criticizing Trump’s Iran negotiations. Trump accused billionaire owner Rupert Murdoch of directing the negative coverage and called the outlet a “failing political RAG.” This attack followed a federal judge’s dismissal of Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the newspaper and journalists who reported on an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump posted a 340-word assault on the Supreme Court, claiming the justices he appointed have become “politically correct” and disloyal while Democratic appointees show unwavering loyalty. He criticized the Republican-appointed justices for lacking loyalty to him personally and allowing Democrats to “push them around,” referencing the court’s February decision striking down his tariff regime as unconstitutional and its pending ruling on birthright citizenship.

On Iran policy, Trump claimed Iran wants to open the Strait of Hormuz to earn $500 million daily and is only saying otherwise to “save face.” He stated that any deal with Iran would require the U.S. to “blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included.” Trump’s comments followed his announcement that the U.S. would extend its ceasefire with Iran indefinitely at Pakistan’s request, leaving no timeline for resolving the conflict that began in late February and has caused thousands of deaths and a surge in gas prices.

Senator Elizabeth Warren responded to the ceasefire extension, telling CNN that Trump “has painted himself into a corner and he can’t find an exit,” noting the absence of any timeline on the blockade or war. Multiple recent polls show a majority of Americans oppose the Iran war.

Kash Patel Says He’s Suing Over Report Claiming He’s Repeatedly Been Intoxicated in Public While FBI Director – Yahoo News UK

FBI Director Kash Patel announced plans to sue The Atlantic after the publication reported that he had struggled to log into a computer system on April 10, initially believing he had been fired by President Trump. According to the article by Sarah Fitzpatrick, Patel panicked and frantically contacted aides and allies about his supposed termination, with nine sources describing his behavior and two characterizing it as a “freak-out,” though the lockout was later determined to be a technical issue unrelated to any personnel action.

The Atlantic’s report also detailed allegations that Patel had been intoxicated in public at restaurants in Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas. The publication claimed that members of his security detail had experienced difficulty waking Patel on multiple occasions due to excessive alcohol consumption, and that a request for breaching equipment typically used by SWAT teams was made after Patel became unreachable behind locked doors.

Patel’s response came through FBI spokesperson Erica Knight, who dismissed the reporting as “fabricated” and announced a lawsuit would be filed. Patel himself posted on X stating he would meet the outlet “in court” and accused it of producing “fake news,” suggesting the actual malice standard required in defamation cases would favor his legal position.

FBI Assistant Director Benjamin Williamson released a statement calling the article “one of the most absurd things” he had read, characterizing it as “completely false reporting at a nearly 100% clip” despite a tight two-hour deadline provided to the publication for response. The statement was included in Patel’s social media post as supporting documentation for his claims of inaccurate reporting.

Trump Attacks Fox News Over Steyer Coverage

President Donald Trump attacked Fox News on Wednesday for covering Democratic California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer, whom Trump called a “SLEAZEBAG” and “LOSER.” Trump posted on Truth Social that the network was “promoting” Steyer instead of focusing on Republican candidate Steve Hilton, whom Trump has endorsed to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom.

Trump’s complaint about Fox News coverage lacked factual grounding. His post came approximately 40 minutes after Fox News had already featured Hilton on air discussing his campaign with host Harris Faulkner. Fox News had not run a substantial segment on Steyer on Wednesday but instead mentioned him briefly in relation to his fundraising totals, policy positions, and polling performance against other candidates.

The president appeared to reference a graphic displayed during Hilton’s interview that showed Steyer’s five-point immigration plan while Faulkner discussed his anti-ICE agenda and $120 million spending on the race. Hilton used the airtime to criticize Steyer’s immigration positions as “far-left extremism” and an extension of what he characterized as Biden-era open borders policies.

Trump’s attack on Fox News reflects a pattern of hostility toward the network when coverage does not align precisely with his preferred narrative. Trump has previously attacked both Fox News and Steyer simultaneously, demonstrating a longstanding grievance with both the billionaire Democratic donor and the Republican-aligned outlet that regularly gives Trump platform access.

Trump’s criticism of Fox News contradicts his repeated beneficiary status from the network’s coverage. Despite claiming the channel promotes Democrats, Trump continues to receive favorable treatment and extensive airtime on Fox News programming while endorsing Republican candidates aligned with his political interests.

Trump Posts Another AI-Generated Image of Jesus

President Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image depicting Jesus Christ and himself standing side-by-side on Wednesday, with Jesus placing his arm around the president. The image included text suggesting God is “playing his Trump card” to expose “satanic, demonic, child sacrificing monsters,” language Trump used to mock opponents he labeled “Radical Left Lunatics.” This post came days after Trump deleted a previous AI image showing himself as Jesus healing a sick man, which drew fierce backlash even from Republican party members.

When initially confronted about the deleted image, Trump lied about its content, claiming he believed it depicted him as a “doctor” rather than acknowledging the religious comparison. He blamed “fake news” for the controversy surrounding the original post. Instead of accepting criticism, Trump escalated by posting the second image while explicitly mocking those who objected to his previous religious imagery.

Trump’s repeated posting of AI-generated religious content depicting himself alongside Jesus reflects his use of disinformation and inflammatory rhetoric to provoke his supporters and dismiss legitimate criticism. The caption text, invoking conspiracy theories about child sacrifice, demonstrates Trump’s willingness to amplify unfounded and dangerous narratives to justify his own behavior and attack his opponents.

Trump Deletes Jesus Image, Claims It Showed Him As Doctor

President Donald Trump deleted a Truth Social post featuring an AI-generated image depicting him as Jesus Christ, claiming the image was meant to show him as a doctor. Trump posted the image Sunday night after attacking Pope Leo XIV for criticizing U.S. military actions against Iran and Venezuela, showing himself in a white robe with a glowing hand healing a sick person, flanked by American flags and military aircraft.

When confronted by reporters at the White House, Trump denied the religious imagery interpretation, stating "I thought it was me as a doctor" related to Red Cross work and his claimed ability to make people better. Trump dismissed the backlash as "fake news" invention, insisting the image represented medical healing rather than religious symbolism.

Conservative Christian commentator Megan Basham called the image "OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy" and demanded Trump remove it and seek forgiveness from Americans and God. Former Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, once an ally of Trump, denounced the post on X, writing that Trump attacked the Pope on Orthodox Easter and then "posted this picture of himself as if he is replacing Jesus," declaring she would "completely denounce this and I'm praying against it."

Vice President JD Vance defended Trump's post as a joke the president recognized people misunderstood, characterizing Trump's unfiltered social media use as a positive attribute. This incident follows a May 2025 post where Trump shared an image of himself as a Catholic pope after Pope Francis's death, prompting the New York State Catholic Conference to condemn the image as unmock-worthy during the papal conclave.

Trump Attacks Former Ally Meloni After She Defends Pope

President Donald Trump denounced Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Tuesday, calling her “unacceptable” after she publicly criticized his attacks on Pope Leo XIV. In a phone interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, Trump accused Meloni of being a changed person and claimed he was “shocked by her,” stating “I thought she was brave, but I was wrong.” Trump’s reversal came after Meloni defended the Pope’s calls for peace, characterizing Trump’s words toward the pontiff as unacceptable.

Meloni’s statement defended the Pope’s role as head of the Catholic Church and his right to condemn war. Trump had previously attacked the Pope as “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” and reiterated his grievances by stating he did not want a Pope who criticizes his presidency, which he characterized as setting “Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History.” Trump then pivoted his criticism to Meloni, repeating her language and accusing her of indifference to Iran’s nuclear weapons capabilities, falsely claiming Iran could destroy Italy if given the opportunity.

Trump had previously praised Meloni during a visit to Mar-a-Lago, positioning her as a significant figure in European politics aligned with his agenda. Meloni, a right-wing populist, had begun distancing herself from Trump in recent weeks following domestic political setbacks linked to Trump’s rock-bottom approval ratings in Italy. She stated earlier in the month that “when we don’t agree, we must say it,” in response to being questioned about the Iran war.

Meloni had previously served as a bridge between Trump and the European Union, particularly regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and harder-line immigration policies. Her recent shift reflects her attempt to separate herself from Trump’s declining political standing domestically. Trump’s attack on Meloni demonstrates his pattern of abandoning allies who refuse absolute loyalty or who publicly diverge from his positions, revealing his transactional approach to international relationships.

Trump Posts Jesus-Like Picture of Himself Amid Pope Leo Feud

President Donald Trump posted an artificial intelligence-generated image depicting himself as Jesus Christ performing a miraculous healing on a sick man, complete with religious iconography including a glowing hand, American flags, the Statue of Liberty, fighter jets, and angelic soldiers. The image also featured a praying woman, a person in what appears to be an Immigration and Customs Enforcement uniform, and a nurse observing Trump’s supposed miracle work in a hospital setting.

Trump posted the image approximately 40 minutes after launching a hostile attack on Pope Leo XIV over the pontiff’s criticism of the Iran war. Trump branded the pope “WEAK” on crime and nuclear weapons, calling him “terrible” on foreign policy. Trump also attacked the pope’s brother, Louis Prevost, claiming he preferred him because Prevost was “all MAGA,” demonstrating Trump’s weaponization of family members to escalate conflicts.

The pope’s criticism stemmed from Trump’s threats to obliterate “a whole civilization” in Iran if its leadership refused to make a deal, which the pontiff called “truly unacceptable.” Pope Leo XIV subsequently declared that “God does not bless any conflict.” The pope had previously denounced the Trump administration’s “extremely disrespectful” treatment of undocumented immigrants, establishing a pattern of moral opposition to Trump’s policies.

When speaking to reporters at Air Force One on Sunday evening, Trump doubled down on his attacks, stating “We don’t like a pope that’s going to say it’s okay for Iran to have a nuclear weapon” and describing Pope Leo XIV as “a very liberal person” who “doesn’t believe in stopping crime.” Trump’s messaging contradicted the pope’s actual position on nuclear proliferation while mischaracterizing the pontiff’s humanitarian stances.

The AI-generated image and accompanying tirade reflect Trump’s pattern of appropriating religious imagery and language to reinforce a messianic narrative among his supporters, while simultaneously attacking religious figures who challenge his military and immigration policies. The juxtaposition of the image with the pope attack demonstrated Trump’s weaponization of faith rhetoric to delegitimize moral opposition to his authoritarian actions.

Trump Demands Fox News Take Jessica Tarlov off Air

President Donald Trump demanded Fox News remove co-host Jessica Tarlov from the air, calling her “a real loser” and criticizing her voice, statements, and overall presence on the network. Trump posted his demand on Truth Social, claiming Tarlov uses “fake numbers” and “fake polls” while expressing his dislike for her work, though he added he was “sure she’s a lovely person.”

Trump also targeted Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream, criticizing her interview with Democratic Representative Jake Auchincloss and instructing her to correct Democratic guests when they present what he calls “propaganda and lies.” The president objected to Bream’s characterization of the SAVE Act, insisting it be called the “SAVE America Act,” a distinction he emphasized as significant.

This marks a continued pattern of Trump attacking Fox News personalities who he perceives as insufficiently loyal or critical of his positions. In 2024, Trump accused Bream of conducting an “anti-MAGA” interview with his attorney, and he has repeatedly called Tarlov a “loser” in previous public statements, including during a March appearance on The Five when Tarlov was absent.

Trump’s demand reflects his expectation that media outlets, including Fox News, align with his messaging without independent editorial judgment or hosting of opposing viewpoints. His explicit instruction to “Fox executives” to remove Tarlov demonstrates an abuse of power, using his position as president to pressure media organizations into personnel decisions based on his personal preferences rather than journalistic merit.

Trump makes jab on Biden and Harris’ intelligence to children at Easter Egg Roll | The Independent

During the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday, April 6, Trump questioned the intelligence of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris while speaking to event attendees, including children. Trump referred to Harris as a “low-IQ person” and asked guests which of the two Democratic leaders had lower intelligence, framing the comparison as “probably the toughest question.”

Trump’s remarks at the family-oriented Easter event represented an abuse of power by using an official presidential function to demean political opponents in front of children. The incident demonstrates Trump’s pattern of making personal attacks rather than substantive policy critiques against Democratic leaders.

Trump Attacks Supreme Court at 1AM Over Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump, 79, posted a hostile message on Truth Social just before 1 a.m. ET on Monday, attacking the Supreme Court as it deliberates his executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship. Trump suggested the justices should have watched Fox News host Mark Levin’s program arguing the 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants, calling birthright citizenship a “money making HOAX” and demanding the Court use “COMMON SENSE FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY.”

Trump also criticized the Supreme Court’s past decisions on tariffs, claiming the justices “failed miserably” and cost the nation “Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in potential rebates,” warning them not to repeat such mistakes. He stated the country “can only withstand so many bad decisions from a Court that just doesn’t seem to care,” signaling his expectation that the justices should rule in his favor on the birthright citizenship case.

The rant followed Trump’s attendance at oral arguments on April 1, where he left early after the justices, including three he appointed, raised substantial skepticism about his administration’s constitutional arguments. Chief Justice John Roberts directly challenged Solicitor General D. John Sauer’s claim that the framers could not have foreseen modern circumstances, stating simply: “It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.” Justice Neil Gorsuch pressed whether Native American children should be denied birthright citizenship, exposing the order’s problematic scope.

Every lower federal court has struck down Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order as unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, explicitly grants citizenship to “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Trump’s late-night attack demonstrates his pattern of attempting to pressure and intimidate the judiciary when his legal arguments fail, disregarding institutional norms and constitutional independence that safeguard democratic governance.
