'Are you kidding me?' MS NOW goes off as Trump in-law accused of making 'skeevy' deals

06/26/26 3:54 PM

Reacting to reports that Michael Boulos, who is married to Donald Trump’s daughter Tiffany, is being included in meetings with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Middle East, MS NOW Host Stephanie Ruhle blurted, “Are you kidding me!?” and suggested something didn’t smell right.Bloomberg Opinion columnist and former Trump biographer Tim O’Brien agreed.“Michael Boulos, yes, I know you don't know this guy's name,” she began. “Rubio said he was just there to see me and to catch up. He also said that Boulos did not participate in any policy discussions. Are you kidding me? Okay, like, seriously? We are talking about a war, we're talking about peace negotiations, we're talking about meeting with international leaders and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Michael, just needed to catch on up with Marco Rubio? And this was the place to do it? How did he fly there? Who paid for that ticket?”“Let's put that meeting in context to the meeting with sheikhs,” O’Brien offered. “The UAE spymaster, a UAE power broker, a very wealthy man who invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the Trump family's crypto operations --.” "World Liberty Financial,” Ruhle helpfully pointed out. “The Trump White House lifted the sale of highly classified semiconductor chips to the UAE that the Biden administration had forbidden to be exported on national security grounds, because chips now are the stuff of military dominance, AI dominance and technology dominance, and they're valuable things to monitor,” he continued.“Marco Rubio is in this meeting with the same sheikh and he has Michael Boulos sitting there like a potted plant who has no foreign policy experience? I don't think has a security clearance,” he added. “Okay, he has been doing rather shifty things, according to the New York Times reporting around deals in the Middle East, also something hinky with a yacht sale to Jared Kushner, et cetera et cetera.”"The only thing Michael Boulos appears to bring to the table is a hunger to cut deals, some of which appear skeevy,” he claimed. “Why is he at the table? And then, when Michael Rubio was asked about it, he said I just thought it would be good for him to attend so he could watch me and hang out. — this is like Animal House.”“Animal House, was a silly movie about boys in a fraternity; this is a war,” Ruhle exclaimed. “This is our national freaking security.” - YouTube youtu.be

'Exile this guy': MAGA turns on Republican for breaking with Trump on Supreme Court ruling

06/25/26 5:10 PM

MAGA followers rebuffed Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) on Thursday after he spoke out against the Trump administration following a Supreme Court ruling that ended temporary protected status for Haitians and Syrians.Lawler wrote in a post on X that he thinks the situation in Haiti is a "humanitarian and political disaster and continues to warrant an extension.""While I have never disputed the ability of the President to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS), I strongly disagree with ending Haitian TPS at this time," Lawler wrote, adding that the immediate ending of this status would "create a crisis in our hospitals, nursing homes."Conservative social media users and MAGA supporters made their dissatisfaction with Lawler known."Two things can be true at the same time. We can sympathize with those who have to leave our great country but also understand that applying the skills and education they received here back in Haiti is the only hope of ever saving that nation," Julie Kelly, a MAGA-aligned political commentator and writer with more than 909,000 followers, wrote on X."I've said it before and I'll say it again. The worst GOP Congressman. He hurts our team more than a Democrat in his seat would. Vote him out-- yes, even in the general," Jeremy Carl, senior fellow at conservative think tank the Claremont Institute, wrote on X."They’ve been on this 'temporary' status for nearly 20 years," Real Political Data, a conservative political commentary account with more than 58,000 followers, wrote on X."Exile this guy to Haiti," conservative writer Paul Kersey wrote on X.I've said it before and I'll say it again.The worst GOP Congressman.

'Iran will no longer exist': Trump launches new bombing threat after fresh strikes

06/27/26 11:23 PM

President Donald Trump issued a stark threat against Iran on Saturday night, warning that the country could cease to exist if it continues attacking, as he announced a new round of U.S. strikes targeting Iranian military sites.In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said American aircraft had hit Iranian missile and drone storage locations along with coastal radar sites, accusing Tehran of breaching the ceasefire yet again."United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!" Trump wrote, adding an exasperated, "It is very possible that they will never learn!"The president then escalated to an explicit warning about the conflict's potential trajectory."There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started," Trump wrote. "If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!"The post came amid a rapidly deteriorating ceasefire, with U.S. and Iranian forces exchanging fire following attacks on commercial shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.In a separate post minutes earlier, Trump amplified a quote from adviser Stephen Miller attacking Democrats, linking to a Fox News video.

'It's incredible': CNN analysts stunned by 'enormous implications' of Trump crypto profits

07/01/26 1:06 AM

CNN analysts stressed the gravity of revelations of Trump's major profits from cryptocurrency.According to a New York Times report, the Trump family profited to the tune of $1.4 billion through their cryptocurrency business. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper described the revelations as "incredible" and "stunning" as he spoke with other analysts. According to the Times report, Trump reeled in more than $2.2 billion in total revenue in 2025."It really is hard to overstate just how unusual and how historic this is," New York Times investigative reporter Eric Lipton told Cooper.According to Lipton, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar bought half of the Trump family's crypto business. Lipton pointed out that the sons of Steve Witkoff, who was involved in negotiations with Iran, were also invested."We're talking about billions of dollars of financial ties between the UAE and the Trump family, at the same time as he is negotiating, sharing some of the most advanced technologies humans have ever created, and these AI chips with the UAE," Lipton explained. "There are enormous implications in foreign policy that are mixed up with the personal financial interests of the president."Veteran tech journalist Kara Swisher said the Trump administration is "a coin-operated presidency, really. You just put money in to give to him, and then he gives you other things, and this is exactly what's happening with the crypto stuff."She described the news of Trump's crypto profits as "astonishing," and mentioned that Trump's family is also profiting from a recent mining deal with Kazakhstan."It's a vig," Swisher said, using a loansharking term. "They go around from country to country shaking people down."

'Off the Richter scale': Presidential historian raises red flags about Trump mining deal

07/01/26 12:13 AM

A presidential historian is sounding the alarm about a recent mining deal that's expected to enrich the Trump family."The audacity is so off the Richter scale," Douglas Brinkley said about a deal between the Trump administration and Kazakhstan to access one of the world's largest untapped reserves of tungsten.The New York Times reported on the $1.6 billion tungsten mining deal with the Central Asian country. The Times noted that the sons of both Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stand to benefit. Tungsten is used in "missile warheads, fighter jets, computer chips, and other critical goods," the Times noted.Brinkley reacted to details of the deal as reported by the NY Times during an appearance on The Jim Acosta Show on Tuesday."People aren't sure what's even going on," Brinkley said. "You have to hope the law will eventually hold President Trump accountable if he did some things that are illegal and illicit, but the law moves slowly."Brinkley agreed with host Jim Acosta's assessment that Trump's self-enrichment during his second term is unprecedented."Just think, not that long ago, there was a scandal because Jimmy Carter's brother Billy had a beer, or you know, Neil Bush got involved with a bit of a hedge fund banking thing run a little bit amok," Brinkley said. "They're so small, and then this is such a huge wake-up call, people."The way Brinkley sees it, "you're having a president of the United States using the White House for personal self-enrichment of a kind of mind-boggling audacity," adding that "it's a crisis, but we've got to get through it."Read on Substack
