Pete Hegseth Is Toast And The White House Knows It

The Trump administration is desperately trying to convince Americans that Pete Hegseth is NOT the person who ordered the second strike on the wreckage of a bombed boat in the ocean back in September, but no one is buying it. The situation has grown so bad for the Trump administration that even Republicans in the House and Senate are demanding investigations into what actually took place out there. At this point, it makes no sense for Trump to stand with the scandal-plagued Hegseth, and he should just cut his losses.

According to new reports, Donald Trump instructed the crews working on his new White House ballroom to IGNORE all codes and laws that they are required to follow for any construction project. This new information comes just weeks after Trump fired the entire board of the Commission on Fine Arts that gets to make final determinations on projects involving historic landmarks and properties. Trump is going to half-ass the project to the point where the next President will have little choice but to tear it down.

Donald Trump's lies about the economy - and his plans to fix it - are so ridiculous that even Republican lawmakers aren't buying into it anymore. Between his denials that anything is wrong, Trump has suggested "fixes" for the things he says aren't broken that include checks totaling thousands of dollars for every American and 50-year mortgages that would cause people to spend triple what they normally would on a home while locking them into debt for their entire lives. These plans are not only dumb, they are dangerous, and Republicans aren't happy with what's coming from Trump.

Everything in Donald Trump's life is falling apart right now. From his cabinet to his approval rating to the economy and even his businesses - nothing is going well for him. To make things worse, more and more cracks are beginning to form in his Republican coalition as they attack one another, and him, over everything. Things could not be going worse for the President and his Party.

Donald Trump has been hit with a lawsuit from a group of plaintiffs alleging that he ran a trafficking operation that they describe as "identical" to that of Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit also says that Elon Musk and Bill Gates were a part of it, too. While this certainly sounds like an enormous bombshell, the truth is likely far less interesting - There is nothing in the suit that even comes close to being believable, and this lawsuit could end up helping Trump rather than hurting him.

Multiple Republican insiders and strategists spoke to The Hill this week, warning that their party was about to suffer a massive series of losses in 2026, which will culminate in the midterm elections. They said that the growing discontent of the American voters is going to be taken out on the incumbent Party, and there's not a whole lot that they can do to stop this from happening.
