The View Host Attacks Trump’s Mental Health – ‘Belongs in Padded Room’

On Thursday, “The View” co-host Ana Navarro claimed that President Donald Trump “should be in a padded room.” That’s a rich statement coming from the likes of her!

Navarro declared, “Look, you know, if they’re saying that this was all strategic, then he is a sadist because what kind of government leader puts his people through this kind of distress and sadness and anxiety for a week just for giggles? His supporters always say that he plays fourth-dimensional chess. I think he should be in a padded room playing with his own drool.”

“The things he does are just simply lunacy, and we’re not out of this,” she continued. “We’re not out of it by any means. Let’s remember, as we sit here, there are 10% tariffs on everything. There’s a 125% tariff on China. There’s reciprocal tariffs from China. Let’s not underestimate the result on consumer confidence of the havoc he has wreaked for the last 11 weeks. We have antagonized our allies yet again, and to me this is very much — this reminds me of what’s happening with DOGE as well.”

Navarro added, “There’s so many things that could be done with a scalpel and that people would say, this is a good idea. But, no. Like with DOGE, they go in there with a wrecking ball and, you know, just having absolutely no second thought about the consequences and we don’t know. Listen, the bottom line is I think people are hunkering down, not going to be spending as much. Tourists aren’t coming to America. The things we need for our major industry, they have tariffs on. People, I think, are, you know, have trauma from what we have endured these last 11 weeks, and this is not going away because he’s putting a 90-day pause on it.”

Crazed Crockett Demands Evaluation on Trump ‘Mental Acuity’

Known for her outbursts and crazy rants, Rep. Jasmine Crockett is the last person I would expect to call for President Donald Trump’s mental acuity to be questioned. Yet, here we are.

On Thursday, Crockett appeared on MSNBC’s “All In” and made the claim that it is “beyond wild” that no one has questioned Trump’s “mental acuity or fitness to serve.”

Crockett declared, “When we start to talk about these tariffs, these tariffs are not limited to any one type of people. It’s not limited to Democrats, Republicans or Independents. It’s not limited to urban or rural. We know for a fact if we look back just at his last administration, what it did to the soybean farmers, right. And we ultimately ended up having to give them money to supplant the fact that they lost so much money. But this crazy tariff war that nobody asked for, where he basically is invoking emergency powers, the same thing that he did under the Alien Enemies Act.”

She continued, “Like the fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right? Like the fact that they sat around called Joe Biden sleepy Joe Biden. and as I said before, at least you could sleep at night because you didn’t have to worry about your 401K disappearing overnight. You didn’t have to worry about these allegations of fake invasions. You didn’t have to worry about the cost of food just skyrocketing or the skyrocketing cost of all of your electronics.”

The Texas Democrat added, “So, you know, I just hope that people remember because seemingly they got amnesia the first time. And so you’ve got opportunities to vote. And I will tell you that every single special election we’ve had, Democrats are swinging no less than 15 points. But honestly, we should be swinging 30 and 40 points because of the level of incompetence and harm that this administration is bringing upon all of us.”

Schiff Claims GOP Will Drop Trump ‘Like Rats Off a Sinking Ship’ if Tariffs Continue

On Thursday, Senator Adam Schiff appeared on MSNBC’s “Deadline” and claiming that the GOP will “abandon” President Donald Trump “like rats off a sinking ship” if he continues to impose tariffs.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace asked, “I mean, the other thing that’s happened is Donald Trump’s approval rating has plunged. He’s at 41% overall approval and down to 40% on the economy. The tariffs are lower than that. When do you think Republicans will reassert themselves as elected officials?”

Schiff replied, “Well, had he continued, and if he does continue along this tariff, destroy our economy, this self-inflicted wound to our economy, Republicans are going to abandon him like rats off a sinking ship. It’s unsustainable. You already saw Republicans start to abandon him. We brought up a resolution, Tim Kaine did, got four Republican votes, enough to get it passed in the Senate to try to stop these destructive tariffs on Canada.”

“That was Republicans not just speaking privately, not just speaking publicly, but actually voting against the president,” he continued. “And you’re going to see more and more of that, the more destruction he brings to our economy. Just watching this display in the administration, as the president’s aides were out there after this latest flip-flop, saying it wasn’t a flip-flop, it was — it was planned that way. You know, you’re just not smart enough to see the president’s brilliant strategy, his art of the deal.”

Trump Takeover: Kennedy Center Breaks Attendance Record for a Public Event

0

In March, the Kennedy Center created a new all-time attendance record for a public event, even with being boycotted by the Democrats since President Donald Trump’s was elected for the second time.

The public event that broke the attendance record was the Kennedy Center’s “EARTH to SPACE: Arts Breaking the Sky” fireworks show, which drew more than 11,000 attendees.

The Daily Caller reports:

The history-making moment was celebrated amid a flurry of criticism from liberals about President Donald Trump’s takeover of the entertainment facility. Critics voiced concerns about Trump’s understanding and appreciation for the arts when he took control of the Kennedy Center. However, attendance numbers have told a different story. With a focus on shifting away from politically-charged programming, the facility experienced tremendous success with a widely-attended fireworks show.

A Kennedy Center representative noted that 76% of all attendees at the fireworks show had never stepped foot in the venue before. The event was open to the public, with free first-come, first-served tickets available on the Kennedy Center website.

Visitors took in the show on the 360-degree rooftop terrace and flocked to the riverwalk to take in the magic of art as the fireworks filled the skies above the Potomac River. The first 800 visitors were treated to a VIP experience by having the opportunity to send an individual firework into the sky through the cAITM — Cai Guo-Qiang’s custom AI model — web interface.

As far as future shows, Roma Daravi, VP of PR for the Kennedy Center revealed that the center will be offering similar programs in the future.

“It was wonderful to have so many new visitors at the Kennedy Center for Cai Guo-Qiang’s firework showcase. We look forward to their return for more wonderful programming soon. Everyone is welcome here!” Daravi exclaimed.

BREAKING! Hegseth Breaks Down $5B in Wasteful DOD Spending Uncovered by DOGE

On Thursday, Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo to announce the Trump administration’s cutting of over $5 billion in “wasteful Defense Department contracts.”

The memorandum lists some of the cuts, which includes: $1.8 billion in consulting contracts to various private sector firms from the Defense Health Agency, $1.4 billion enterprise cloud IT services contract given to a software reseller, and a $500 million Navy contract for business process consulting.

“We’re also terminating in the DEI front 11 more contracts for DEI, climate, COVID-19 response and related non-essential activities across the department,” Hegseth explained. “We are committed to rooting out DEI — root and branch — throughout this department … [And] I’m going to keep looking,” 

As the DOD website reports:

He also announced cuts on the academic front, saying that DOD would be pausing over $500 million in funding to a pair of universities that “tolerate antisemitism and support divisive DEI programs.” This is in addition to the $70 million already cut in funding at three other colleges in the past weeks.

Today’s announcement follows Hegseth’s initial March 20, 2025, announcement that the department would be cutting $580 million in programs, contracts and grants.

“If you’re keeping score at home, today’s cuts bring our running total to nearly $6 billion in wasteful spending over the first six weeks of the Department of Government Efficiency effort here at the Defense Department,” Hegseth continued.

Not only did the secretary note the cutting of wasteful spending, but he also stressed just how important it is to take care of our United States veterans and their families. He declared, “We need this money to spend on better healthcare for our war fighters and their families instead of $500/hr business process consulting.”

This comes as a result of the DOD DOGE efforts to root out waste and “drive that back into war-fighting capabilities here at the Defense Department.”

Hegseth first announced that DOGE would be working within DOD during a recorded, on-camera address he made Feb. 20, 2025, regarding cutting excess and refocusing the department’s budget.

“We’re excited to make these cuts on behalf of you, the taxpayer and the warfighters here at the department,” he concluded.

Wall St Icon Thanks Trump for Helping Him When He was a ‘Nobody’

0

Vincent Molinari, the Founder and CEO of FINTECH.TV, sat down with Eric Trump for an interview and took a moment to first thank President Donald Trump for helping him when he was just a start up business.

“I’d love to give your dad a shoutout,” he told Eric before turning his attention to the camera to address Trump.

“Mr. President, in 1998, at Burlington Capital – 59th floor of 40 Wall Street – nobody believed in me,” Molinari recalled. “I was an entrepreneurial kid from Queens New York [with] no balance sheet, and you backed me.”

The Wall Street icon continued, “You gave Joe De Sena – now Spartan Races Joe – the shot and that propelled me [and] my family, created an entrepreneurial company that we are able to exit, and really was the epitome of you believing in entrepreneurs [and] giving the little guy a chance.”

Molinari added, “I always wanted to say ‘thank you,’ so thank you. Thank you from my family, and so many other entrepreneurs who I know you quietly have helped over the years.”

Trump saw the interview, and appears to be touched, as he shared the clip on Truth Social and replied, “Thank you, Vince Molinari. Congratulations on all of your success.”

Trump Claps Back at China’s Pathetic Retaliation Tariff Play

China wants to play hard ball with the big boys, but they do not realize what they are getting themselves into. For far too long they have been allowed to bully the world trade market. However, with President Donald Trump back in the game, that is no longer going to fly.

On Wednesday, China announced that they were raising their 34% tariffs on U.S. goods to a whopping 84% tariff.

Trump’s response? Classy, just as you’d expect. He posted to X that he is “hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately.”

Trump wrote, “Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.”

He continued, “Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately.”

Classic display of “play dumb games, win dumb prizes.”

Treasury Secretary Bessent Brushes Off Chinese Tariffs: ‘So What?’

On Wednesday morning, Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed China’s announcement on plans to raise tariffs on the United States, noting that their exports to us are five times greater than what the U.S. exports to China.

Despite China’s vow to “fight to the end” in retaliation tariffs, Bessent said in an interview with Fox Business, “I think it’s unfortunate that the Chinese actually don’t want to come and negotiate, because they are the worst offenders in the international trading system.”

“Their exports to the U.S. are five times our exports to China,” he continued. “They can raise their tariffs, but so what?”

Newsmax reports:

Beijing also added an array of countermeasures after Trump raised the total tariff on imports from China to 104%. China said it was launching an additional suit against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization and placed further restrictions on American companies’ trade with Chinese companies.

Bessent also downplayed “swings in the bond market.”

Bessent stated, “I believe there is nothing systemic about this,” noting that it is “uncomfortable but normal deleveraging,” according to New York Times correspondent Tony Romm.

Schumer Touts ‘Taking Tariff Authority’ from Trump (WATCH)

On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appeared on CNN’s “The Source” and made the laughable claim that he is considering “taking” tariff authority from President Donald Trump. When asked whether Democrats should have reclaimed congressional tariffs when they were the majority under the Biden administration, Schumer replied, “Congress has always had the power to deal with tariffs, and we’ve always had these fights in the past on some of the tariff issues as well. But now that Trump is going so overboard, Congress can, has every legal authority to take those powers back, and that’s what we aim to do.”

CNN host Brianna Keilar inquired, “On the tariff issue, you’ve been in the Senate for more than a quarter-century, and, in that time, Congress has been really willing to delegate tariff power to the president. Should Democrats have reclaimed that power when they had last — the majority? You saw what Trump did in his first term with tariffs.

Schumer replied, “Well, yeah, but we were able to beat back a lot of what Trump did on tariffs. And nothing is as extensive as this is, over 180 countries affected. Hey, this has been so carelessly done that they’re even taxing — they’re putting tariffs on penguins. There are two islands near Australia –.”

Keilar butts in, “I hear what you’re saying, the tariffs are extraordinary now compared to what they were in his first term. But what he did in his first term was also pretty extraordinary. Should Democrats have protected against this?”

Schumer answered, “Congress has always had the power to deal with tariffs, and we’ve always had these fights in the past on some of the tariff issues as well. But now that Trump is going so overboard, Congress can, has every legal authority to take those powers back, and that’s what we aim to do. And we hope our colleagues in the Republican Party, knowing how bad this is, instead of just trembling in their boots because they’re afraid of Trump, join with us and side with the American people.”
