LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Republican headliner JD Vance lied to a crowd in Council Bluffs, Iowa, today, telling them that Trump banned Wall Street from buying up everyone's homes.
FACT: Donald Trump refused to sign the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, so it became law WITHOUT his signature on July 11, 2026.

What folks miss is MAGA doesn't care if people think Trump cheated for the 1900th time. What worries is the image of an 80 yr old man wildly dependent on a clincially fangirlish 30-something who he appears to use as a kind of human emotional support blanket as his faculties & political power fade.

Just remembered one of my favorite Twitter exchanges, where a MAGA troll (a woman) said "Well, I bet Trump has had sex with a lot more women than you have, loser!"
And I replied, "I'm sure he has! Unlike him, I've actually been faithful to the same woman for nearly three decades now."
And I replied, "I'm sure he has! Unlike him, I've actually been faithful to the same woman for nearly three decades now."
Right, MAGA takes Trump's infidelities as a sign that he's a real macho alpha male. Harp being another mistress wouldn't cause a problem at all. They'd probably applaud him for it.
But if Harp is there to cater to a feeble old narcissist who's too fragile to handle the news? Oof.
