She went on ... "I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes. What I said was pretty damn factual, and I'm free to have an opinion, of course."

Speaking to his supporters, DT says ... "I've also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration -- including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries."

She also noted she doesn't support the narrative that people were pairing with the campaign, stating ... "Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true."

Woody Allen's lost tons of supporters over the past few years ... but Scarlett Johansson's sticking by the beleaguered filmmaker.
The actress spoke about her connection to the director in a new interview with The Telegraph and said she wasn't sure how deep the "domino effect" of her willingness to work with Allen really ran.
However, Johansson said her mother had raised her to believe in herself and to stand up for what she believes in -- including working with Allen.
In case you needed a refresher, Allen's adopted daughter Dylan Farrow accused him of sexually abusing her when she was a child ... and her allegations gained further traction when the #MeToo movement gained steam in the late 2010s, leading several figures in Hollywood to distance themselves from the filmmaker. He's denied all the allegations, and he's never been charged with any crimes.
Johansson said she's learned about the importance of knowing when it was appropriate to speak out about touchy topics and when to hold off.
She also said she didn't want to encourage anyone to "silence" themselves when dealing with tough issues, and noted she's grown more comfortable with waiting for the right time to address a hot-button topic.
FYI ... Johansson and Allen have worked together on three movies -- namely "Match Point," "Scoop," and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," which were released in 2005, 2006, and 2008, respectively.
Johansson previously addressed her connection to Allen in a 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, when she said she had "love" for the director and "would work with him anytime."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz didn’t waste a second clapping back after Donald Trump hurled an ugly slur his way -- firing off a simple, deadly one-liner that landed hard.
In an X post Friday, Walz fired back with, "Release the MRI results" -- a shot aimed at Trump, who’d just hopped on Truth Social late Thanksgiving night to unload a marathon immigration rant ... taking swipes at Minnesota’s Somali community and tossing the nasty r-slur at Walz.
Walz hit back by poking at Trump’s own health mystery -- that hush-hush MRI he reportedly got during an October stop at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Andrew Tate set up his ex-girlfriend by filing a false police report against her in Dubai, leading to her being held in the Middle Eastern city for more than a month ... according to her new lawsuit.
Bri Stern claims Tate -- the controversial poster boy for toxic masculinity -- went to cops in Dubai back in June and accused her of publicly posting false statements about him ... which would be a crime under U.A.E. laws, meaning anyone under investigation can't leave the country.
This, according to Bri, was the setup or "honeypot trap," because as a model she travels to Dubai frequently ... something Tate knows very well. So, cut to September 27, when Bri indeed touched down in Dubai for work. She says everything was fine until she tried to leave on October 12.

And, on his back, is a huge black tattoo ... with a lighthouse rising from the waves, topless mermaids framing the scene and the word "aretê" -- an ancient Greek word that literally means "fulfillment" and "virtue '-- squarely between his shoulder blades
President Donald Trump is now insisting he didn't threaten any members of Congress with death ... but, he does think they're in hot water.
The 47th president discussed his controversial comments in an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade Friday morning ... telling Brian that in the past those pols might've been on their way to the gallows.
That said, Trump adds, the senators and reps should be in big trouble ... because he says he certainly would be if he made the same comments with a Democrat in the Oval Office.
1:20 PM PT -- A Coast Guard official responded to The Washington Post'sreport on the service's official X account Thursday afternoon, denying the details.
Acting Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, Admiral Kevin Lunday, posted ... “The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false. These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy. Any display, use or promotion of such symbols, as always, will be thoroughly investigated and severely punished. The Coast Guard remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering a safe, respectful and professional workplace. Symbols such as swastikas, nooses and other extremist or racist imagery violate our core values and are treated with the seriousness they warrant under current policy."
Seismic change is in the works at the U.S. Coast Guard ... the military service branch just drafted a new policy that no longer classifies swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
Instead, the Coast Guard will consider the swastika -- long the symbol of Nazis and forever linked to the Holocaust -- as "potentially divisive" ... according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
The sweeping changes go into effect next month ... when the noose and the Confederate flag will also be downgraded from hateful to potentially divisive.
