Donald Trump ain't screaming "fore" to give Bruce Springsteen a heads-up about his drive ... sharing an edited clip on social media where it appears he's hitting the singer with a golf ball.

The President of the United States shared a clip to Truth Social and X Wednesday ... kicking off with him taking a hack at a golf ball.

Nancy Mace shared a photo she claims shows her naked body in Congress ... right before accusing her ex of heinous crimes.

The congresswoman from South Carolina brought out an enlarged screengrab with a yellow circle around a silhouette during a House Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation Subcommittee meeting Tuesday about privacy and secret cameras.

Representative Mace explained she brought the image because she claims it's an example of the many photos and videos her ex-fiancé Patrick Bryant allegedly took of her without her consent.

Donald Trump returned from his tour of the Middle East Friday with some investment pledges secured in Saudi Arabia and Qatar ... but D.L. Hughley is less than impressed with the transactional deals.

TMZ caught up with the comedian on "TMZ Live" Tuesday ... and he slammed Trump's shift in foreign policy, which he says focuses on rewarding whoever "gives [him] a jet or builds [him] a hotel" rather than on shared values.

Notably, Qatar offered an estimated $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet to 47 ahead of his visit, to be used as Air Force One ... which Qatar’s prime minister has since denied was an act of bribery. The gift is a violation of the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which forbids American officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments and individuals without Congressional consent -- and it's still unclear whether the plane will be accepted.

Barack Obama's name is finding its way into the Diddy trial ... because Diddy's former personal assistant says his boss used to take ecstasy pills shaped like Obama's mug.

David James, who worked for Bad Boy from 2007 to 2009, testified for the prosecution Tuesday and told the jury he saw Diddy with a bunch of different pills, including one with a very specific feature.

James said one of the pills was ecstasy in the shape of a former president's face ... and when prosecutor Christy Slavik asked him straight up, "Which former president?," James responded, "Barack Obama."

Cher is using her starpower for the good of Los Angeles' beloved zoo elephants Tina and Billy again ... signing a letter sent to Mayor Karen Bass to demand the beloved creatures be transferred from the L.A. Zoo to a sanctuary -- and not to the Tulsa, Oklahoma zoo as planned.

Cher appears on the list signed by several celebs -- such as Alicia Silverstone, Diane Warren, Katherine Heigl, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Justin Theroux -- that was delivered to L.A.'s mayor Monday to advocate for the health and well-being of the zoo's longtime resident elephants.

The letter argues the arranged transfer of Billy and Tina to Tulsa to join five other Asian elephants will only worsen their suffering, and that they deserve to be released to a proper elephant sanctuary so they can "live their twilight years with liberty and dignity."

During the wide-ranging discussion, Bartiromo addressed Epstein near the end of the 30-minute chat — telling Patel, "You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it."

On Friday he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone."

But get this … Tonia says Oddi does feel somewhat relaxed and protected in jail because he’s far away from Diddy, who is currently on trial in NYC for racketeering, sex trafficking and other federal crimes -- sitting in his own jail cell in Brooklyn.

Bill Maher made a point Friday night that should make most of us uncomfortable ... we can like something until the people we dislike like it as well, and then we hate it!

The 'Real Time' host gave a slew of examples ... Democrat liberals LOVED them some electric cars -- especially Teslas -- until Elon Musk embraced Donald Trump. Suddenly, Teslas were catching fire ... but not the good "fire" ... they were being torched by anti-Trumpers. And MAGA -- which hated electric cars -- embraced the Cybertruck like it was a Ford 150.

And here's a good one ... the left scoffed at Marjorie Taylor Greene when she said Catholic Bishops are controlled by Satan, but back in the day, when Sinead O'Connor tore up a pic of the Pope on 'SNL' ... liberals celebrated it.

Audio from former President Joe Biden's interview in a damning special counsel report about his memory struggles is now out in the ether ... and it further shows Biden's memory lapses.

Axios just released a portion of Biden's interview with former special counsel Robert Hur ... the clip is from a since-shuttered investigation into BIden's handling of classified documents, in which Hur concluded Biden was a "well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."

When the First Daughter checked out the champs' digs with her son's flag football team ... she made sure to give Ricks a friendly wink by penning a cute note and leaving it on his locker.
