A 16-year-old California lifeguard is being invited to the White House ... President Trump plans to honor the teen who saved a young swimmer from pounding waves in a daring ocean rescue captured on video.
The teen lifeguard was on duty at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz County over the weekend when a 10-year-old boy was struggling in some high surf ... he rushed in to help bring the boy back to safety, and it caught Trump's attention.
POTUS said Tuesday he'll invite the lifeguard and his family to D.C. to present him with a "High Civilian Honor."
Trump also said he might even invite the boy who was rescued.
President Trump says E. Jean Carroll pulled a $5.6 million "bait-and-switch" ... claiming she promised to park his payout somewhere safe before moving it into a personal investment account.
In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Trump says Carroll's attorney assured the court the money would be placed in an "interest-bearing account" after it left judicial control.
Trump claims the tune changed once Carroll got the cash ... with her legal team later revealing the funds were being held in a personal investment account for her retirement.
Kaitlan Collins appears to be brushing off President Donald Trump's "tribute" to her ... posting a pointed quote on social media just hours after he took aim at her during the rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The CNN Chief White House Correspondent shared a post to her Instagram following the event Saturday with photos of her and longtime CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on the carpet ... adding a not-so-subtle Eleanor Roosevelt quote which read, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
The post came less than a day after Trump singled Collins out while speaking at Friday night's event at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C.
Nick Fuentes and Hunter Biden's debate got heated around issues of race relations ... with the far-right commentator arguing white people didn't blow up after Charlie Kirk's death like Black people did after MLK's.
Clips from the pair's conversation are going viral on social media ... including one in which Fuentes -- who has been described by the Anti-Defamation League and even Encyclopedia Britannica as a white supremacist, though he rejects the label -- argued white people moving to the suburbs coincided with dangerous race riots in America during the late 1960s.
Biden didn't argue for the violence, but he injected some nuance into the debate ... mentioning the anger and frustration which caused the violence came from generations-long disrespect and oppression of the Black community.

President Donald Trump sent some love to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy as he joked during his White House Correspondents' Dinner speech Friday night, but Peter didn't get the chance to answer a question the Prez asked him .... until now.
Check it out ... TMZ D.C.'s Charlie Cotton caught up with the senior White House correspondent after the dinner and brought up Trump calling him out during his speech. Charlie pointed to the moment Trump asked PD who the "most transparent president ever" is.
During the dinner, Peter asked Trump if he should stand up to answer the question, but the moment fell flat because Peter didn't have access to a microphone. No one would've heard his response.
Well, TMZ DC to the rescue ... 'cause Charlie had a mic ready for Doocy's witty response -- and, while he didn't answer it squarely, Peter sarcastically harkened back to the moment a different prez called him "stupid," but with more colorful language.
President Donald Trump couldn't duck these two words -- Jeffrey Epstein -- at Friday night's White House Correspondents' Dinner -- and it made for a seriously awkward moment.

Trump just smiled and shrugged his shoulders after Blitzer told the crowd the prez had filed a $20 billion lawsuit against The Journal, which included the home address of Khadeeja Safdar -- one of the reporters on the groundbreaking story.
President Donald Trump has a message for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who are entangled in another international legal mess ... smell ya later, bros.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the media Thursday that Trump has no plans to intervene while the Tates await extradition to the United Kingdom after they were arrested in Florida on charges of rape, sex trafficking and pornography.
During the White House press briefing, Leavitt quickly throws cold water on the rumor that Trump is the super misogynistic influencers' knight in shining golf attire.
Pete Hegseth testified before a Senate committee Tuesday afternoon over the escalating war with Iran ... but it was stop and go ... because anti-war demonstrators kept interrupting.
Check the video ... the Secretary of War is trying to discuss the ongoing war in hopes of securing President Trump's request for $67 billion to help cover the cost of the conflict ... but it quickly turns into a circus.
One by one, protestors stand up in the chamber and hold up anti-war banner ... yelling and screaming and forcing Hegseth to pause his testimony.
There are at least four interruptions ... and Hegseth looks ticked off.
Melania Trump's asking the court to sanction journalist Michael Wolff and his attorney ... claiming he tried to manipulate the legal system with his lawsuit against her.
Michael previously sued Melania ... claiming she threatened to take legal action against him over statements he made linking her to Jeffrey Epstein.
The First Lady of the United States filed the request Tuesday ... telling the court that Michael and his lawyer presented allegations without any evidence and used federal filings for improper purposes.
Melania says Michael falsely claimed she had a close association with Epstein.
She claims Michael defamed her ... and says her team sent a letter demanding he stop spreading the claims ... but -- instead of responding to her -- she says he sued her as a form of harassment.
JD Vance and wife Usha Vance welcomed their fourth child over the weekend ... and naturally, Donald Trump made the moment about himself ... sharing the first photo of the newborn.
Trump gave the world the first look at baby Alec Neel ... posting the newborn on his Truth Social account and calling the kid "a perfect baby boy."
POTUS is the first one to share a photo of baby Alec ... not his parents.
Neither the Vice President nor Second Lady is in the pic ... it's just Alec and two of his older siblings sitting on some furniture in a hospital room.
President Trump's teleprompter operator allegedly turned the commander in chief's speeches into his own personal jackpot ... raking in more than $100,000 by betting on what Trump would say before he said it.
Gabriel Perez -- Trump's longtime teleprompter operator -- is in settlement talks with federal regulators after investigators found he allegedly used his advance knowledge of POTUS' remarks to place winning bets on prediction market Kalshi, according to an ABC News report.
The wagers reportedly centered on whether Trump would mention certain words, phrases, or topics during public speeches ... with Perez allegedly betting on more than a dozen appearances over a three-month stretch, including the State of the Union and Trump's address at the World Economic Forum.
As the guy with some of the final eyes on Trump's scripts -- and access to last-minute edits from POTUS himself -- Perez seemingly had one hell of an inside edge.

Joe's reaction comes first and fast -- "Hit the brakes! Hit the brakes!" -- before Vance jokes the situation might call for some of the psychedelics they discussed during his last visit to the podcast.
