President Trump

3:30 PM PT -- President Trump spoke out on not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ... telling the media, "I'm happy because i saved millions of lives."

6:50 AM PT -- The Chairman of the Nobel Committee, Jørgen Watne Frydnes, has been asked whether Trump deserves the peace prize ... Frydnes said, "This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates, and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. We base only our decision on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel."

President Donald Trump fell short of winning the Nobel Peace Prize despite helping broker the recent Israeli-Hamas ceasefire deal and lobbying for the prestigious award with his Republican base.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee passed over Trump and handed the prize to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”

Trump's rep, Steven Cheung, blasted the decision, writing on X that “the Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace” by not recognizing Trump.

Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges many have viewed as an act of retribution by President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday.

The government figure was charged with making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, according to The New York Times.

Comey entered his plea at a federal court in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday. The judge who's overseeing the case has set a trial date for January 5, 2026.

The former FBI Director wasn't taken into custody after he entered his plea, and there won't be any conditions for his release. His lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald, stated he'll be filing a motion to dismiss the case prior to its scheduled start date.

Comey was indicted in September, and the charges both stem from his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020. He's been accused of lying about leaking confidential information to the media.

The prosecution will be led by Lindsey Halligan, who was selected by Trump to replace the former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia ... who had resigned in protest over being pressured to prosecute Comey.

Halligan's background is mostly in insurance law ... she joined Trump's personal legal team in 2022 after the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida. Halligan later started working in the White House as an aide in January 2025.

The Comey trial is estimated to take two to three days to complete. Fitzgerald said he's confident the case will be dismissed on motions he plans to file regarding vindictive prosecution, and Halligan's appointment, which he sees as wrongful.

A Chicago woman is in some serious crap -- literally -- after being caught on camera allegedly smearing dog feces on a Trump-themed Cybertruck.

John Evans, who was visiting the Windy City told FOX 32 he parked his Tesla Cybertruck Wednesday in the city's Northalsted neighborhood while in town for a conference. But when he came back, his patriotic, American flag wrapped truck -- complete with President Donald Trump's gold leaf signature across the tailgate -- was covered in poop.

"It's crazy that something like this upsets somebody so much that they decided, 'Oh, I'm going to ruin that person's day,'" Evans said. "Well, the shoe is on the other foot now."

Donald Trump took the stage Tuesday in front of U.S. generals and admirals from around the world, and in the middle of a bizarre, self-aggrandizing, and grievance-filled speech, he told the crowd there are actually 2 "N-words" that are off limits.

Trump bragged, attacked, and meandered during the address, but at one point he talked about the awesome power of the U.S. nuclear arsenal and addressed the concept of brinkmanship -- how he recently made it clear to Russia he had weapons that could obliterate a very large target.

Rory McIlroy and the rest of Team Europe taunted Donald Trump after their big Ryder Cup win over America ... but in surprising fashion, POTUS ended up taking the high road.

Just after Team USA couldn't complete its comeback against Europe on Sunday at Bethpage Black in New York ... McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and the rest of the Europeans sent a trolling message Trump's way.

In the video, the guys could be seen and heard chanting, "Are you watching? Are you watching? Are you watching, Donald Trump?" -- all while they raised their trophy with glee.

Ariana Grande's got some questions for people who voted for Donald Trump last year ... and, it all boils down to whether economic gains are worth everything else the administation's done.

The singer-songwriter reshared a post which asks people who voted for Trump if the president has delivered on a series of promises he made to improve the economy ... such as lowering insurance premiums and the price of groceries.

The post also asks if any of these economic changes are worth the suffering of immigrants and transgender people or attacks on free speech ... and, if the current climate is making them "happier."

Jimmy Kimmel ain't holding back after 'Live!' was reinstated on ABC ... taking to Instagram to mock President Donald Trump's escalator mishap at the United Nations General Assembly this week.

Check out Jimmy's post on his show's official Instagram Friday -- he shared a photo of his longtime sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez smiling down at him on an escalator and captioned it ... "Headed to Brooklyn! Escalator is working great!"

A Southern California-based dentist is under fire for making comments about giving different treatment to left-wing patients ... as if a visit to the dentist's office wasn't tough enough already.

A resurfaced video showing Dr. Harleen Grewal -- who's branded herself as the "MAGA Dentist" -- making controversial remarks during her appearance at the Republican Liberty Gala in 2021 has gone viral on social media, the Los Angeles Times reports. Although the video was taken down, it's since been reposted and reshared dozens of times.

She joked about reducing the flow of laughing gas on patients who appeared to disapprove of her political beliefs, and cracked wise about certain patients' reactions when they saw photos of Republican figures, including of President Donald Trump, in her office.

The resurfacing of the video resulted in more than 100 one-star reviews on the Yelp page of Skyline Smiles in Santa Clarita, California ... and the Instagram accounts for both MAGA Dentist and Skyline Smiles have since been disabled.

Dr. Grewal appeared to address the negative reaction to her comments in an op-ed for the Santa Clarita Valley Signal, where she claimed she was just joking when she made her comments at the gala.

The dentist also alleged an investigator from the California Dental Board had been sent to her office after an apparently fake claim about her being willing to "torture" patients with differing political beliefs was shared with the Board.

10:57 AM PT -- DHS has since taken down the video.

Theo also asked DHS to send him a check for using his likeness and to "please keep me out of your 'banger' deportation videos."

Dr. Oz is tempering President Trump's recent comments on Tylenol use among pregnant women and its possible links to Autism ... clarifying when acetaminophen should be used, and when it should be avoided.

Oz, who is Trump's Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and offered more clarity on a lot of what Trump said during a White House briefing.

Trump went hard on Tylenol and basically told pregnant mothers to never use it and to not give it to their babies ... but Dr. Oz told us there is one circumstance where Tylenol may be necessary.

Donald Trump gave an Oval Office address on Wednesday night lamenting the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk ... and warning that anyone involved with the political assassination would be brought to justice.

The president started his addresses by noting Charlie loved the country and was a deeply religious person who had a beautiful family ... before he turned his ire on liberals who he accused of creating violence with hateful rhetoric.

Calling him a "Martyr for Freedom" ... Trump said he lived and died for the values that are the bedrock of America, including free speech and the rule of law.

Donald Trump isn’t holding back on the man accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a North Carolina train, he’s demanding the ultimate punishment -- death.

On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social saying there’s no doubt suspected killer Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. deserves a speedy trial resulting in the death penalty -- 'cause there’s no excuse for taking the life of Iryna, an innocent woman who came to America seeking peace and safety.

Trump made sure to hammer home "the death penalty" in capital letters, making it loud and clear he’s serious about the consequences Decarlos should face.

Try as Trump may, Epstein won't go away. And how much is the NFL gonna lean into the Taylor/Travis engagement? So we gotta ask ...

Kim Kardashian doesn't understand the government's immigration policy, and she's actually doing the bidding of criminals ... according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin went after the reality star, telling TMZ ... "Ms. Kardashian is misinformed and detached from the very reality of the operations in Los Angeles she has decided to opine on. These are the violent criminals who Homeland Security, under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, have removed from Los Angeles’s streets: murderers, rapists, gang members and child pedophiles."

McLaughlin then asks ... "Why does Ms. Kardashian continue to do the bidding of criminals at the expense of innocent Americans and brave law enforcement?"
