President Trump

Justin Gaethje swapped the Octagon for a podium Wednesday -- and he didn't hold back!

The UFC lightweight champ showed up, suit and all, for the 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas ... and delivered a passionate, fighting-themed speech about hitting the polls on November 3.

"In fighting, your last fight is how people remember you, but your next fight is the only one that matters," Gaethje said.

Jimmy Kimmel is blaming President Trump for getting his TV interview with James Talarico spiked, claiming the commander-in-chief sicced the Federal Communications Commission on his bosses.

That's right ... Jimmy went to town on the prez during his monologue for Wednesday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," kicking things off by saying that he was supposed to interview Talarico -- a Democrat running for a Senate seat in Texas -- on his Thursday broadcast ... but it won't air on TV because of alleged threats from Trump's FCC.

Jimmy also explained that for the 20-plus years he's been doing his show, he has interviewed many politicians, including Hillary Clinton and Trump, "with no problem at all."

President Donald Trump made another eyebrow-raising promise to Americans ... vote for the GOP in the midterms, and get $5,000 if Republicans remain in power ... and of COURSE he named this wild idea after himself.

Trump told a crowd at the GOP convention in Dallas, Texas ... "If the Republicans win, you win with us and you get $5,000. It will be called the Trump Dividend."

Despite Trump saying the payments were due to the country's "success economically," the thing is ... this would more than likely cost the country more than $1 trillion, according to AP.

President Donald Trump's nephew says he doesn't believe the stories his uncle is telling ahead of 9/11's 25th anniversary ... insisting Trump never sent workers to help in the aftermath of the attack and that his U.S. steel story is a total fabrication.

Fred Trump took to social media on Tuesday to address claims President Trump has pushed in the days before September 11 ... starting with his assertion that he sent many workers to help at Ground Zero after the attack.

Fred says the claim that President Trump brought workers to help at the site "so offends me that I need to speak out." He denies the idea that President Trump was building a skyscraper in Manhattan at the time -- the Trump World Tower opened months before the attack.

Natalie Harp's devotion to President Donald Trump is paying off big time ... she and 2 other aides received $45,000 in cash gifts from the commander-in-chief.

Natalie and a pair of female aides reported Trump's "cash gifts for the holidays" in financial disclosure forms released by the White House ... according to CNN.

The disclosure forms also revealed Natalie and the other aides -- Chamberlain Harris, deputy director of Oval Office operations, and Margo Martin, a communications adviser -- each rake in $150,000 a year.

Donald Trump is telling an "absolutely disgusting" lie about where he was on 9/11 ... so says California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Here's the deal ... at an event honoring 9/11 emergency responders on Tuesday, POTUS repeated a story he's told about his own experience on New York City's dark day.

According to DJT ... he was at the U.S. Steel Building -- about a quarter-mile from Ground Zero -- on 9/11. He says two firefighters picked him up outside the building and ran him away from the area, which the president joked repeatedly is no easy task given his size.

The Secret Service agent accused of beating his meat in a Miami hotel hallway has prosecutors hunting for one potentially key piece of evidence ... surveillance video.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors asked a judge last month to delay John Spillman's trial, saying they still needed some additional time for "essential discovery" -- including CCTV footage.

As TMZ previously reported ... Spillman was arrested in May after hotel guests told investigators he followed them from the lobby of the DoubleTree near Miami International Airport before allegedly exposing himself and masturbating outside their room.

10:59 AM PT -- A White House official tells TMZ ... "This is a state case. Presidential pardons apply only to federal convictions."

Lindsay Clancy's lawyer Kevin Reddington is trying to bring in the big guns to get his client pardoned after she allegedly killed her 3 young children -- asking none other than President Trump to step in!

Reddington sat down for an interview with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday's episode of "Good Morning America" ... and he made a public plea to Trump after Clancy's trial last week in Massachusetts ended with a mistrial.

Prosecutors charged Clancy with 3 counts of murder for allegedly strangling her 3 kids ... 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan. She tried to die by suicide by jumping out of a second-story window at her home, but she wound up paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.

During the "Good Morning America" interview, Reddington told Stephanopoulos, "Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady and the person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon."

"South Park" just added another Emmy to its trophy case ... and immediately handed President Trump the punchline.

The Comedy Central series won Outstanding Animated Program Sunday for "Sermon On The 'Mount," an episode that heavily satirized Trump and even depicted him in bed with Satan.

After the win, the show's social media account posted an image of its animated Trump clutching the trophy with the message, "You finally got your Emmy."

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is looking rough again ... after powerful storms turned the already-troubled tourist attraction into an even bigger mess.

Fencing and black tarp surrounding the closed-off pool have toppled over, mucking up the view ... with parts of the barrier spilling into the water and leaving the area looking battered and disheveled.

Recent storms hammered D.C. with heavy rain and powerful winds ... knocking down trees and sending debris flying across the District -- and the Reflecting Pool wasn't spared.

President Donald Trump’s hair is switching things up again ... taking on a darker look, just in time for the Fall season.

The President arrived in New Jersey Friday sporting a darker, tousled ’do with his familiar side part flipped to the opposite side.

The dramatic change immediately got people talking online ... with some observers wondering if Trump was showing off a new hairpiece to help fill out the sweep over his thinning crown.

United States Central Command has gone far beyond an eye for an eye ... choosing to inflict even more pain when responding to an attack.

CENTCOM released video of an attack on 3 Iranian oil tankers ... which it says was a response to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps firing at 2 American ships.

Check out the clip ... the sea lights up -- with missiles blowing several targets to smithereens.

Donald Trump is keeping tabs on the Lindsay Clancy trial … and spoke out hours after the court ruled a mistrial.

On Friday, the President was questioned about Lindsay’s case. He told reporters, “She did a horrible, horrible thing, can’t be worse, but you’ll find out what the price to pay is.”

Trump continued, “There’ll be a price. It’s going to be a mental institution or jail or something, but I guess they’re going to go through another trial.” 

President Donald Trump's former Secretary of Labor is a supporter of the working class ... because she apparently ordered a member of her security team to make it rain on a stripper.

The Office of the Inspector General -- an office dedicated to government oversight -- released a report on Thursday detailing a series of sordid actions the office claims Lori Chavez-DeRemer committed while serving in Trump's Cabinet.

The report specifically notes she went to a partially nude strip club in Oregon in April 2025 -- just a month after taking office -- where Secretary Chavez-DeRemer allegedly “took money from her purse, gave the money to the driver [a member of security detail], and directed him to give it to the performer.”

President Donald Trump's administration has put an end to illegal immigration ... online, that is -- because the White House dropped a couple of arcade games focused on deportation.

That's right, the Executive Branch has jumped into the same arena as Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox ... releasing 5 new arcade games MAGA supporters will love and which promote the values of the 45th/47th prez.

A few seem fairly innocuous ... one is about building healthy school lunches. Another is essentially the hit game "Flappy Bird" with a bald eagle on its way to deliver a bill to Congress.

Donald Trump wasn't broken up about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moving back to the U.K. ... he's actually glad they're gone!

Reporters in the Oval Office asked DT straight-up how he feels about them hightailing it across the pond, and he said ... "I'm happy about it. I was not a fan."

From where Trump's standing, he felt the Duke and Duchess were "terribly disrespectful" to their fellow royals.
