YOU NEED MORE CHARACTER(S)

Mark Cuban's buying some of what President Trump's selling so far, but still thinks he won't last in the White House.

Mark was in NYC Wednesday morning and told us he's all-in for a lot of what the prez has done -- mostly with finance and business. On the other hand ... he skewered Trump for his handling of the immigration ban, and declared, "I don't think he'll last 4 years."

The Mavericks owner also implored POTUS to quit jumping on Twitter with his every thought. Watch, he tells Trump where to go. On social media.

Kanye West Deletes All Trump Tweets I'm Not with Him Anymore

Published | Updated

Kanye West has scrubbed his Twitter account of all things Trump, and it's because he's super unhappy with the president's performance over his first 2 weeks in office.

Kanye had tweeted about Trump in a positive light after the election. In December, the day he met with Trump in NYC, he wrote, "I feel it is important to have a direct line of communication with our future President if we truly want change."

Kanye also wrote about issues on which he felt he could influence Trump, writing, "These issues include bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums, and violence in Chicago."

Kanye's decision to remove the tweets was all his. The "Muslim ban" and other actions were the catalyst for his decision.

Donald Trump Continues Schwarzenegger Attack He Also Failed as Governor

Published | Updated

Donald Trump has doubled down on Arnold Schwarzenegger, not only trashing his performance on 'Celebrity Apprentice' but ripping him over his tenure as Governor of California.

Trump tweeted, "Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger did a really bad job as Governor of California and even worse on the Apprentice ... but at least he tried hard!"

Trump's tweet follows the President's attack at the National Prayer Breakfast, where he told the group the movie star was failing as his TV successor, saying he was praying for the Gov.

Schwarzenegger followed up with an offer to trade places, so the country would not be riddled with anxiety.

It's unclear why Trump is on the attack. He gets a big cut of the profits if the show does well. True enough, Arnold ended up not supporting Trump in the election, but he followed a long list of Hollywood stars.

Kim Kardashian Goes After Trump ... By the Numbers

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian is going head-to-head with Donald Trump ... with statistics.

Kim is trying to show the threat of Islamic terrorists to Americans pales in comparison to American-on-American gun violence.

She posted a screen grab of a chart with stats generated by the CDC -- which shows, over the last 10 years, Islamic jihadist immigrants were responsible for 2 murders per year.

By contrast, armed toddlers kill 21 people per year. Lawnmowers kill 69, and falling out of bed kills 737 annually.

The biggest number ... 11,737 Americans are shot and killed by their fellow citizens.

There is no text that accompanies Kim's post, other than the word "Statistics." She does not mention recent attacks, such as the San Bernardino shooting, which resulted in the slaughter of 14.

Trump Inauguration Pic Wrong Date ... Alternative Fact

Published | Updated

President Trump proudly flaunted a photo from his inauguration, but there's one problem -- it has the wrong date on it!

The portrait -- by Panoramic Visions Photography -- touts "The Ceremony of President Donald J. Trump" going down on January 21st, 2017. Juuust a bit outside. It actually went down on Jan. 20 -- as it always has since 1937.

Chalk it up to alternative facts. Maybe that's why the prez says he's hanging it in the Press Hall.

Panoramic Visions tells us the flub's being corrected.

Trump to Protesters If You're So Upset, Why Didn't You Vote?

Published | Updated

Donald Trump sent 3 different messages to America via Twitter re: Saturday's protests:

1. You sat on your hands. Trump said, "Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn't these people vote?"

2. Celebrities are a turnoff. It's a theme Trump has carried forward since early on in his campaign. He said, "Celebs hurt cause badly." Lots of celebs spoke at the rallies, including Scarlett Johansson, Ashley Judd, Amy Schumer and Madonna.

3. I'm not against protests. Trump ended with a conciliatory thought, saying, "Peaceful protests are a hallmark of our democracy. Even if I don't always agree, I recognize the rights of people to express their views."

Prez Trump and Melania We're @POTUS and @FLOTUS Now

Published | Updated

Twitter's official POTUS and FLOTUS handles have changed profile images to President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

Twitter made the switch almost immediately after Trump was sworn in as the 45th Prez. Meanwhile, the Obamas are now @POTUS44 and @FLOTUS44.

This appears to be the first time in history Twitter's done this. Tweeting wasn't nearly as widespread in 2009, and @POTUS wasn't created until 2015.

Peaceful transition ... on social media. Just as the forefathers wanted it.

HE DOESN'T LIVE UP TO THE NAME

D.L. Hughley isn't trying to hide his anger at MLK Jr.'s son for betraying Civil Rights leader Rep. John Lewis during his beef with Donald Trump ... in D.L.'s eyes, anyway.

D.L. definitely got some stuff off his chest when we asked about Martin Luther King III's meeting with the Prez-elect. He flat-out rips him for not calling out Trump for his Twitter rant against Rep. Lewis ... who walked shoulder to shoulder with MLK Jr. in the '60s.

As for why MLK III really had the meeting -- D.L. offers a mercenary theory.

The outrage is real.

MLB's Matt Garza Blasts Jessica Chastain Over Birth Control 'It's Called Abstinence'

Published | Updated

Jessica Chastain should quit her bitchin' about birth control costs and start preachin' about abstinence ... so says Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza.

Garza -- who has 6 kids -- went after the "Zero Dark Thirty" star after she tweeted about a Senate vote this week that struck down an amendment requiring insurance companies to pay for contraceptives.

Garza no likey ... and responded, "It's called abstinence, a word that has been forgotten amongst this generation... it's the best contraceptive... #juatsayin."

So far, Chastain has yet to reply.
