President Trump is going where no president's gone before ... the roof of the White House -- and he's talking about nuclear missiles.

The Prez went for a stroll Tuesday morning at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, checking out the grounds from above ... and taking questions from the media while on the rooftop of the West Colonnade.

Ya gotta see the video, it's truly a spectacle ... Trump emerges on the roof with some Secret Service agents in tow and he shouts down to members of the press.

Donald Trump is taking aim at a new TV host ... and this time, it's Gayle King.

The Prez unloaded on the "CBS Mornings" co-host Monday night on Truth Social, writing ... "Gayle King’s career is over. She should have stayed with her belief in TRUMP. She never had the courage to do so."

He piled on with, "No talent, no ratings, no strength!!!"

Rep. Nancy Mace says the hate Sydney Sweeney is getting for her controversial American Eagle commercial and for being a registered Republican sums up left-wingers ... she says they can't accept anyone with different views.

The Republican Congresswoman from South Carolina joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked her how the GOP feels about the Sydney controversy ... including the actress being heckled Sunday at a movie premiere in Hollywood.

Candace Owens claims Donald Trump personally intervened in her quest to expose France's First Lady Brigitte Macron as an alleged trans woman -- but CO says she never backed down to 47's demands.

Owens went on Tucker Carlson's podcast last week and told the former Fox News host Trump phoned her to tell her to knock off all the talk about French President Emmanuel Macron's wife being a trans woman. Candace claimed she received the Trump call after Macron flew to Washington, D.C. to request the 47th prez contact her over her viral series, 'Becoming Brigitte.'

Watch the clip ... it's super interesting seeing Candace and Tucker banter back and forth about the two world leaders over Brigitte's alleged secret she's been hiding all these years -- at least according to Candace.

Donald Trump is doubling down on his support for actress Sydney Sweeney amid her controversial American Eagle ad campaign ... taking time out of his busy sched to embrace the clothing brand while taking a dig at Jaguar and Taylor Swift for going "WOKE."

47 jumped on Truth Social this morning and trumpeted his views again on Sweeney, calling her American Eagle ad the "HOTTEST" right now and praising her for being a registered Republican.

Then Trump took aim at the car company, Jaguar, claiming they have gone "seriously WOKE" with their own recent ad campaign. The prez drew comparisons to Dylan Mulvaney's controversial Bud Light campaign years ago that resulted in a right-wing boycott of the brand.

Donald Trump is all in on Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad campaign ... and it's all because of her voter registration.

"The Breakfast Club" host joined Lara’s Fox News show Saturday, telling the president's daughter in law he believes traditional conservatives are poised to reclaim the Republican Party -- using the Epstein controversy as political leverage.

"There's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people are not paying attention to," Charlamagne said. "I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris shared a shocking explanation as to why she doesn't plan on running for an elected position anytime soon ... revealing she believes U.S. democracy is a "broken system."

KH freely divulged her opinion on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Thursday night, explaining ... "I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that they’re not as strong as they need to be."

She didn't say she's getting out of politics altogether -- she told the late-night host she plans to "travel the country" to meet and listen to people ... without asking for their vote in return.

Virginia Giuffre's family is calling into question whether President Donald Trump really didn't know anything about Jeffrey Epstein's crimes ... after his comment claiming Epstein "stole" Virginia from Mar-a-Lago.

Here's the deal ... Trump was speaking to reporters Tuesday when his relationship with Epstein came up again -- and, he talked about a falling out he said they had when Epstein kept poaching his employees.

When asked if Virginia was one of the Mar-a-Lago employees -- who was working at Trump's private club in Florida when she was 16 -- the prez replied, "I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever."

A Virginia man has been arrested after he allegedly poured gasoline all over a local city councilman, chased him outside and set him on fire, according to police ... who say this appears to be some sort of personal vendetta.

Al Sharpton says President Trump is running from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and he's hoping an old trick distracts the masses ... attacks on big-name Black celebrities.

The Reverend joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked him about Trump alleging Sharpton was paid $600,000 to endorse Kamala Harris.

Al says the claim is absurd and it's a desperate move by Trump to shift the news cycle away from the Epstein Files. He says Trump's throwing crap on the wall and nothing's sticking -- so now he's leaning on an old crutch, going after former prez Barack Obama and other Black celebs.

O.J. Simpson's longtime lawyer says President Trump's trying to call attention away from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal ... by sharing a meme comparing Barack Obama to The Juice.

Malcolm LaVergne, who is also the executor of O.J.'s estate, tells TMZ ... Trump's a marketing genius who tends to introduce one distraction to cancel out another, and the Obama-Simpson meme is straight from DJT's playbook.

ICYMI ... Trump posted a meme to several of his social media accounts Saturday ... POTUS and J.D. Vance are photoshopped into a couple police cars following the white Ford Bronco carrying O.J. down the 405, with Obama replacing A.C. Cowlings as the driver in the iconic 1994 shot.

Trump sparred with reporters over the "Epstein Files" during a Monday press conference at his golf resort in Scotland, where he was sitting next to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

As always, the Commander-in-Chief wasn't at a loss for words when talking about the one subject that's been dogging him and his administration the last few weeks.

Donald Trump just suggested his name appears in the Epstein files because his enemies -- Joe Biden, James Comey and Merrick Garland -- put his name in the files to smear him.

Trump was speaking in Scotland Monday when he casually dropped the conspiracy theory. He called the Biden trio the "worst scum on Earth," adding they controlled the Epstein Justice Dept. files for 4 years.

Now the conspiracy theory ... Trump said, "I was running against someone who ran the files ... They can easily put something in the files that's a phony."

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are hot on Barack Obama's tail, the current prez is saying in a wild new social media post showing him catching up on his predecessor ... like the Los Angeles Police Department caught up with O.J. Simpson back in 1994!
