Donald Trump Where's Your MAGA Hat, Alyssa Farah?!?
Alyssa Farah might have some explaining to do ... 'cause Donald Trump is calling her out after she seemingly bluffed on live television.
ICYMI ... the 'View' co-host promised back in January she'd put on a MAGA hat if the prez was able to reach a Gaza peace deal -- specifically if he was able to free Israeli prisoners. Now that he's accomplished that, she has yet to hold up her end of the deal.
Now, Trump ripped into her while speaking to the press Tuesday. Just check out the clip -- he calls "The View" a "fraud" and Alyssa "a joke" ... and says she never thought she'd "make it" after she worked for him. She formerly served as his White House Communications Director.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto Caught On Hot Mic Asking Trump If He Can Meet His Son Eric
Everyone knows politicians love to schmooze around a little bit ... Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto took it to a new level on Monday when he got caught asking Donald Trump for a favor during a hot-mic moment.
The pair's meeting took place during a summit in Egypt, which was centered on trying to bring lasting peace to Gaza ... and Subianto apparently didn't notice he could be heard publicly when he asked 47 if he could introduce PS to his son Eric, according to The Guardian.
Trump was apparently pleased with the request and referred to his second son as "such a good boy," saying he'd have Eric give Subianto a call ... the Indonesian president clarified he'd be okay speaking with either Eric or firstborn son Donald Jr.
Subianto was heard speaking about an area which wasn't "safe, security-wise" and claiming he'd "look for a better place."
It's worth noting both Eric and Donald Jr. are executive vice presidents of the Trump Organization, which manages POTUS' various private business interests.
What's also interesting is the Trump Organization officially opened its first golf club in Indonesia this past March -- and everyone knows Trump is pretty big about practicing his swing.
Oh, and the Trump Organization's currently preparing to open a hotel and golf club in Bali, according to its official website.

Cohen joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday, saying ... "Here in Israel Trump is a hero. Just because of him, I am released, and I'm alive."
Cohen, who was set free in February, was reportedly held captive for 505 days after Hamas militants abducted him from the Nova music festival October 7, 2023.
How Tom Homan Ended Up At The Center Of An Investigation
The United States has a complicated, evolving history with its borders ... and Tom Homan's been in charge of them since 2024.
The "border czar" -- an informal term designating executive oversight of managing the country's land, air and sea borders, and deportations -- has an extensive history with law enforcement ... including as the subject of a probe into an allegation he accepted a cash bribe.
We're going to take a look into Homan's professional background and see how he ended up at the center of a formal investigation.
Homan Got His Start as a Cop
Homan began his career in law enforcement, serving as a police officer in upstate New York before starting as a Border Patrol agent in the 1980s, according to MSNBC.
President Barack Obama tapped Homan to lead ICE's deportation branch in 2013 following several promotions.
Homan was appointed by President Donald Trump to head ICE in 2017, and he became known for his tough approach to immigrants looking to cross the border.
Although he sought to become ICE's permanent director, his nomination ended up stalling in the Senate, as many Democrats were opposed to his confirmation ... he announced plans to retire in 2018.
He Stayed Close to Trump During the Biden Administration
Homan ended up staying busy within the law enforcement world, founding a consulting firm -- Homeland Strategic Consulting -- which reportedly worked with the departments of Justice, Defense, and Homeland Security.
He also stayed pretty close to Trump and his political allies during President Joe Biden's administration, and he worked as contributor at Fox News.
Plenty of folks expected him to serve in Trump's second administration, and he signed on to act as 47's border czar in November 2024, according to the Associated Press. Homan's new role didn't require Senate confirmation.
Homan Was Caught Up in a Bribery Scandal
Homan found himself in hot water in September 2025 after reports surfaced that he allegedly accepted a bag with $50,000 cash inside from undercover FBI agents in 2024.
Homan allegedly assured the agents he would be able to assist in securing government contracts during the second Trump administration.
Although an investigation was opened into Homan's alleged activities, it was ultimately closed in early 2025 by the Trump Dept. of Justice, and he wasn't charged with any crimes.
FBI Director Kash Patel gave a statement about it to MSNBC and claimed no "credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing" was found during the investigation.

Donald Trump Thanks Mega-Donor Miriam Adelson During Speech in Israel
It looks like Donald Trump might be rooting for the Dallas Mavericks a little harder in the future ... because he gave a shout-out to one of the team's owners -- and Trump mega-donor -- Miriam Adelson, during his speech to the Knesset in Israel on Monday.
The President credited Adelson, who was present while he addressed the Israeli parliament, with helping him make key decisions regarding U.S. policy about the country, according to Reuters.
Trump said Miriam and her late husband Sheldon were in close contact with him and advised him on matters regarding Israel in both of his terms in office. A senior U.S. official claimed she pressed Trump to focus on having hostages taken by Hamas in October 2023 returned from Gaza to Israel.
Miriam Adelson is an Israeli-born physician whose late husband built much of their multibillion-dollar fortune as the head of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
The couple became major donors for the campaigns of various conservative politicians -- including the current POTUS.
Sheldon died in 2021, and Miriam subsequently purchased majority ownership of the Mavs from Mark Cuban -- for a cool $3.5 billion -- in 2023.
Trump awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018, and her work in both the medical and philanthropy fields was cited as the reasons she was selected to receive the award.

George Stephanopoulos Thank You for Your Time, J.D. Vance Ends Interview Abruptly
George Stephanopoulos has made a career out of having extensive conversations with high-profile individuals ... but J.D. Vance apparently didn't make the cut on Sunday.
Stephanopoulos and the Vice President butted heads on an episode of "This Week" Sunday after Stephanopoulos asked Vance about an FBI investigation of border czar Tom Homan allegedly taking a cash bribe in 2024.
Homan allegedly pocketed $50,000 of cold, hard cash from undercover FBI agents and reportedly stated he could help them land government contracts in the second Trump administration. The investigation was closed once Trump took office, and he was never charged with any crimes.
Vance claimed Stephanopoulos was "losing credibility" -- and viewers -- by bringing up the allegations about the border czar.
The Vice President then accused the former White House Communications Director of going down what he described as a "weird left-wing rabbit hole."
Stephanopoulos responded by stating Vance hadn't answered his question before thanking him for his time and going to commercial.
Vice President JD Vance stands by White House “border czar” Tom Homan's denial over allegations Homan accepted $50,000 in an FBI sting: “The FBI has not prosecuted him. I've never seen any evidence that he's engaged in criminal wrongdoing.” https://t.co/3Tjdj3q8Ns pic.twitter.com/vClwD1UGpQ
— ABC News (@ABC) October 12, 2025 @ABC
Vance responded to the abrupt end of the interview by sharing a post on his X account, in which he claimed Stephanopoulos wanted to focus on "a fake scandal" as opposed to more pressing issues.

How Maria Corina Machado Became A Political Figure
Maria Corina Machado has worked her way through Venezuela's political landscape ... and her efforts are being recognized by the international community in a big way -- because she's just been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
We're taking a look at what she's done to reach this point ... and check out how one particular international politician is not thrilled about her receiving the distinction.
Machado Worked in Philanthropy Before Entering Politics
Machado, 58, is from Venezuela ... her father was an industrialist in the country, according to The Wall Street Journal. Machado studied engineering during her university days, and she eventually earned a master's degree in finance.
Her philanthropic activities kicked off in 1992, when she founded Fundación Atenea, which provides aid to street children in Caracas.
Machado entered politics 10 years later when she founded Sumate, a vote-monitoring organization, and she subsequently left Atenea in order to focus on her political ambitions, according to The Independent.
She Began Her Career as a Politician in 2010
Machado was elected to Venezuela's National Assembly in 2010, reportedly pulling in a record number of supporters.
She cofounded a liberal-leaning political party, Vente Venezuela, in 2012, and she helped set up the Soy Venezuela alliance, which brings together right and left-wing politicians to work on shared issues.
Machado achieved notoriety as a vocal opponent of Venezuela's longtime president Nicolas Maduro, and she ended up expelled from the country's National Assembly in 2014.
Machado announced her candidacy for president in Venezuela's 2024 presidential election, but she was ultimately banned from holding public office. Maduro reportedly won the election with 51% of the vote -- although inconsistencies in the polls were widely publicized -- and Machado went into hiding after the election, according to NPR.
Machado Was 'Violently Intercepted' in January 2025
After months underground, Machado made her first public appearance at an opposition protest in Caracas in January 2025, according to The Independent. Her political group, Comando Con Venezuela, said she'd been "violently intercepted" as she was leaving the rally, after which she was detained.
Machado's team later claimed she'd been forced to record several videos during her detainment, which was reportedly denounced by various governments.
Venezuelan government officials alleged she'd faked the arrest and detainment to drum up support for the opposition.
She Said She Didn't 'Deserve' The Nobel Peace Prize
Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on October 10, 2025, "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," according to the Nobel Prize Foundation website.
A video showing the moment she was notified she'd won the prize was released on Friday, and she said she didn't deserve the distinction before expressing the prize was "the achievement of a whole society."
The achievement apparently didn't sit well over at the White House ... Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement accusing the Nobel Committee of favoring "politics over peace." Cheung declared President Donald Trump -- who's been loudly advocating he deserves the award -- has "the heart of a humanitarian."

President Trump Snubbed By Nobel Committee ... Peace Prize Handed to Venezuelan Politician
Update
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.
