Donald Trump didn't mince words about his feelings about the country of Somalia while speaking to reporters on Air Force One Sunday.

The president was fielding questions from reporters when he landed on the topic of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, whom he previously called the R-word slur in an unhinged social media rant on Thanksgiving.

47 said there is "something wrong" with Walz, who challenged POTUS to release the results of his under-the-radar MRI from back in October. Trump then referred to Minnesota's large Somali population and said the United States has given billions to the African nation.

The president said Somalia isn't "even a country" and said the nation "doesn’t function."

Trump ordered the reexamination of green cards issued to immigrants from Somalia, as well as 18 more countries of "concern," following last week's shooting of a National Guard troop in D.C. by an Afghan citizen, according to CBS News.

Watch out! The Department of War's latest target is all of our childhoods ... Pete Hegseth turned beloved children's book character Franklin the Turtle into a bloodthirsty killing machine in an A.I.-generated pic posted Sunday.

Pete captioned the post, "For your Christmas wish list..." along with a fake book cover titled, "Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists."

The bogus cover depicts the 6-year-old turtle from the animated series going "Full Metal Jacket" -- hanging out of a helicopter, happily firing a missile at a manned boat while wearing a U.S. military vest. No sign of Franklin's best friend, Bear ... maybe he's storming the Capitol.

Donald Trump's still taking swipes at female reporters ... this time telling one she’d struggle to pass the same cognitive test he loves to brag about.

The jab went down on Air Force One Sunday night when a reporter pressed him on releasing the results of an MRI scan he recently underwent -- asking which part of his body was scanned. Trump says "I have no idea" ... then declares it wasn’t his brain ... 'cause he notes he already took a cognitive test, which he frequently insists he passed with flying colors.

He doubled down with a bite, telling her ... "I got a perfect mark -- which you would be incapable of doing."

Melania Trump has gone Hollywood ... The First Lady said Friday she's launched her own production company, Muse Films, which will soon release her first movie project -- a documentary titled "Melania."

President Trump's better half made the stunning announcement on X, while also posting a short trailer that introduced the world to Muse Films. Interestingly, Muse was also her code name used by the Secret Service in her husband's first term as commander-in-chief.

Director Brett Ratner will helm the documentary, which will give audiences an exclusive look behind the scenes at Melania's life in the weeks before the 2025 presidential inauguration.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz didn’t waste a second clapping back after Donald Trump hurled an ugly slur his way -- firing off a simple, deadly one-liner that landed hard.

In an X post Friday, Walz fired back with, "Release the MRI results" -- a shot aimed at Trump, who’d just hopped on Truth Social late Thanksgiving night to unload a marathon immigration rant ... taking swipes at Minnesota’s Somali community and tossing the nasty r-slur at Walz.

Walz hit back by poking at Trump’s own health mystery -- that hush-hush MRI he reportedly got during an October stop at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Dr. Heavenly Kimes says Congress needs someone younger, fresher, and way more plugged in to what her community’s actually dealing with ... and that’s why she thinks she’s the perfect pick to shake up Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, which covers a large portion of Atlanta's southeast suburbs.

The "Married to Medicine" star told us on "TMZ Live" her reality TV personality actually makes her perfect for the gig -- she can use her platform to go off about the real issues hitting Georgia ... like Medicaid and affordability, and how folks are straight-up struggling to pay their bills.

Catch the clip -- Dr. Heavenly says she's speaking from real-life experience ... explaining how she sees patients come in all the time who literally can’t afford their medical care.

FBI Director Kash Patel's still in the White House's good graces ... his boss in Washington isn't concerned about some ongoing scandalous headlines.

Here's the deal ... Patel's been under the microscope after reports revealed he'd taken an FBI jet for personal use, flying to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a pro wrestling event in Pennsylvania in October.

Patel and Alexis Wilkins then hopped back onto the plane and flew to Nashville, where Patel dropped her off. Not exactly official business ... which Patel used to criticize his predecessor about.

Patel also reportedly utilized an FBI SWAT team as security for Wilkins at an event in spring, according to The New York Times.

MS Now published a report Tuesday about President Donald Trump and his advisors considering giving Patel the boot ... describing Patel as "being on thin ice."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeled the MS Now report "fake news" Tuesday.

Leavitt wrote on X Trump laughed when he heard about the MS Now story, and he even called in Patel to take a photo, with both of them grinning and flashing thumbs-ups.

While pardoning turkeys at the White House Tuesday, Trump said Patel is "doing a great job" in his role, USA Today reports.

Several Democratic members of Congress say they're the targets of an FBI probe following a controversial video they released last week urging military service personnel to be aware of their duty to refuse un-Constitutional and unlawful orders from their superiors.

Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan issued a joint statement Tuesday saying President Donald Trump is using the FBI as "a tool to intimidate and harass" them.

They wrote the FBI had contacted them -- as well as Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin -- to request interviews. They said they won't back down from "intimidation or harassment."

Reality star Savannah Chrisley could end up launching the next American political dynasty ... because she just talked to her dad, Todd, about the possibility of running for office on Tuesday's episode of the "Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley" podcast.

If you're thinking Savannah going into politics isn't the best idea, you're not alone. According to Savannah, a lot of people in Donald Trump's administration have advised her that politics isn't the only way to have a positive effect on the world ... and in fact, with her following, she could be more impactful outside of government, where she wouldn't have to give up her life. But she just might not listen.

She says because she has a voice that "95 percent of the politicians" don't have, it might end up making sense to her.

Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to talk smack about his political rivals ... he went after Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi while pardoning a pair of turkeys at the White House Tuesday.

The president was addressing the crowd at the event when he took shots at the Democrats. He said he was thinking about renaming the turkeys -- Gobble and Waddle -- "Chuck and Nancy" instead.

He chuckled and said he changed his mind after realizing he would never pardon either one of his political foes.

Gobble gobble ... we’ve got a text! Two lucky turkeys just scored the ultimate White House glow-up, set to be pardoned by Donald Trump in a full-on "Love Island"-style reveal!

The video’s a full-on hoot ... baste mates Gobble and Waddle strut onto the red carpet as the "Love Island"-style narrator purrs, "Two new eligible turkeys enter the coop" before cutting to the duo flapping their way to some luxurious hotel beds.

TBH, it then swerves from Casa Amor to "The Bachelor" energy -- rose petals everywhere and Gobble & Waddle turkin' 9-to-5 -- wrapping with the killer tagline: "Two birds ready to ruffle some feathers in the coop."

Erika Kirk's hug with J.D. Vance at a Turning Point USA event in October raised eyebrows ... but she's downplaying the whole thing.

FYI ... the Vice President and Charlie Kirk's widow hugged it out before she introduced him to the crowd, and she placed her hand on the back of his head -- and he put his hand on her waist for a hot second.

Their interaction set off a huge reaction online, with many people pointing out Erika only lost her husband a few weeks earlier.

Erika Kirk says she desperately hoped she was carrying another one of Charlie Kirk’s children on the heels of his assassination.

Charlie’s widow sat down with Megyn Kelly ... revealing she was “praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered.”

Erika and Charlie share two kids, but she says they planned to have four, and were excited about growing their family.

The infomercial pitchman Offer Vince Shlomi -- known to many as the "ShamWow Guy" -- just announced a run for U.S. Congress to represent Texas.

Shlomi revealed his plans to enter politics in an interview with Fox News Digital Sunday ... two days after officially filing his congressional bid.

He's running as a Republican to represent Texas' deeply red 31st Congressional District, which comprises suburbs north of Austin.

Shlomi's is running as part of an effort to "destroy wokeism" and described his candidacy as a political tribute to Charlie Kirk, who Shlomi called the first "woke buster."

He said he's seriously put off by all of the "political infighting" in the United States and just wants to "make America happy."

There are at least five other politicians vying for Congressman John Carter's seat -- and Carter himself is seeking re-election.

Tatiana Schlossberg -- John F. Kennedy's granddaughter -- has terminal cancer ... and has about a year to live, according to her docs.

Tatiana, the 35-year-old daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, revealed she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in an essay published by The New Yorker Saturday morning. Her form of leukemia has a rare mutation called Inversion 3, making it harder to treat.

She was diagnosed just hours after giving birth to her 2nd child in May 2024, when her doctor noticed her abnormally high white-blood-cell count. Instead of being discharged with her newborn daughter, she spent 5 weeks at Columbia Presbyterian receiving chemotherapy.

Donald Trump assassination conspiracy theorists may not believe it, but Thomas Matthew Crooks worked alone when he tried to kill the prez -- this according to the FBI.

Fox News conducted an interview with FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and an unnamed senior involved in the Butler shooting investigation ... and the three told the outlet the assassination wasn't part of a great cover-up.

Bognino told Fox, "We have reviewed this case over and over -- looked into every nugget. We have spoken to the families, the president -- there is no cover-up here. There is no motive for it, there is no reason for it."
