Trump Says NATO Should Shoot Down Russian Jets That Violate Airspace, Escalating Tensions With Moscow

President Donald Trump dramatically escalated his rhetoric on Tuesday, calling on NATO countries to shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace. The remarks, made during a bilateral meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, are likely to reverberate across Europe and further strain already tense relations between NATO and Moscow.

Asked directly by a reporter whether NATO allies should respond with military force to airspace violations by Russian jets, Trump did not hesitate:

“Yes, I do,” he replied.

The statement, though brief, represents a significant escalation in Trump’s posture toward Russia — one that, if acted upon, could lead to direct military conflict between NATO and the Kremlin. Shooting down a Russian military aircraft, even in defense of NATO airspace, could trigger retaliatory measures and plunge Europe into a broader war.

Trump’s stance on NATO has been inconsistent over the years. As president, he frequently criticized NATO members for not spending enough on defense and questioned the alliance’s relevance. His Tuesday comments, however, seemed to embrace NATO’s core doctrine of collective defense — albeit in a manner that raises the stakes exponentially.

Military analysts warn that even a single such incident — a NATO member downing a Russian aircraft — could spark retaliatory strikes, diplomatic fallout, or even invoke Article 5, NATO’s mutual defense clause, which could lead to full-scale conflict between Russia and the West.

Zelenskyy, seated beside Trump, did not publicly respond to the call for shooting down Russian jets, but has repeatedly urged Western nations to take a firmer stance against Russian aggression. Ukraine has long called for tougher NATO action, particularly following repeated Russian airspace violations near NATO borders in Eastern Europe.

The former president’s comments came just hours after he blasted the United Nations in a separate speech, accusing the international body of undermining U.S. interests and enabling illegal immigration.

“Not only is the U.N. not solving the problems it should. It, too often, is actually creating new problems for us to solve,” Trump said. “The best example is the No. 1 political issue of our time: the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It is uncontrolled. Your countries are being ruined.”

He further accused the U.N. of actively supporting illegal immigration into the United States by providing “food, shelter, transportation and debit cards” to migrants.

“The U.N. is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and we have to get them out,” he added.

Ryan Routh Tries to Stab Himself With Pen After Being Convicted of Trump Assassination Attempt

Ryan Routh, the madman who holed up in a sniper’s nest with an assault rifle at one of President Trump’s golf courses, tried to stab himself with a pen in a Florida courtroom Tuesday after he was convicted of attempting to assassinate the then-GOP nominee.

A dramatic scene unfolded as jurors were leaving the courtroom when Routh took a pen and started trying to jab himself in the neck.

Courtroom marshals sprung to action and dragged him out of the room as his daughter, Sara Routh, screamed at her father. “Dad I love you. Don’t do anything. I’ll get you out. He didn’t hurt anybody,” the daughter yelled.

A few minutes later, Routh was brought back into the courtroom with shackles on. He wasn’t wearing the jacket and tie from earlier and his white shirt didn’t show signs of blood. The judge set his sentencing date for Dec. 18, where he will face up to life in prison.

The jurors took about two hours to find Routh, 59, guilty of five federal charges of attempted assassination, assault on a federal officer and gun crimes following a two week trial in Fort Pierce, Fla. court.

After the verdict was read out, Routh took a pen and stabbed himself in the neck. The extent of his injuries was not immediately clear. (Read more from “Ryan Routh Tries to Stab Himself With Pen After Being Convicted of Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Trump Blasts United Nations for ‘Funding an Assault on Western Countries and Borders’ with Mass Migration

The United Nations is “funding an assault on Western countries,” President Donald Trump said to the U.N. annual convention on Tuesday.

In his address, the president accused weak western nations of destroying their own countries through mass migration with the U.N. playing a central role.

“The number one political issue of our time [is] the crisis of uncontrolled migration,” he exclaimed. “Your countries are being ruined,” he added. “The United Nations is funding an assault on western countries and their borders.

The president then laid out the material support that the United Nations gave to these invading illegals who flooded border by the hundreds of millions all across the world.

“In 2024, the U.N. budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support… migrants journeying into the United States,” the president said from the podium. “The U.N. also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens on the way to infiltrate our southern border.” (Read more from “Trump Blasts United Nations for ‘Funding an Assault on Western Countries and Borders’ with Mass Migration” HERE)

Armed Man Detained at Charlie Kirk Memorial Site as Authorities Track Multiple Threats Against Trump, Vance

An armed man posing as law enforcement was apprehended Friday at the site of Charlie Kirk’s memorial service in Glendale, Arizona, triggering heightened security concerns ahead of Sunday’s high-profile event expected to draw over 100,000 attendees — including former President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

According to law enforcement sources and a memo obtained by ABC News, authorities are monitoring several threats “of unknown credibility” against key speakers and public figures scheduled to attend the memorial. These include Trump, Vance, members of the Kirk family, and a slate of senior government officials and political influencers.

The memorial, titled “Building a Legacy: Remembering Charlie Kirk,” is set to be held at State Farm Stadium, the same venue used by the Arizona Cardinals. In addition to Trump and Vance, the speaker lineup includes Erika Kirk, Marco Rubio, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump Jr., and others.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the memorial has been designated a SEAR-1 event — the highest possible security rating typically reserved for Super Bowls and presidential inaugurations. This status enables full federal law enforcement support, including counterterrorism assets, to assist local agencies.

“This designation is reserved for events of the highest national significance,” a DHS official told CBS News. “The goal is to ensure a safe and successful event.”

The man arrested Friday was reportedly carrying both a gun and a knife, and falsely claimed to be a law enforcement officer. Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi confirmed to Fox News Digital that the individual presented “inactive law enforcement credentials” and is currently in custody.

“The individual is not a member of authorized law enforcement working the event,” Guglielmi said. “He is being investigated by local and federal officials.”

Officials have not released the man’s name or confirmed whether the arrest is directly tied to any of the threats outlined in the federal memo.

Security for Sunday’s memorial will include a vast network of uniformed and plainclothes officers, 300 surveillance cameras, drones, and sniper teams stationed throughout the stadium and surrounding area. A Glendale Police Department spokesperson said the short preparation window made planning unusually intense:

“For the Super Bowl, we had two years to prepare. For this, we had a week. We’re all hands on deck.”

The event is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m. local time, with doors opening at 8:00 a.m. Attendees are being advised to dress in red, white, or blue and are subject to a strict no-bag policy — even clear bags are prohibited.

FBI Scandal: Docs Reveal Deep State Targeted Trump and Charlie Kirk

Under the Biden administration, the FBI launched a covert operation code-named “Arctic Frost” in 2022 — a sweeping probe that has now been exposed as a blatant weaponization of federal power against conservatives.

Thanks to whistleblower disclosures and new Senate releases from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), we now have leaked documents revealing that this partisan witch hunt targeted a staggering 92 Republican-linked individuals and groups, including the late Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, in a clear effort to silence Trump allies and dismantle the conservative movement.

Arctic Frost “was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors could achieve their partisan ends and improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Grassley said on September 16, 2025, during his opening remarks at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the FBI.

Blaze News editor in chief and co-host of “Blaze News: The Mandate” Matthew Peterson is appalled by this latest development. “This is a broad investigation, in other words, of political opponents,” he says.

Trump Calls for Firing of US Attorney Investigating Tish James: ‘I Want Him Out’

The federal prosecutor weighing mortgage fraud claims against New York state Attorney General Letitia James should be fired, President Trump said Friday.

“I want him out,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office in response to a question about US Attorney Erik Siebert, whom he nominated to the post for the Eastern District of Virginia back in May.

Siebert has yet to be confirmed by the Senate, but Trump said he changed his mind after he learned that Virginia’s two Democratic senators, Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, had expressed support for him.

“When I saw that he got two senators, two gentlemen that are bad news, as far as I’m concerned, when I saw that he got approved by these two men, I said, ‘Pull him,’ because he can’t be any good,” Trump claimed.

“I have other people, judges, and I have US attorneys for other states where I have the same situation. And they can’t get approved. So when I learned that they voted for him, I said, ‘I don’t really want him.’” (Read more from “Trump Calls for Firing of US Attorney Investigating Tish James: ‘I Want Him Out’” HERE)

After Kimmel Suspension, Trump Sets Sights on Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers: ‘Do It NBC!’

By USA Today. President Donald Trump is doubling down on comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.

Trump, a frequent critic of Kimmel and the entire late-night host lineup, first took to Truth Social late Wednesday, Sept. 18, to deride Kimmel’s ratings and throw some shots at Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon.

“Great News for America: The ratings challenged Jimmy Kimmel Show is CANCELLED. Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done,” Trump wrote. “Kimmel has ZERO talent, and worse ratings than even Colbert, if that’s possible. That leaves Jimmy and Seth, two total losers, on Fake News NBC. Their ratings are also horrible. Do it NBC!!! President DJT”

Then during a Sept. 18 press conference, Trump said that the comedian should have been fired “a long time ago” for a “lack of talent” and pushed back at concerns about the state of free speech in the United States. Kimmel has not been officially fired, though it remains unclear if, and when, his show will return to the air. . .

During his Monday, Sept. 15 episode, Kimmel said the following: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” (Read more from “After Kimmel Suspension, Trump Sets Sights on Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers: ‘Do It NBC!’” HERE)

Jimmy Kimmel cancellation sparks fierce celebrity split in Hollywood

By Fox News. Jimmy Kimmel’s indefinite suspension from ABC’s late-night lineup has Hollywood stars in a tailspin.

The network’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has set off widespread controversy, with many of Kimmel’s famous friends calling it censorship, while others argue the move was justified.

Kimmel’s show was pulled over his comments about alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson.

“Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views or values of the local communities in which we are located,” Nexstar Media Group’s broadcasting chief, Andrew Alford, said in a press release.

On the show Monday, Kimmel suggested that the 22-year-old Utah man charged for Kirk’s assassination, was part of the “MAGA gang” despite reports he had a left-wing ideology, which was later reaffirmed in Tuesday’s indictment.

Four Arrested After Trump and Epstein Image Projected on Windsor Castle

Giant projections of President Donald Trump alongside convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein were beamed onto Windsor Castle late Tuesday night leading to the arrest of four people.

The arrests were made on “suspicion of malicious communications” after a selection of images featuring the two appeared on the historic landmark ahead of Trump’s arrival for his unprecedented second state visit, Thames Valley Police said.

Trump is the only president to be invited for two state visits, the first being in 2019. The year before that, he met the late Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle during a working visit.

The BBC reports those arrested were a 60-year-old from East Sussex, a 36-year-old and a 50-year-old from London alongside a 37-year-old from Kent.

The force said an investigation was under way after officers responded “swiftly” to stop the projection on the castle, where Trump will meet King Charles during the first full day of his state visit on Wednesday.

The National Guard is Headed to Another Crime Ridden City

Speaking from the Oval Office Monday afternoon, President Donald Trump announced he will deploy the National Guard and federal law enforcement agencies to Memphis, Tennessee.

Trump was flanked by Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and others when he made the announcement.

“For months, I have been in constant communication with the Trump Administration to develop a multi-phased, strategic plan to combat crime in Memphis, leveraging the full extent of both federal and state resources. The next phase will include a comprehensive mission with the Tennessee National Guard, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Tennessee Highway Patrol, Memphis Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies, and we are working closely with the Trump Administration to determine the most effective role for each of these agencies to best serve Memphians,” Governor Lee released in a statement last week.

“Our goal is to accelerate the positive momentum of Operation Viper — an ongoing FBI mission in Memphis with a dedicated task force of federal, state, and local law enforcement that has already arrested hundreds of the most violent offenders. To further support this mission, I have authorized an additional Tennessee Highway Patrol surge in Shelby County, and THP continues to work closely with the Memphis Police Department through the Bluff City Task Force,” he continued. “I’ve been in close contact with the Administration throughout the week, and will be speaking with President Trump this afternoon to work out details of the mission. I’m grateful for the President’s unwavering support and commitment to providing every resource necessary to serve Memphians, and I look forward to working with local officials and law enforcement to continue delivering results. As one of America’s world-class cities, Memphis remains on a path to greatness, and we are not going to let anything hold them back.” (Read more from “The National Guard is Headed to Another Crime Ridden City” HERE)
