Comedian Jim Gaffigan Admits He Has a Regret About His Old Anti-Trump Posts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Superstar stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan recently weighed in on his previous anti-Trump social media posts from 2020, saying he regrets that supporters of President-elect Donald Trump took his criticism personally.

Gaffigan, who recently played former Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., on “Saturday Night Live,” discussed his negative feelings surrounding the old tweets in a new interview with “The Daily Beast.”

“I regret that people think that I was criticizing people that support Trump. And that was never the intention. I regret – someone said like, now I can’t follow you anymore and I kind of said ‘F you’ to them,” the comedian stated.

Gaffigan lashed out at Trump in a series of tweets back in 2020, when X was still Twitter and Trump was running for re-election. In one, he wrote, “Look Trumpers I get it. As a kid I was a cubs fan and I know you stick by your team no matter what but he’s a traitor and a con man who doesn’t care about you. Deep down you know it. I’m sure you enjoy pissing people off but you know Trump is a liar and a criminal.”

In another, he bashed Trump for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, writing, “You know Trump just creates enemies. You know you can’t trust him. You know he been incompetent during this crisis. You know all those people didn’t need to die. Trump talks about the Space Program and you can’t safely go to a movie. Wake up.”

Dr. Marc Siegel, a contributor to Fox News, has delivered a prescription for those who hate President-elect Donald Trump, who believed he was a “Hitler,” who call him evil:

“I have a prescription for that. … Give the man a chance.”

Siegel made the comments this week on the show Outnumbered.

He offered his “prescription for Dems who won’t let go of the idea Trump is evil,” the report said.

Even now, a poll shows 40% of Democrats continue to be “stressed” about 2025 and the looming second term of Trump’s presidency. (Read more from “WATCH: Doctor Delivers Prescription for Trump Haters Enraged Over Election Results” HERE)

WATCH: Trump Trolls Democrats and News Media on Biggest Cover-up of 2024

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is trolling Democrats and the legacy news media as 2024 comes to a close, posting a video compilation of network coverage of perhaps the biggest cover-up of the year: Joe Biden’s failing mental health.

Trump is apparently responding to comments by Jan Crawford of CBS News, who said this week on “Face the Nation” that Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” was the most “under-covered and under-reported” story of 2024.

“It’s starting to emerge now that his advisers kind of managed his limitations, which has been reported in the Wall Street Journal, for four years, and yet he insisted that he could still run for president,” Crawford indicated.

“We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats.

“It could have changed the scope of the entire election.”

Chris Cuomo Says He Felt ‘Satisfaction’ Over Harris Loss After ‘Lefties’ Downplayed Trump Assassination Attempt

/0 Comments/in , /by

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo disclosed Tuesday that he was satisfied by Vice President Kamala Harris’ November loss because of left-wing individuals minimizing the July 13 assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump.

After Trump was shot in the ear while speaking at his rally in Butler Township, Pennsylvania, some on the left downplayed the incident by claiming he was struck by glass fragments from a teleprompter rather than a bullet. Cuomo, on “The Chris Cuomo Project,” expressed disgust and outrage over the reaction, suggesting Harris’ loss was a deserved political consequence.

“What I found completely appalling and outrageous was how unimpressed lefties were by Trump getting shot in the head and how many of you would say, ‘Will you stop saying he got shot in the head? It just nicked his ear.’ Once again, to my earlier point: f**k you. You get nicked in the ear by a bullet and tell me that it’s ‘No big deal. I’m good. I’m good.’ Nah, nah. That’s crazy,” Cuomo said. “If that had happened to Harris, you guys would have talked about it for three days nonstop about how we’re in Helter Skelter mode or whatever it is. And then you go and call me a bigot for saying that. This is why you lost the election. That’s exactly why you lost the election.”

“You are out of touch. You lost the plot about how people feel in the majority. That’s what you did, and that was a perfect example of it, that situation. ‘Oh, I think it was just a teleprompter.’ You would have never assessed it that way if you didn’t wish the guy had died,” he continued. “How fucked up up is that? That you wished he had died? That you play down that he was shot at? It was disgusting. And I, for one, felt a measure of satisfaction that you were punished for it politically because there is no place for that. ‘Oh, he would have.’ He is not the standard of any kind of virtue, okay? And he still beat you.” (Read more from “Chris Cuomo Says He Felt ‘Satisfaction’ Over Harris Loss After ‘Lefties’ Downplayed Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Trump Endorses Speaker Johnson Amid Fight for His Gavel; Gaetz Declares ‘Resistance Is Now Futile’ After Trump Endorses Johnson for Speaker — But Massie, Others Remain Unmoved

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President-elect Donald Trump endorsed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) Monday morning after leaving Johnson twisting in the wind for 11 days.

Trump posted a 232-word soliloquy on Truth Social touting his electoral romp and attacking Democrats for weaponizing the government against him.

At the very end, he endorsed Johnson for speaker, using his boilerplate endorsement language:

LETS NOT BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. The American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all of the destructive policies of the last Administration. Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!!!

Trump left Johnson twisting in the wind after December 19, when Johnson failed to deliver on Trump’s desire to lift the debt ceiling as part of a government spending deal. Reports that Trump fumed from Mar-a-Lago, coupled with Trump’s silence as criticism against Johnson rose, cast doubts on Trump’s commitment to Johnson.

Gaetz Declares ‘Resistance Is Now Futile’ After Donald Trump Endorses Mike Johnson for Speaker — But Massie, Others Remain Unmoved

By New York Post. Former firebrand Rep. Matt Gaetz, who instigated the House GOP toppling of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year, declared that resistance to House Speaker Mike Johnson “is now futile” in the wake of President-elect Donald Trump’s endorsement.

But that and Trump’s endorsement did nothing to pacify Johnson’s most outspoken House critic, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), who had come out in opposition to his speakership bid.

“I respect and support President Trump, but his endorsement of Mike Johnson is going to work out about as well as his endorsement of Speaker Paul Ryan,” Massie replied on X, posting an image of an article detailing Trump’s past support for former House GOP leader Ryan.

“We’ve seen Johnson partner with the democrats to send money to Ukraine, authorize spying on Americans, and blow the budget.”

Massie, 53, who endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the 2024 GOP primary and feuded with Trump in the past, has been peeved at Johnson’s handling of spending fights and last week promised to vote for another speaker.

‘Treacherous’: Trump Slams ‘Dumbest’ Political Decision Made in Years

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President-elect Donald Trump is demanding Democrats take a vote on the U.S. debt ceiling immediately, saying the extension of the ceiling is “one of the dumbest political decisions made in years.”

In a statement Sunday evening on Truth Social, Trump indicated:

“The extension of the Debt Ceiling by a previous Speaker of the House, a good man and a friend of mine, from this past September of the Biden Administration, to June of the Trump Administration, will go down as one of the dumbest political decisions made in years.

“There was no reason to do it – NOTHING WAS GAINED, and we got nothing for it – A major reason why that Speakership was lost. (Read more from “‘Treacherous’: Trump Slams ‘Dumbest’ Political Decision Made in Years” HERE)

New Poll Shows How Americans Feel About Trump’s Plan to Put Illegal Aliens in Militarized Camps

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration promises are popular among a wide swath of Republican voters, according to a new survey released earlier this month.

Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) published the findings of a survey that analyzed, among other things, how voters feel about the idea of placing illegal immigrants into militarized encampments as they await deportation.

The PRRI survey found that about 46 percent of Republican voters support such a policy. About 19 percent of Independents and eight percent of Democrats agree. Overall, about a quarter (26 percent) of Americans support this approach.

On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly promised to use the U.S., military to round up illegal immigrants and put them in detention camps using the Alien Enemies Act. His pledge came as the nation is facing a continual crisis at the southern border with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants and asylum seekers trying to enter the country.

These numbers represent a significant drop from when PRRI conducted a similar survey in May 2024. Back then, about 47 percent of all Americans supported militarized camps for illegal immigrants, including 79 percent of Republicans and 47 percent of Independents. Almost a quarter of Democrats (22 percent) agreed with the policy. (Read more from “New Poll Shows How Americans Feel About Trump’s Plan to Put Illegal Aliens in Militarized Camps” HERE)

Report: Trump Team Orders Cabinet Nominees to Cease Social Media Posts Ahead of Confirmation Hearings

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is ordering cabinet nominees to cease all social media posts ahead of their confirmation hearings, according to reports.

The New York Post first reported this directive, noting that Susie Wiles, Trump’s former campaign manager and incoming chief of staff, sent out the order on Sunday. In the memo, she also noted that none of the nominees speak for Trump.

“While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself,” Wiles wrote, urging nominees to “refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel.”

The Post confirmed that nominees seem to have been adhering to the ask, which was delivered December 29:

Those who could face tough questioning — such as former Democrats like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, tapped to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of National Intelligence, respectively — have also quieted down since Christmas.

Trump States Where He Stands on H-1B Visas

/0 Comments/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump has announced his position on the H-1B visa, which imports hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, mainly from India, to work specialty occupations. His statements starkly contrast his first term, where he emphasized the need to prioritize American workers and “America First” policies. His first administration implemented several measures, including stricter eligibility criteria, increased scrutiny of applications, and reduced visa approvals, to ensure that American workers were not displaced or underpaid.

Trump said he has many H-1B visas employed on his properties and believes in the “great” program.

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas,” Trump told the New York Post. “That’s why we have them.”

Trump, who was previously critical of foreign worker visas during his first administration, agreed with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who argued that the program is crucial for enabling American companies to access highly skilled labor that may be scarce within the U.S. workforce and should be expanded to meet growing demands.

Trump Asks SCOTUS to Pause TikTok Ban ‘To Pursue a Negotiated Resolution’

/1 Comment/in , /by

President-elect Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court on Friday to pause an impending ban on the Chinese-owned social media platform TikTok.

Trump’s legal team filed a friend-of-the-court brief requesting the justices pause TikTok’s ban, due to go into effect on January 19, to give the president-elect time to negotiate a deal to keep the platform operating in the United States. The effort to ban TikTok gained bipartisan support earlier this year as critics accused the platform of threatening U.S. national security by collecting data on Americans.

In April, Congress passed and President Joe Biden signed legislation that included a ban on TikTok unless the social media platform can meet the terms outlined in the legislation, namely being sold off from its parent company, ByteDance. The legislation gave the social media platform 270 days to comply with the chance of an additional 90 days if the Biden administration assesses that ByteDance has made meaningful progress toward a sale.

TikTok sued the government over the ban, claiming that it violates the First Amendment.

“President Trump takes no position on the merits of the dispute,” Trump’s team wrote in its brief. “Instead, he urges the Court to stay the statute’s effective date to allow his incoming Administration to pursue a negotiated resolution that could prevent a nationwide shutdown of TikTok, thus preserving the First Amendment rights of tens of millions of Americans, while also addressing the government’s national security concerns.” (Read more from “Trump Asks SCOTUS to Pause TikTok Ban ‘To Pursue a Negotiated Resolution’” HERE)
