Donald Trump has responded to a recent podcast appearance by Robert De Niro, in which he called the president “an idiot”.
Speaking on Monday’s episode of The Best People with Nicole Wallace, De Niro, who has long criticised the politics, morals and competence of Trump, said: “He’s an idiot. We gotta get rid of him. He’s gonna ruin the country.”
He added:“ I don’t want everybody going around with their Maga, the American flags, like they’re the only ones. We are Americans too.”
A self-proclaimed ‘scholar of the far right’ was blasted on social media after she ‘fled’ the United States to Canada.
Nope Brigade is an academic researcher who studies conservative and right-wing ideologies, and recently ‘fled’ from the current Trump administration to Vancouver – one of the world’s priciest cities.
Brigade posted a social media video begging for help after she and her family moved from Los Angeles, only to be hit with an even worse affordability crisis.
Or she and her partner and their cat and their dog could turn around and go back to the US, where they can afford to live and get health care. What kind of imbeciles are they? @fancypants_s https://t.co/5mt3BIoHDN

The crazed gunman who was shot dead after trying to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gas can has been identified as a North Carolina artist who was reported missing by his mom.
Austin Tucker Martin, 21, of Cameron, North Carolina, was killed by law enforcement in the early hours of Sunday morning, law enforcement sources told The Post.
He was reported missing by his family to authorities on Saturday.
One weird kid.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Secret Service announced Sunday that an armed man was shot and killed after entering the secure perimeter of Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Although Trump often spends weekends at his resort, he was at the White House during this incident. First lady Melania Trump was also with the president at the White House on Saturday night.
🚨BREAKING: Armed man shot and killed after he entered Mar a Lago. He had what appeared to be a shotgun and gas can. Appeared to be in his early 20’s.

What do you do when you’re living next door to a fascist state?
The United States has collapsed into fascism. Only naiveté blocks this conclusion. And to paraphrase Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, naiveté is not a strategy.
The future is always uncertain, as the heroic people of Minneapolis have shown the world. But as with Russia, we must expect that it is possible the United States will remain fascist far into the future. As with naiveté, hope is also not a strategy.
This is next level TDS written by that college dorm kid who just started smoking weed and is flipping out.
A 3,000-word “news analysis” by New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker on Trump’s supposed cult of personality was headlined cheekily: “A Superman, Jedi and Pope — Trump’s Relentless Bid to Mythologize Himself.”
The online version was more insulting: “Trump’s Relentless Self-Promotion Fosters an American Cult of Personality– President Trump has engaged in a spree of self-aggrandizement unlike any of his predecessors, fostering a mythologized superhuman persona and making himself the inescapable force at home and around the world.”
In recent months, anti-Americanism has emerged yet again as a respectable prejudice in Europe. It is widely promoted through the mainstream media and enthusiastically endorsed by the continent’s cultural elites. There are now even numerous campaigns to boycott American goods – most respondents to a survey in France said they would support a boycott of US brands like Tesla, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. As a piece in Euractiv put it, anti-Americanism is ‘in vogue across Europe’.
LONDON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s $10 billion lawsuit against the BBC can go to trial in 2027, a U.S. judge has said.
Judge Roy K. Altman of the federal court for the Southern District of Florida rejected an attempt by Britain’s national broadcaster to delay proceedings.
He set a provisional start date of Feb. 15 2027 for a two-week trial. Altman’s court order was issued Wednesday.
Trump filed a lawsuit in December over the way the BBC edited a speech he gave on Jan. 6, 2021. The claim seeks $5 billion in damages for defamation and $5 billion for unfair trade practices.
Donald Trump personally called the police chief of Palm Beach, Fla., in 2006 to thank him for investigating Jeffrey Epstein — and told him to “focus on” the disgraced financier’s “evil” accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a newly released FBI document.
According to the summary of an October 2019 interview of Michael Reiter, who served as the wealthy Florida enclave’s top cop from 2001 to 2009, the future president was “one of the very first people to call when people found out” that authorities were investigating Epstein for sex with girls as young as 14 whom he had hired to give him massages.
The uproar over the Trump video tells you more about the left’s narrative machine than it does about what actually happened. What they want you to see is “Trump posts racist monkey video about the Obamas.” What they do not want you to see is context, intent, or basic honesty about how the clip ended up on his Truth Social feed in the first place.
The media lied about Trump? I’m shocked.

A man who plotted to kill Donald J. Trump at one of his Florida golf courses during the 2024 election campaign was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday, the maximum penalty for attempting to assassinate a presidential candidate.
Ryan W. Routh, 59, an itinerant building contractor from North Carolina, sat quietly as Judge Aileen M. Cannon of the Federal District Court in Fort Pierce, Fla., announced his sentence.
A 12-member jury convicted Mr. Routh last September after an unusual, lopsided trial in which Mr. Routh represented himself. The jury also found him guilty of assaulting a federal officer for pointing his semiautomatic rifle at a Secret Service agent, and of several firearm violations. Mr. Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after the verdict was read in court.
The legacy media are eating crow once more now that Melania has scored the best box office opening for a documentary in a decade.
Over and over, Trump supporters were taunted by the corporate media about empty theaters, an imminent box office humiliation, and zero advance ticket sales.
Well, reality has once again debunked these serial liars.
President Trump has threatened to sue discredited author Michael Wolff, as well as the estate of Jeffrey Epstein — as he insists that the latest mass dump of files related to the pedophile financier absolves him.
“I didn’t see it myself but I was told by some very important people that not only does it absolve me, it’s the opposite of what people were hoping, you know, the radical left,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he flew to Florida late Saturday night.
The new narrative about U.S. politics is that this is the week when the tide finally turned against U.S. President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
It’s certainly not the end of MAGA, not even the beginning of the end. But, with apologies to Winston Churchill, perhaps it’s at least the end of the beginning in the long-awaited pushback against the authoritarianism (or worse) that has run wild in the United States for the past year.
Those of us still holding out hope that America may pull itself back from the brink of total disaster desperately want to believe this is true. But is it?
It’s the Star so hoping this is the end of border security and laws is entirely reasonable.
Under Donald Trump, the White House has filled its social media with memes, wishcasting, nostalgia and deepfakes. Here’s what you need to know to navigate the trolling
