Wall Street can't wait for Trump to crash and burn: economist

Wall Street can't wait for Trump to crash and burn: economist Economic journalist and author Hamish McRae reports that Wall Street is not so secretly praying for President Donald Trump to get toppled. "Big money here in America will welcome it if Donald Trump is roughed up by voters in the US midterm elections, now less than two weeks away," said McRae, who pointed out that news is focused on the size of Trump and Republicans' drubbing and not its economic benefit to financial markets.

Biographer warns Trump's 'aggression' just caught him in a trap

Biographer warns Trump's 'aggression' just caught him in a trap A biographer for President Donald Trump says Trump is incapable of tempering his aggression to make an effective attack anymore. Michael Wolff is a longtime author and reporter best known for his extensive coverage of Trump's political career, including several books about his first term and another about his return to office. In the latest episode of his Daily Beast podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," he explained the motivation that may have led to Trump getting himself painfully deposed in court -- and potentially submitting damaging information before a jury.

America's economic death spiral isn't about the math --it's all on Trump

America's economic death spiral isn't about the math --it's all on Trump President Donald Trump has added $2 trillion to America's budget deficit in 2026, swelling the ballooning debt to $40 trillion. Even as economists continue to express alarm about the daunting math, a top economist argued on Wednesday that the deeper issue is in fact Trump himself. People do not trust him because of things like him running up the deficit, and that impacts the economy.

Trump official abruptly flees DC before 'avalanche' of investigations

Trump official abruptly flees DC before 'avalanche' of investigations An appointee of President Donald Trump -- who once recused himself from overseeing Trump's controversial slush fund because he'd planned to tap it for himself -- is headed out, sources tell Bloomberg Law. "The Justice Department's top Capitol Hill liaison, Patrick Davis, is stepping down ahead of an anticipated rush of congressional oversight if Democrats win control of at least one chamber," reports Bloomberg Law. "Davis, a seasoned Republican investigator in both the Senate and House, will resign at the end of October -- one year after he was sworn in to lead DOJ's Office of Legislative Affairs, said three people familiar with the matter.

Cornered Trump demands miracles from agency he gutted

Cornered Trump demands miracles from agency he gutted After extending some of the deepest tax cuts in U.S. history, and mounting some of the nation's biggest bills, President Donald Trump's government is now hard up for cash. The Wall Street Journal reports the Trump administration now wants to "bulk up its antifraud" push by pursuing tax charges on illicit gains, but that effort "risks running up against its own budget cuts."

From 'shopping cart' chaos to nuclear codes: Trump's psychological red flags

From 'shopping cart' chaos to nuclear codes: Trump's psychological red flags President Donald Trump's behavior is, regardless of what one thinks of his political views, "ominous," at least according to one expert. "Donald Trump is a 'puppet' to psychopathic traits that are likely to become even more dangerous if Republicans suffer a bruising defeat in next month's midterm elections, a leading clinical psychologist has warned," reported The Daily Beast's Farrah Tomazin on Wednesday. "Dr. Vincent Greenwood, director of the Washington Center for Cognitive Therapy, also believes the president's danger is underestimated and warrants invoking the 25th Amendment."

'Not going to happen': Fox News has bad news for Trump

'Not going to happen': Fox News has bad news for Trump On Wednesday, a guest on Fox News had some bad news for President Donald Trump, who is desperately hoping for fuel prices to come down. But according to Kevin Mahn, Chief Investment Officer at the wealth management firm Hennion and Walsh, it's not going to happen. "Oil is the largest overarching concern I have for right now," said Mahn, "because I think a lot of investors assume once we get to the midterm elections and pass them, somehow the Strait of Hormuz is going to magically open and oil prices are going to start to come down. And I don't think it's going to happen that quickly. And if we continue to see a trade above $100, then the Federal Reserve is going to think they have to do something."

Elon Musk just crossed a dangerous line

Elon Musk just crossed a dangerous line The Wall Street Journal and CBS News confirmed that Elon Musk was involved in the decision to stall out Starshield, the military version of Starlink, when Ukraine needed it most. As Russia launched its biggest attack since the invasion, Musk "capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, the people said, rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless," the Journal said.

Nicolle Wallace left stunned as former official lists Trump's concessions

Nicolle Wallace left stunned as former official lists Trump's concessions President Donald Trump's increasingly cozy relationship with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has drawn bipartisan outrage as well as criticism from the military, and a former State Department official recently explained why: It's complicated, but can be understood if you break down each part. "We've seen that, Nicolle, for the better part of 10 years now: Take just the most recent example today: the release of Stephen Hubbard, something we all celebrate," former State Department official Ned Price told MS NOW anchor Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday. "Donald Trump, of course, is out there heralding this, as any president would, but then also going on to make the point that his administration gave Russia nothing in return. I think he actually used those words explicitly: 'nothing in return.'"

Trump admin triggers showdown with furious judge

Trump admin triggers showdown with furious judge Judges, which for years have largely been in accord with federal prosecutors, have found themselves having to take remarkable steps to force compliance with Trump administration attorneys and prosecutors. The Trump administration is apparently well aware of judges' increasingly strong-armed tactics to force compliance out of its defiant attorneys and prosecutors -- and they want the hammer to stop dropping, reports Law and Crime.
