Trump’s Border Chief SHUTS DOWN Heckler After MS-13 Insult | Dares Heckler to Come on Stage to Fight

Trump border czar Tom Homan delivered a fiery speech at a Florida student summit, clashing with a heckler and promising to lead the “biggest deportation operation ever”. After a heckler asked if he was part of MS-13, Homan fired back, calling him a “loser” who lives in his mom’s basement. Defending ICE agents as “America’s finest 1%,” Homan declared he won’t back down. His aggressive defense of Trump’s immigration policy drew cheers and chants of “U-S-A” from the crowd, as Homan promised: “Tom Homan isn’t going anywhere.” #TomHoman #Immigration #Deportation #ICE #StudentSummit #USPolitics #AmericaFirst #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalSpeech #FloridaEvent #USAChants #ProtestDrama #Heckler #TrumpSupporters #GOP #Patriotism #HomelandSecurity #HomanSpeech #BorderControl #USNews #TrumpRally ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X [Video]

Trump In Epstein Trouble: Obama Ready To KNOCK OUT Trump Ahead Of Midterms | Musk Snubs Trump On X

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base. The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue. Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections. This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics. #DonaldTrump #MAGA #USPolitics #BreakingNews #OneindiaNews #EpsteinFiles #Obama #PamBondi #LatestNews #Politics #TrumpInEpsteinTrouble Also Read Trump Imposes 35% Tariff On Canadian Goods; Threatens More In Case of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-imposes-35-tarifss-on-canadian-goods-threatens-more-in-case-of-retaliation-7797777.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Slaps 50% Tariff On Brazil Over 'Witch Hunt' Trial Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-brazil-over-witch-hunt-trial-against-bolsonaro-011-7796631.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters. #Trump #TexasFloods #FlashFloodAlley #TrumpVsReporter #FEMA #GregAbbott #CrisisResponse #TrumpSlamsReporter #TexasDisaster #FloodWarnings #Evacuation #TexasHillCountry #DisasterFunding #ClimateCrisis #TrumpRoundtable #FloodVictims #KerrCounty #MediaScrutiny #RepublicanDefense #FloodPreparedness ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Matt Gaetz Tipped To Replace Pam Bondi As Attorney General?  Epstein Scandal ROCKS MAGA World [Video]

Matt Gaetz Tipped To Replace Pam Bondi As Attorney General? Epstein Scandal ROCKS MAGA World

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a “client list.” FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow. As calls for Bondi’s resignation grow louder, Santos’ viral X post—"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"—fueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondi’s actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epstein’s intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily.

‘Pam Bondi Should RESIGN!’ AG Pam Bondi Under FIRE Over Epstein Files Fallout As MAGA Base Erupts [Video]

‘Pam Bondi Should RESIGN!’ AG Pam Bondi Under FIRE Over Epstein Files Fallout As MAGA Base Erupts

Pam Bondi is facing intense backlash from MAGA loyalists following the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that there is no “Epstein client list.” The admission contradicts Bondi’s claim that such a list existed and was “on her desk,” a statement she made on Fox News in February. MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer, Liz Wheeler, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized Bondi, accusing her of either ignorance or laziness. Sources say FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning after a heated dispute with Bondi, while FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit. Internal friction has escalated into a full-blown crisis, with calls for Bondi’s resignation intensifying across conservative media. This debacle comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein documents and rising frustration that key files remain unreleased. The fallout could result in a major shakeup within the DOJ and Trump-aligned circles, with Bondi at the center of the storm. #PamBondi #EpsteinFiles #MAGA #Trump2025 #DanBongino #KashPatel #DOJ #FBI #JeffreyEpstein #FoxNews #ResignationDemand #MegynKelly #LizWheeler #LauraLoomer #Defamation #EpsteinList #Scandal #ConservativeMedia #PoliticalCrisis #WhiteHouse ~ED.346~HT.408~

‘Trump Is A R*Pist’ AOC Vs Trump EXPLODES As AOC Calls Trump A ‘R*pist’ In Epstein Post

U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignited a firestorm by calling Donald Trump a “Rapist” in a social media post referencing Jeffrey Epstein. The remark, made on X, accused Trump of obstructing the release of Epstein-related files during his presidency. The post went viral, drawing immediate outrage from Trump’s supporters, with many labeling the comment defamatory. Conservative voices, including Laura Loomer, invoked precedent from a recent $15 million defamation settlement involving ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Critics argue Trump has never been criminally convicted of Rape, and AOC’s post could open the door to legal action. The controversy is unfolding alongside renewed scrutiny of the Epstein case, where the DOJ recently denied the existence of a “client list” and reaffirmed Epstein’s death as suicide. AOC has not yet responded to the backlash. #aoc #donaldtrump #trumpnews #maga #jeffreyepstein #epsteinfiles #aoccontroversy #trumpdefamation #lauraloomer #georgestephanopoulos #breakingnews #politicalnews #usa #xpost #congressnews #defamationcase #civiltrial #ejeancarroll #epsteinupdate #trumplawsuit ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

Kash Patel CRUSHES Resignation Buzz, Swears Loyalty To Trump, SLAMS Epstein Conspiracy Lies

FBI Chief Kash Patel has firmly denied widespread speculation about his resignation, calling the rumors “conspiracy theories” and pledging unwavering loyalty to President Donald Trump. In a viral post on X, Patel wrote, “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President... and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.” The statement comes amid MAGA-world turmoil over Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein Files and swirling reports that top officials, including Dan Bongino and Patel himself, were ready to quit. Patel’s firm rebuttal is a major signal of unity in Trump’s inner circle, especially after George Santos’ viral post speculating on Matt Gaetz replacing Bondi. As Trump’s administration faces growing scrutiny, Patel’s loyalty appears rock-solid — and his denial could help quash internal rebellion rumors and redirect focus back to Trump's re-election priorities. #KashPatel #Trump2024 #FBI #PamBondi #EpsteinFiles #MattGaetz #GeorgeSantos #MAGA #ResignationRumors #FakeNews #DOJ #Bongino #BreakingNews #USPolitics #TrumpAdmin #EpsteinConspiracy #WhiteHouseDrama #TrumpLoyalists #DeepState #MAGAUnity
