'Fiasco': Alex Jones in disbelief as Trump's 'ceasefire falling apart'

04/08/26 6:33 PM

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones declared President Donald Trump's war in Iran to be a "fiasco" after concluding that a ceasefire was "falling apart."During a Wednesday interview with conservative author Michael Savage, Jones noted that Trump's approval ratings were plunging amid the war in Iran."But admitting this is a big defeat so far for the U.S. The problem is we keep staying in there, in my view, it only gets worse," Jones noted. "And they've got thousands of people that are related to Muhammad that can be the mullah. And each one you get worse than the next. And Trump keeps saying, oh, I've got people I can work with now.""And then, of course, he can't. And now the ceasefire is falling apart. And so this is a disaster in my view," he added. "Now they've closed this [Strait of Hormuz] again. As I predicted this morning, it's all off, and just — this is a fiasco. It's like watching a Three Stooges movie, but they got nuclear weapons. So that's my take."

'Insulting!' Karoline Leavitt snaps as Trump's 'civilization' threat questioned

04/08/26 6:06 PM

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed back after a reporter wondered how the U.S. could claim the moral high ground after President Donald Trump threatened to eliminate Iran's entire civilization."So, regarding the President's rhetoric, when the U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, George W. Bush said in a message to the Iraqi people that the military campaign was directed, quote, against the lawless men who rule your country and not against you," the reporter noted during Wednesday's White House press briefing. "Yesterday, the President threatened to destroy Iran's civilization, the entire civilization, not the Iranian government, but the Iranian civilization, the Iranian people.""The U.S. has been a moral leader for most of its history by fighting wars against other governments, not against civilizations," he continued. "How can the president claim that America can ever have the moral high ground if he's threatening to destroy civilizations and not casting wars as fights against other governments?""I think you should take a look at the actions of this president," Leavitt replied without addressing Trump's threat. "A rogue Islamic regime that has chanted death to America for 47 years, that has killed and maimed thousands of American soldiers over the course of the last five decades.""The president absolutely has the moral high ground over the Iranian terrorist regime," she added. "And for you to even suggest otherwise is frankly insulting."With that, Leavitt cut the reporter off and moved on to the next question.

'Not good for Republicans': MAGA host warns of 'early indicator' after Trump-district loss

04/08/26 3:03 PM

MAGA host Gina Loudon said she found it "very upsetting" after Democrat Emily Gregory defeated a Trump-endorsed candidate in the district where the president's Mar-a-Lago home is located.During a discussion about a special election to fill former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) seat in Georgia, Loudon said she couldn't shake off Gregory's win in Florida."Don't forget, too, the race that just happened in Florida, where the Trump-endorsed candidate did not win," Loudon recalled. "The race was seen as an early indicator heading into the midterms, highlighting both Republican strength and conservative strongholds and signs of Democrat momentum in areas where they have traditionally struggled.""Donald Trump is never going to retreat from doing presidential things," she said of Trump endorsements. "And I think even beyond his death, this man will somehow be doing presidential things."Co-host David Brody observed that Trump's influence could be waning because the Democratic candidate performed well in Georgia."A little bit of a warning signal here for Republicans," he said. "That's a tea leaf that is not good for Republicans."Loudon insisted she couldn't get over Jon Maples' loss in Trump's home district."John Maples, an amazing black conservative," she remarked. "And I hate using that, but I'm just saying he was very marketable in many ways to, let's just say, independents, right? More moderate voters. And he was Trump-endorsed, and he lost here in Florida.""But very upsetting to those like me who think, this is Trump's home district, this is where I live, and this is where President Trump's house is, his home is," she added. "Very upsetting to me that we lost this race. We really thought we had it won."
