Experts See Narcissistic Collapse Behind Trump's Long Truth Social Rant

Experts say Trump's sprawling Truth Social tirade against former allies such as Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene signals narcissistic collapse—a threatened self-image triggering rage, devaluation of others, and grandiosity—though it is not a formal diagnosis. Psychologists describe both overt and covert patterns (attacking appearance or intelligence, shifting blame, seeking external validation) and advise bystanders to disengage, set boundaries, and prioritize personal well-being.

Carlson’s favorability plummets as Trump lashes out

A YouGov poll commissioned by UMass-Lowell finds Tucker Carlson’s overall favorability at 17% (38% unfavorable, 33% neutral), with Republicans at 31% favorable. Trump then attacked Carlson on social media as a “broken man,” signaling ongoing strain between the two and suggesting Carlson’s standing with conservatives could fall further; a prior December 2025 Manhattan Institute poll had shown stronger GOP support for Carlson.

White House pressure campaign fails to derail Indiana Senate primary candidate

White House aides pressed Alexandra Wilson to withdraw from Indiana’s state Senate primary to help Trump-backed Brenda Wilson defeat Greg Goode, offering possible administration roles and warning of personal attacks. Over several February days, multiple White House staffers and allied groups contacted Wilson, but she stayed in the race. A legal challenge to disqualify her ultimately left her on the ballot, highlighting how national political pressure can seep into local elections.

Trump’s Iran Exit Plan Fails to Mend GOP Rifts Amid War Politics

Trump’s plan to end U.S. involvement in Iran isn’t healing rifts within the GOP; while the ceasefire is praised by some, others warn of domestic costs and political risk ahead of the midterms, and Democrats push for further war-powers oversight even as Republicans back air strikes more than troop deployment, underscoring a party divided over how to handle foreign policy and its domestic implications.

Trump champions Palantir’s war-fighting role as bear bets mount

US President Donald Trump publicly praised Palantir’s war-fighting capabilities after bearish bets from investor Michael Burry and a challenge from Anthropic, sending Palantir’s shares higher briefly; the stock’s path remains pressured despite ongoing multibillion-dollar government contracts with DHS and ICE, underscoring Palantir’s prominence in U.S. defense and immigration operations.

Trump’s 250-Foot Independence Arch Sparks Legal, Legislative Hurdles in D.C.

The Trump administration unveiled renderings for a 250-foot ‘Independence Arch’ to be built at Memorial Circle near Arlington National Cemetery, featuring a 166-foot main arch, two 24-foot golden eagles, a 60-foot golden Lady Liberty, a 55-foot-wide interior arch, gold inscriptions, and two viewing decks. The project would require approval under the Commemorative Works Act and congressional authorization, and it faces a lawsuit by Public Citizen arguing the process wasn’t followed. Supporters frame it as commemorating the 250th anniversary of Independence, while critics warn of legal and procedural hurdles. Trump says donations from his ballroom project would fund it, and federal budget talk includes potential funding from NEH; the Interior Department has filed renderings with the Commission of Fine Arts for review next week.

Melania Trump’s Epstein denial stirs questions about motive and timing

Melania Trump publicly denies any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, stating she and Donald Trump were invited to the same parties but she had no relationship; the statement, delivered as Washington focuses on the Iran situation, left reporters baffled about the motive and whether Trump knew in advance. The episode highlights ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s circle, with past ties noted (she attended Epstein events, including at Mar-a-Lago) and a 2002 email exchange with Maxwell later referenced in reporting.

Trump’s 250-Foot Arch Plan Sparks Skyline Debate and Legal Challenges

New renderings reveal President Trump’s plan for a 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, D.C., intended to commemorate the United States’ 250th anniversary. The project would dwarf landmarks like the Lincoln Memorial and is now moving through formal approval processes while facing lawsuits from military veterans who argue it would alter key views of Arlington National Cemetery. Critics worry the arch could reshape the skyline and memorial landscape, even as planners seek reviews from the Commission of Fine Arts.

Trump’s Iran War Plan Backfired: Hubris, No Uprising, Big Costs

Trump’s Iran War Plan Backfired: Hubris, No Uprising, Big Costs

The Daily Beast reports that Trump believed strikes on Tehran would spark a rapid uprising and end the Iran conflict within days, dismissed warnings from intelligence and allies, and underestimated the strategic danger of the Strait of Hormuz. The plan dragged on longer than anticipated, contributed to higher gas prices, and strained NATO ties as allies pushed back; even CIA efforts to arm Iranian dissidents failed, exposing a broader miscalculation at the top of U.S. war planning.

Peru’s pro-Trump frontrunner stalls as election nears

Peru’s presidential race features 35 candidates, but Rafael Lopez Aliaga, once the frontrunner with a pro‑Trump stance, has slipped to about 7% and is unlikely to reach a June runoff, as Keiko Fujimori leads in polls. Analysts say Trump’s endorsement is not decisive for most Peruvians, who remain focused on domestic issues and distrust the US more than China, making Aliaga’s late alignment with Trump a potential risk rather than a boost in this highly unpredictable contest.

CMS retracts Mehmet Oz fraud claim after NY Medicaid miscount revealed

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services admitted that Mehmet Oz’s claim that New York’s Medicaid provided around 5 million people with personal care services was incorrect. The actual number was about 450,000 (roughly 6–7% of enrollees), due to a billing-code misinterpretation. CMS said it will refine its methodology and continue the fraud probe as part of a broader anti-fraud effort across states, with New York officials and Gov. Hochul insisting Oz’s mischaracterizations were inaccurate.

Trump-backed Hilton and Sheriff Bianco wage bruising California GOP governor showdown

Trump-endorsed Steve Hilton and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco lead California’s crowded GOP bid for governor, trading harsh attacks on immigration, election integrity, and governance as the June primary approaches under California’s top-two system. The race, which could snap Democrats’ long dominance if a Republican wins, is further complicated by Bianco’s past ballot-seizure probe and Hilton’s national profile, while both tout similar agenda items (spending, crime, and immigration). Democrats worry about a split or a late surge that could leave them shut out of the November race.
