MAGA’s Latin America power broker arrested in Bolivian murder-for-hire plot

Argentine political consultant Fernando Cerimedo, once celebrated as the ‘MAGA Man’ of Latin America for shaping right‑wing campaigns and spreading Trump‑style messaging, has been jailed in Bolivia on allegations he masterminded a murder‑for‑hire plot against his pregnant mistress, Nadia Beller. Prosecutors say he orchestrated the ambush outside a Santa Cruz hotel after she threatened to reveal his alleged criminal conduct and abuse; he denies wrongdoing and faces further probes for illegal enrichment and possible cocaine links as former allies distance themselves and his inflated, sometimes false, biography is exposed.

Trump Defends USS Lincoln, Calls CNN Reports Fake News

President Donald Trump dismissed CNN reporting on the USS Lincoln’s living conditions, claiming anonymous witnesses supported a veteran’s account and labeling the coverage as fake news. The Lincoln has been at sea for more than 250 days—the longest modern carrier deployment—while Navy Times and Stars and Stripes corroborate shortages and plumbing issues. Sailors’ families and Democratic lawmakers are pressing for Pentagon accountability amid prolonged deployment and mounting concerns, with The Guardian noting families’ distress over the situation.

Trump touts 'real polling numbers' but offers no proof

Trump blasted media polls as 'fake' and claimed he has 'REAL Polling Numbers' that are the best ever, but provided no data or sources. Independent surveys still place his approval in the low- to mid-30s (AP-NORC around 32%, Fox News around 39%), reflecting waning support amid ongoing Iran tensions and high gas prices. He has a history of praising favorable polls while dismissing unfavorable ones, complicating the narrative around his job performance and GOP standing.

Trump targets media with sharp barbs at WHCA dinner, mixed with rare warmth

At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Trump delivered a mix of cordial moments and sharp jabs at the media, calling some outlets “fake news” and joking about “Trump Derangement Syndrome” while praising press freedom. The event, scaled down after last year’s interruption by a shooting, included awards to reporters (including a Wall Street Journal team on Epstein links) and a salute to the Secret Service officer who intervened. Security was tight, attendees noted, and Trump hinted at a 2028 run as he teased the room with humor and continued friction with the press.
