What Did Donald Trump Say About MSNBC Host Getting Fired?
Here's what Trump said, how Wallace was drawn into the exchange, and where the broader media dispute stands now.
Donald Trump says MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace will get fired
Donald Trump targeted MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a Truth Social post on Sunday, declaring, 'She is a loser, with bad ratings, who was already thrown off of The View. She will be fired soon! MSNBC IS DEAD!'
The president shared a string of attacks against the media after returning from a five-day trip to Scotland and meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
The exchange began when Trump posted the word 'Bela' without explanation. In response, a user shared a doctored image of Wallace with captions including 'Typhoid Mary Nicole Wallace,' 'Clown News,' and 'Nicole Wallace is afraid of losing her job. Get her a Waaambulance.'
Trump replied directly to the image, amplifying the criticism of Wallace.
Wallace, who currently hosts Deadline: White House on MSNBC, previously served as White House communications director under President George W. Bush and was once a co-host on The View. Trump referred to her past departure from the talk show in his Truth Social remarks.
In another post on the platform, Trump criticized the press coverage of his recent meeting in Alaska with Putin. 'It's incredible how the Fake News violently distorts the TRUTH when it comes to me,' he wrote. 'There is NOTHING I can say or do that would lead them to write or report honestly about me.'
The president also commented on negotiations involving Ukraine, stating that peace talks would require territorial concessions. 'If I got Russia to give up Moscow as part of the Deal, the Fake News, and their PARTNER, the Radical Left Democrats, would say I made a terrible mistake and a very bad deal,' he posted.
His Truth Social post targeting Wallace received over 17,000 likes and nearly 4,000 shares by early Monday.

House Democrat: DC ‘not the safest place in the world'
Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said Sunday that Washington, D.C., is 'not the safest place in the world' amid President Trump's crackdown on crime in the District and pushback from Democrats over the president's actions. 'Both of my children live in Washington, D.C. You know it's not — it's not the safest place in the world,' Smith told NewsNation's Chris Stirewalt on 'The Hill Sunday.' 'And also some of the policies the Democrats advanced around crime over the course of the last 10 or 15 years very clearly did not work. There was not enough transparency and not enough accountability,' he added. Last week, Trump announced he was taking federal control of D.C.'s police department and deploying the National Guard in the city to combat crime. Since then, he has received heavy pushback on his law enforcement moves from Democrats and District residents. On Monday, Mississippi became the fourth Republican -led state to unveil plans to dispatch National Guard troops to D.C. to boost Trump's crackdown on crime in the District. 'I've approved the deployment of approximately 200 Mississippi National Guard Soldiers to Washington, D.C., to support President Trump's effort to return law and order to our nation's capital,' Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) said on the social platform X. Smith said last Tuesday it was 'pretty clear' Trump ''wants his own domestic police force.' 'Look, this president is trampling on basic freedoms of the American people to a degree we — I don't think we've ever seen,' Smith said on CNN. 'You see that with what the ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents are doing, in terms of picking people up off the streets with no evidence, no due process, locking people up.' 'This is happening all across the country,' the Evergreen State Democrat added. 'Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force, and step by step, he's trying to create it, and we should be deeply alarmed by that, regardless of how you feel about crime in Washington, D.C., or any other city.'

Mississippi becomes fourth state to send National Guard troops to D.C. in expanding federal crackdown
Mississippi joins three other states that have pledged to deploy hundreds of National Guard members to the nation's capital to bolster the Republican administration's operation aiming to transform policing in the Democratic-led city through a federal crackdown on crime and homelessness. West Virginia said it was deploying 300 to 400 troops, South Carolina pledged 200 and Ohio said it will send 150 in the coming days, deployments that built on top of President Trump's initial order that 800 National Guard troops deploy as part of the federal intervention. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Trump's executive order that launched the federal operation declared a 'crime emergency' in the District of Columbia and initiated a takeover Washington's police department. The administration has ordered local police to cooperate with federal agents on immigration enforcement, orders that would contradict local laws prohibiting such collaboration. Advertisement 'D.C. has been under siege from thugs and killers, but now, D.C. is back under Federal Control where it belongs,' Trump wrote on his social media website a day after issuing his order. 'The White House is in charge. The Military and our Great Police will liberate this City, scrape away the filth, and make it safe, clean, habitable and beautiful once more!' Advertisement During a Monday news conference, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser pushed back on Trump's characterization of the city and voiced skepticism about the administration's intentions in flooding the capital with troops and federal agents. 'We don't have any authority over the DC Guard or any other guards, but I think it makes the point that this is not about DC crime,' Bowser said of the administration and states deploying National Guard members onto the streets of the capital. 'The focus should be on violent crime,' Bowser continued. 'Nobody is against focusing on driving down any level of violence. And so if this is really about immigration enforcement the administration should make that plain.' National Guard members in the District of Columbia have been assisting law enforcement with tasks including crowd control and patrolling landmarks such as the National Mall and Union Station. Their role has been limited thus far, and it remains unclear why additional troops would be needed. Federal agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Secret Service and other agencies have patrolled high traffic areas around the capital over the last week. ICE officers, who work under the Department of Homeland Security, have made arrests in neighborhoods across the city, dispersed some public gatherings and torn pro-immigrant signs, according to videos published by the administration. The White House has touted various arrests that local police and federal agents have made across the city since Trump's executive order. Federal agents have made 380 arrests in the week since the start of the operation and in some cases issued charges to detained people. The White House has touted the surge of agents on social media and posted pictures of people arrested by local and federal officers. Advertisement 'Washington, DC is getting safer every night thanks to our law enforcement partners,' Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on social media. 'Just this weekend, 137 arrests were made and 21 illegal firearms were seized. In total, there have been nearly 400 arrests—and we are not slowing down.' Amid the crackdown, the administration has received criticism for the conduct of some federal agents, who in several high-profile incidents have arrested people while wearing masks that hide their identity and declined to identify themselves to media or members of the public when questioned. Bowser said Monday that she had asked D.C. Police Chief Pamela Smith to seek answers from the administration about the use of masked police. 'It's very important to us that agents be identified,' Bowser said. 'There's no reason for a law enforcement official to be masked.' Over the weekend in Washington, protesters pushed back on federal law enforcement and National Guard troops fanning out in the city. Scores of protesters gathered in the city's Dupont Circle on Saturday and marched to the White House. — Associated Press writer Jeff Amy in Atlanta contributed to this report.
