Axelrod: Trump ‘created the crisis' with tariffs, ‘tried to take credit for the rally'
Veteran Democratic strategist David Axelrod said President Trump claiming credit for rallying the stock market after sending it into chaos for several days with his shifting tariff policies is an example of the president's branding tactics that have elevated him through the years as a businessman. 'I mean, he created the crisis and then tried to take credit for the rally at the end of the day,' Axelrod said during a Wednesday night appearance on CNN's 'Erin Burnett OutFront.' 'He believes that you can sell your own narrative.' Trump abruptly paused his sweeping tariffs on imports from most countries Wednesday — a week after he announced his plan and the day they went into effect. The news immediately rallied investors and put markets on a clear positive path for the first time since the president unveiled the hefty tariff strategy during a Rose Garden ceremony. Trump celebrated the stock market swing following news of his 90-day pause, which he announced online in a post on the Truth Social platform. 'I guess they say it was the biggest day in financial history,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday. 'Nobody's ever heard of it. It's going to be a record.' Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, also said people, including the White House press corps, had underestimated the president's negotiating prowess. 'Many of you in the media clearly missed the art of the deal. You clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here,' she said. 'You tried to say the rest of the world would be moved closer to China, when in fact, we've seen the opposite effect.' Axelrod, a chief political analyst at CNN and podcast host, compared the scenario to a quote often attributed to former President Lincoln about hypocrisy. 'Reminded me of that story Lincoln used to tell about the kid who murdered his parents and then went to court and pleaded for mercy because he was an orphan,' he said. But he said it is part of the image that Trump, who hosted the reality TV show 'The Apprentice' for 14 years before shifting to politics, has crafted. 'Donald Trump is not a great businessman, but he is a brilliant, historically talented brander and marketer,' Axelrod said. 'And he markets the truth as he wants it to be seen, but sometimes the facts don't cooperate.' Axelrod reflected back on his time in the Obama administration and concerns about the impact comments from the White House could have. 'When I was in the White House, the thing that I learned very, very quickly was that the words I spoke just as an aide to the president, much less the words the president spoke, could, you know — you had to be very careful, because you could send armies marching and markets crashing,' he said. 'And we've seen this in spectacular fashion in the last couple of days.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Ty Cobb dismisses Trump saying he would not defy court order: ‘This is nuts'
Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb dismissed President Trump's recent assertion that he would not defy a court order even if he does not agree with it. 'Oh no, they've made it plain. [Border czar] Tom Homan said, 'We don't care what the judge has said.' [Attorney General] Pam Bondi made it plain when she introduced Trump last Friday at the Justice Department that she and her people were there to support of him,' Cobb said Tuesday during an appearance on CNN's 'Erin Burnett OutFront.' 'That's actually not the oath they take, they take an oath to serve and protect the Constitution,' he added. His comments come amid a tussle between a federal judge and the Trump administration over deportation flights of Venezuelan migrants allegedly linked to the Tren de Aragua gang. The president was also questioned by Fox News's Laura Ingraham about the administration's move to continue the flights to El Salvador, despite an order from U.S. District Judge James Boasberg on Saturday to turn them around. Ingraham pointed to concerns some of his critics voiced, signaling Trump may ignore other court orders he disagreed with. During the interview, which aired Tuesday, Trump claimed that 'nobody knows the courts better' than him and slammed judges from his previous criminal and civil cases. 'But going forward, would you defy a court order?' Ingraham asked. 'I never did defy a court order,' the president responded. 'And you wouldn't in the future?' the Fox host pressed. 'No, you can't do that,' Trump said. 'However, we have bad judges. We have very bad judges. These are judges that shouldn't be allowed. I think at a certain point, you have to look at, 'What do you do when you have a rogue judge?'' The administration has argued that the flights had already passed U.S. territory when the judge's order was issued — claiming Boasberg had no authority to intervene. Earlier Tuesday, the president slammed the judge and called for him to be impeached. Cobb warned that Trump's 'march for power, adulation, wealth' is in motion and defended the district judge, describing him as the most 'qualified' jurist in the country to handle such cases. 'This is nuts, what's going on in front of Judge Boasberg. I think Judge Boasberg, who by the way is highly regarded and actually is the single most qualified judge in the country to handle the issue before him as the former head of the FISA court and the current head of the alien deportation court,' he said.

What JD Vance thinks about cousin calling him and Trump 'Vladimir Putin's useful idiots'
Vice President JD Vance responded Monday to a scathing critique from his cousin Nate of his strategy for the Russia-Ukraine war. Nate Vance, who has spent years as a volunteer fighter for Ukraine against Russia, spoke to the French publication Le Figaro on Sunday about his thoughts on the combative exchange between President Donald Trump, the vice president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last month. Although he considered his cousin a "good guy" and "intelligent," Nate Vance called the scene "an ambush of absolute bad faith." "Just because I'm related to you doesn't mean I'm going to stand by and watch you get my comrades killed," Nate Vance said. "When JD justifies his distrust of Zelenskyy by the 'reports' he has seen, I thought I was going to choke." Nate Vance was also offended by Vance calling Zelenskyy "disrespectful" and saying the Ukrainian leader "should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end" to the Russia-Ukraine war. "Donald Trump and my cousin clearly believe they can placate Vladimir Putin," Nate said. "They are wrong. The Russians are not about to forget our support for Ukraine. We are Vladimir Putin's useful idiots." Nate Vance added that he had left messages with his cousin's office on the topic, given his experience on the front lines in Ukraine. "I could have told him the truth, without pretense, without personal interest. He never tried to find out more," Nate Vance said. Nate Vance made similar comments on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" on Monday, saying he was "surprised" by what he saw in the Oval Office scene. "There's a certain level of decorum that should be reached. And, you know, I'm not naive enough to think that, you know, national leaders don't debate behind closed doors," Nate Vance said. "But when you do that and you publicly, you know, kind of ridicule someone in public that they have to almost defend themselves…it was really disappointing to see it for me." In a statement to Fox News Digital, Vice President Vance said that he never spoke publicly about his cousin's service because he "didn't want to endanger his life more than it already was." "As far as his criticisms, I have no interest in arguing with him in public, but I do feel the need to address one issue in particular: his failed effort to contact me. I am unsure why Nate felt the need to reach out to my Senate office, rather than to his mom, dad, or sister, all of whom I am in contact with regularly," Vance said. The vice president added that he "always considered Nate the toughest guy [he] knew" and that he was "always happy to talk to him."
