Donald Trump Goes Scorched Earth On Elon Musk For Voting Joe Biden

by

Donald Trump is a man who is not afraid to lash out when he feels as though he has been threatened or disrespected. The former President of the United States has very little impulse control. Overall, that is part of the reason why he is no longer in office. Moreover, people just felt turned off by his brand of politics. Either way, there is no doubt that Trump is a polarizing figure. However, he is still running for President in 2024, which means we will be hearing a whole lot more from him, in the future.

In fact, Donald Trump is currently finding a new enemy in Elon Musk. Recently, Elon sat down with Tucker Carlson of Fox News to discuss political projects, Twitter, and a whole lot more. During this interview, Elon came out and said that he voted for Joe Biden in 2020. I’m not saying I’m a huge fan of Biden, since that would be inaccurate,” Musk revealed. “I would prefer, frankly, that we put just a normal person as president. A normal person with common sense. Whose values are in the middle of the country.” Of course, this set Trump off, who went scorched earth on Truth Social.

Donald Trump Goes Off On Elon Musk

“I don’t believe Elon Musk voted for Biden, not for a minute!” Donald Trump wrote emphatically. “He told me that he voted for me, but who knows about that, and who cares? Elon is just trying to make friends with the absolutely horrible Biden Administration because of all the government subsidies he gets, and all the permits he needs. His space company, car company, battery company, tunnel company, and even Twitter, which was illegally controlled by the FBI, need government HELP & SUBSIDIES.”

Needless to say, it is clear that Donald Trump is accusing Musk of being some sort of liar. These two fighting is going to create even more polarization amongst the right-wing base. With Trump also going at Ron DeSantis, there is no doubt he is on the attack. Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section below.

Donald Trump Sues Former Lawyer For $500 Million

by

It’s been one week since former President Donald Trump was arraigned on 34 federal charges. Most of the crimes Trump has been indicted for relate to “hush money” given to pornstar Stormy Daniels and other women during his 2016 election campaign. The charges were filed in New York, where Trump was based in 2016. Trump’s arraignment garnered widespread criticism from the political right.

Trump is no stranger to lawsuits, both as a defendant and plaintiff. He has a long history inside the courtroom. However, it seems that being arraigned has not quenched the former President’s desire to be in the legal spotlight. A new lawsuit has emerged, which Trump seeking repatriation from someone who was once one of his closest allies.

Trump Wants $500 Million From Cohen For Breach Of Contract

Michael Cohen was once the closest thing Trump had to a right-hand man. Trump has often had a close relationship with his lawyer, notably Roy Cohn in the 1980s. However, Cohen served as both Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer. However, things fell apart in 2018. Cohen, who had served as Trump’s lawyer for 12 years, pled guilty to charges filed as part of the Mueller Investigation. He was sentenced to three years in federal prison for campaign finance violations, tax fraud, and bank fraud. Cohen also testified against Trump, stating the campaign finance violations, which Trump would also be charged with in 2023, were done at Trump’s explicit behest.

However, Trump is now suing his former lawyer. According to the suit, filed in Miami, Trump is seeking $500 million for breach of contract, defamation, violation of an attorney-client relationship, and breach of a confidentiality agreement. These allegations revolve around books, podcasts, and media statements Cohen has given in recent years. In a statement, Trump’s current legal team stated that the former president had “no alternative but to seek legal redress.” Cohen’s representation was quick to respond, accusing Trump of “using and abusing the judicial system as a form of harassment and intimidation against Michael Cohen.” It is likely that this lawsuit will drag on for several months at a minimum. Trump will return to court for his federal charges in December.

Stephen A. Smith Says Trump Is Not Racist

by

Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to making a headline. The ESPN First Take host makes a headline almost every day. However, this headline doesn’t involve Smith’s usual sports takes. But rather his opinion on discussions in the political realm. Recently, Smith was asked about his thoughts on former United States President Donald Trump. At one time, Smith claimed to be friends with the former President. Now that seems like days gone by. However, Smith thinks he knows what has changed in Trump.

“I think he’s changed, but I will tell you this: I think when people call him racist and stuff like that, I’ve never thought of Trump that way. He’s not against black people, he’s against all things not named Trump.” Smith is of the belief that Trump only cares about what is best for him. But that Trump is not a racist like many claims to think he is. The media legend even discussed a phone call with Trump, which the former president discussed in hopes of attacking the NFL.

Stephen A. Smith Believes Trump Is Selfish

Smith went on to discuss his political beliefs. Saying, “I don’t believe that. I think that I have conservative views, I’m unapologetic about that…Am I beyond voting for a Republican? Absolutely not. I am beyond voting for Trump.” It is not often we see a sports figure discuss the topic of politics. The topic can turn ugly rather quickly. However, Smith, as he states, is unapologetic. The legendary sports host isn’t afraid to go where others might avoid.

The conversation with Stephen A. Smith was an interesting view. Usually, when sports and politics get mixed, it can be a headache for all involved. But Smith was an open book on his views. Plus, his thoughts on his former friend Donald Trump. Unfortunately, it is almost time for another United States Presidental Election circuit. I would much rather watch the Burger King Whopper commercial on loop than discuss politics. However, we want to hear your voice. What are your thoughts on Smith’s comments regarding Donald Trump? Let us know your opinions on the matter in the comment section. For the latest news in sports and politics, keep it locked in here at HNHH.

President Joe Biden Likely To Seek Reelection In 2024

by

President Joe Biden says he plans on seeking reelection in 2024. The 46th President spoke with NBC’s Today Show on Sunday prior to the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Biden will have plenty of time to plan his campaign ahead of the election next November. Additionally, Biden says Vice President Kamala Harris is also likely to join him in seeking reelection. Seeking the highest offices in the land is certainly difficult. However, Biden is likely used to it by now. He won the Presidency in 2020 after a campaign impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, he had two successful runs for Vice President with Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Although Biden did not make the announcement official, his 2024 run seems to be all but formality at this point. “I plan on running … but we’re not prepared to announce it yet,” he said. Moreover, the decision to seek reelection was heavily hinted at earlier this year by Biden’s wife. First Lady Jill Biden stated that her husband still had work to do during a speech in February. Meanwhile, Biden’s top advisers are also preparing for the campaign season. One person close to the administration told NBC News that the decision has already been made. “The decision part is over, but he resents the pressure to have to announce what he’s already decided,” the source said.

Joe Biden Plans Reelection Bid During Uncertain Time

Moreover, If and when Biden does confirm his run for 2024, it will hardly be surprising. It is extremely rare for first term Presidents to not seek reelection. In fact, only three first-term Presidents have chosen to forego a re-election bid, President Lyndon B. Johnson was the last to do it in 1968. Meanwhile, Biden would enter his 2024 campaign at an uncertain time. Mounting inflation has caused poll numbers to dip. Moreover, polling numbers for former President Donald Trump have increased following Trump’s arrest last week.

However, Joe Biden would be the overwhelming favorite in the Democratic primaries in 2024. Presently, the only other major Democratic figure to announce their campaign is activist and self-help author Marianne Williamson. Therefore, Biden and Trump may very well end up having a rematch of their 2020 election showdown. Biden has seen support from celebrities such as Cardi B, Rihanna and John Legend. We will see if this support can help him to another victory next November.

DJ Akademiks Poses With Donald Trump At UFC 287

DJ Akademiks posed for a photo with Donald Trump at UFC 287, over the weekend. He shared the picture on Instagram, joking that he’ll be the former president’s running mate in 2024. The vocal Trump supporter, Jorge Masvidal, took on Gilbert Burns at the event. “Greatest president in the history of the world, I love that guy,” Masvidal said while inside the ring. He also prasied Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Kevin Holland walked over to speak with the former president from inside the ring after beating Santiago Ponzinibbio. Israel Adesanya later took on Alex Pereira.

“Might have to take up Uncle Trump on his offer of being His Vice President 2024,” Akademiks wrote. “Bruh told me ‘no way you’d be worse than Kamala.’” Fans had plenty of jokes in response to the post. One commented, “Trump about to repost this as My African American friend Akademiks.” Another wrote, “Big Ak tryna save on taxes.”

Trump sat in the front row at the event along with Kid Rock, Mike Tyson, and Dana White. His eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was also in attendance. The appearance comes as Trump faces 34 felony charges of falsifying business records regarding payments made to Stormy Daniels. He was arraigned in New York City, last week, making him the first former president to be charged with a crime. He flew back to Mar-a-Lago afterward and spoke about the incident in a speech to his supporters.

“The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it,” he said at the time. “The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.” Trump is currently running for the GOP bid to be president again in 2024. His biggest Republican opponent is Ron DeSantis.

Swae Lee Says He Would Choose Trump Over Biden In The 2024 Election: ‘He Freed Kodak, He Freed Wayne, He Tapped In’

by

Former President Donald Trump may not have the stamp of approval from the late rapper Tupac’s family, but he did earn one from Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee. During an interview on the Bootleg Kev Podcast, while discussing Slim Jxmmi’s move to Miami, Florida, the conversation took a right turn into politics.

Lee shared that the main reason he moved to Miami and eventually convinced Jxmmi to follow him was the tax benefits. “It’s tax-free — so, you’re making a lot of money, but you’re giving half of your money to Uncle Sam,” said Lee before diving into his disdain for Biden’s allocation of American tax dollars.

“You’re giving half of your money away to Joe Biden for him to send that sh*t over to another country,” declared Lee, referring to American financial aid to Ukraine, “He got [Ukraine straight before he got his own country straight. I don’t really agree with that.”

When the host asks if he would vote for Trump if he decided to run for re-election in 2024, Lee answers, “If I had to choose between the A and the B, I’d definitely go with Trump over Biden for sure.”

As the camera panned to Slim Jxmmi to document his answer, he said, “I choose not to speak on politics.”

To which the host responds, “You’re a smart man.”

Lee goes on to add that taxes weren’t the only thing that played a part in his decision. “He freed Kodak [Black]. He freed Wayne. He tapped in.” Lee’s comments referred to Trump’s providing rappers Kodak Black and Lil Wayne with presidential pardons near the end of his term.

Black took to Twitter to thank Trump after his release, writing, “I want to thank President Donald Trump for his commitment to justice reform and shortening my sentence,” following the release of his song, “Last Day In.”

Watch the full clip above.

Kodak Black is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Donald Trump Hangs With Mike Tyson, Kid Rock & More At UFC 287

by

Former and indicted president Donald Trump popped out for a surprise appearance at UFC 287. Not only that, but the Miami crowd on Saturday night (April 8) went crazy when he came out with Dana White and Kid Rock. Also, a picture went viral online of the trio posing up with Mike Tyson, and another made rounds for No. 45 grabbing a bottle of Prime energy drink. Given that news of his arrest and not guilty plea rocked the news world, many wondered how he was able to get there in the first place. When you’re facing accountability for your crimes and need a public boost in favor, all roads point to surprising a Florida sporting event.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that people spotted Donald Trump at UFC events, to varying degrees of anger. For example, celebrities like Mel Gibson and Addison Rae showed him some love at UFC 246, with many particularly criticizing Rae for saying hi. On that note, he also faced a lot of protestors outside UFC 244 in Madison Square Garden, which didn’t faze him at all as he attended the event. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that Trump would want to greet fans yet again at the MMA brawl.

Donald Trump Pops Out At UFC 287 Amid Arrest

However, Donald Trump still has much bigger fish to fry. Recently, he responded to his legal troubles during a speech at Mar-A-Lago. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” the 76-year-old said. “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.

“In the wings, they’ve got a local racist Democrat district attorney in Atlanta who is doing everything in our power to indict me over an absolutely perfect phone call — even more perfect than the one I made with the president of Ukraine,” he continued. “Then you have a radical left lunatic, known as a bomb-thrower, who is harassing hundreds of my people day after day over the boxes hoax. This lunatic new special prosecutor named Jack Smith … others of his ilk say he’s even worse than they are.” Hopefully his statements don’t obfuscate the extent of his crimes for those still on the fence. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for more bizarre updates on Donald Trump.

Donald Trump appears to be in good spirits despite his recent arrest in New York City. After returning to Mar-a-Lago, earlier this week, the former president played the role of DJ at his private Florida club. According to Page Six, attendees at the space were treated to tunes specifically chosen by Trump on his iPad.

“He was back on his iPad last night for his regular DJ gig,” an insider told the outlet on Friday. “Trump told members he is ‘back on track’ and that he will be found not guilty.” They added that by Thursday, he was already “telling people that he is resuming his normal life and schedule — including playing his weekly [DJ] session.” “He loves playing ringmaster,” they added. “He played music from his seat [on Thursday] while he ate ice cream. Things are more upbeat at the club — members were surprised at how happy he was.”

Plies wasn’t the only one with this question. Boosie also complained about the lack of a Trump mug shot.
