Meghan McCain reveals peace made with Trump, says he sent ‘very kind’ message

Published

on

Conservative commentator Meghan McCain shared this week on her podcast, “Citizen McCain with Meghan McCain,” that she much prefers the “tone” of President Donald Trump during his second term, revealing she had effectively buried the hatchet after receiving a kind message from him.

After years of a contentious relationship between the McCain family and Trump, the former “View” co-host and daughter of the late Sen. John McCain shared that they had made peace.

McCain, a friend of Tulsi Gabbard, said she was invited to the Trump White House when Gabbard was confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. There were “behind the scenes” conversations that occurred if it would be appropriate for her to attend, given their past acrimony, and it required Trump’s permission for her to attend.

According to McCain, Trump responded by saying she was welcome. She added Trump sent her and her husband Ben Domenech a “very kind and very nice” private message that she would keep to herself.

“And I was like, of all the things that have gone on, of all the things that have been said and done, this is very gracious,” she said.

Trump memorably said in 2015 that Sen. McCain was not a true war hero because he was captured in Vietnam and continued to criticize him before and after his death. John McCain, who died in 2018, did not support Trump’s presidential campaign and famously was the deciding vote against his Obamacare repeal in 2017.

Meghan McCain once said Trump would never be a “great man” like her father in response to a social media post disparaging him during his first term. In 2024, she said she couldn’t vote for Trump despite her opposition to Kamala Harris.

McCain added, “I have heard this from other people that [Trump] has sort of been very gracious to other people that maybe have had things that have happened in the past that haven’t been positive.”

Speaking with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, McCain questioned if this could be because of his second term, age, or the phase of life the president is in, but said overall, she has witnessed a “softer” side to Trump.

McCain surmised that these experiences and the softer side of the president might be from the assassination attempts against him.

Lara Trump said the president had told his family that he believed people would come after him if he accomplished his goals in office. 

“I think when you have these moments that truly your life could have ultimately been changed or ended, I don’t think you can discount that at all,” she said. “I think that 100% had a huge impact on him.”

Trump was shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Penn., in July 2024, in an assassination attempt that killed one of his supporters in the crowd. Another attempt on his life that year was foiled in Florida before any shots were fired.

UC Berkeley slammed after anti-Israel group hosts failed suicide bomber as guest event speaker: ‘cesspool’

Published

on

A chapter of a far-left organization at the University of California, Berkeley’s law school capped off a “Palestinian Political Prisoners Day” earlier this week with a message from a failed suicide car bomber who was jailed in Israel for eight years.

UC Berkeley Law Students for Justice Palestine shared a video on its Instagram account from convicted attempted car bomber Israa Jaabis, who thanked her western counterparts for supporting her cause.

“Firstly, I would like to thank [the students] for their attentiveness, for listening with their hearts,” Jaabis said, according to English translated subtitles attached to the video. “For many reasons, even their attendance is enough to make us feel — as liberated Palestinian prisoners — that there is someone who cares about us.”

FAR-LEFT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PROFESSOR CHARGED WITH VIOLENT FELONIES DURING ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN BROADVIEW

Jaabis was jailed in Israel from 2015 to 2023 after attempting to set off a car bomb during a traffic stop. The incident occurred near an area where Israeli soldiers would often gather and attempt to hitchhike. Both Jaabis and the Israeli officer, Moshe Chen, were severely burned during the terror attack.

While in prison, Jaabis made headlines for demanding cosmetic surgery on her badly scarred face. She was released in November 2023 in a prisoner exchange as the Israeli government attempted to free hostages taken by Hamas militants in the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attack.

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CONDEMNS VIOLENCE BUT DODGES QUESTIONS ABOUT PROFESSOR ARRESTED IN ANTI-ICE RIOTS

“There are those who are in solidarity with us, those who support us and do not abandon us,” Jaabis said in the video. “Your attendance — in particular as law students — makes us hopeful that there remains some humanity, that there is someone to support us in the future, delivering our message to the international community and amplifying our call to liberate Palestinian prisoners, as well as to liberate societies from servitude and from bigotry which produces populations complicit in perpetrating inhumane laws.”

Critics on X blasted both the event organizers and UC Berkeley itself.

SIGN UP TO GET THE CAMPUS RADICALS NEWSLETTER

“Berkeley being a leftist cesspool is not something that should surprise you,” said one X user.

“Muslims must be laughing at the insane stupidity of the ‘enlightened’ useful idiots here in the West,” said another.

“This stuff keeps me up at night. I don’t understand how the world just rewrites morality to fit it’s political agenda,” said another.

A spokesperson for UC Berkeley Law said the school’s hands were tied.

“As a public university, UC Berkeley has a non-discretionary obligation to abide by and support the First Amendment in a completely content neutral manner,” Alex Shapiro, assistant dean of communications, said. “We do not have the legal ability to sanction or censor Constitutionally protected expression.”

“However, as UC Berkeley has repeatedly informed the student body, if any campus community member feels threatened, they are encouraged to contact the Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination. OPHD provides support to those harmed, investigates all allegations, and the campus takes appropriate steps following any findings.”

WATCH: Trump reveals flashy new color for National Mall’s reflecting pool makeover

Published

President Donald Trump revealed that the flashy new color for the National Mall’s reflecting pool will be familiar to most Americans.

While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, he said the reflecting pool’s surface is being repainted in “American flag blue.”

When planning the reflecting pool renovation, which Trump said was necessary because it was “filthy,” the president said his original color idea was turquoise, “like in the Bahamas.” But a trusted old pool contractor Trump has worked with in the past convinced him otherwise.

“He said, ‘What color would you like, sir?’ I said, ‘Well, what about turquoise like in the Bahamas?’ He said, ‘Well, this is Washington, sir, we can give you turquoise, but why don’t you try … We have a color, it’s called “American flag blue.” I said, ‘That’s the color I like,’” he narrated.

Trump added that, “He talked me into it very easily.”

Fox News Digital reported earlier this month that the president was having the famous Washington, D.C., landmark renovated, saying the Biden administration had neglected it for years.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he was working with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum on the project, the latest in a series of beautification initiatives targeted by the Trump administration.

“Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I are working on fixing the absolutely filthy Reflecting Pool between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument,” Trump wrote.

“This work was supposed to be done by the Biden Administration, but Sleepy Joe doesn’t know what ‘CLEAN’ or proper maintenance is — The President and Secretary do!” he added. 

Speaking in the Oval Office this week, Trump held up a photo of the progress on the pool thus far, saying repairs should be finished in the next three weeks.

“You’re going to end up with a beautiful, beautiful reflecting pool. The way it’s supposed to be. Much better than it ever was, actually.”

TRUMP’S PLAN FOR TRIUMPHAL ARCH MOVES STEP CLOSER TO REALITY

He proceeded to make a poke at the media, saying, “I hope the media can go over and maybe watch them do it because its I think it’s very exciting.”

“Fraction of the cost and a fraction of the time, and you get a better product than you could ever get the other way, and it’ll be beautiful,” he said, adding, “And as he said, it will be American flag blue. Any questions?”
