The law is clear, says law professor and Zeteo contributor Kim Wehle. The president would need to prove “actual malice” on the part of the comedian... plus comedy is protected by the First Amendment.

The president’s favorability has somehow stayed above 30% in the polls but economic pain and policy paralysis mean allies fear worse. Still, Trump would rather focus on setting the DOJ on his enemies.

At 9:23 this morning, the White House abruptly dismissed the press traveling with the president of the United States while he was away for the weekend at his private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey. With the cameras now gone, just three hours later at 12:32 p.m., Donald Trump would share the first of 42 posts on Truth Social in a span of less than 3 hours and 15 minutes. The president's public meltdown began when he posted his disappointment with one of his appointees, “I don’t know what she was thinking?” before he jumped straight into more delusional and dangerous images. Among the flood of posts, he shared an AI-generated image of himself kissing Jesus on a golden crucifix. He shared a "TRUMP 2028" campaign poster, a fake image of himself walking beside a handcuffed alien on a military base, and a renewed threat to invade Greenland. He didn’t stop there.

After not being seen publicly for over a month, Melania Trump emerged from the White House at 3:48 this afternoon and made her way along the colonnade overlooking the Rose Garden. She was joined by her husband, who gripped her hand with his own swollen and makeup-covered hand. With American flags carefully placed behind the podium, she stopped at the microphones and struggled to take her hand back from Donald Trump before he made his way to a seat saved for him in the audience. Once he was seated, the First Lady began her short speech: “Good afternoon. I heard you missed me.” The event started ten minutes early and was over just 18 minutes later. Information provided to the press by the First Lady’s office highlighted her attire, noting that she wore a bright red Dior pencil skirt with an oversized sky-blue shirt by Michael Kors. Her look was completed with a pair of $895 Manolo Blahnik suede pumps. After more than a month out of the public eye, and two months without making a public remark, the First Lady of the United States spent barely 18 minutes at an event that had been hyped as a major showcase for her “Fostering the Future” program. And the information her office chose to highlight to the press was what she wore, not the substance of what she said. Doing some rough math, it appears her full outfit cost more than $5,000.
