Yet Cuban, an outspoken Texas billionaire who describes himself as "fiercely independent" politically, sees an opportunity for someone to take down the Republican president, who is increasingly viewed as divisive and incompetent even within his own party. "His base won't turn on him, but if there is someone they can connect to and feel confident in, they might turn away from him," Cuban told The Associated Press.
In just nine days, President Donald Trump might have badly hobbled Arizona Republicans headed into a competitive Senate race and hurt his own re-election prospects in the state. Trump's efforts to unseat Sen. Jeff Flake in the state's 2018 Republican primary have left Trump's allies confused and divided over which of several possible anti-Flake candidates should get their support.
President Donald Trump's end-of-the-week pardon of former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, a campaign supporter who shares Trump's hard-line views on immigration, touched off a political outcry that did not abate Saturday even as much of the nation was focused on a hurricane that pummeled Texas. Democrats condemned the president's decision, which was made public by the White House on Friday night as Hurricane Harvey, a Category 4 storm, churned toward the Texas coast.
At 11:46 a.m. on Friday, August 25, President Trump issued the first of what would become a sequence of 12 tweets that day about the government's readiness for Hurricane Harvey. Seldom if ever before in his tenure has this president so publicly performed the role of chief executive: the demonstrations of command, the expressions of concern for the wellbeing of citizens.
In his first act of presidential clemency, Trump pardoned the deeply-divisive 85-year-old who ignored a federal court order that he stop detaining illegal migrants. "He kept Arizona safe!" Trump tweeted, calling Arpaio a "patriot."
Shunned by the national political establishment, it darts in and out of the shadows, haunting the dreams of D.C.'s professional class. "One day," it whispers, casually flipping a set of imaginary six-shooters, nonchalant like Doc Holliday, "I shall come again."
President Trump this week bad-mouthed Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Arizona Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake. How long will the backbiting between the White House and Capitol Hill continue?
Most Republicans support killing the estate tax as part of a tax overhaul, but doing so could have dire consequences for something else conservatives cherish -- charitable giving. President Donald Trump along with top GOP lawmakers have proposed ending what they call the death tax -- a 40 percent levy that's applied to estates worth more than $5.49 million for individuals and $10.98 million for married couples.
Sen. Jeff Flake said Thursday he won't be able to say whether he'd vote to fund President Donald Trump's wall along the US-Mexico border until he knows whether the president wants to build a single brick-and-mortar structure or instead erect a combination of fencing and other barriers. The president threatened earlier this week at a rally in Phoenix to shut down the federal government unless the gridlocked Congress agrees to build a border wall.
President Trump's advisers apparently pleaded with him not to attack Sen. Jeff Flake at his rally in Arizona on Tuesday night. "They all said, 'Mr. President, your speech was so good last night, please, please Mr. President, don't mention any names,' " Trump noted.
Escalating a conflict that has been brewing for months, Trump told supporters at a campaign-style rally in Phoenix: "Believe me, if we have to close down our government, we're building that wall. Let me be very clear to Democrats in Congress who oppose a border wall and stand in the way of border security: You are putting all of America's safety at risk."
GOP Arizona Treasurer Jeff DeWit, who who may be considering challenging Sen. Jeff Flake for his seat, Wednesday defended President Donald Trump's criticism of senators who are not helping his agenda progress. "A lot of people all over the country in the Senate have, on the Republican side have, raised money for seven years saying they're going to repeal Obamacare, and I think a lot of people are very disappointed that Obamacare is not gone," said DeWit on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program.
President Donald Trump is set to speak at an American Legion convention and the White House says he plans to talk about seeking "a new unity." The White House says the president - in his speech later Wednesday in Reno, Nevada - will say it's "time to heal the wounds that have divided us and to seek a new unity based on the common values that unite us."
President Donald Trump mounted an aggressive defense today of his response to a deadly far right march in Virginia, using a rally speech to condemn "dishonest" media coverage of his widely criticized remarks. Trump faced bipartisan outrage after blaming "many sides" for violence at the rally in Charlottesville that took the life of an anti-fascist protester.
Minutes into his election-style rally, we learned what: It wasn't the white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis who threw the US into chaos and allegedly killed a woman in Virginia last week. Trump spent nearly a third - if not more- of his 90-minute rally rehashing his public remarks in the wake of Charlottesville, Virginia, and complaining that he was widely criticised for them.
