Jordan Klepper Declares Donald Trump ‘The King of Pettiness’

Comedy Central

That Donald Trump has a tendency toward pettiness is hardly surprising to those who have been paying attention to the former president’s antics in recent years. (See Exhibits A, B, C, D, and E.) But a late-night outburst on Wednesday attacking Bill Barr has The Daily Show correspondent and this week’s co-host Jordan Klepper declaring the former president the official “King of Pettiness.”

Though Trump spent most of Thursday in a New York City courtroom (again) for his hush money trial, Klepper’s co-host Ronny Chieng said that it wasn’t all bad news for the former president. “After months of calling him unfit for office, Trump’s former attorney general Bill Barr said he’s voting for him anyway,” Chieng shared. “And Trump responded with as much grace as you’d expect.”

Nathan Wade Speaks Out About Workplace Romance With Fani Willis
Alex Slitz-Pool/Getty ImagesNathan Wade, the former Fulton County special prosecutor in Trump’s election interference case, has spoken out for the first time since his affair with District Attorney Fani Willis. “Workplace romances are as American as apple pie. It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us,” Wade said in the interview that aired in full on Monday on ABC News’ Good Morning America. “You don’t plan to develop feelings. You don’t plan to fall in love. You don’t plan to have some relationship in the workplace. You don’t set out to do that. Those things develop organically. They develop over time. And the minute we had that sobering moment, we just continued,” he added. Read more at The Daily Beast.

2024 Met Gala Red Carpet: Every Wild, Fabulous, Crazy Look
Photo Illustration by The Daily Beast/GettyThe celebrities came ready to slay, delight, outrage, and garner as many headlines as possible—and if any outfits didn’t immediately seem to echo the theme, the Met Gala’s grand organizer, Vogue’s global editorial director and Condé Nast’s chief content officer, Anna Wintour, had already taken responsibility for it. Wintour told the Today show’s Jenna Bush Hager that she “deeply apologized” for “unleashing a lot of confusion” around what to turn up in after “The Garden of Time” was named as the dress code, its name taken from J.G. Ballard’s dystopia-streaked 1962 short story. “I imagine we’ll see a lot of flowers,” Wintour said.This year’s Met Gala is the grand opening to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute’s latest exhibit, Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion (May 10-Sep. 2), a survey of around 250 of the museum’s most ancient garments. While the Gala guest list remains a mystery until the first wild outfits appear, the chairs of the Gala are well-known: Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Zendaya, and Chris Hemsworth. Yes, Wintour told Today, she has advised attendees on what to wear in previous years, suggesting to Serena Williams when she co-chaired that she should wear sneakers: “She has said many times that she was grateful for that suggestion.”Asked about her grandchildren, Wintour said they were “magical and amazing and funny, and they bring a perspective to everything.” What do they call you, Hager asked. “Anna,” Wintour replied, confirming something she had originally revealed in 2022.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Trump May Join These High-Profile World Leaders Behind Bars
Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesDonald Trump was fined $1,000 and was once against held in contempt of court Monday, this time for violating a gag order. That marked the 10th time the ex-president has been held in contempt, inching Judge Juan Merchan closer to throwing him behind bars, he warned. Merchan asserted that he doesn’t want to have Trump imprisoned ahead of his trial’s completion, but said the court-imposed fines—totaling a mere $10,000—have done little to deter the billionaire businessman-turned-politician from behaving during his hush-money trial.If Trump were to be thrown in the clink, he’d be the first U.S. president to spend time behind bars. However, he’d be far from the first world leader to find himself imprisoned. Below are some notable politicians to be jailed and how they ended up there. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Tom Cotton of Arkansas, promised to target the International Criminal Court and its employees if it issues a warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest—an act several Israeli leaders believe is imminent.“Target Israel and we will target you,” the letter reads. It threatens to use the 2002 Bush administration American Service-Members’ Protection Act—also known colloquially as “The Hague Invasion Act”—to compel the ICC to release any U.S. person or ally it detains.Read more at The Daily Beast.
