White House Rips Reporter For 'Disgraceful' Shot At President Trump
White House Rips Reporter For 'Disgraceful' Shot At President Trump originally appeared on The Spun. The White House made it clear this week that any criticism towards President Donald Trump and his personal life won't be tolerated. During an episode of "The Contrarian" podcast with Jennifer Rubin, former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta commented on the ICE raids taking place in California. That eventually led to him taking a jab at Trump's late first wife, Ivana. Before marrying Trump in 1977, Ivana lived in Canada. Originally, she spent her days in Czechoslovakia. She passed away on July 14, 2022. Though it seems incredibly wrong, Acosta felt comfortable dissing Ivana while on "The Contrarian" podcast. "Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties? Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You're telling me there's nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork. Give me a break," Acosta said. "How many immigrants has he married? He's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn't she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that? Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do!" White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wasted no time responding to Acosta's comments. "Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being," Leavitt told Fox News Digital. Trump has not yet said anything about Acosta's remarks. Earlier this year, he referred to the ex-CNN host as a "major loser" during a social media rant. "Wow, really good news," Trump wrote. "Jim Acosta, one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history, a major sleazebag, has been relegated by CNN Fake News to the Midnight hour, 'Death Valley,' because of extraordinarily LOW RATINGS (and no talent!) Word is that he wants to QUIT, and that would be even better. Jim is a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up. Good luck Jim!" It wouldn't shock us to see Trump call out Acosta in the coming House Rips Reporter For 'Disgraceful' Shot At President Trump first appeared on The Spun on Jun 18, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jun 18, 2025, where it first appeared.

US politics live: MAGA civil war erupts amid confusion over extent of Iran's nuclear program
Welcome back to our live coverage of politics in the United States. Tuesday is over on the other side of the Atlantic and most of America is asleep, but you can read on for a rundown of how the day went. If you're after more focused news on the events in the Middle East, follow this link. Today the White House issued a furious statement, calling a former CNN reporter a 'disgusting human being' over a remark he made about Donald Trump's deceased ex-wife Ivana. Jim Acosta joked about the fact that Ivana, who died in 2022, was buried on one of Mr Trump's golf courses. It came as he was making the point that Mr Trump's raids cracking down on undocumented immigrants do not appear to be affecting his own properties. 'Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties?' Mr Acosta wondered. 'Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You're telling me there's nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork? Give me a break. 'How many immigrants has he married? He's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn't she buried by the first hole, or the second tee, or something like that?' In a curt statement to Fox News, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: 'Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being.'

Former CNN reporter Jim Acosta has been slammed with backlash after making a vile joke about President Donald Trump 's deceased ex-wife, Ivana. Acosta made the remark during a Monday interview on The Contrarian podcast while discussing the Trump administration's immigration policies. The correspondent's crude remark prompted a response from the White House, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling Fox Digital he is a 'disgraceful human being.' 'Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties?' he began his tangent on the No Kings Day episode of the show. 'Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You're telling me there's nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork?' The left-leaning 54-year-old went on to Trump's personal life, asking: 'How many immigrants has he married?' 'He's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn't she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?' he said as liberal reporter April Ryan and show host Jennifer Rubin cackled along. Trump's first wife, Ivana, who passed away in 2022, is buried at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey. Aside from the White House's take on Acosta's dig, Trump supporters have taken to social media to tear into the correspondent. 'Jim Acosta is a whole new level of Messed Up,' one man reacted on X.

White House condemns Jim Acosta as 'disgraceful human being' after he jokes about Trump's dead ex-wife
Ex-CNN correspondent Jim Acosta joked in an interview posted Monday about President Donald Trump's deceased former wife's burial site and called her an example of an immigrant "doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do." Acosta, speaking on a "No Kings" Day episode of "The Contrarian" podcast with Jennifer Rubin, blasted Trump not only for the ICE raids, but argued he is a hypocrite on the immigration issue because of his immigrant wives, including his late first wife Ivana. "Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties? Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You're telling me there's nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork?" he asked in a clip flagged by reporter Jason Cohen. "Give me a break." "How many immigrants has he married? He's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn't she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?" he asked, as Rubin and left-wing reporter April Ryan laughed. "Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don't want to do!" he joked further. Ivana, who is the mother of the president's three eldest children, Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, is buried at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. She died in 2022. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital in response, "Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being." Acosta, who left CNN in January, covered the White House for the network during Trump's first term and became one of his fiercest critics, often mixing on-air editorializing with his reporting. He's maintained his stridently left-wing tone since going independent this year. In recent weeks, Los Angeles, California, has become a powder keg of political controversy as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) performs raids throughout the sanctuary city. The Los Angeles Police Department has arrested a total of 575 individuals since the first weekend of protests, according to a media release. Authorities have battled protesters, hurling projectiles, setting fire to cars and launching fireworks at police officers in response to the ICE raids, with 10 members of law enforcement reporting injuries as of Monday, according to the LAPD.

Ivanka Trump pens emotional Mother's Day tribute to late mom Ivana
Ivanka Trump has penned an emotional Mother's Day tribute to late mom Ivana Trump. The 43-year-old took to Instagram earlier today with a heartfelt post about her mother who was married to President Donald Trump from 1977 to 1990. She shared a carousel of touching snapshots of Ivana - who tragically passed away after sustaining injuries from falling down the stairs in July 2022. The pictures included several touching moments enjoyed by the mother-daughter duo over the years - from sun-soaked holiday snaps to affectionate cuddles and birthday celebrations. Ivanka then finished the post with images of her own journey into motherhood after welcoming Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 11, and Theodore James, eight, with Jared Kushner. The mom-of-three candidly wrote: 'Happy Mother's Day to all the incredible mothers out there! 'Today, I'm holding close the beautiful memories of my mother, Ivana — her strength, humor, and love continue to guide me every day. 'I feel her presence in so many moments, especially as I raise my own children. 'I'm also deeply grateful for my grandmother babi who fills our home with wisdom, grace, and unconditional love. 'Her quiet strength is a gift to all of us, and I cherish the bond she shares with my kids.' She concluded: 'To every mother, grandmother, and mother figure — thank you for the love you pour into your families and the light you bring into the world.' Elsewhere, Ivanka shared a glimpse into her own Mother's Day celebrations today via her Instagram stories. She showcased several bouquets of white flowers as well as a sweet treat consisting of strawberries and cream. Ivanka recently spoke about the fond memories she had of her mom during a January appearance on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, sharing some of the best things that she learned from her parents. She reminisced about the time spent with her late mom at New York's Plaza Hotel, where she served as the CEO. 'I used to go to her everyday after school, she was the CEO of the Plaza Hotel, the iconic hotel in New York, and I'd go with her on walks, and it was literally like a more well-behaved Eloise at the Plaza,' Ivanka revealed. 'I'd run behind her and watch her do her thing. My father was the same.' During the interview, Ivanka also recalled that her mother, in particular, had an amazing and sharp attention to detail. She then discussed one visit to see her mom at The Trump Castle, which was a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, that she ran. The heiress said that there were tons of chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in the lobby, and as the two were going down the escalator, Ivana could tell that one lightbulb had gone out without even taking as much as a look at the light fixtures. 'That level of crazy detail was my mother,' Ivanka said.
