Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has responded to President Donald Trump mocking his failed Bud Light partnership, while taking a jab at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for looking like the male activist.

Trump’s comments were made during remarks at the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Association dinner on Friday night.

The president brought up Collins after she received an award for her coverage of the administration.

“I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It’s a fake — she shouldn’t get the award; it was a fake,” Trump began.

“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney. Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. That was the worst commercial ever made, by the way, for those few people who want to hear that. Most people don’t care, but I would. I wouldn’t want to hire Dylan any time soon.”

Trump later doubled down by posting an AI-generated image on Truth Social that superimposed Collins’ face onto Mulvaney’s body from the 2023 Bud Light advertisement.

The Anheuser-Busch brand had partnered with Mulvaney for an Instagram and TikTok campaign featuring a personalized can with his face.

The promotion triggered a massive boycott from conservatives, leading to sharp declines in sales and significant market value losses for the company.

Mulvaney responded on Sunday with a nearly four-minute video posted to Instagram.

“Now, the president also brought up a video I did over three years ago, and mind you, I’ve been kind of flying under the radar, keeping up a pretty low profile, just like doing my little musicals, singing, dancing. And yet, I am still his topic of conversation all these years later,” Mulvaney said.

“And it seems to me that I might be like the one that got away for these men. Like, I am permanently burned into their retinas. I am microchipped into their minds.”

Mulvaney congratulated Collins on the award, calling the comparison an honor, and then reframed the mockery as a positive.

“In fact, maybe being publicly mocked and criticized by this administration is actually like the greatest compliment of all, because it puts me in the company of some of like the most brilliant, empathetic people in our world today.”

He concluded, “And lastly, to the president, thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew.”

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Jackson on Monday evening denied President Trump’s request to immediately reinstate key parts of his executive order on mail-in ballots.

Justice Jackson gave the Democrat-run plaintiff states seven days to respond to Trump’s emergency application.

Last month, a federal judge blocked key parts of President Trump’s executive order on mail-in ballots.

Boston-based US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, blocked President Trump’s March 2025 executive order, specifically his attempt to create a federal voter list.

In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.

“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” the executive order said.

“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error,” the EO said.

“et the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” the executive order said.

“Several Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1015 and 611, prohibit foreign nationals from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections,” Trump said.

Last month a separate federal judge permanently banned Trump from implementing his executive order that required proof of citizenship when they register to vote.

Boston-based US District Judge Denise Casper, an Obama appointee, said the Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”

On Saturday, a federal appeals court refused to allow President Trump enforce key parts of his executive order.

President Trump filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court earlier Monday and Justice Jackson denied his request.

President Trump on Monday responded to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for criticizing his plan to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, saying, “Nobody tells me what we should be selling or not.”

Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Trump on Tuesday at the White House during a visit to the United States, where he will also attend the wake for late Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump told reporters that he and Netanyahu are “pretty close” to the same page. “We have a little difference, but pretty close,” Trump said.

But he made it clear that they’re not on the same page regarding Turkey.

Earlier this month, Netanyahu appeared on CNN with Dana Bash hours after Trump said he would sell F-35s to Turkey during the NATO Summit in Ankara, overturning a ban from his first term.

“He’s not exactly a model ally of the United States,” Netanyahu said, asserting that the move “doesn’t make Turkey a friendly state to the United States.”

“It would destroy the power balance in the Middle East,” he continued. “This is not a force for peace and stability… When you give them that power, you’re going to see aggression in its wake.”

WATCH:

Trump was asked on Air Force One earlier about Netanyahu’s opposition, and he essentially told the Israeli Prime Minister to pound sand.

“Well, look, Turkey’s been a great ally for me. You know, I think he’s done a very good job, did a good job with Syria. He’s a friend of mine,” Trump said of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“And nobody tells me what we should be selling or not. Turkey’s been a tremendous ally for me.”

“If it was up to Turkey, Turkey would,” Trump continued, noting they’re “not a big fan of Israel” and “not a big fan of Bibi.”

“They’ve been great for me. Turkey has been great, very powerful country, by the way. Tremendous military, very big military, very powerful military, has a lot of great equipment.”

When asked if Netanyahu wants the US to strike a deal with Iran or keep fighting, Trump declined to say but suggested that Netanyahu wants the US to keep going.

“Bibi has been great. I’m not going to say it. He was a wartime prime minister. We did very well together, and if you look at Iran now, they’re 8% of what they were four months ago. They’re 8% of what they were four months ago. So we’ll see how this all comes out.”

WATCH:

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, President Trump has halted US strikes against Iran as talks resume over the Strait of Hormuz and a potential long-term peace deal.

Still, Trump said he’s ready to “go back to very strong military action” in “not much time.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was questioned on Monday about a growing campaign by families of September 11 victims seeking to keep him away from the upcoming 25th anniversary commemorations at Ground Zero.

The radical Democrat’s expected appearance has drawn controversy due to his long record of associations with figures who have minimized the deadliest terror attack on American soil.

The confrontation came during a press conference where Mamdani announced a 30 percent discount at five new municipal grocery stores, when a reporter asked him directly about the effort by survivors and relatives to exclude him from the solemn events marking the 2001 al-Qaeda attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

“Mr. Mayor, there was a number of people who are survivors of 9/11 are calling on you not to go to 9/11 memorial services. I wonder how you feel about the fact that they’re trying to keep you away,” the reporter asked.

Mamdani responded by declaring, “I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first responders, forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing alongside them at this year’s 9/11 commemoration, reaffirming that we will never forget the solemn day felt by all of us who call this city home and, frankly, by all of us who call this country home.”

A New York Post report published Sunday under the front-page headline “STAY AWAY,” detailed how relatives of the victims view the city’s first Muslim mayor as an “unwelcome guest” whose presence would insult the memory of those murdered.

Giovanni Galante, whose 29-year-old wife Grace Catherine Galante was killed in the attacks, has led the charge, stating, “Our objection is based on his public record — his failure to meaningfully acknowledge the horror of that day, and his employment of, support for, or association with individuals who have minimized 9/11, defended terrorists, or even suggested America ‘deserved’ the attacks.”

Galante added that the day “is sacred to us. It is not political, and it is not a platform for those connected to such views. His presence would be deeply hurtful and inappropriate — like an unwelcome guest at a deeply personal ceremony.”

Cheri Sparacio, who lost her husband Thomas, called Mamdani’s potential attendance “disrespectful,” citing among other issues his longtime alliance with left-wing influencer Hasan Piker, who once declared that “America deserved” the September 11 attacks, as well as Mamdani’s own framing of Muslims as victims of post-9/11 “Islamophobia.”

Monica Iken-Murphy, whose husband Michael was killed and who helped found the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, emphasized that the event should prioritize families and those involved in the healing process from the beginning, without adding discomfort.

Families and supporters have organized a Change.org petition urging the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and city officials to bar Mamdani from the ceremony, which has already surpassed 15,000 signatures, including more than 300 from verified victims’ relatives.

The petition highlights Mamdani’s perceived reluctance to unequivocally condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” his praise for Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing who once urged followers to prepare for jihad, and his appointment of Ramzi Kassem as city chief counsel, a lawyer who previously defended an al-Qaeda operative convicted in a tanker bombing plot.

It further notes Mamdani’s past social media defenses of Anwar al-Awlaki, the al-Qaeda propagandist linked to the 9/11 hijackers, in which he blamed America for radicalizing the cleric; his endorsements of candidates like Aber Kawas, who described 9/11 as something “a couple of people did” amid “U.S. capitalism, racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia”; and the writings of his father, Columbia professor Mahmood Mamdani, who argued shortly after the attacks that suicide bombers should be “understood as a feature of modern political violence rather than stigmatized as a mark of barbarism.”

The petition states, in part:

For 9/11 families, this is not simply a public ceremony—it is a deeply personal day of mourning. The presence of individuals whose words or associations are perceived as conflicting with the solemn purpose of the event risks detracting from that focus and causing additional pain.

Given these concerns, we respectfully ask that the organizers carefully consider whether Mr. Mamdani’s participation would align with the intention of the ceremony and the expectations of the families most directly affected by the tragedy.

A spokesperson for the 9/11 Memorial & Museum told The Post that the nonprofit has “intentionally worked to keep the commemoration free of politics because remembering those we lost on 9/11 should never be a partisan issue,” noting that officials typically attend only to bear witness without delivering remarks.

Mamdani spokesperson Jeremy Edwards confirmed to the paper that the mayor intends to attend anyway and that he will “proudly honor the families, survivors and first responders forever impacted by these devastating attacks by standing alongside them.”

President Trump demanded that Senate Majority Leader John Thune “get his job done” while speaking to reporters on Air Force One this afternoon after calling out the Senate Leader numerous times this past week. 

“What’s your relationship like with the Senate Majority Leader?” a reporter asked, noting that Trump blasted Thune again in a statement this morning, saying the Democrats “can’t believe how lucky they got” with him as Leader. This comes as Thune continues to attempt to negotiate with Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer rather than pass the Republican agenda.

“It’s fine. It’s fine,” Trump said of his relationship with Thune, noting, “He’s got to get his job done.”

“It’s fine. I have a good relationship with John Thune. He’s just got to get his job done.”

The President continued, “You got to get the SAVE America Act passed, or better than that would be the filibuster. If you terminate the filibuster, everything happens. If you don’t terminate the filibuster, only bad things will happen. If you don’t terminate the filibuster, only bad things will happen!”

However, when asked if Thune should be replaced as Senate GOP Leader, Trump said, “I haven’t even thought of it.”

WATCH:

The President also posted a graphic on Truth Social on Saturday, calling out John Thune for blocking Trump from making any recess appointments. The graph shows past Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush making 240, 77, and 171 recess appointments, while Trump has made zero.

Trump also lit up the Senate and Leader John Thune during a rally in Georgia last week, demanding, “Everybody call John Thune at the Senate. He’s the leader of the Republican Party. And tell him to get this stuff approved!”

“I have to say Mike Johnson and Congress have done a great job, but we’re having a hard time in the Senate. What they are doing, it’s just not right,” Trump said of the SAVE America Act.

“Congress is going to pass it again. They passed it three times. They are going to pass it again. It’s like the Senate is a place you send things when you want them to die.”

WATCH:

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on to confirm that Trump is “running out” of patience with Thune, and Thune responded with a nasty demand that the White House do his job for him.
