Donald Trump revisited the recent as:sass:ination attempt against him in his speech<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The POTUS Donald Trump referred to his vice-president JD Vance as a \u2018little boy\u2019 to a laughing audience of law enforcement officials on Monday (May 11). The US president made the eyebrow-raising remark when he was discussing the assassination attempt against him last month at the White House Correspondents\u2019 dinner. On April 25, the suspected attacker \u2013 identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31 years old, from Torrance, California \u2013 stormed past a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton, allegedly armed with a shotgun, a handgun and multiple kn:ives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Donald Trump and other senior-ranking officials were whisked away in a matter of seconds by the Secret Service, including JD Vance, who was hurled out of his chair to safety.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the White House Rose Garden this week, Trump thanked the Security Service for their swift handling of what happened.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI thought you did a great job two weeks ago. You know why? Because I\u2019m here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Trump continued to describe the moment that JD was \u2018lifted\u2019 out of his chair by the agents, asking why they didn\u2019t lift him so fast too.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I will be the one to find fault if I think there was fault,\u201d he added. \u201cThey had great professional people, and they came out, and within seconds, I saw them take JD by the shoulders and lift him up like he was a little boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018How come they didn\u2019t lift me up so fast?\u2019 JD got ripped out of the chair, that was the view of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Take a listen here:<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Trump also spoke about his 2028 successor, suggesting it could be either Vance or Marco Rubio, with both being popular among voters.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWho likes JD Vance? Who likes Marco Rubio?\u201d Trump asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it gonna be JD? Is it gonna be someone else? I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, Trump described them as the \u2018dream team\u2019 adding: \u201cBy the way, I do believe that\u2019s a dream team, but these are minor details.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat does not mean you have my endorsement under any circumstance. But you know\u2026 I think it sounds like presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Trump didn\u2019t elaborate on who out of Vance and Rubio sounded more like the presidential rather than vice presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also not entirely clear if Rubio would run, after he told Vanity Fair last year: \u201cIf JD Vance runs for president, he\u2019s going to be our nominee, and I\u2019ll be one of the first people to support him.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the mean time, Trump has also floated the idea of serving for a third term, telling TIME last year: \u201cI\u2019d rather not discuss that now, but as you know, there are some loopholes that have been discussed that are well known.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t believe in loopholes. I don\u2019t believe in using loopholes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rod Stewart\u2019s Bold Comments About Trump Ignite Buzz Over Sh0cking Words<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Before Rod Stewart\u2019s recent remark became the newest topic of online debate, he was not the only major celebrity whose comments about Donald Trump had drawn attention.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In May 2025, well-known figures such as Bruce Springsteen and Robert De Niro had already caused strong reactions online after openly criticizing Trump and his administration.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Springsteen\u2019s criticism helped set the tone before Stewart\u2019s own bold comment made headlines. On May 14, 2025, Springsteen spoke critically about Trump during a concert in Manchester, England, while opening his \u201cLand of Hope and Dreams\u201d tour with the E Street Band.<\/p>\n

During the show, Springsteen told the audience that the America he loved\u2014the country he had written about for decades as a symbol of hope and freedom\u2014was now, in his view, being led by a corrupt and dangerous administration. He also urged people who believed in democracy to raise their voices against authoritarianism and defend freedom.<\/p>\n

His comments quickly spread online and sparked divided reactions. Some people criticized him for speaking against an American president while overseas, with a few even suggesting he should leave the country. Others defended him, praising him for using his platform and saying more artists should speak out.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Springsteen had previously supported Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 election, describing them as candidates who represented a more inclusive vision for the country. He also said he strongly opposed Trump and JD Vance, arguing that Trump\u2019s attitude toward democracy, the Constitution, the rule of law, and the peaceful transfer of power made him unfit for office.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Although Trump ultimately won the election, Springsteen has continued to speak publicly about his concerns, encouraging Americans to think seriously about the values that once united the nation.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Before Springsteen\u2019s remarks drew major attention, Robert De Niro had also reignited political discussion with a speech at the Cannes Film Festival. On May 13, 2025, De Niro accepted an honorary Palme d\u2019Or for lifetime achievement and used the moment to speak about politics as well as art.<\/p>\n

While accepting the award, De Niro said that people in the United States were fighting to protect democracy. He connected the arts with democratic values, arguing that creativity and free expression are threatening to authoritarian figures.<\/p>\n

He also criticized Trump\u2019s role in cultural institutions and objected to policies affecting the arts, humanities, education, and film. De Niro said the issue was not only American but global, urging people who care about liberty to organize, protest peacefully, and vote when elections come.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As expected, his speech sparked mixed reactions online. Some viewers praised his courage and called the speech powerful, while others accused him of being disrespectful or out of touch. The divide reflected how politically charged celebrity comments about Trump had become.<\/p>\n

Then Rod Stewart entered the conversation in a very different setting.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unlike Springsteen at a concert or De Niro at a film festival, Stewart made his comment while greeting King Charles III at A King\u2019s Trust 50th Anniversary Celebration at Royal Albert Hall in London on May 11, 2026. Stewart attended the event alongside fellow rock icon Ronnie Wood.<\/p>\n

A video from the event showed Stewart shaking hands with King Charles while Wood stood nearby. At first, the interaction appeared formal and polite. Then Stewart made a bold comment praising the King for how he handled matters involving the Americas, before adding a sharp insult aimed at Trump.<\/p>\n

The clip quickly circulated online because of the setting, the person Stewart was speaking to, and the casual way the moment happened. A longer version showed Stewart, King Charles, and Wood continuing their conversation afterward, which only made viewers more curious about the exchange.<\/p>\n

Online reactions came quickly. Some people found Stewart\u2019s remark funny, saying that at his age he could say whatever he wanted. Others felt the comment placed King Charles in an awkward position, especially because royal conversations are usually expected to remain diplomatic and restrained.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Some viewers also connected Stewart\u2019s remark to Springsteen\u2019s earlier criticism, suggesting that both musicians had become part of the same wider celebrity backlash against Trump.<\/p>\n

In the end, Stewart\u2019s words became viral not only because of what he said, but because of where he said it and who was standing in front of him. The image of Stewart smiling, Ronnie Wood standing nearby, and King Charles caught in the middle gave the moment the kind of visual drama that people online love to analyze frame by frame.<\/p>\n
