Rochester Woman Arrested for Threat Against President

The internet shared plenty of responses on Monday after President Donald Trump blamed Brown University over his own FBI for failing to swiftly catch the suspect in a mass shooting on campus this weekend.

A manhunt was underway Monday while investigators continued to search for the suspect in the shooting that left two students dead and nine others injured over the weekend in Providence, Rhode Island. During a press conference on Monday, Trump suggested that the university had somehow mismanaged the initial investigation.

"It's always difficult. So far, we've done a very good job of doing it, with Charlie [Kirk], with the various times this has happened. They've done it pretty much in record time. You'd really have to ask the school about that," Trump said.

Social media users responded to Trump's comments:

"He is literally the worst person," user Hayley Becker wrote on X.

"If you watch carefully you can see the specific instant when Trump decides to try to shift blame for the failure to catch the perpetrator of the Brown University shooting from Kash Patel and the FBI - who claimed credit for catching the wrong person yesterday - to the university," Aaron Fritschner, deputy chief of staff for Rep. Don Beyer (D-VA), wrote on X.

"He just really blamed the school for getting shot up I hate it here," user Mari wrote on X.

"Then: FBI chief takes credit for detaining 'person of interest' in Brown U. shooting (person later released). https://x.com/fbidirectorkash/status/2000244040667676940?s=46 Now: Go ask the school why they haven’t caught anyone," writer Paul Farhi wrote on X.

"I didn't think it was possible for his Rob Reiner post to be the second most repulsive thing he said today," MeidasTouch editor Ron Filipkowski wrote on X.

"This guys could give a s---- about anything that he can’t profit from or denigrate others. Despicable that Americans voted for this disgraceful man," user Mike Swain wrote on X.

President Donald Trump was hit by pushback from some MAGA Republicans —including "War Room" host Steve Bannon — for an executive order limiting states' ability to regulate artificial intelligence technology.

The Hill's Alexander Bolton on Tuesday wrote, "Trump is trying to avoid an open fight with Republicans who want to rein in the titans of AI by reaching out to GOP lawmakers to make the argument that state regulation of the industry could cripple its growth. But Republicans who warn that unregulated AI poses a serious threat to intellectual property, American jobs and children's safety aren't happy the president did an end-run around Congress — even if they're holding back from criticizing the president directly."

Bannon is being especially outspoken.

Although the "War Room" podcaster — who served as White House chief strategist in the first Trump Administration in 2017 — is a major Trump ally, he is often critical of the president's alliances with Silicon Valley tech bros. And he isn't shy about attacking Tesla head Elon Musk.

In a statement, Bannon said of Trump's AI executive order, "After two humiliating face plants on must-pass legislation, now we attempt an entirely unenforceable EO — tech bros doing upmost to turn POTUS MAGA base away from him while they line their pockets."

Outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is another MAGA Republican who is critical of Trump's tech alliances.

The Georgia congresswoman recently resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives, effective early January 2026, and believes that Trump has betrayed his America First agenda during his second presidency.

In a post on X, Greene declared, "I will NOT vote for any bill that destroys states' rights and lets AI run wild for the next 10 years. AI will replace jobs, especially in the press. This is not a left or right issue. It's about humanity. I'll go to the mat on this. If you kill federalism, I'm out."
