President Donald Trump, who has demeaned his rivals for being laughed at around the world, found himself the scorned child on the global playground at a NATO summit here Wednesday, as widely circulated video showed leaders gossiping about and mocking him.

Nikki Haley's abrupt and unexpected resignation from President Donald Trump's administration secured her membership in a singular club - the rare former White House official who leaves Trump's orbit as a political force who could pose a potential threat to the president.

President Donald Trump and his aides reacted with indignation Wednesday to an unsigned opinion column from a senior official blasting the president's "amorality" and launched a frantic hunt for the author, who claims to be part of a secret "resistance" inside the government protecting the nation from its commander in chief.

The historic nuclear disarmament summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un - the one that Trump thought might earn him the Nobel Peace Prize - crumbled nearly as quickly as it came together, in a sudden and startling decision Thursday morning by the American president.

On North Korea, the government of dictator Kim Jong Un threatened to walk away from a planned summit after bellicose words from national security adviser John Bolton - who was then publicly overruled by President Donald Trump.

He may have had a strategy, but Rudy Giuliani hatched it almost entirely in secret. The White House counsel had no idea. Neither did the White House chief of staff, nor the White House press secretary, nor the new White House lawyer overseeing its handling of the Russia investigation.

President Donald Trump exercised uncharacteristic public restraint Monday following an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" in which adult film star Stormy Daniels described, in vivid detail, a consensual sexual encounter with Trump, a relationship the president has repeatedly denied.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was asleep in his Nairobi hotel room early Saturday morning fighting a stomach bug when White House Chief of Staff John Kelly called to wake him around 2 a.m. to relay a terse message from President Donald Trump: The boss was not happy.

Rex Tillerson has been replaced by Donald Trump as US' Secretary of State and replaced him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo. Donald Trump had earlier asked Rex Tillerson to step aside, as Tillerson cut short his trip to Africa.

Ivanka Trump tried to travel to South Korea as the president's envoy - but she could not escape also being his celebrity daughter.

Inside the White House, aides over the past week have described an air of anxiety and volatility - with an uncontrollable commander in chief at its center.

The shortest month of the year delivered 28 days of tumult that many inside and outside the White House say could mark the fall of the House of Kushner.

Hope Hicks, the White House communications director and one of President Donald Trump's longest-serving and closest advisers, abruptly announced Wednesday that she plans to resign - sending a jolt through a West Wing besieged by internal tumult and the intensifying Russia investigation.

The White House is readying a plan to oust Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and install loyalists to President Trump in two top national security positions, laying the groundwork for another seismic personnel change in an already turbulent presidency, two administration officials confirmed Thursday.

President Donald Trump woke before dawn on Monday and burrowed in at the White House residence to wait for the Russia bombshell he knew was coming.
