Trump Says MSNBC ‘Worse Than’ Venezuelan Gang in Oval Office Remark

President Donald Trump, speaking in the Oval Office on 26 August 2025, sharply criticized television network MSNBC, saying it was “maybe worse than Tren de Aragua,” a violent criminal organization that originated in Venezuela. He added that the channel’s personnel were “real scum, real dishonest people,” comments that drew laughter from several officials gathered in the room. The remark underscores the president’s long-running feud with MSNBC and other media outlets he perceives as hostile. Neither the White House nor MSNBC immediately issued further statements responding to the comparison.
