President Trump lambasted the leader of Australia over a refugee agreement before asserting “this was the worst call by far” and abruptly hanging up the phone, according senior officials.

During what was supposed to be an hour-long call with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Trump complained that he was “going to get killed” politically because of an Obama administration agreement to admit 1,250 refugees living on islands off the north coast of Australia, officials told the Washington Post. Trump apparently also boasted about his Electoral College win and blasted Turnbull for supposedly trying to export the “next Boston bombers.” The hotheaded President aggressively ended the call after 25 minutes, according to officials briefed on the matter.(nydailynews)…[+]

A woman was killed and an off-duty NYPD cop critically injured after their car flipped over and erupted into a fireball in the Bronx, officials said Thursday.

The 32-year-old cop was driving a 2012 Dodge Charger along City Island Road when the muscle car flipped over and burst into flames as it entered the City Island Circle at Park Drive about 11:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Two cops assigned to the nearby NYPD firing range at Rodman’s Neck had just gotten off duty when they came upon the single-vehicle crash, officials said. They managed to pull the driver from the flaming wreck but couldn’t grab the unconscious and severely burned woman, who died at the scene. The woman had not been identified by Thursday morning, police sources said.(nydailynews)…[+]

President Trump threatened Thursday to withhold federal funds from University of California at Berkeley for canceling a speech by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos after violence broke out.

“If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view – NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” Trump tweeted shortly after 6 a.m. Trump’s threat came even though the university condemned the violent protests, and cited safety concerns for its cancellation. Protesters on campus smashed windows and threw smoke bombs at the student union building Wednesday night before the scheduled speech by Yiannopoulos, a self-proclaimed troll from the far-right news website.
