President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday.

Bondi’s dismissal comes after reports that Trump was increasingly unhappy about her handling of Department of Justice files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and the DOJ’s failure to successfully prosecute several of the president’s political enemies.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has been tapped as acting interim attorney general, Trump said.

Trump is reportedly considering Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, as a replacement for Bondi.

“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

“Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” the president wrote.

" We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.”

Nike’s stock has slumped to its lowest level in more than a decade.

Nike (NKE) shares collapsed 15.5% on April 1 after the sportswear giant's fiscal Q3 earnings revealed deepening profit weakness beneath a headline beat.

The drop marked the stock's second-largest single-day loss in 25 years, pushing NKE to its lowest price in over a decade near $44.63.

Cramer's Call Becomes Instant Meme

Minutes after Nike released Q3 results on March 31, CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer posted on X (Twitter) that things looked positive for the stock.

Social media users immediately seized on the remark as a contrarian sell signal, invoking the well-known "Cramer Curse" phenomenon.


The Inverse Cramer Tracker ETF (SJIM), launched in 2023, was built around the idea that betting against Cramer's public picks can generate returns.

Replies to his Nike post flooded in with mockery, charts showing the after-hours plunge, and screenshots of the stock's immediate decline.

Barchart later confirmed the historic scale of the damage, noting NKE had been obliterated for its second-largest loss in a quarter-century.

Indeed, the NKE stock price nose-dived to depths last seen in October 2014. As of this writing, Nike stock was trading for $44.62.

I’m about 80% sure that he will keep his foot on the gas until there is actual regime change. And if there is, it will occur by the end of May. By the end of April we will invade, and it will only take two or three weeks to have substantial control of the country and for the invasion to turn into a few dozen manhunts.
