Good news, bad news for President Trump … the bad news is the Kennedy Center Honors award show he hosted saw its TV ratings tank with him at the helm … but the good news is this means he won’t be quitting the presidency to become a full-time M.C.

The ratings are in for this weeks Kennedy Center Honors on CBS … and it’s bad.

Preliminary data from Nielsen shows CBS had “its smallest ever audience” for the Kennedy Center Honors with an estimated 2.65 million viewers … a sharp, 35% decline from 2024 when the show had 4.1 million viewers.

Obviously, the big difference here is Trump … he was the first first president to host the awards show.

Still, Trump’s the one who loves to make everything about ratings … and he was bragging that the Kennedy Center board and “just about everybody else in America” wanted him as this year’s host.

Plus, Trump posted before the event on social media that if people like him as a host he would quit the presidency to become a full-time MC.

Khloé Kardashian‘s Christmas just got a whole lot cozier, ’cause she is welcoming a new member of the family … a puppy!!!

“The Kardashians” reality star revealed the adorable addition on her Instagram Christmas day … sharing the tiny black lab pup, surrounded by fellow presents and toys while sporting a dashing red collar with a bow — showing it’s named “Peppermint.”

The timing couldn’t be more festive with Christmas celebrations in full swing … and Peppermint is arriving just in time to join family traditions, snuggle by the tree, and likely steal the spotlight in some of Khloé’s festive social media posts.

This news comes just a week after Khloé shared a note to Santa from her kids True and Tatum — aka “Tay Tay” — which reads “Dear Santa please can I have a real puppy.”

The siblings specifically asking for a “Black lab” … but the duo makes it clear to Santa by emphasizing how he must “make sure it is real” — so seems like Santa certainly got the message.

Khloé couldn’t contain her emotions, captioning the post, “I am not ok right now. This maybe my gift because I could cry.” … as the young pup casually poses for its viral Insta debut.

It’s not the first time the Kardashian clan have brought pets into the spotlight. Khloé has long had a soft spot for animals, and her kids have grown up surrounded by furry friends … so Peppermint is clearly destined to become a permanent member of the reality family.

Showing off every angle of her new fur baby down to its perfect toes … fans can only hope to get more Peppermint coverage on the sisters’ social media.

A cop in Ohio almost ended up on Santa’s naughty list after pulling over Santa and Mrs. Claus for speeding … and the hilarious traffic stop is all on video.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s office shared video of one of their deputies pulling over an elderly couple dressed as Santa and Mrs. Clause over the weekend for “flying a little too fast.”

When the deputy realizes he’s talking to Father Christmas he exclaims, “Santa!!!”

Jolly old Saint Nick was packing heat too … he told the deputy he had a concealed carry weapon and the deputy replied, “Santa has a CCW? Times are rough!!!”

Santa said he’s got to protect himself and Mrs. Claus chimes in, “And the North Pole isn’t what it used to be.”

It’s gotta be the friendliest and funniest traffic stop ever recorded … there’s jokes about Santa’s age, Rudolph, and Christmas gifts … and the Clauses even pose for a pic with the deputy.
