Jake Tapper (of ALL people 🙄) sane washing Trump in real time tonight after listening to an unhinged rant about affordability & somehow ‘The Gulf of America’ name change in front of McDonalds franchise owners. And Tapper says nothing about the complete nonsense he just platformed on his show.

Q: "Your voice sounds a little rough. Are you feeling alright?"
Trump: "I feel great. I was shouting at people because they were stupid about something having to do with trade and a country, and they straightened it out. But I blew my stack at these people."

If Congress follows Trump's directive to rename the Defense Department, it could cost taxpayers nearly $2B in new signage, letterheads, and digital code.
Imagine if we invested that money — and our bloated military budget as well — on the American people instead of the Pentagon.

The press contact for FACE THE NATION is [email protected] if anyone wants to explain to them why people might care about a massive pedophile sex trafficking ring that apparently implicates the president and several other powerful men.
Margaret Brennan to Tom Suozzi: "Can you explain the focus this past week in the House by Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files? Is this a tactic to distract from the failure to extract healthcare changes?"

/4 The point is that the NYT has chosen a very specific way to look at the world — one of fatuous moral and political equivalence — and can’t expect anyone to read its stories outside of that frame. It’s perfectly plausible to think the Times would say “rape is bad. But the lost camaraderie!”

CBS is the network that paid Trump $16m. CBS is the network owned by the Ellisons. CBS is the network that failed to push back in its 60 Minutes interview of Trump.
Of course, CBS is asking questions like this to House Democrats.
