Tiffany Trump Doesn’t Think It’s Nice When People Running for President Lie

Thankfully, at least in many a Democratic state, governors and local officials have long written off the federal government’s guidance, or lack thereof, on controlling the virus. But it’s good to know that Trump had his way, 2 million Americans would be going down for the dirt nap. (Not him of course, he’s tested multiple times a day. Just you expendable losers.)

Surprise: Trump defends teen supporter who killed a couple people with an AR-15 last week

“We’re looking at all of it,” Trump said Monday when asked by a reporter if he cared to condemn the actions of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17 year-old charged with killing two protestors last week in Kenosha. “That was an interesting situation,” he said, not condemning Rittenhouse. “You saw the same tape as I saw and he was trying to get away from them, I guess, looks like. And he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something that we’re looking at right now, and it’s under investigation.”

Does anyone like Steven Mnuchin?

Survey says: Doesn’t sound like it! Per the Times:

One day last year, Howard Saunders encountered Robert Mnuchin at the Matthew Marks art gallery in Manhattan. The two strangers—Mr. Saunders an artist, Mr. Mnuchin a prominent gallery owner and art dealer—struck up a conversation. It turned awkward when Mr. Saunders realized he was speaking to the Treasury secretary’s father. Sounding disgusted, Mr. Saunders asked Mr. Mnuchin about his son. The elder Mr. Mnuchin appeared pained. “His politics appall me, too, really appall me,” he replied, according to Mr. Saunders. “But he’s my son.”

Robert Mnuchin’s wife, Adriana, has reminded people that she is not Steven’s biological mother. (The couple married when he was a toddler.)
