The CNN anchor did not explain how he verified that it was the president β€” not any of his aides β€” who authored the written responses to his questions.

He also did not explain whether he’d made any effort to speak with the president by phone, something that has become commonplace for reporters covering the second Trump administration because Trump has maintained use of his personal mobile phone since returning to the presidency and frequently uses it to contact reporters directly.

The president’s purported text message exchange with Tapper was also unusual because Trump is not known to be a frequent user of his phone’s text message capacity.

He also famously eschews email and other written forms of communication and during his first term he openly complained when attorneys working for his administration took notes during meetings.

Trump’s unconventional use of text-based communications to purportedly respond to Tapper comes as questions continue to swirl about the state of his health

Jake Tapper did a whole interview with Trump by text message? Which means he can't actually confirm it was him. And now everyone's asking even more than before very reasonable questions about the wannabe dictator's health.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

I'm not even a big DSA supporter, I'm sure there's plenty to criticize. But "I was a socialist 70 years ago when I was a kid and now I work for the Manhattan Institute, here's why I think DSA is bad" isn't worth reading.

Late night hosts criticizing the president isn’t new. Having a thin-skinned dictator wannabe who can’t take it is.

Phang: The South Koreans are here to help build, to help train, to help get this thing up and running so 8,500 Americans can have jobs. But no β€” the Trump administration, the dumbasses with their heads so far up their asses when it comes to immigration, are just sitting there rounding people up…

Stephen Miller’s Quota Likely Drove Korean Arrests In Immigration Raid When ICE agents arrested over 300 Korean workers at a Georgia battery plant, a daily immigrant arrest quota was likely on their minds.

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
