Shooting touch gala

The real first sign that Thursday was going to be a particularly tumultuous day for Donald Trump came at the start of what was billed to be a West Virginia roundtable about tax reform.“This was going to be my remarks,” Trump told his West Virginia audience while holding up a copy of prepared talking points. “It would have taken about two minutes, but, to hell with it. Reading off the first paragraph, I said, ‘This is boring.’ Come on. Tell it like it is.”What followed next had nothing to do with tax reform. The president proceeded to resurrect his own conspiracy theory about why he trailed Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes in the 2016 election.Related: Donald Trump through the years 54 PHOTOS Donald Trump through the years See Gallery Donald Trump through the years Donald Trump with Alfred Eisenpreis, New York City Economic Development Administrator.

Ivanka Trump is considerably less popular than Chelsea Clinton, according to a poll released by Ipsos and the Daily Beast on Monday.The poll found that Trump is viewed favorably by just 43 percent of Americans, while Clinton has a favorability rating of 50 percent. Trump also fares poorly when it comes to unfavorability, with a 46 percent rating, compared to 32 percent for Clinton.Whereas Clinton was a teenager when her father was in the White House, Trump has taken on the role of senior political advisor, along with her husband Jared Kushner. In the early days of the Trump presidency, many on the left hoped that Trump — who previously donated to the Democrats — would serve as a check on some of her father’s harsher, right-leaning policies. 49 PHOTOS Ivanka Trump in her White House role See Gallery Ivanka Trump in her White House role WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 16: Ivanka Trump (R), Adviser and daughter of President Donald Trump, and U.S. Small Business … [Read more...] about Ivanka Trump is less popular than Chelsea Clinton, poll finds

President Donald Trump has been hitting the campaign trail over the past few months, rallying supporters around the country to vote in for conservatives in Tuesday’s midterm elections.Similar to his events during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump’s selection of music before and after the rallies has remained constant, most notably Lee Greenwood’s rendition of “God Bless the U.S.A.”One singer, however, was less than thrilled to learn that the president had also been using her music without permission.When R&B superstar Rihanna discovered that Trump had been playing her song “Please Don’t Stop the Music,” she had a pointed reply.Not for much longer...me nor my people would ever be at or around one of those tragic rallies, so thanks for the heads up philip! https://t.co/dRgRi06GrJ— Rihanna (@rihanna) November 5, 2018It’s unclear if Rihanna planned to send Trump a cease-and-desist letter or what action she hoped to take … [Read more...] about Trump has been playing Rihanna songs at rallies

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump dismissed concerns about his daughter, Ivanka’s, use of a private email address for government business when he spoke to reporters on Tuesday. Trump argued the situation was far different from the email scandal that enveloped his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 presidential race.“Just so you understand, early on for a little period of time, Ivanka did some emails. They weren’t classified like Hillary Clinton. They weren’t deleted like Hillary Clinton. … She wasn’t doing anything to hide her emails,” Trump said of Ivanka, who is a top White House adviser.Both Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have used personal email addresses, on a domain they shared, for government business. On Monday, the Washington Post reported that Ivanka used the private address “far more frequently than known.” That report was based on information from people familiar with a White House review … [Read more...] about Trump says Ivanka’s use of personal email wasn’t ‘like Hillary Clinton’
