He wanted to look tough. He posted a painting of himself surrounded by oiled-up shirtless men in tiny shorts waving pompoms. Safe to say this did not land quite the way he intended.
EXCLUSIVE: “I have been in this business a long time, and I have never seen anything this bad,” a CBS News insider told Deadline today in the fallout of recent firings at '60 Minutes' and accusations of political interference at the Bari Weiss-ruled division https://t.co/rZoxoR7JV4
"60 Minutes" legend Steve Kroft says the news program has become "disastrous" under CBS News boss Bari Weiss.
“It’s the highest rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years. The audience was up about 9% last year. Why would you mess with that?" he asks in an interview that's airing after Scott Pelley and other journalists were fired from the show.

The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏
Wemby says Revenge of the Sith is his favorite Star Wars movie of all time:

Jennifer Welch: “Boycott every fucking thing on CBS News. From the morning all the way through to the evening. These are the same people that fired Stephen Colbert because Trump got his feelings hurt by a comedian. These people are the biggest bunch of pussies that masquerade with these grandstanding letters like they’re such badasses. These people don’t care about the truth, they don’t care about journalism, they don’t care about the Constitution, they don’t care about a free press. It’s just absolutely devastating what these oligarchs have done to our country”

Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Exclusive: A convicted Jan. 6 rioter who later said that he regretted his participation in the U.S. Capitol attack has been hired by the Trump administration to work inside a Pentagon office that manages highly classified military operations. https://t.co/3OtllgCSWP
Trump: "We seem to be getting along quite well with the Ayatollah. I would like to meet him. I will probably meet him at some point."
The Ayatollah must be laughing. Trump went from "fire and fury" to "let's have lunch."
The president is currently scheduled to maintain a closed schedule today.
Besides weekend glimpses of him playing golf, and a taped TV interview with his daughter-in-law that aired Saturday, he has not held a public event in a week.
