So yesterday Donald Trump posted a video of him crashing Stephen Colbert's final show, and literally throwing him in the garbage, and of course, I had to FIX it.
Many thanks to Laura Kuenssberg for not asking Robert Jenrick about my £5 million gift or dodgy house purchases and for not interrupting him while he spread our propaganda.

What the media aren’t covering…
Net migration down 48%
Immigration down 20%
Emigration down 6%
Asylum applications down 12%
Returns and deportations up 7%
Arrivals by small boat down 41% - 1st Jan - 20th May
Not enough people are talking about this.
A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there.
But the story of how he got it is even worse.
County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent.
That is absolutely insane.
Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it.

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.
Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.
The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.
Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.
That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.
Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.
CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.
Wait 'till you hear about the chainsaw waving nutjob who gutted USAID - and that gutting (0.6% of the US budget), is now killing thousands of the most vulnerable children on the planet, whilst he siphons off more taxpayer money for his vanity projects. That's pretty disgusting...
Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality.
There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it!
I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America.
OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.
Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.
Rayner has been cleared, but the media ran 30 front pages in total, averaging 4 front pages a day during the peak of the story.
Farage's £5 million gift has had two front page stories.
Why would there be such a difference in reporting standards for the two?
Jewish MP Gerald Kaufmann in Parliament in 2009.
"My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead."
"My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."
Hello @SkyNews@BBCNews@LBC@GMB
Would you care look at @Nigel_Farage and:
£5million bribe
Clacton House
Russia bribes
Schoolboy racism
Free helicopter rides
Misleading HOC
No Surgery’s as MP
Ben Habbib claims
Plenty to go on with!
I’m hearing that Andy Burnham has purchased a meal deal at WH Smith in Euston station. Beth, Sam and Sophy are en route to ask the checkout assistant what flavour crisps he chose.
Meanwhile Nigel Farage trousered a £5m bung and didn’t declare it.
Back to the crisps story.
“The country is becoming ungovernable...”
The Times's Matthew Syed says constant leadership speculation is making it harder for Prime Ministers to make tough choices.

These are tough election results for Labour and I’m sorry to all of those colleagues who have lost their seats.
Keir Starmer won a mandate to change our country.
We must get on with delivering that mandate - and show how politics can improve people’s lives for the better.
