Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden said the next debate between himself and President Donald Trump later this month should be cancelled if his rival still has Covid-19. Biden said previously he’d let the experts decide. “Well, I think if he still has Covid, we shouldn’t have a debate,” Biden told reporters on the campaign trail in Hagerstown, Maryland on Tuesday, despite saying he was anticipating the October 15 event and suggesting it would have to “follow very strict guidelines.” Both Trump and the first lady tested positive for the virus last week.

US President Donald Trump rejected allegations that he bashed fallen soldiers as “losers” and “suckers,” hitting back at a recent story in the Atlantic that relied on anonymous sources, which he called “more made-up fake news.” The Atlantic article, published on Thursday, claims the president disparaged dead American soldiers on several occasions throughout his term, citing a flock of nameless officials and aides, none of whom would go on record with their accounts. The story also noted Trump’s “contempt” for the late GOP Senator John McCain – who was taken as a prisoner of war during the conflict in Vietnam – […]
Responding to the report in a statement, the White House said, “This report is patently false. President Trump holds the military in the highest regard. He’s demonstrated his commitment to them at every turn.” An investigative reporter for the Associated Press tweeted that a senior Defense Department official “confirmed this story by Jeffrey Goldberg in its entirety.” “Why should I go to that cemetery?” Trump reportedly asked, before skipping a trip to an American burial ground in France. “It’s filled with losers.” https://t.co/11Wsk00y1B — New York Magazine (@NYMag) September 4, 2020 The president has a long history of attacking military service members, […]
A memorandum issued on Wednesday by the White House directed a review of federal funding allocated to certain cities that “allow themselves to deteriorate into lawless zones” and “permit anarchy, violence, and destruction.” In addition to the legal questions raised by the order, one expert claims it’s also filled with disinformation.

On Monday night, former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for the Trump reelection effort and girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., delivered a booming, scenery-chewing speech at the 2020 Republican National Convention that immediately went viral.

Come!” CNN personalities were flabbergasted by it, with correspondent Dana Bash remarking, “Oh, my goodness.

Bette Midler evidently was not a fan of Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention Tuesday night. As the First Lady took the stage and delivered a speech CNN pundits would later praise for its empathy, the entertainment legend mocked her for being an “illegal alien” who “can’t speak English”—insults she later said Trump has more than earned, given the racism both she and the president have openly embraced. “I’m surprised Trump wants to destroy the #PostOffice,” Midler wrote as she live-tweeted the convention. “He got all his wives from it.” Another barb: “Melania lacks warmth so severely that I […]
