Donald Trump has to know. He has to know that he's in deep trouble. I mean, he can't really believe the court memos that dropped on Friday actually cleared him, can he? Between the time at which the explosive Michael Cohen sentencing memo went public and the time at which the ...read more
In case you've been avoiding Fox News Channel and the Red Hats, here's what they're saying about this week's historic events. They're saying it's all a big nothingburger, just like always. Specifically, we learned this week that, yes, Donald Trump secretly worked on a deal to ...read more
