What trump said about Rob and Michele is no surprise to me at all. If anything, and as my young son pointed out, I’m surprised it wasn’t worse.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

Saw an old episode of Big Bang Theory last night with Elon Musk in a guest role. He was mostly being portrayed as a good guy with Leonard gushing over him. Remarkable to see it now. If only we knew.
