Trump is melding together several quotes from different Fox hosts, and the statistic given was the lowest average *unemployment* for any president since *1953*.

Left, Fox & Friends Saturday, 9:16 am
Right, Trump, 9:24 am
Fox's way to look at this is that Republican presidents are better for jobs than Democratic ones, but the reality is that Obama and Clinton inherited shitty economies from their GOP predecessors.
Trump is basically responding to Fox live right now, here to Dan Bongino's bullshit.

Trump starts in on this fact-free Mueller rant while watching Fox. He sends the first tweet at 10:22 am, then Luntz's line comes at 10:28 am, and Trump adds it for the second tweet which is sent at 10:31 am.

Right, Trump

Fox News responds to yesterday's synagogue shooting by a white nationalist by hosting a former Trump campaign staffer whose grift is trying to get Jews to leave the Democratic Party because it is purportedly anti-Semitic.
Pipko just relaunched her group, changing its name from the stupidly redundant "Jexodus." Trump tweeted about one of her Fox appearances earlier this year. foxnews.com/entertainment/…
I searched Fox & Friends Sunday closed captions for today.

References to white nationalism or white supremacy: 2, both variants of "Police say [the shooter]... is not a member of a white supremacy group."

References to Rep. Ilhan Omar: 2

Last night President Trump praised Alan Dershowitz for an interview he did on Friday night's The Ingraham Angle.

Left, Fox News, 10:47 pm Friday
Right, Trump, 10:57 pm Saturday
Trump has accused Fox's senior judicial analyst of asking him for both a Supreme Court appointment and a pardon for a friend, and said coverage changed when he said no.

Trump is a liar, so we don't know that this is true. But it should put Fox in an impossible situation.
If true, Fox has a responsibility as a media outlet to look into these allegations, because if this actually happened it would be incredibly damning from a journalistic ethics standpoint.

WaPo goes long on how Lou Dobbs and his anti-immigrant Fox show is shaping Trump's border policy: washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…

I wrote about how Dobbs and others fueled the shutdown and set the stage for the national emergency declaration: thedailybeast.com/how-fox-news-p…
It's basically impossible to imagine the contours of any sort of immigration legislation that could command a majority in Congress and survive a Lou Dobbs veto. But that's where we are as a country.
It's insane that a U.S. senator was floating possible deals with Dobbs before the president, but also what else can you do when he apparently has a veto? mediamatters.org/blog/2019/04/0…

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

💣 💥💥💥⚡Thread and article: How the #Kremlin used biker clubs as a #hybridwar tool to influence #Midterms2018. #bikersfortrump #Putin's bikers, #SunnyIsles
medium.com/@ZarinaZabrisk…
Spetsnaz bikers & professional politicians & security services behind them. Bonus: #Trump at a calligraphy museum, a chainsaw, Cristian Zionists, Russian Orthodox bikers, Chekh German shepherds, Miami birthtourism, a plane on the North Pole, and a bar called Suck Bang Blow...👇.
1. The Kremlin uses Russian Orthodox bikers also known as “Putin’s bikers” as para-military pro-Putin forces domestically and internationally since at least 2012.

With respect to both the Mueller and SDNY investigations, Trump's stupidity was on breathtaking display this morning on Fox & Friends. For starters, he contradicts his prior statement and admits Cohen represented him "with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal" motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
There'll be a special little place in history for these Fox sycophants. After Trump trashes FBI and DOJ leaders again as "corrupt" and suggests he might move to stop Mueller, a smiling Kilmeade says: "We'd talk to you all day, but it looks like you have a million things to do."
Objectively, if you're one of Trump's few remaining lawyers, this is a 25-minute horror film. Trump also declared Cohen a businessman who did but a "tiny fraction" of his legal work. SDNY: Noted! (Indeed, 'attorney—client privilege' may be dead here!) motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

Trump begins @foxandfriends interview by saying he chose to do it today because it's Melania's birthday, but can't say what he got her for a present ("maybe not so much")
Trump pivots from talking about Melania to threatening Iran
Asked about Ronny Jackson, Trump doesn't address allegations against him, but characterizes fact that cabinet appointees are vetted by the Senate as "a disgrace."

"The Democrats are obstructionists. It is horrible what they're doing."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
