1) Among many vivid details in ⁦@TimAlberta⁩’s new book on Trump reshaping the GOP: On Election Night 2016, Madeline Westerhout, now the president’s top assistant, was inconsolably crying over notion Trump was becoming president. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
One of the best scenes in the book involves Paul Ryan and Reince Priebus:
Here’s how Trump sees evangelical voters, per @TimAlberta new book. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
Paul Ryan tells @TimAlberta the presidency is in worse shape now because there are no longer people like him to stop “knee-jerk” reactions. And, now out of office with no power, he says a lot more. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
A backstory behind Trump naming Nikki Haley to the UN is a fascinating look into Trump’s transactionalism: washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
Much of @TimAlberta’s book focuses on the factors that contributed to Trump. Chapter one, for example, is a vivid recreation of the final stretch of the Bush presidency. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…
Is Trump a transformational figure in GOP? Here’s how he sees himself in relation to the party. washingtonpost.com/politics/new-b…

VP saw 384 men sleeping inside fences, on concrete w/no pillows or mats. They said they hadn’t showered in weeks, wanted toothbrushes, food. Stench was overwhelming. CBP said they were fed regularly, could brush daily & recently got access to shower (many hadn’t for 10-20 days.)
A few other images from inside:
Agent in charge said there wasn’t room for cots andthe facility didn’t have a shower but got a shower yesterday in an outdoor trailer. Some hadn’t showered for 10 or 20 days. Agent said no one had been there longer than 32 days, but some men told CNN’s Pam Brown and me they had.

When Trump visits his clubs, government agencies and Republicans pay to be where he is. A dive into the mix of the presidency & his business, w/@Fahrenthold, @OConnellPostbiz & @myhlee: washingtonpost.com/politics/when-…
@Fahrenthold @OConnellPostbiz @myhlee A few details: Trump has suggested his properties for official events -- including the G7 next year -- and has blanched at concerns from lawyers that he should not mix his official travel with stops at his properties. washingtonpost.com/politics/when-…
@Fahrenthold @OConnellPostbiz @myhlee A White House lawyer, Stefan Passantino, created a rule that administration officials could not visit Trump's properties in their official capacity. But many go in their personal capacity. Donors, supporters, allies say his hotel in DC is the place to be. washingtonpost.com/politics/when-…

🔑DOJ Probes Whether Jho Low, the Fugitive Financier Supplied Donation to Trump Re-Election Effort

🔑Justice Department investigates whether the $100,000 contribution came from Malaysian businessman charged in a global scandal

The $100,000 donation was made in December 2017 to the Trump Victory committee—which is involved in helping re-elect President Trump in 2020—by Larry Davis, a U.S. citizen who co-owns LNS Capital, a Hawaii-based investment company.

Well as someone with #cancer, I must say, this sounds great. But didn't Obama put #Biden in charge of curing cancer in a "moonshot" in 2015? How did that go? Because we never heard a word about it.

Biden: If I'm elected, we're going to cure cancer cnn.com/videos/politic…
So first #Biden tells us that when he's elected all the Republicans are going to have an epiphany because Trump is a #GOP anomaly (he is not), and now he's going to cure #cancer.

Amazing what plummeting poll numbers will do for a campaign.
As someone who is currently very sick who hasn't been allowed to eat food for several days, and has been too sick to even be on Twitter in days, I'm just going to say that if #cancer were that easy to cure, 17M Americans, myself included, wouldn't have it.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn If Eric Trump is no longer involved in his charity, why does this golfer—who just played in a benefit for it—call it "the Eric Trump Foundation"? [H/T @npenzenstadler]

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn @npenzenstadler Last night a gala was held to celebrate students who committed to enlist in the U.S. military after graduation. It was held at—

Trump National D.C.

Major General Scott Dingle addressed the recruits.

#THREAD: We’ve said this before but for the life of us we can’t figure out why #Trump won’t give up this #TradeWar. The May jobs report was incredible and the #economy is booming. Now he’s threatening to torpedo all this work to get the economy humming because he’s pissed off
The smart political thing for #Trump and his #GOP allies facing re-election to do would be to run out the clock on this booming #economy all throughout the #Midterms2018 season and campaign hard on his anti-regulation, tax cutting economic policy and spike the football
In a survey conducted last fall, the Chicago Council on Public Affairs found that 72% of Americans thought trade is good for the U.S. economy, 78% thought it benefits consumers like themselves, and 57% thought it helps create jobs in the United States
