Yeah I probably would wait a bit before freaking out about that Obama report.
Occam's Razor here is "some rich guy expressed his own worries to Obama, Obama responded with something noncommittal, and the rich guy talked to the Fox guy," right?
Alternatively:
Oh hey look at me the guy who was right.
Gasparino goes on to say in this clip, "I actually think Obama's not going to say anything" about Sanders so getting mad about this was a real worthwhile use of everyone's time.

Trump is quoting the headline of Penn's FoxNews.com piece, which Fox & Friends promoted before interviewing him.

Left, Fox & Friends, 7:18 a.m.
Right, Trump, 8:20 a.m.
Chyron during the segment identified Prenn as "Chairman, Harris Poll," which is why Trump described him that way.
That places Trump's previous tweet as a response to F&F airing Jim Jordan telling Sean Hannity, "the witness count right now is 17 to 0."

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:10 a.m.
Right, Trump, 7:56 a.m.

Popular Information's @JuddLegum has more on Facebook hiring former Fox producer Jennifer Williams "to head video strategy for Facebook News," noting that that team "is already facing serious questions about its ideological leanings and decision-making." popular.info/p/facebook-get…
Facebook offered this incoherent defense of Williams' 12 years at Fox & Friends:
Let's take each of these arguments in turn. First, Facebook suggests that Williams' Fox & Friends work is fine because it "occurred before Trump was president." Does Facebook really want to argue that Fox & Friends used to be a credible news show? Because it wasn't.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, the least-discussed major political event of the last decade is probably the GOP's decision to cynically and despicably exploit Ebola fears to win the 2014 elections, an effort led by Donald Trump and aided by press coverage. mediamatters.org/msnbc/report-e…
This is an "if a Democrat was president" hypothetical where we absolutely know what would happen because it already did, with massive consequences that continue to play out.
Anyway it is good for America that everyone at Fox News is too much of a sycophant and hypocrite to do the sort of "why won't the president DO SOMETHING" coverage that would lead him to panic and do something bad.

Jimin would never forget the day his viewers led him to Suga.

Suga who became his close friend, who his viewers wanted to see him film with, and who he had a slight crush on.

Even cam boys dream of falling in love.

"mr qian, if you don't mind me saying—"

"kun."

johnny looks up from his gogo squeez. mr qian meets his eyes, a small smile playing around his lips. "my name is kun."

"kun." johnny's brain short circuits as it attempts to run through every possible combination of their names.
"uh, kun. if you don't mind me saying, i think you're doing a fine job of making friends. to me, anyways. and... for what it's worth, you're raising some really great kids."

kun sighs. "i hope so."

"are you kidding?!" johnny exclaims. "you're, like, super dad!"
those accursed, perfect eyebrows—johnny's newfound archnemeses—raise. "super dad?"

"yeah!" johnny splutters. "you brought a whole cooler of healthy snacks! you're so put together! your kids have lace-up shoes instead of velcro! you're all i've ever wanted! y'know, to, like, be!"

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

(1) I do not know what to think of the #Obama Iran scandal.

It simply does not make sense. Obama is a Sunni apologist and a supporter of the #MB which is a #Sunni Islamist movement.

Shi'a ideologues in Iran politically and religiously oppose Sunni ideologies.
(2) Obama's alleged father in Kenya and his family (purportedly from the Luo ethnic group - despite that he looks like a Somali) were/are adherents of Sunni Islam.

The majority of Obama's Muslim backers in the US and abroad - are Sunni, not Shi'a. And for those of you who ....
(3) are not familiar with Islam, the ideologues of the two different belief systems have polarized/juxtaposed positions in most all cases. They also have an inherent religious loyalty or "backbone" which is inflexible.

Consideration of the other "avenue of belief" is ....
