P. J. O'Rourke Attacks Lack of Intelligence in ‘Giant Toddler’ Trump
MSNBC’s Hardball often levels outrageous and conspiracy driven attacks against President Donald Trump, but on top of the usual assault, things got rather personal during Wednesday’s edition. “Now I'm starting to think that attributing anything as intelligent as a plan to Donald Trump is just unnecessary, I'm overegging the pudding,” mocked author P.

Trump Taxes Reporter Slanders Melania: ‘She Did Do Very Sleazy Porn’
The reporter who was lauded by the media for sharing Trump’s boring 2005 tax return is not getting much attention for his politics but perhaps he should be.
