Washington Post: “One of Trump’s most notable quirks is his willingness to comment publicly on people’s physical appearance — women or men, heads of state or military commanders, White House reporters or his own staffers.”

“At a time when other public figures often minimize such comments to avoid appearing sexist or superficial, Trump seems to revel in such judgments.”

Politico: “A series of political missteps and policy disputes has strained Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s relationship with the White House… causing some to question how much longer he can last in President Donald Trump’s Cabinet.”

“The friction, these people said, includes complaints that Wright was too slow to loop in the White House on his plans to kill tens of billions of dollars in Biden-era clean energy grants — and too willing to defend the interests of industries that want some of that funding preserved.”

Hakeem Jeffries torched White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday, calling her “sick”, “demented,” and a “stone cold liar” over her attacks on Democrats during the government shutdown, the Daily Beast reports.

From a Wall Street Journal editorial:

“Opposing Donald Trump is a perilous business, but working for him can be equally as dangerous. That’s one lesson from Thursday’s indictment of Mr. Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton for mishandling classified documents.”
