He has since claimed that wasn't a meltdown, but that he was "kicking liberal ass in the StoneZone." This man is a trusted friend of the President of the United States.

In October, it was reported that a computer server at the Trump campaign was being monitored because it was sending messages to a computer in Moscow. That investigation appears to not have come to anything—the server was disconnected—but seems to have morphed into "Obama personally tapping Trump's phone" via paranoid…

Trump gave a speech, and people were like "hey, he was an old rich white guy that didn't insult anybody—how Presidential!" But then it turns out Session was in on it with the Russians, and then Schwarzenegger left the Apprentice.

Yeah, there is no good end to this: either Trump is being investigated for treason, or he believes Brietbart more than the FBI. Both should be grounds for impeachment.

I guess there isn't much on tonight..

To be fair, this episode would've been written after Plaza was cast.

Stone has already started deleting tweets, including one where he explicitly confirmed that he has back-channel communications with Julian Assange

As I understand it, it's the same thing, but they leave Iraq off the list. I don't know, maybe they changed some of the language?

So: Trump had been planning to re-instate a second travel ban this week, but delayed it after the positive response to his speech, to bask in the positive news cycle

I've seen some screenshots of him lashing out at a "stupid, stupid bitch" angrily threatening to sue somebody, and calling another person a bitch. He is not having a good night.

Yep, the 'Obama tapped Trump's phones" rumors started at Breitbart. A couple of other far-right website's ran with the idea, but Breitbart was the biggest publication reporting it before the tweet.

Hey, Schwarzenegger is leaving Celebrity Apprentice! Quick, world leaders must know!

If Trump actually was wiretapped, it means he was (is?) under active investigation.

Cedric the Entertainer would not have let this happen.

Trump and Secretary of Defense Mattis are having a standoff over staff. Mattis wants to hire the former ambassador to Egypt, but Trump is taking a hardline against anybody that served in any civilian capacity under Obama. Trump also appointed a Secretary of the Army without notifying Mattis. Mattis is refusing to back…

I mean, what's the point of this? It's not like you can close your eyes and the rest of the world goes away. They're making America weaker just out of laziness.

Remember how the press was camped out at Trump Tower during the transition, reporting on every B-list celebrity Trump was inexplicably meeting with instead of creating a cabinet? The only way the Russian ambassador could get in without it being reported at the time is if he deliberately snuck in.

It is also becoming clear that Tillerson just does not understand that engaging with the press is actually an important part of the job. He's isolated from the State Department, the White House, and the press.

There are reports that Tillerson is planning to skip the publication of the annual Human Rights report. Previous Secretaries of State held special press conference just for this report; Kerry at one point asked that it be delayed just so he would be able to attend the press conference anouncement. It's clear that…

But he sounded relatively calm and mostly spoke in complete sentences! Presidential!
