Warren told MSNBC, "It is deeply unfortunate that the President of the United States cannot even make it through a ceremony honoring these heroes without having to throw out a racial slur." Yes, unfortunate -- but, for Donald Trump, typical.

Trump repeatedly says ABC is fake news, NBC is fake news, CBS is fake news, CNN is fake news, MSNBC is fake news, the Washington Post is fake news, the New York Times is fake news, and on and on and on. He claims Fox News is the only reputable "non-fake" news channel. Oh really?

No, no, absolutely nothing to do with press leaks. Honest!

Trump administration reportedly considers White House-wide ban on personal cell phones
New York Daily News, Nov 27 2017 4:21 PM

White House staffers might soon not be allowed to use personal cell phones at work, upsetting employees who are worried they won't be able to keep in touch with family and friends, according to a report. Five administration officials told Bloomberg today that the White House is considering a cell phone ban for cyber-security reasons, insisting that it has nothing to do with the press leaks that President Trump repeatedly rants against.

One of the officials said White House cyber-security has been compromised because too many staffers hook up their personal cell phones to the campus wireless network. Staffers would instead be directed to only use government-issued cell phones. The ban would impact everyone working in the Executive Office of the President.

Access Hollywood reaffirms that Trump’s 'grab 'em by the p---y' tape is real
The Wrap, Nov 28 2017 11:02 AM

Access Hollywood wants you to know that Donald Trump’s "Grab 'em by the p---y" hot-mic audiotape is "very real," despite what the President of the United States may be telling people these days. "We wanted to clear something up that has been reported across the media landscape. Let us make this perfectly clear — the tape is very real," host Natalie Morales said on Monday’s show. "Remember, his excuse at the time was 'locker-room talk.' He said every one of those words." Despite previously acknowledging his voice and comments, Trump has recently called into question the authenticity of that conversation on a hot microphone with former Access Hollywood star Billy Bush.

Sixteen women -- sixteen! -- have accused Trump of sexual abuse and harassment and he claims that every one of those women -- every one! -- is lying. One of them, Summer Zervos, has filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump for calling her a liar.

Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films, a non-partisan non-profit studio that makes short films about social issues, just released 16 Women & Donald Trump, which includes clips of each woman detailing how she was sexually assaulted by Trump. (Remember, Trump has bragged about being able to assault women and get away with it.) Referencing Moore, Franken, Ailes, Rose, Weinstein and other abusers, Greenwald notes that "people are appropriately being called out for abusive and horrific actions but Trump has gotten away scot-free." With the "floodgates" on sexual harassment now opened, Greenwald is hopeful that Trump will soon be called to account, same as all the other abusers.

Trump's "Make America Hate Again" program is coming along quite nicely.
