President Donald Trump went to the
Washington Nationals game last Sunday on the dime of
Republican Party donors. According to
The Washington Post, it was the
Republican National Committee that paid $14,000 in donor dollars for
Trump to sit in a fancy suite at Game 5 of the
World Series— where he was booed extensively.

“One of the
Republican officials, who along with others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal
RNC matters, said
MLB charged face value for box seats and sent an invoice to the committee,”
The Post reported. “A
White House official said it would have been impossible for the president to sit anywhere other than a secure box because of
Secret Service safety requirements.”
“After the game, there was confusion among some offices on whether they were on the hook for the cost,” the report said.
Rep. Liz “Cheney’s (R-WY) chief of staff asked the
White House at least four times on how to pay for the ticket but did not get a response, according to records reviewed by
The Washington Post.”
Her staff said they’re willing to reimburse anyone for the cost of her ticket. It’s unclear if
Trump and the other members would be willing to do the same.
Trump, however, won’t even pay for over $1 million in costs he owes to police officers who secured his rallies.
Border agents admit smugglers are cutting through Trump’s wall with a common household power tool (
Raw Storylink): On Saturday, the
Washington Post reported that smugglers have sliced holes in the new sections of
Trump’s border wall with a common and readily available power tool, large enough for people and drugs to pass through. “The breaches have been made using a popular cordless household tool known as a reciprocating saw that retails at hardware stores for as little as $100,” reported the
Post.
“When fitted with specialized blades, the saws can slice through one of the barrier’s steel-and-concrete bollards in a matter of minutes, according to the agents, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the barrier-defeating techniques.”
Trump says Melania wouldn't cry if he got shot (
Yahoo Newslink):
Donald Trump has suggested his wife
Melania Trump would not cry if he were shot in an assassination attempt. The president made the prediction during a private fundraiser on Tuesday night, where he was pondering the 2017 congressional baseball shooting in which several people were shot including
House minority whip
Steve Scalise. While discussing
Mr Scalise’s injuries, the president described the
Republican from
Louisiana as a tough character, and took note of the way his wife reacted to his injuries.
She “cried her eyes out when I met her at the hospital that fateful day,”
Mr Trump said, according to
Politico. “I mean, not many wives would react that way to tragedy, I know mine wouldn’t.”
