Wait, WHAT?

"Tucker Carlson appears to be edging out Jared Kushner in the battle for President Trump's ear."

This was in today's Axios PM email. Can one imagine, pre-Trump, ever seeing anything quite so bizarre; that the president's son-in-law (nepotism) is being supplanted by venal television presenter.

More depressing still is the revelation that Trump's tepid and belated conversion to criminal justice reform was not a conversion out of conviction but born of political expedience, a decision he reportedly now regrets since he "probably won't win any more Black support because of it".

Remember the good old days when some were wondering whether Trump was a racist ("very fine people, on both sides"); well, to all those skeptics out there, you saw what he retweeted this weekend, so now you know!

And he won't "he won't do anything that could be seen as undercutting police". He probably thinks he's going to need all the protection from the police he can get when he's evicted from the White House, so don't do anything that would lead to a case of the blue flu when he needs them.
