It’s a fortress.” The Spectator article, written by Scott McKay, concludes ominously.  “It’s in a building like this that one might conceive of the plot to destroy a duly elected president of the United States might be hatched”…Looks like the DonaldTrump/ Bill Maher  bromance is in full-flower.  On yesterday’s “Club Random” podcast, Maher admitted that Trump’s tariffs hadn’t tanked the economy and the country’s economy seemed to be in good shape.  Trump noticed the positive words and posted a one-minute clip of Maher’s observation and simply wrote, “Thanks Bill!”  Worth noting: The Wall Street Journal’s Editor-at-Large Gerald Baker shares Maher’s opinion in this op-ed: If Trump’s Tariffs Are So Bad, Where’s the Recession?….So much for mainstream media: The Donald  gave Breitbart News an exclusive hour-long interview in Scotland yesterday.  Breitbart featured Trump praises for his new Aberdeen golf course.  Not exactly stop-the-presses news..Trump Administration 1.0 “It Girl” Hope Hicks has a new gig.  Podcast superstar Megyn Kelly named Hicks COO of her fast-growing company, Devil May Care Media.
