Trump, Handing Candy to Child: 'You Have No Weight Problems–That's Good, Right?'

Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:

• Donald Trump, a drug-resistant urinary tract infection, on Friday welcomed children of the media to the White House, and the whole thing is unbelievable, even for him.“I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children,” he said. “How the media did this, I don’t know.” He also offered one child candy, commenting, “You have no weight problems. That’s the good news, right?” Also, let’s remember that this is the same man who sexualized his infant daughter, once told a 14-year-old girls that “In a couple of years, I’ll be dating you.” [NBC Nightly News]

• Addressing allegations that he used inappropriate influence to award a $300 million contract to Whitefish, a tiny firm based in his hometown in Montana, to help rebuild Puerto Rico’s electrical grid, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke released a statement saying that he has “absolutely nothing to do” with the contract. Zinke said he welcomes an investigation by the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security. [Ryan Zinke/Twitter]
