Trumps call for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel after joke about first lady

Both President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, are calling on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel after the late-night comic joked last week that the first lady had “the glow of an expectant widow.” Kimmel made the joke while delivering a mock comic routine for the White House Correspondents' Association dinner — two nights before that event was cut short when a man tried to rush the ballroom where the Trumps and other leaders were. Melania Trump said Monday on social media that people like Kimmel “shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.” The president said Kimmel's words were “beyond the pale.”

Trump defends drug price claims by citing 'two ways of calculating'

President Donald Trump, known for popularizing the term "fake news," seems to have shifted focus to a healthy dose of fake math in defending impossibly large cuts to prescription drug prices. During a Thursday event with drugmaker Regeneron, Trump argued that prescription drug prices were cut by well over 100%. This is mathematically impossible without prices dropping to zero and then manufacturers presumably paying customers to use their products. Trump acknowledged boasting about reductions of “500%, 600%” but called it a "different kind of calculation." His health chief, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also tried to justify the incorrect calculations, but no valid math supports Trump’s claims.
