Photo: David McNew/Getty Images The middle of this past decade would have been a transitional moment for Donald Trump even if he did not secure a win in the last election. After receiving and turning down the role of a lifetime playing the president in Sharknado 3 in 2015, CNN floated the possibility of a post-election “weekly show,” according to audio of a call between network president Jeff Zucker and Trump’s former attorney Michael Cohen that was obtained by Fox News.
“I have all these proposals for him,” Zucker told Cohen in a March 2016 call. “I want to do a weekly show with him and all this stuff.” The offer from a major media executive to a representative of a primary front-runner shows just how unseriously Zucker was taking the Trump candidacy at that point — despite Trump’s domination of the delegate count at the time. But it’s also a glaring ethical concern, one that Zucker appears to be aware of.
Zucker also provided debate advice to a candidate who has consistently been reluctant to prepare for debates. “You know what you should do? Whoever’s around him today should just be calling him a con man all day so he’s used to it, so that when he hears it from [Marco] Rubio, it doesn’t matter,” Zucker said. “‘Hey con man, hey con man, hey con man.
The call transcript is just the latest document in the long, strange relationship between Zucker and the billionaire he picked to star in The Apprentice in 2004, launching Trump into another level of stardom. Debuting the audio on his show on Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson rightly criticized Zucker for providing “inside tips on how to navigate the CNN debate from the head of CNN.” However, Carlson has reportedly advised Trump in private on topics ranging from the coronavirus to Iran.

Trump to Campaign in Battleground Nevada, Site of Narrow Loss in 2016The president is making a play for a state he didn’t lose by much four years ago and which some Democrats worry could be within his reach. Would be interesting to see if he can pick up NV if he loses AZ, but I think with all of the CA migrants flooding into both states, the way one goes they will both go. This is fake news ! Absolutely no way Trump wins Nevada!!

Trump niece Mary Trump: Donald is a 'very sick man' responsible for COVID death tollIn her first televised interview since Trump became embroiled in scandal for downplaying the danger of the coronavirus, Mary Trump joins MSNBC’s Ari Melber to react to these Trump-Woodward tape bombshells. She explains his mindset and asserts “he will do and say whatever he feels he needs to in order to benefit somehow, even if tens of thousands Americans die.” Seeing this woman, you don't need to be told she is bitter, jealous unsatisfy and unforgiving woman Nonsense This woman must be bitter... she's just angry and frustrated that she's not with the president... please don't tell me she's a patriot... She's a traitor!
