Trump now says he didn’t personally post the racist video and that it was done by a staffer. That raises serious questions. If a staffer handled this post, it’s fair to ask which other public statements or posts are actually coming directly from him versus someone on his team.

Donald's genius ideas for making the Kennedy Center better:
1. Appoint a pack of lowbrow kooks to run it artistically;
2. Slap his lowbrow, toxic name on the building;
3. Performers won't wish to be associated with such a poisoned enterprise so cancel and venues become mostly empty.
