Donald abandoned his 3 oldest kids, when they were all in grade school, to run off with a mistresses. He had a child with that mistress, speculated about the eventual size of that baby's breasts, and then abandoned her too. He married his next mistress. And cheated on her with someone in porn.

‘Native advertising' allows fossil fuel companies to disguise their ads in news outlets. A new book argues the practice undermines journalistic credibility.
