Trump can try to blame the media all he wants because we know he never accepts responsibility for anything, but the Zacharia debacle was 100% his fault for appointing some utterly unqualified for a senior government position because he liked how she looked on Fox. Again.

I predict that Katie Zacharia is going to be the answer to a very difficult pub quiz question within about 5 years. A question where, when the host gives the answer, half the patrons will say "oh yeah, her," and the other half will say "nah, don't remember her at all."

Zelenskyy simply and accurately explains why giving up the Donbas won’t end the war: "Putin says he wants the Donbas, but why, at the start of the full-scale invasion, was he trying to occupy Kyiv? Is that the east of our country? Is that the Donbas? No, that’s the capital.

The blame for having an incompetent press secretary rests solely with Donald Trump, not Katie Zacharia. She can’t help that she’s incompetent, *he* chose to appoint her anyway. Just like he chose to appoint incompetent Pete Hegseth and incompetent RFK Jr.

Trump is taking more questions before departure. He said his new White House press secretary can reconsider the spot if she wants, and he has offered to allow that. Also touted the success of his rallies in boosting Ken Paxton. "These rallies have changed the whole game," said Trump. (2/3)

Trump already throwing new press secretary Katie Zacharia under the bus: “She’s been treated, I would say, very nastily. And I said to her Katie… you don’t have to do this.” Reporter: “Are you going to keep her?” Trump: “I’m going to let her make that decision.”

Records show that Trump hasn’t paid a single dollar out of his own pocket for the ballroom, despite repeatedly insisting that he was going to pay for it when the project was announced. But if you go to a Trump rally the attendees will insist that he paid for the whole thing.
