I was a dopey sophomore in high school at the time, but even I could see there was something between the president and this aging sex symbol. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower supposedly had girlfriends, John Kennedy had affairs, Bill Clinton had Monica Lewinsky and others, Jimmy Carter had lust in his heart, Barack Obama smoked and Donald Trump had a porn star before he was president.
In this March 16, 2018, file photo, political activist Tom Steyer speaks during an event in Cincinnati. Steyer is spending millions of his own money on a campaign arguing to remove President Donald Trump from office, but the effort isn't necessarily reflected across the rest of the Democratic Party and the progressive left.
Tom Steyer is on a multimillion-dollar mission to impeach Donald Trump, but Democrats whose campaigns the California billionaire is helping bankroll aren't keen to follow his lead.

Mourners pause as former U.S. first lady Barbara Bush lies in repose during the visitation of former first lady Barbara Bush at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Friday, April 20, 2018, in Houston.
Tom Steyer is on a multimillion-dollar mission to impeach Donald Trump, but Democrats whose campaigns the California billionaire is helping bankroll aren't keen to follow his lead. Steyer, whose appeals you may have seen on TV, is spending $40 million on his "Need To Impeach" roadshow, with advertising and town halls around the country.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Wednesday that CIA Director Mike Pompeo could achieve a "remarkably historic" deal with North Korea. "Just think about the Democrats in the Senate right now, wrestling with whether or not to vote for Pompeo to be secretary of state.
Has the State Department been subjected to an ideological purge under the auspices of President Donald Trump? Inquiring House Democrats want to know. In a letter sent to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan on Thursday, Representatives Elijah Cummings and Eliot Engel, the ranking Democrats on the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs committees, are demanding an explanation after receiving "disturbing new documents" from a whistle-blower indicating that senior political appointees at State worked to push out or demote career diplomats deemed insufficiently loyal to Trump and his agenda, with the assistance of right-wing activists and White House officials.
Last week, I noted that President Trump won the shutdown because he instinctively understood the strategic situation far better than Senate Democrats, establishment Republicans, and his other beltway critics. He knew he had a stronger position than the Democrats and used that understanding to his advantage.
Former Speaker of The House Newt Gingrich said President Donald Trump hit a "home run" during his State of The Union address, Wednesday on "Fox & Friends." "I also think [Trump] understands, and this is something Reagan came to understand, last night was a home run.
When President Donald Trump delivers his first State of the Union address today, his most fervent supporters are anxious that he will squander the most high-profile moment of his presidency with a soft speech that bends more to the predilections of the political establishment in Washington and less to the populist army that sent him there to drain the swamp. Trump has always veered between ideological extremes in his speeches: He railed against "American carnage" in his inaugural address last year, then gave a speech to a joint session of Congress a few weeks later that seemed restrained and conventional compared with the chaotic first weeks of his tenure.
It is remarkable that the January 20-22 government shutdown was greeted with a collective shrug from the public. Compared to Newt Gingrich's epic 1995-96 tussle with Bill Clinton and Ted Cruz's showdown with Barack Obama in October 2013, this one barely registered on the national radar.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday said President Trump and the Republicans have "played" the government shutdown to their advantage. Gingrich, a Georgia Republican, said the Democrats erred in opposing a spending bill to keep the government open with their demand to protect the Obama-era program that shields young immigrants brought to the United States by their parents from deportation.
The government has partially shut down three times in the past quarter-century - and far more often in decades past. Shutdowns have led to furloughs of several hundred thousand federal employees, required many government activities to be stopped or curtailed, and affected wide swaths of the economy.
In this Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2018 file photo, President Donald Trump listens during a meeting with lawmakers on immigration policy in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington. One barnyard epithet, and the leader of the free world was now definitively a racist or, alternatively, was back in the good graces of those who had worried he was wavering in his nationalism.

Trump used profane language Thursday, Jan. 11, as he questioned why the U.S. should permit immigrants from certain countries, according to three people briefed on the conversation.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders played a brief recorded video of Trump reading a statement about the tax cut bill he signed into law before Christmas. Trump's video appearance came the day after details from a forthcoming book painted an unflattering portrait of Trump and his administration.
The acrimony surrounding former White House adviser Steve Bannon's very public break with President Donald Trump escalated Thursday, suggesting a permanent split between the president and the pugilistic strategist who helped put him in the Oval Office.
War broke out between President Donald Trump and his former chief strategist, Steve Bannon after disparaging comments Bannon made about his former boss came to light. But three days were all that was needed for the outbreak of the first major US political war of the new year.
No thinker has done a better job documenting the dizzying deterioration of our national fabric than this social psychologist. Through his many books, lectures, and popular articles, Haidt has diagnosed our condition, and his verdict isn't good.
When Robert Mueller was appointed in May to oversee the investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, he was universally praised as the perfect choice.
