Forbes magazine recently featured Kylie Jenner on their cover with the headline “At 21, Kylie Jenner Becomes The Youngest Self-Made Billionaire Ever.” And it didn’t take long for the haters to come out, in force, to rag on both Forbes and Kylie.
In some sense, Donald Trump was replaying the role of the unpopular tenure of loudmouth Democrat Harry Truman (president, 1945–53). “Give ’em Hell” Harry came into office following the death of Franklin Roosevelt.

So while you were at work, what were the Dems up to? Arguing over whether they should condemn anti-Semitism. What a strange place to be: debating how to condemn hate.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly near the end of his investigation. Judging by the spin already coming from the Democrats, liberals are growing increasingly nervous that Mueller’s report won’t actually reveal any evidence of collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.
