Nobody is playing pretend. He’s used the word before. Likely profusely.

Trump is holding back on releasing the N-word tape until closer to elections. He doesn't want the support of his base to peak too early.

That’s the plan with them. Overload the senses until people tune out.

Correction from today’s briefing: Jobs numbers for Pres Trump and Pres Obama were correct, but the time frame for Pres Obama wasn’t. I’m sorry for the mistake, but no apologies for the 700,000 jobs for African Americans created under President Trump.

It’s more than just belief.

The base demands the lies. They crave them. Dorito delivers, as all good salesmen do.

“Erratic conduct and behavior” are reasons @realDonaldTrump is revoking ex @CIA director @JohnBrennan’s security clearance. Adds Brennan has conducted “frenzied commentary.”

"Once again this is looked at by a case-by-case basis," Sarah Sanders says when asked if criticizing the president on TV makes one more likely to lose his/her security clearance.

A couple of weeks ago, Paul Ryan downplayed Trump's threats to revoke his political enemies' security clearances, saying "I think he's just trolling people."

Here's something @JohnBrennan said about the president yesterday, on Twitter: "It’s astounding how often you fail to live up to minimum standards of decency, civility, & probity... you will never understand what it means to be president."
