Melania has one foot out the door

Melania Trump is on record saying she hates decorating for Christmas and thinks it’s a huge pain in the ass. Sources close to Melania are also saying, very much off-the-record, that she considers her marriage to Donald Trump “over.” The odds are very much against it — but will the Melania Trump Christmas 2020 theme have anything to do with the seemingly inexorable split?

The Trump event at Four Seasons Total Landscaping was the perfect end to his presidency

It was the absolute best and most fitting way for Donald Trump’s presidency to end. And it didn’t involve any electoral drama, political intrigue, or embarrassing White House standoffs. No, the Trump event at Four Seasons Total Landscaping in Philadelphia was the perfect end of the Trump era because it was a distillation of everything about the man: a big promise, a lot of buildup, stone-faced commitment to a ridiculous mistake. And then, ultimately, nothing of substance at all.

Did Jill Dillard just kinda-sorta endorse Joe Biden for president?

If you’d have asked us about Jill Dillard’s politics before today, we’d have guessed they were as far to the right as the rest of her family.

If you needed further proof that Kanye West’s 2020 campaign is only a bizarre ego trip, you’ll find it in the latest feature on the would-be presidential spoiler.

Kanye’s 2020 presidential run is almost a mathematical impossibility

Thanks to a supremely late entry and a campaign equal parts secretive and disorganized, Kanye West is all but eliminated from the 2020 US presidential race as even a serious spoiler. It all comes down to ballot access — and where is Kanye on the ballot? As of this writing, he’s managed to be included in only three states. And, by contrast, there’s a long and growing list of states where Kanye can no longer get on the ballot at all.

Kanye West says he’s running for president – this year

Five years after he first hinted at a political run, it seems Kanye West might finally be going through with this thing. Last night, the 43-year-old announced his intention to run for President of the United States — this year, with just months to go before the election. So is Kanye for real? How seriously should anyone take this man? And could his Star Wars housing plan for the homeless earn him more support than your average political observer might expect?
