GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! And the world is spinning, and she keeps on winning—but tell me what happens when it stops? LET'S GO TO PRESS.
Today in Trump's horrible, racist administration: The White House has announced a new regulation that would allow the US to indefinitely hold migrant families who cross the border, ignoring a former rule that put a time limit on how long children could remain in detention. It's expected to be immediately challenged in court.
Related: Trump's anti-Semitism reared its ugly head again when he said that any Jew who doesn't vote for him is "disloyal."
It only took one phone call from the NRA to make Trump furiously backpedal on his tough talk about guns, and now he's back to parroting NRA talking points and lying about Democrats violating the second amendment.
In more "THIS IS NOT NORMAL, GUYS" Trump news: Denmark is furious that the president canceled a visit to their country because they are refusing to sell Greenland.
Hey Fellow Americans,
This is Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark. She told Trump to shove his desire to buy Greenland up his ass and is now bing rewarded by not having to meet him. That is a great example of a strong woman beating Trump. Take notice how easy it is.

Former Trump enabler and liar Sean Spicer is begging for America's forgiveness by appearing on... Dancing with the Stars? Good luck with that, a-hole.
