Opinion: Let’s Celebrate Everything Donald Trump Has Given America
Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/ReutersI come today to praise Donald Trump, not bury him. With less than a month to go before Election Day, and with an oversized mug of tea at my side, I would like to take the moment to celebrate the former president and all he has brought to the nation.Nine years ago, most of the nation laughed at the brassy businessman when he descended his golden escalator to announce his candidacy for President of the United States in front of a crowd of paid extras. We laughed because Donald Trump has always been a laughable figure. Those of us who grew up in the New York area had long been accustomed to the braggadocious real estate developer elbowing his way in front of cameras, pontificating on the love lives of the famous, celebrating his own sexual conquests, bankrupting various businesses, and generally making a buffoon of himself.Nobody’s laughing now.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Trump Really Did Send Putin COVID Gifts, Kremlin Confirms
Kevin Lamarque/ReutersDonald Trump’s morning is surely off to an angry start Wednesday as Russia responds to reports of a special (and ongoing) relationship between the Republican nominee and Vladimir Putin. On Tuesday, excerpts from Watergate journalist Bob Woodward’s forthcoming book War accused Trump of gifting Putin a “bunch of Abbott Point of Care COVID test machines for his personal use” at the height of the pandemic, and of holding as many as seven “private” calls with the Russian president after leaving office. Worse for Trump, Putin’s camp is now saying Woodward’s account is at least partially true.“We also sent equipment at the beginning of the pandemic,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Bloomberg, claiming Russia had indeed received COVID tests from Trump. “But about the phone calls—it’s not true.” Speaking to the New York Times, Peskov called that element of Woodward’s reporting “a typical bogus story in the context of the pre-election political campaign.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
