Donald Trump still beats Hillary Clinton, any poll day of the week

A new survey from NBC/Wall Street Journal finds that -- and this is the yada, yada, yawn part -- President Donald Trump's popularity with the American people has hit a new low.

Michael Reagan: My dad wouldn’t ‘kick the dreamers out’

Michael Reagan tweeted: "Fyi, my father would not kick the dreamers out of the US. He would find a way to work with Congress and lead."

Donald Trump, amid whispers of ‘hard time’ with John Kelly, tweets only praise

President Donald Trump, according to various media reports -- which, to be fair, always paint this White House as a stumbling block of inefficiency, infighting and chaos -- is having a tough time adjusting to his Chief of Staff John Kelly's way of doing business.
