I think if you were to come up with a list of the dumbest things that Donald Trump has done as president of the United States, renaming the Gulf of Mexico would have to be in the top five. I mean, you know, obviously telling people that they can inject disinfectants into their body, that's probably still at number one, that's the reigning champion.
But renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, I'd have to put it in my top five. And because the Associated Press won't go along with that because they're serious journalists and they're not here to do the propaganda for the aspiring autocrat in the Oval Office, that's why they're being punished. And I worry it's a test case.

I worry that if they get away with this, they're going to start doing it to other news organizations, other journalists, and then it's a slippery slope from there.

You know, I mean, it's hard to see somebody out Spicer, Sean Spicer, or out Huckabee, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. But Caroline Leavitt, she's making a run for it. You know, she just might get on Trump's all-star team of liars. You know, she might be on the bench right now. But if she keeps working hard, if she does her homework, she just might make it onto the team.

As I used to say about Sean Spicer, the problem for Sean Spicer was not that Melissa McCarthy became Sean Spicer, it was that Sean Spicer became Melissa McCarthy in that caricature that we used to all laugh about on Saturday Night Live. Caroline Leavitt, unless they've already done it on SNL, I would have to think that something like that is in the works because the skit writes itself.
