President Donald Trump’s frustrations with the Russia investigation boiled over on Air Force One last week when he learned that a top Justice Department official had warned against releasing a memo that could undercut the probe, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

 

 

Trump erupted in anger while traveling to Davos after learning that Associate Attorney General Stephen Boyd warned that it would be “extraordinarily reckless” to release a classified memo written by House Republican staffers. The memo outlines alleged misdeeds at the FBI and Justice Department related to the Russia investigation.

 

 

For Trump, the letter was yet another example of the Justice Department undermining him and stymieing Republican efforts to expose what the president sees as the politically motivated agenda behind Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

 

 

Trump’s outburst capped a week where Trump and senior White House officials personally reproached Attorney General Jeff Sessions and asked White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to speak to others -- episodes that illustrate Trump’s preoccupation with the Justice Department, according to two of the people.

 

 

Trump warned Sessions and others they need to excel at their jobs or go down as the worst in history, the two people said.

The incidents -- and the extraordinary level of Trump’s personal involvement with Justice Department officials on the matter -- are the latest signs of the growing pressure on Trump as a federal investigation into him, his campaign and his administration stretches into its second year.

A new poll published Thursday found that 72 percent of Republican voters feel that President Trump "is a good role model for children." Every other category, meanwhile — be it race, age group, or gender — strongly disagreed with that assessment.

The poll, conducted by Quinnipiac University, did find that 90 percent of voters said it was "important" to them that the commander in chief be someone children can look up to. But only Republicans thought the current president fit the bill: A whopping 99 percent of Democratic voters said Trump was not a role model for children, as did 71 percent of independent voters, 67 percent of male voters, and 68 percent of female voters.

Quinnipiac's poll was conducted between Jan. 19-23 — roughly a week after reports surfaced that Trump had an affair with an adult movie star in 2006. It surveyed 1,245 voters across the country over the phone and has a margin of error of 3.3 percentage points. Read the full results here. Kelly O'Meara Morale

That's the definition of blind loyalty right there. Republicans

Trump is no role model for children.  I often wondered about parents that push role models on their children, just teach your kids to think logically and seek knowledge.

The best candidate doesn't necessarily mean she is a great role model. Though I'm also not really sure she was the best candidate either

 

I'm actually struggling to think of any modern politician that I would consider a good role model...the sad reality of modern politics.

Nah brah.. in all seriousness. 

A good steak should be served with 0 condiments. 

If you think your streak is to dry.. order medium rare or a fattier cut.
