This weekend was the big March for Science, and there were a lot of animal rights activists protesting Trump's policies on endangered species. Trump was like: "I love endangered species! That's why I refuse to drink the new Unicorn Frappuccino at Starbucks!"

Nothing matters to Donald Trump more than ratings. When Trump was asked if he planned to fire embattled press secretary Sean Spicer, he said: "I'm not firing Sean Spicer, that guy gets great ratings. Everyone tunes in." It's true. You can't tear your eyes away from Sean Spicer. It's like watching a car crash that knows nothing about the Holocaust.

 

Ivanka spoke on a panel titled "Inspiring Women: Scaling Up Women's Entrepreneurship." And the Trump family has a long history of inspiring women -- to march, to sue, to flee from a dressing room.

 

When Ivanka was talking about her father and how he was a champion of family leave, she was met with groans and hisses from the audience. Well, that's not fair. Trump obviously supports family leave. That's why he's always leaving one and starting another.
