President Trump this afternoon addressed the North Korean missile program and said if they continue to threaten the United States, "They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen." Yeah, that ought to cool things down. God forbid Trump's ever put in charge of a hostage situation. "Kill a hostage? You don't have the balls! Plus, if you do, I'll kill everyone outside the bank!"

 

A new CNN poll found that only 24 percent of people felt they could trust the Trump administration. That's right, when it comes to trust, Donald Trump ranks just below gas station sushi.

 

Google yesterday fired a software engineer after he distributed a memo arguing that the gender gap in the tech industry is partly because women are more anxious and avoid high-stress jobs. Of course, he's a software engineer. He probably thinks the "gender gap" is where babies come from.

 

A new study shows that the optimal time to dunk an Oreo is three seconds. That's funny, I thought the optimal time was "when you're going through a divorce."

The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon

President Trump is in the middle of his 17-day trip to his New Jersey golf course, but he says it isn't a vacation. And the staff at the White House said, "For us it is."

 

The Kremlin just released photos of Vladimir Putin on vacation. Putin was like, "Forget about the dad bod, feast your eyes on the Vlad bod." As much as people complain about Trump going on vacation, at least he keeps his shirt on.

Jimmy Kimmel Live

President Trump is currently on a 17-day vacation at his golf course in Bedminster, N.J. ... Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin is also on vacation. Kind of suspicious that they're both gone at the same time. It's like when your husband and his secretary go on a work trip together.

 

According to the New York Times … Mike Pence is planning to run for president if Donald Trump doesn't run for a second term. Pence issued a statement strongly denying all of it. He said the article was "disgraceful and offensive to me, my family, and our entire team." He said the suggestion he's running for president in 2020 is "laughable and absurd." Right. Why would Mike Pence want to be president in 2020? He's going to be president much, much sooner than that!

 

Trump reposted a video of himself warning that North Korea would be met with fire and fury. He reposted the video of himself -- which is the presidential equivalent of "liking" your own Facebook post. It's unacceptable.

 

Not only is [Trump] trading threats with Kim Jong Un today, he's also attacking Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. He slammed him twice on Twitter today, and told him to get back to work. From vacation, he said this. Which makes it even more effective.
