In the months following the summit, Bolton described Trump’s inordinate interest in Pompeo delivering an autographed copy of Elton John’s “Rocket Man” CD to Kim during Pompeo’s follow on visit to North Korea.

“Trump didn’t seem to realize Pompeo hadn’t actually seen Kim Jong Un [during the trip], asking if Pompeo had handed” the CD, wrote Bolton. “Pompeo had not. Getting this CD to Kim remained a high priority for several months.”

During an interview with Gray Television* Wednesday, Trump said he’s not worried about his upcoming rally in Oklahoma because the number of new cases is “very miniscule.”

Saw one on WJLA one day that had me head snap with a 'fake news mainstream media' vibe since JLA is an ABC affiliate.

Some point out that Sinclair is only in like 3 of the top 10 media markets, but that presents a different issue of the propaganda it feeds these smaller markets.

owns or operates 294 television stations across the United States in 89 markets ranging in size from as large as Washington, D.C. to as small as Ottumwa, Iowa–Kirksville, Missouri.
