This makes absolutely no sense.

On Friday, President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that his first choice for Director of National Intelligence, Republican Representative John Ratcliffe of Texas, decided to remain in Congress.


Ratcliffe had been dubbed the least qualified for National Intelligence in history. Among Ratcliffe's easily found faults were lies on his resume and in his various claims.

Because of the ease with which the press found Ratcliffe's lies, many questioned the White House vetting process of their nominees.

White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor asked President Trump about it while he spoke to reporters on his way to his Bedminster golf resort for the weekend.

Watch the exchange here, moments after Trump blamed the press for finding Ratcliffe's lies.

The President stated he had a sheet of paper in his pocket with his shortlist of new nominees. He declined to produce the piece of paper.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
