Donald Trump has had plenty of volatile exchanges with the press since he announced his candidacy, but he's saved some of his most searing personal attacks for Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. In the course of the campaign, Trump went from promoting his many appearances on the show – and having off-the-record phone calls with the hosts – to calling Brzezinski "a neurotic and not very bright mess" and suggesting she "had a mental breakdown while talking about me" last summer.

Neil Gorsuch‘s road to the Supreme Court was always going to be tricky. Nominated by a man who has personally attacked judges when he’s worried they won’t agree with him, Gorsuch was going to have to tiptoe around President Donald Trump‘s disregard for judicial independence. But when Gorsuch spoke out against Trump’s judicial criticism during private meetings — and the President fired back on Twitter — it showed the stakes of the game on both sides.

U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel denied President-elect Donald Trump’s bid to exclude both media coverage around Trump University and controversies that surfaced during his bid for the White House. The preliminary ruling came down on Thursday citing a “lack of specificity” in the defense team’s request to exclude such evidence. The trial is set to begin on Nov. 28. Trump’s attorney also requested a trial delay citing the president-elect’s “monumental” obligations, according to New York Daily News reporter Nancy Dillon, who was seated in the San Diego courtroom.

On Donald Trump's path to the White House, he'll have to make a detour on Nov. 28 to San Diego, Calif., to face claims in a civil lawsuit of duping Trump University students. At the coming trial, a reprisal of many of the most incendiary elements of his presidential campaign may occur. In advance of a hearing on Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel put out a tentative ruling that denied a motion by Trump's lawyer to exclude all evidence and arguments relating to the events of the presidential primaries and general election.

The director has claimed that people should “just get over” remarks by the presidential candidate that have been criticised as racist.
Clint Eastwood has stirred controversy by claiming that people should “just f*cking get over” racially sensitive remarks made by presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist,” said the 86-year-old Hollywood icon in an interview with Esquire magazine.
Republican nominee Trump has drawn criticism on multiple occasions for making controversial remarks throughout his campaign. In June, he verbally attacked federal judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is overseeing a series of lawsuits against Trump University, claiming that his Mexican heritage meant he was biased.
Commenting on those remarks, Eastwood admitted that Trump has “said a lot of dumb things” but derided the “big hoodoo” around that example, referring to the current climate as “a sad time in history...

Is Sen. Dan Sullivan in the running for Donald Trump's second in command? You betcha! The junior senator, whose name is the latest to bubble up among People's Gop sources monitoring the Trump 'veepstakes,' isn't a "mama grizzly" or a hockey mom, but he just might be the latest representative of Alaska to enter the presidential race, following fellow Alaskan Sarah Palin.

First it was his race-based attack on a federal judge. Now, it's Donald Trump's bald politicization of the Orlando terror attack that has his fellow Republicans cringing - and worse. It's been over a month since his last remaining competitors - Ted Cruz and John Kasich - bowed out of the race, and it seems that the majority of the Republican establishment has accepted what seems to be the inevitable: Donald Trump will be the party's nominee in the general election this November. But even in these last few weeks before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Trump has...

Donald Trump has, finally, all but united the Republican Party - in denunciation of his continued, race-based attacks on U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over the civil lawsuits against the candidate's Trump University. "I disavow these comments. I regret those comments that [Trump] made," said House Speaker Paul Ryan during a press conference Tuesday. "Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment ... it's absolutely unacceptable." And Sen. Mark Kirk, a Republican from Illinois facing a tough reelection battle this year, flat out withdrew...

House Speaker Paul Ryan thinks Donald Trump’s recent comments on an American-born judge’s Mexican heritage are “the textbook definition of racist comments.” However, Ryan says he will still support Trump because his agenda is more likely to get enacted under Trump than Democrat Hillary Clinton. CNN’s John Berman joked that Republicans might as well say, “He’s racist, but he’s our racist.” Trump recently said U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel cannot judge him fairly because he is of Mexican heritage and Trump plans to build a wall with Mexico.

Donald Trump came under scrutiny after making controversial remarks about U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel's Mexican heritage. Late Night host Seth Meyers took "A Closer Look" at the issue that could potentially detail the Gop frontrunner.
Trump insinuated the Indiana-born judge overseeing the Trump University case was unfit to adjudicate because of his ethnic background. "He's Mexican," Trump said last week regarding the case. "We're building a wall between here and Mexico."
"Some have called Trump's attacks 'racist' while others have called them 'very racist,'" Meyers said.

In certain cases, the two sides are much simpler: right and wrong. In those relatively rare cases it should be the media's obligation and duty to shed the veneer of "objectivity" and specifically and vociferously call it what it is. Wrong. Donald Trump's claim that Judge Gonzalo Curiel, presiding over one of the lawsuits against Trump University, is somehow biased against him because he is "Mexican" (born in Indiana of course) is one of those cases.

Trump University Playbook Unsealed: Encouraged Would-Be Students to Use 'Opm' (Other People's Money)
Playbooks used to market Donald Trump's now-defunct Trump University were unsealed by court order on Tuesday, showing that the training program's aggressive sales force promised would-be students they would learn "the technique of using Opm ... other people's money." The playbooks, which Trump's lawyers in a class-action suit by disgruntled former students fought to keep secret, were released Tuesday afternoon by the judge in the case, Gonzalo Curiel. Trump has derided Curiel in recent days as "a hater" and "a Mexican."
