NEW -- Sure, it involved a lot of humiliating, demeaning sucking up to Donald Trump -- even calling him "Daddy" at one point -- but it worked. Trump didn't threaten to withdraw from NATO, didn't blow everything up to defend his buddy Putin. So, success! www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Trump is boasting that he renamed Fort Bragg after a treasonous Confederate general, as he promised. He did not. It’s unclear whether he’s just pandering to his racist fans of the Confederacy or if he truly does not understand it himself. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
