In other news, it appears that one of the Trump's foreign policy advisers is a Holocaust denier. Former DoD Inspector General Joseph Schmitz allegedly bragged about firing Jewish employees and told a former colleague that "the ovens were too small to kill 6 million Jews."

This man was the Pentagon's Inspector General from 2002 to 2005. No wonder everything went to shit.

Meanwhile, a group calling themselves INDECLINE installed life-size statues of a nude Donald Trump across the country this morning. The Associated Press story is safe for work, barely.

Finally, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort reportedly tried to stop the infamous taco bowl tweet on Cinco De Mayo, but was overruled by Trump's children.

On Cinco de Mayo, Trump happened to be eating a taco bowl for lunch at his desk in Trump Tower. Manafort was in the office with other aides when a member of the family suggested they tweet a picture of Trump enjoying his “Mexican” lunch.

Manafort politely suggested that this might be seen as condescending and cautioned against it. The tweet went out. Trump himself was delighted by the resulting controversy. “The people who were offended were people we wanted to offend,” he later said.

Everyone seems to think one of Trump's sons told him to tweet the taco bowl, but my money is on Ivanka. We may never know.
