Donald Trump today veered off his scripted remarks to briefly lie about where the Orlando shooter was born in an apparent effort to bolster his call for a ban on Muslims entering the country.

This weekend, Gawker pal Anthony Scaramucci was in Park City, Utah, trying to raise money for Donald Trump by warning Romney Republicans that if they don’t support their party’s presumptive nominee they might end up with Gary Busey on the Supreme Court.

Of all the 5,500 words in The New Yorker’s recent exploration into the GOP’s struggle to accept Donald Trump, two sentences stand out as particularly devastating. Specifically, the sentences in which we learn the true depths of Chris Christie’s new living hell as an unpaid McDonald’s delivery intern for Mr. Donald Trump.

Donald Trump, one of the two people most likely to become our next president, spent the day disseminating unverified information and using innocent victims’ deaths as a chance to pat himself on the back. And he’s just getting started.

The presumptive face of the Republican Party screamed a series of loosely related words at thousands of people in Tampa earlier today, pausing only to clap quietly to himself as he embraced a large piece of colored cloth.

Last month, Gawker attempted to reach a Donald Trump supporter by the name of Greg Bonecutter, who’d told the Guardian that if it were up to him, “We’d bring back public execution and there’d be several trap doors on the White House lawn.” We wanted to know what was under the trap doors.

On Thursday, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal released mammoth reports documenting Donald Trump’s alleged failures to pay his bills full. In hundreds of court filings from more than 30 states, the newspapers found businesses owners, contractors and employees who claimed Trump and his companies refused to pay what they owed.

Today The Daily Beast published an article titled “Anarchists for Donald Trump—Let the Empire Burn” in which the freelance journalist Christopher Ketcham explains the logic of certain progressive voters, including himself, who intend to vote for the presumptive Republican nominee in November. A sampling:

It should surprise no one that a baby-faced real estate scion who made his millions leveraging his surname—despite a family history of corruption and criminality—would accrue influence in the Donald Trump campaign. And yet, apparently, Trump staffers are baffled at the rise of the presumptive Republican nominee’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

A Bloomberg report released Wednesday offered surprising new details about Donald Trump’s search for Vice President, including his consideration of “at least one” former rival who hasn’t endorsed him and concerns within the campaign that Trump will suddenly announce his pick online.

While Donald Trump has stopped explaining his racially-based attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel, his supporters have soldiered on. That includes vaping congressman Duncan Hunter, who creatively defended Trump’s remarks on Wednesday by imagining a trial featuring deceased American Sniper Chris Kyle.

During a CNN panel discussion on Tuesday, former Reagan aide Jeffrey Lord argued that Donald Trump’s widely condemned comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel were not, in fact, racist and were instead pointing out racism.

Pam Bondi wasn’t the only state attorney general to drop a Trump University probe: Greg Abbot—now the governor of Texas—closed his office’s civil investigation of “possibly deceptive trade practices” in 2010 after Trump University pulled out of Texas. Campaign finance records show that Trump subsequently donated $35,000 to Abbott’s successful gubernatorial bid.

Paul Ryan, who endorsed Donald Trump and might even vote for him when all is said and done, today proudly declared his candidate’s most recent statements as “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”

Donald Trump this week hired a new national political director and forgot to tell his campaign, so things are going great over there—thanks for asking.

Donald Trump has not even officially assumed the title as Republican nominee for president and already his campaign isn’t even bothering to hide that it’s tearing itself in two. Specifically, this past weekend, Paul Manafort, the longtime GOP dementor brought on by Trump to give his campaign an air of professionalism—or aides loyal to him—used MSNBC as a vessel to spark a revolt within the campaign.

David French, who mounted a third party presidential campaign for several days last week, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe variety show this morning for some reason, and said the Trump campaign tried to menace his wife and spook him out of running.

Florida’s attorney general, Pam Bondi, has confirmed that she personally solicited a political contribution from Donald Trump at the time her office was considering prosecuting Trump University for fraud, the Associated Press reports. A Trump family foundation gave a nonprofit controlled by Bondi $25,000, and Bondi dropped the case.

On Monday, Democratic congressman Filemon Vela offered Donald Trump some unsolicited advice on the placement of his “frankly astounding and asinine” border wall, recommending the Republican nominee “shove it up [his] ass,” which is racist.

Donald Trump, at least two snitches tell Bloomberg, got on a conference call today with his supporters to urge them to attack the judge overseeing two federal lawsuits filed against the entity formally known as Trump University. He also encouraged them to brand any reporters criticizing him for it as “racist.”
