Today’s comment to GOP donors: _“He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great,” Trump said. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot some day.”_ ---

> [@John\_Stamos\_Left\_Ear](#): > > I put more thought into lunch by checking Yelp than Dick Cheeto does with major policy decisions. Several reports have noted that the steel and aluminum lobbies paid to have an ad aired during Fox News. Trump announced his “decision” to his staff right after the show aired. It’s frightening to think the President can be manipulated like a six-year-old by seeing a commercial on his favorite show. ---

He was 70. An initial report incorrectly stated that he died at his desk in his office at Rockefeller Center. However, the report was soon corrected to state that Rockefeller actually had the fatal heart attack at another location: a townhouse he owned at 13 West 54th Street. The heart attack occurred in the late evening in the presence of Megan Marshack, Rockefeller's remains we... ---
