In a few minutes, President Donald Trump will release a new set of tweets, flooding social-media accounts with his unique brand of digital smelling salts—words that will jolt his supporters and provoke his adversaries.
Nearly a dozen senior aides stand in the Oval Office, crowding behind couches or near door-length windows. This is the way he likes to work, more often than not: in a crowd. He sits behind his desk finishing the tasks of the day, which have included watching new Senate testimony about Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election,...

Seth Meyers has a message for Donald Trump: “I didn’t mind when you talked dirty with Billy Bush, or told Russia to hack Hillary’s emails. But when you start stealing bits from ‘Weekend Update’ anchors – it is on!”

The “Late Night” host’s message for Trump follows an interview the president gave earlier this week to Time Magazine, where he defended some controversial comments and claims he has made in the past, most of which are unsubstantiated.
“I tend to be right. I’m an instinctual person, I happen to be a person that knows how life works,” Trump said in the interview, which came out on Thursday’s issue of the magazine, with a cover that bore the title: “Is Truth Dead?”

Can President Trump handle the truth? Can Twitter handle President Trump’s new interview about the truth?
In its latest issue, Time published an interview with Trump with a cover that reads “Is Truth Dead?” In the story, Trump talks about his own statements that have made headlines, his ability to sell magazines, wiretapping allegations, and more.
And Twitter had a lot to say about it. Most of it wasn’t positive.
@costareports @Fahrenthold @michaelscherer The interview was like the ramblings of a bar drunk at 3 am in the morning.,

@danpfeiffer @michaelscherer Truly the most unhinged "interview" I have ever read.

Time magazine’s new cover boldly declares “The Donald Has Landed: Deal With It.” And Trump makes quite a few new declarations in the 3,049-word piece. “I don’t think the people running for office are real,” the Gop frontrunner told the magazine about his challengers’ penchant for hiring consultants. “They have to throw a lot of consultants away and be themselves. I think it is one of the things that has helped me.” Trump continued his anti-politics-as-usual rallying cries, Michael Scherer wrote, noting that the mogul-turned-politician “can’t really finish three sentences without bragging.” Also Read: Larry Wilmore Unveils...

The Nov. 18 issue of Time magazine is causing quite a controversy, as its cover features the silhouette of newly re-elected New Jersey Governor Chris Christie behind the headline: "The Elephant in the Room." Critics argue that it mocks the politician's self-admitted weight problems, while others believe it refers to his upcoming battle to win over the Republican Party before the 2016 presidential election. Time writer Michael Scherer argues that the headline refers to Christie's larger-than-life persona. "It's not just about his physical size; it's about his whole political act," he tells CBS 2 New York. Regardless of his intent, Scherer's piece isn't sitting well with Fox...

Pots and kettles. On Thursday, the hosts of The Cycle on MSNBC had a bit of fun at the Republican Party’s, and specifically Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-tx), expense. Following the end of the ill-fated government shutdown, Time Magazine’s Michael Scherer and MSNBC host Touré mocked the insulated “bubble” that Republicans live in and the “fake news” they consume.

Time magazine names Barack Obama its "Person of the Year" for 2012, after first giving him the honor in 2008. The issue includes a behind-the-scenes look at Obama's re-election win, never-before-seen photos inside the White House, and a 48-hour Obama photo diary.
In Michael Scherer's exclusive interview with the president, Obama reveals his immediate reaction to "Lincoln," a film he screened with its star, Daniel Day-Lewis, at the White House.
Though he begins by saying a president should not compare himself to Abraham Lincoln, Obama falls short of fulfilling that demand for himself.
"What made [Lincoln] such a remarkable individual, as well as a remarkable President, was his capacity to balance the idea that there are some eternal truths with the fact that we live in the here and now, and the here and now is messy and difficult," says Obama.
He then draws the inevitable comparison to his own presidency: "Being...

On the first day of his two-day, two-state bus tour, President Obama stopped off at Ziggy's Restaurant and Pub in Amherst, Ohio, to engage in a little retail politicking between speeches. The New York Times' Mark Landler, with an assist from Time's Michael Scherer, caught some of the President's conversations with the locals, including a joking (or not?) exchange about turning the bar's televisions away from Obama's not-so-favorite network.

Can it be that the leader of the free world, who recently made a quick lunch out of a roomful of House Republicans, is afraid of getting nailed by Stephen Colbert? In an interview with Michael Scherer, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that President Obama would love to appear on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, but gave Colbert the bump.
