Trump Uses Black History Month Listening Session To Attack Media
On what was billed as a lis- tening session to mark the start of African-American History Month, President Donald Trump took the occasion to once again criticize the media for covering him unfairly while also praising famed abolition- ist Frederick Douglass as “somebody who has done an amazing job and is being rec- ognized more and more.”
“Last month we celebrated the life of Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., whose in- credible example is unique in American history. You read all about Dr. Martin Luther King a week ago when some- body said I took the statue out of my office.

The President did not call the acting Attorney General, Sally Yates to fire her, he sent her a letter instead.
President Donald Trump fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates Monday night for "refusing to enforce a legal order designed to pro- tect the citizens of the United States," the White House said.

The chamber of Con- gress has been in chaos after controversial directives from the White House, has led to Democratic opposition to President Trump’s politi- cal appointees and protests around the country.
Democrats on Tuesday slowed the pace of confirm- ing Trump’s Cabinet nomi-
nees to a crawl, outraging Re- publicans, who accused them of unprecedented obstruc- tion. The tactical move trig- gered a leading Republican to label Democrats “idiots.” Meanwhile, a liberal Democ- rat accused one of Trump’s Cabinet picks of lying to the Senate.
And the Supreme Court battle hasn’t really gotten started yet.
Democrats boycotted a meeting of the Senate Fi- nance Committee, preventing
scheduled votes on Trump’s picks to head the Treasury and Health and Human Serv- ices departments. They also filibustered a vote on Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), nominated for attorney gen- eral, in the Judiciary Com- mittee, forcing Republicans to adjourn the meeting with- out action.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blasted Democrats for inten- tionally causing “chaos” and called their behavior “fool- ish.”
