Donald Trump has managed to outlast scandal after scandal, from commenting on Alicia Machado’s weight gain to allegedly colluding with senior Russian intelligence officials during his campaign. But with a New York Times report reviving talk of treason and a redo of the election, is it wise for Trump to mess with such a respected American tradition?
Trump isn't picking a bracket this year. Do people care? ESPN thinks so, placing it in their "Top Headlines" section. Slow news day, guys?

We need a second source on this … maybe a third. Sounds like more fake news.

To be honest, we didn’t even bother reading the linked article about Trump declining ESPN’s offer — the shock and disappointment might be too much to bear.
hard core investigative reporting. I was truly stressed about this.

Dont worry. Im sure @CNN will go wall to wall with Former Pres. Obama announcing his bracket.

"MSNBC with football." Drop them like a hot rock.

Come to think of it, Trump’s been in office nearly a month and still hasn’t been invited to “slow jam the news” either.
