Robert Kraft Ripped Trump In Front of NFL Owners, Players
Seems Robert Kraft's bromance with Donald Trump is over ... because the Patriots owner reportedly slammed the President during an October meeting with NFL owners, players and league execs.
It all went down at NFL headquarters ... where NFL commish Roger Goodell called the group together to discuss how to handle the fallout from Colin Kaepernick's kneeling demonstration.
After Eagles defensive end Chris Long told the owners Kaep "should be on a roster," Kraft stood up to address the "elephant in the room ... this kneeling."
"The problem we have is, we have a president who will use that as fodder to do his mission that I don’t feel is in the best interests of America," Kraft said according to the NY Times.
"It’s divisive and it’s horrible.”
Surprising words considering Kraft and Trump have been close pals for years.
Other owners also spoke on the issue ... but the bottom line -- six months later, NO ONE HAS SIGNED KAEPERNICK!

Philadelphia Eagles Another Player Won't Visit White House
Another member of the Philadelphia Eagles' 2017 Super Bowl team says he's not planning on going to Trump's White House with the team ... this time it's linebacker Dannell Ellerbe.
"Me personally, I wouldn't go," Ellerbe says ... noting, "I've already been before."
Ellerbe -- who's now a free agent -- is referring to the Super Bowl ring he won as a member of the 2012 Baltimore Ravens team. That squad visited then-President Barack Obama.
But, several Eagles players have stated they're not feeling the current President and will not attend the ceremony at 1600 Penn ... including Torrey Smith, Chris Long and Malcolm Jenkins.
Plus, it recently came out that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie had made some anti-Trump comments -- calling his presidency, "disastrous."
Still, the White House has said it's working with the team to schedule a visit ... it'll be interesting to see who actually shows up.

Stormy Daniels' New Porno Is Killing It
Banging the President has been VERY good for Stormy Daniels' career ... and the proof is in the porn pudding!
Stormy just released her first new movie since the Trump scandal broke -- 'Stormy's Secret' -- in which the self-described "MILF goddess" plays a writer looking to "get those creative juices going."
Spoiler: She succeeds.
The teaser clip, posted on the Brazzers' website, has already racked up more than 150,000 views in the 2 days it's been live ... more views than the previous 2 videos dropped on the site combined, "Christening the Cougar" and "Confessions of a Buttaholic."
Daniels has said she never stopped working in porn -- but had to take a break from on-camera work due to a back injury suffered in a "riding accident."
But, she's back now and vows to knock out even more flicks in 2018 ... including one callled "The Fellate Show."
Heeeeeeeere's Stormy!

Ex-MSNBC Anchor Thomas Roberts I Don't Want Trump (or Russia) Money ... But It's Good For Charity!!!
Thomas Roberts got paid $25k to co-host Donald Trump's 2013 Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, but now he says he doesn't know where that money came from ... so he's giving it away to a good cause.
The former MSNBC anchor was being honored at a gathering of donors and advocates for Human Rights Campaign in D.C. last week, and instead of simply saying thanks, he went a step further with a donation ... along with a playful jab at the Prez.
Roberts is one of the only journalists to have traveled with Trump to Russia, and says he did so in 2013 not only to co-host the pageant with Mel B ... but to stand up to the country's crackdown on LGBTQ people as an out, gay man at a high-profile event.
Now, he feels the best way to continue to champion that cause is to give the $25,000 back to the HRC ... where it can do the most good.

Stormy Daniels Trump Can't Shake Me ... And I'm Still Shaking My Boobs!
Stormy Daniels is flaunting her multitasking, and that's not a euphemism -- she was busy stripping in Detroit Tuesday night, while still keeping the pressure on President Trump.
The porn star did 3 shows at Truth Gentlemen’s Club in the D. These pics are from the early show at 8 PM ... which might explain the thin crowd. The club was expecting a capacity crowd of 800, but no dice.
Can't knock Stormy's hustle though -- she made the appearance smack in the heat of her battle with Donald Trump and his attorney, Michael Cohen. Days after going to court in NYC, and unveiling the infamous sketch of the guy who allegedly threatened her ... there she was shaking her real moneymaker.
If the Trump suit doesn't work out ... girl's gotta make a buck.

White House Goes OFF on James Comey ... That 'Disgraced Partisan Hack'
James Comey is a blatant liar who the American people see right through -- and his book is trash ... according to the White House Press Secretary.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders followed Donald Trump's lead in dealing with the former FBI Director during Friday's press briefing in response to a question about the President's insults of Comey ... by piling on even more.
Sanders slammed Comey's newly released exerpts from his book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership," by calling it a bad PR move to make a quick buck and try to fix his damaged reputation.
Then she went in even harder .... check out the video.
As we reported ... the Prez clearly approves of his press secretary's words, and we're certain he echoes her feelings on Comey's allegations regarding the 'Steele dossier.'

Sarah Silverman Real Reason Trump's Pissed About 'Golden Showers' ...
Sarah Silverman has her own theory on why she thinks President Trump is so worried about the golden showers dossier referenced in James Comey's new book ... and it's got nothing to do with Melania.
We got Sarah leaving Craig's Thursday night in WeHo and straight-up asked her why she thinks 45 was so upset over the so-called Christopher Steele dossier, which claims Trump watched prostitutes urinate on a hotel mattress "as a way of soiling the bed."
Comey wrote in his book claiming Trump ranted to him "if there's even a one percent chance my wife thinks that's true, that's terrible." Silverman thinks Trump was trying to cover up, but not because of Melania. Nyet!

President Trump Comey's a Liar, Slime Ball For 'Golden Showers' Passage in Book
President Trump is, predictably, pissed about former FBI Director James Comey spilling the tea on an alleged "golden showers" convo they had.
Trump ripped into Comey Friday morning, calling him an "untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI." The Prez also said it was his "great honor" to fire Comey.
....untruthful slime ball who was, as time has proven, a terrible Director of the FBI. His handling of the Crooked Hillary Clinton case, and the events surrounding it, will go down as one of the worst “botch jobs” of history. It was my great honor to fire James Comey!
@realDonaldTrump
POTUS is on the attack because passages from Comey's new book, "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership," just came out ... and one includes Comey's claim Trump asked him to disprove the so-called Christopher Steele dossier. Specifically the part of it that claims Trump watched hookers urinate on a mattress.
Trump is now accusing Comey of lying to Congress under oath, as well as blasting him for botching the "Crooked Hillary Clinton case."

James Comey Trump Came to Me To Talk Golden Showers
When it rains it pours ... Donald Trump worried there was a small chance his wife, Melania, might believe Russian hookers peed on a hotel bed where Trump was staying ... this according to former FBI director James Comey.
The hook to Comey's new book -- "A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership" -- is that Trump was extremely upset over the so called Christopher Steele dossier, in which he claimed Trump watched prostitutes urinate on a hotel mattress "as a way of soiling the bed."
Trump called BS on the dossier, but privately met with Comey during a dinner a week after he was sworn in as President, and started ranting it was untrue. In the book, Comey says Trump wanted him to shoot down the story, because it was bothering him that there was "even a one percent chance ... Melania thought it was true."
Comey muses in the book why Melania might ever entertain the idea her husband was into golden showers. The former FBI chief added there was "zero chance" his own wife would believe such a claim.

Former Sen. Bob Kerrey Civil Rights and Vietnam > Trump In Dividing the Country
The notion that President Trump is dividing our nation more than it's been since Vietnam is total crap ... according to former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey.
We got Nebraska's former governor and Senator on Capitol Hill Wednesday, and asked about the political climate under the Trump administration. Our guy barely got out the question before Kerrey interrupted and called BS.
Yes, there have been nationwide rallies against the President's travel ban, and huge marches for women's rights, gun control and immigration laws -- but Kerrey says you're suffering memory loss if ya think it compares to the '60s.
He makes a strong case for 2018 taking a back seat to 1968 ... on many levels.

Alabama Football Hangin' With Trump ... National Title Visit
Donald Trump honored the Alabama Crimson Tide's national title at the White House Tuesday afternoon ... all the while praising their state for helping him win the 2016 election.
Nick Saban and the crew hit 1600 Pennsylvania Ave to celebrate their crazy win over Georgia back in January ... in which Tua Tagovailoa came off the bench and torched the Bulldogs in the OT thriller.
While Trump says he was impressed with the Tide's 3-point win, he boasts about his 32-point win in the Heart of Dixie in 2016 ... and says he's proud of how the players represent the "great, great state."
BTW -- POTUS took the easy way out and bailed on pronouncing Tua's last name ... but you can't really blame him for that.

Michael Irvin on Eagles Skipping Trump Visit: 'Hate That We're at That Place'
Michael Irvin says it's a damn shame some Eagles are boycotting Trump's White House ... and hopes the time-honored tradition can continue once POTUS is outta office.
"I hate that we're at that place," Irvin told TMZ Sports. "Hopefully we can get back to that, if not this President's term, maybe the next."
Remember, The Playmaker won 3 rings with the Cowboys ... so it wasn't a surprise when he told us he thinks the ceremony's a BIG deal.
That said, Mike says he realizes times have changed with #45 in the Oval Office ... so when it comes to Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Long and the other Eagles skippin' out on the visit, he ain't gonna hold it against them.
"That's what politics is. Everybody gets to express their opinions, and those guys are expressing their opinions."

Michael Cohen FBI Raids Office of Trump's Attorney
4:00 PM -- The President calls the raid a "total witch hunt" and an "attack on what we all stand for."
President Trump's attorney was raided by the FBI Monday ... and the operation was put in motion by none other than Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
We've confirmed federal agents swooped into Michael Cohen's NYC office with a search warrant, and seized thousands of documents related to Mueller's Russia investigation. They also reportedly grabbed records of Cohen's $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
Cohen's attorney says the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York got the search warrant based on a referral from Mueller.
The seized docs include communications between Cohen and President Trump ... according to the NY Times, which first reported the raid.
Cohen's attorney called the raid heavy-handed because "It resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney client communications between a lawyer and his clients." He added, Cohen's been fully cooperative with Congress throughout the investigation, and has sat for depositions under oath.

3:45 PM PT -- The Prez says the fire at Trump Tower is out, adding ... "Very confined (well built building). Firemen (and women) did a great job. THANK YOU!"
Donald Trump's got another fire to deal with ... this time a literal one at his Trump Tower in NYC.
The famous skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan is ablaze -- reportedly on its 50th floor -- and witnesses say it started off looking small with just a little bit of smoke ... then doubled in seconds.
Fire in Trump Tower worsening pic.twitter.com/6T1VsOCsuP
@PeterThomasRoth
The fire was initially labeled as a 2-alarm fire ... but has recently been upgraded to a 3-alarm fire by FDNY. There are currently no injuries reported.
Trump Tower serves as the headquarters for The Trump Organization, and many members of the President's family live there or have lived there.
It's unclear at this time what caused the fire, but fire trucks are on the scene and cops have blocked off the streets surrounding the building.

MLK's Daughter Prez Trump's a Long Way From Living Up to the Dream
Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter says President Trump can better honor her father on the 50th anniversary of his assassination with real life actions ... NOT tweets.
We talked to Bernice King on Wednesday about Trump's remembrance to Dr. King, which he did on Twitter. Granted, it's his favorite platform to address the world ... but for Bernice it rings a little hollow.
Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on the 50th anniversary of his assassination. Earlier this year I spoke about Dr. King’s legacy of justice and peace, and his impact on uniting Americans. #MLK50 Proclamation: https://t.co/XXtPO0VX5A pic.twitter.com/SH0esMSyMT
@realDonaldTrump
She admits, it's not realistic to hold POTUS to MLK's standard, but thinks we should be encouraging Trump to better embrace her father's ideals.
Bernice also told us how she and people across the country will mark the moment Dr. King was shot and killed in Memphis.

Roseanne Barr Trump Responsible for My Ratings?? ... HAHAHAHAHA!
Roseanne Barr thinks it's laughable that President Trump kinda tried taking credit for her massive ratings for the premiere of her revived TV show last week ... literally, she LOL'd.
We got the sitcom star Monday night at LAX, where our photog asked what she thought of Trump plugging himself and his supporters for giving "Roseanne" a big bump last Tuesday.
She doesn't hide her feelings about that -- hilariously ridiculous, at least that's how it sounds to us. Then she drops this on us ... there's only one person responsible for the success of the revived "Roseanne" -- and it ain't DT.
Oh, and BTW ... the real Roseanne is just as funny in real life as she is on TV. Now, "go mind your mother."
