Donald Trump delivered a wild address to supporters in Grand Rapids, Michigan, last night, branding the Robert Mueller investigation “the single greatest political hoax in the history of our country” and accusing House Democrats of “defrauding the public with ridiculous bulls***”.
The president also thanked his friends at Fox News for their support, attacked renewable energy and asylum seekers and, bizarrely, applauded the nearby Great Lakes for their “record deepness”.
His son, Donald Trump Jr, smirked as the crowd chanted “AOC sucks!”, in reference to Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, on the same day that details of the president’s dodging an interview with the FBI special counsel during the 22-month probe began to emerge.
Eric Leonardo Charron of Kansas City, Missouri, appeared in court on Thursday charged with reckless driving and being a prohibited person in possession of a gun.

Well this is pretty amazing.

The head of Twitter’ legal, policy and trust has revealed the president’s favourite social media platform could soon label his tweets which violate its rules.
Vijaya Gadde said he supports keeping Donald Trump’s tweets on the platform as they serve the public interest, but Twitter could mark which statements he makes that are otherwise offensive or inflammatory.
“One of the things we're working really closely on with our product and engineering folks is, 'How can we label that?'" she said, without naming the president but referencing his tweets. “How can we put some context around it so people are aware that that content is actually a violation of our rules and it is serving a particular purpose in remaining on the platform."
A teacher received death threats after asking students to review an essay which appeared to criticise Donald Trump.
The group of seventh grade (Year 8) pupils at a school near Houston, in Texas, were asked to read 10 essays written by students and determine what information could be inferred.
An excerpt from one of the essays, titled "Trump Against American Values", claimed some of the US president’s policies “have gone against what Americans value most, like freedom of opportunity” and that “we have witnessed insensitive remarks towards other racial and cultural groups”.
The president’s tweet storm is continuing with erratic interruptions in between his posts.

Donning red MAGA hats and 2020 campaign gear, rally goers in Michigan railed against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday night as Donald Trump Jr tore into the congresswoman.
The first son lambasted the 29-year-old lawmaker and her calls for a Green New Deal during Donald Trump’s campaign rally, setting the stage for another raucous night laced with falsities and profanity.
“Think about the fact that every mainstream leading Democratic contender is taking the advice of a freshmen congresswoman who three weeks ago didn't know the three branches of government," Mr Trump Jr said to the crowd. “I don't know about you guys but that's pretty scary.”
The audience then started to chant “AOC sucks! AOC sucks!” to which he replied, “You guys, you're not very nice and neither is what that policy would do to this country.”
The ruling by US district judge John Bates in Washington, DC, is the second setback in a week for the administration's health care initiatives.
At issue in the latest ruling are so-called "association health plans," in which businesses and sole proprietors can band together to offer lower-cost coverage that doesn't provide all the benefits required under the Affordable Care Act (AKA Obamacare).
President Donald Trump has hailed the small-business plans as a big success, but their impact is difficult to measure.
Unable to repeal the Obama health law in Congress, the Trump administration has tried to use its rule-making powers to create room for alternatives.
