As the incoming head of Carleton's journalism program, I'm deeply committed to the steps we're taking today to foster greater diversity and inclusion @JSchool_CU and to tackle institutionalized racism. This is just a beginning.

Trump's insults and degrading comments directed at journalists are beyond the pale, but he gets away with it again and again. This time he's unloading on a male reporter, for a change. Maybe the reporter should have asked "but do you think I have a nice ass?"

"You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell."

President Trump unloads on a reporter after he repeatedly questions whether the president's decision to skip a Saturday rally in Kansas has anything to do with his health or travel schedule.

"You've been following me for two weeks. I feel perfect."

The president says he simply doesn't feel the need to travel to Kansas because he feels good about upcoming elections in the state.
