“Fire and Fury” author Michael Wolff’s accusation that President Trump is
currently having an affair set off online speculation Saturday about who the other
party might be. Based on Wolff’s clues, it appears he’s making insinuations about
UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.
A quick side note before we go further: This is gross on every level. We don’t have
any evidence whatsoever to suggest that what Wolff is hinting at is true, so please
consider this a story about an author making an accusation he admits he can’t
prove.
That said, Wolff went on “Real Time With Bill Maher” Friday to provide some
encouragement to readers who may have given up halfway through “Fire and
Fury” when he said a passage near the end of his book hints at the affair.

He Said This
“Now that I’ve told you, when you hit that paragraph you’re going to say bingo,”
Wolff told Maher.
We’ve read the book. While there are icky descriptions about Trump’s behavior
with his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, they come before the book’s midway point.
(“You’re the best piece of tail he’ll ever have!” Trump is quoted as telling Hicks
about an ex, which Wolff says sent Hicks “running from the room.”)
The only passage we’ve found near the end of the book that references a Trump
relationship with a woman who isn’t his wife or daughter is this one:
By October, however, many on the president’s staff took particular notice of one of
the few remaining Trump opportunists: Nikki Haley, the UN ambassador. Haley —
‘as ambitious as Lucifer,” in the characterization of one member of the senior staff
— had concluded that Trump’s tenure would last, at best, a single term, and that
she, with requisite submission, could be his heir apparent. Haley had courted and
befriended Ivanka, and Ivanka had brought her into the family circle, where she
had become a particular focus of Trump’s attention, and he of hers.
Bingo? Wolff adds that Trump “had been spending a notable amount of private
time with Haley on Air Force One and was seen to be grooming her for a political
future.”
Wolff cited one “senior Trumper” who said the problem with Trump mentoring
Haley “is that she is so much smarter than him.”

The White House, Haley and Wolff did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
There are many problems with this theory, aside from Wolff going on national
television to accuse people of having affairs. Among them: Haley, the former
governor of South Carolina, was one of Trump’s early Republican critics.
She campaigned for Marco Rubio and then supported Ted Cruz. When she gave
the Republican response to President Obama’s final State of the Union address, she
seemed to criticize Trump when she said: “During anxious times, it can be
tempting to follow the siren call of the angriest voices.” Trump responded by
calling her “weak” on immigration.
President Donald Trump addressed the Women’s Marches last year by suggesting
that the hundreds of thousands of people who turned out should have expressed
their feelings toward him at the ballot box.
“Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an
election! Why didn’t these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly,” he tweeted,
shortly before claiming to “respect the rights of people to express their views.”
This year, he tried a different, more creative approach: attempting to take
ownership of the event to push his own agenda.
“Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for Women to March,”
Trump wrote Saturday.
He then urged people to “[g]et out there now to celebrate the historic milestones”
he said his administration had achieved, appearing to ignore that the marches
largely exist to protest him, his presidency, his rhetoric toward women and his
stances on a number of other issues.
The two-time Oscar nominee, who couldn't attend the demonstration due to her
commitment to the late-night sketch-comedy series, devoted her intro to those who
were, performing Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" alongside Kate McKinnon
and Cecily Strong. The anthemic monologue followed the second consecutive cold
open without Alec Baldwin's Donald Trump, which failed to find a clever way to
spoof the results of the president’s recent physical exam.
The evening's best political satire came during Weekend Update, thanks to the
aforementioned McKinnon and Strong. It was also a good night for featured player
Chris Redd, who struck gold with a truly bizarre Fresh Prince of Bel-Air parody.
Keep scrolling for the best and worst sketches…
BEST: WEEKEND UPDATE
"This week, I was finally able to google'Stormy Daniels' on my work computer,"
Colin Jost deadpanned. Before long, Cecily Strong arrived in character as Trump's
ex-porn star mistress and claimed she was the hero America deserves at this very
moment.
Best of all was Kate McKinnon's Robert Mueller, who updated Jost on the
investigation by giddily declaring, "We good." The Special Counsel also teased
that his findings would satisfy in ways that the Lostfinale did not. (I'll let you guys
debate that joke in the comments!)
BEST: FRESH PRINCE
Redd has shown glimpses of greatness before (take for instance his turn as Captain
Shadow sidekick Cardinal), but the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air spoof was his breakout
moment. This bleak reimagining of the Will Smith sitcom wasn't "haha" funny, but
it was easily among the most ambitious and entertaining things the show has done
all season.
BEST: GOOGLE TALK
Simple premise, perfect execution. The reveal of Mikey Day, whose Burt Sampson
resembled a certain Simpsons character, garnered the biggest laugh of the night.
The "Ay, Caramba!" meme was an added bonus.
HONORABLE MENTION: WHAT EVEN MATTERS ANYMORE
This one was clearly going for a funny-because-it's-true vibe, but the fact that such
a sketch has reason to exist made me more sad than anything else. Discovering that
there was no real game show within the world of the sketch, and it was just
Chastain forcing Strong, McKinnon and Kenan Thompson to play along, was the
most amusing part.
WORST: PRESS CONFERENCE COLD OPEN
As hit-or-miss as the Trump cold opens have been as of late, the ones without him
have been even worse. Aidy Bryant's Sarah Huckabee Sanders continues to lack as
a character, and Beck Bennett pretty much felt like he was mimicking the real
press conference with White House doctor Ronny Jackson (save for that gagworthy pineapple joke).
WORST: MOVIE SET WITH JESSICA CHASTAIN
If someone has an explanation for why this excruciating Kenan Thompson bit
keeps coming back, I'd love to hear it. It’s always the same exact thing, with
Thompson as the buffoonish director who instructs his actors to ham it up for the
camera. This was a painful way to end the night.

The USS Akron: America's Flying Aircraft Carrier
Nearly a hundred years ago the U.S. Navy asked a question: if airplanes can fly
through the air, why couldn’t a vessel carrying them fly through the air as well?
The result was the Akron-class airships, the only flying aircraft carriers put into
service in any country. Although promising, a pair of accidents—prompted by the
airship’s limitations—destroyed the flying carrier fleet and ended development of
the entire concept.
The Akron-class airships were designed and built in the late 1920s. The ships were
designed, like conventional seagoing aircraft carriers, to reconnoiter the seas and
search for the enemy main battle fleet. Once the enemy fleet was located, the U.S.
Navy’s battleships would close with the enemy and defeat them. This was a
primitive and limiting use of the aircraft carrier, which had not yet evolved into the
centerpiece of U.S. naval striking power.
The airships of the Akron class, Akron and Macon, were ordered in 1926 before
the Great Depression. The two ships were commissioned into U.S. Navy service in
1931 and 1933, respectively. The Akron class was a classic pill-shaped interwar
airship design, with a rigid skin made of cloth and aluminum and filled with
helium. The air vessel was powered by eight Maybach twelve-cylinder engines
developing a total 6,700 horsepower. At 785 feet each was longer than a
Tennessee-class battleship, had a crew of just sixty each, and could cruise at fiftyfive knots. The airships were lightly armed, with just eight .30 caliber machine
guns.

Unique among airships, the Akron class carried fixed-wing aircraft and could
launch and recover them in flight. Each airship carried up to five Curtiss F9C
Sparrowhawk fighters, lightweight biplanes with a crew of one and armed with two
.30 caliber Browning machine guns. The airships each concealed a hangar within
their enormous airframe and launched and recovered the Sparrowhawks through a
hook system that lowered them into the airstream, whereupon they would detach
and fly off. The system worked in reverse to recover the tiny fighters.
The flying carrier concept had its advantages and disadvantages compared to the
“traditional” seagoing carrier. Akron and Macon were twice as fast as surface
ships, and could therefore cover more ground. By their very nature those onboard
could see much farther over the horizon than surface ships, and their
Sparrowhawks extended that range even farther. For just sixty men manning each
airship the Navy had a powerful reconnaissance capability to assist the battle fleet
in fighting a decisive naval battle.
The airships did have their disadvantages. Akron and Macon were both prone to
the whims of weather, and could become difficult to handle in high winds: in
February 1932 Akron broke away from its handlers just as a group of visiting
congressmen were waiting to board. Three months later in San Diego, two sailors
were thrown to their deaths and a third was injured trying to moor the airship to the
ground. Bad weather grounded the airships entirely, weather a traditional seagoing
warship could handle with relative ease.
On April 3, 1933 USS Akron was on a mission to calibrate its radio equipment off
the coast of New Jersey when it ran into trouble. Strong winds caused the Akron to
plunge 1,000 feet in a matter of seconds, and the crew made the snap decision to
dump the water ballast to regain altitude. The airship ended up rising too quickly
and the crew lost control. Akron crashed into the sea, killing seventy-three out of
seventy-six personnel on board, including the head of the Navy’s Bureau of
Aeronautics and the commander of Naval Air Station Lakehurst and the station’s
Rigid Airship Training & Experimental Squadron.
On February 12, 1935 USS Macon was over the Pacific Ocean when a storm
caused the upper fin to fail. Macon had suffered damage to the fin months earlier,
but the Navy had failed to repair the damage. The collapse of the upper fin took
approximately 20 percent of the ship’s helium with it, causing the airship to rapidly
rise. The crew decided to release additional helium to make it sink again, but too
much helium was lost and the ship descended into the ocean. Macon’s slower crash
than her sister ship Akron, as well as the presence of life jackets and life preservers
aboard the airship, ensured that eighty-one out of eighty-three passengers and crew
survived the accident.
The loss of both airships effectively ended the flying aircraft carrier concept. It’s
interesting to speculate what might have happened had the concept been further
developed and survived until the Second World War. As scouts, airship carriers
would not have lasted long had they accomplished their mission and located
Japanese ships and bases. Oscar and Zero fighters of the Imperial Japanese Army
and Navy would have made short work of the delicate airships and their
lightweight fighters. On the other hand, airships could have adapted to become
formidable antisubmarine warfare platforms for convoy escort duty in the Atlantic
Ocean, standing guard over unarmed merchantmen and fending off German uboats with a combination of fighters and depth charges.
Regardless of speculation, World War II was won without flying aircraft carriers,
proving they weren’t a war-winning asset. The concept has lain dormant for
decades, but recent Pentagon research into turning the C-130 Hercules transport
into a flying aircraft carrier for pilotless drones means the concept is still alive and
well. The flying aircraft carrier could indeed stage a comeback, though with
considerably fewer pilots involved.

WASHINGTON ― With less than two hours to go before a deadline to avert a
government shutdown, 48 senators blocked a four-week government spending
extension, causing the government to partially shutdown at midnight.
Forty-four Democrats and four Republicans voted against the short-term spending
bill that passed the House on Thursday evening, many of them saying they could
not vote for a measure that does nothing for the 700,000 undocumented young
people President Donald Trump has put at risk of losing protection from
deportation. The bill, which needed 60 votes to proceed, failed in a 50-49 vote,
with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) voting against it for
procedural reasons.
Leaders in both chambers haven’t settled on a Plan B. There’s no deal to help socalled Dreamers and no agreement on an even shorter-term bill to extend funding
while they work on one. There’s not even certainty about what Trump actually
wants. Earlier in the day, he rejected an offer from Senate Minority Leader Chuck
Schumer (D-N.Y.) to fund his border wall, the Democrat said. Senators remained
in the chamber discussing a path forward but didn’t find one before the deadline.
Eventually, the Senate adjourned without a deal and will have to return later
Saturday.
It will be difficult to reach a long-term deal to reopen the government. Democrats
want protections for Dreamers first, but White House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders said that’s not something the administration will discuss until
government funding is approved.
“We will not negotiate the status of unlawful immigrants while Democrats hold
our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands,” she said in a statement
just before midnight. “This is the behavior of obstructionist losers, not legislators.
When Democrats start paying our armed forces and first responders, we will
reopen negotiations on immigration reform.”
It wasn’t just Democrats who voted against the bill. Four Republicans also opposed
the four-week funding measure: Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Jeff
Flake of Arizona, Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky. John McCain of
Arizona was not present.
Five Democrats crossed the aisle to vote for the bill: Joe Manchin of West
Virginia, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Doug Jones of Alabama, Claire
McCaskill of Missouri and Joe Donnelly of Indiana.
Republicans also tried to shift blame to the Democrats for a potential shutdown by
adding a six-year extension of the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to
their short-term bill. Then GOP leaders in the Senate decided to hold a vote on that
funding measure even though it was clear minutes before that it didn’t have the
support the pass ― essentially daring Democrats to vote no.
Negotiations over a last-minute deal to extend funding for the government through
Feb. 8 ― one week earlier than the House-passed bill ― collapsed shortly before
midnight after Democrats were unable to secure a commitment from House
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to attach a DACA measure to a must-pass government
funding bill next month, according to senators of both parties. Without the
commitment, Democrats would have no guarantee that Republicans would vote on
DACA before the program expires in March.
McConnell criticized Democrats after the vote for “shoehorning of illegal
immigration into this debate.”
Senators are expected to return to work Saturday in hopes of reaching a deal by
Monday, when most federal employees return to work.
Trump necessitated a legislative fix for so-called Dreamers when he ended the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in September, putting them at
risk of losing work permits and deportation relief.
Republicans insisted there’s no urgency on immigration. But Democrats, at the
urging of Dreamers themselves, stood firm, even though many of them voted for a
spending bill in December. At a time when Trump is simultaneously insisting he
wants an immigration deal and making demands that Democrats find difficult to
stomach ― reportedly discussing immigrants in racist terms and insulting the
lawmakers he is negotiating with ― they argued that tying DACA to government
funding is the best chance they have to do so.
On Friday, ahead of the vote, Schumer went to the White House to meet with
Trump to discuss the deal in person. Schumer said that he offered Trump funding
for his border wall ― something he and other Democrats have said no to
repeatedly. He also told him Democrats would agree to higher defense spending,
according to a source familiar with the conversation, who requested anonymity to
discuss the private meeting. They parted without a firm deal, but the president said
that a short-term spending bill, as proposed by Schumer, was a good idea, the
source said.
But later, it fell apart. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly called Schumer and
said the proposal he had discussed with Trump was too liberal, according to the
source.
Trump tweeted after the meeting that it was “excellent” but hours later was back to
publicly bashing Democrats, accusing them of wanting “a Shutdown in order to
help diminish the great success of the Tax Cuts, and what they are doing for our
booming economy.”
Schumer accused Trump of turning on a bipartisan deal as if he was “rooting for a
shutdown.”
“And now we’ll have one, and the blame should crash entirely on President
Trump’s shoulders.”
Trump lashed out at Democrats in series of tweetsearly Saturday, saying that they
“could have easily made a deal but decided to play Shutdown politics instead.”
