Thousands of people reportedly attended a wedding for the grandson of the leader of the Belz Hasidic sect in Jerusalem on Wednesday night in violation of coronavirus restrictions.
There were conflicting reports about whether the event was held indoors or outdoors, but video said to be from the scene appeared to show attendees in an open air structure. Government rules limit indoor gatherings to 10 people and outdoors to 20.Thursday, August 6, 2020
Donald Trump mispronounces 'Yosemite' at White House event
President Donald Trump turned heads on Tuesday
when he mispronounced the word "Yosemite" at a White House event to sign
a bipartisan conservation bill.
"When young Americans experience the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon, when their eyes widen in amazement as Old Faithful bursts into the sky, when they gaze upon Yosemite's — Yosemite's towering sequoias, their love of country grows stronger and they know that every American has truly a duty to preserve this wondrous inheritance," Trump said.
But he stumbled over Yoh-sem-it-ee, pronouncing it YO-se-MIGHT, and then adding a syllable, "YO-se-min-NIGHT."

Real Trump derangement syndrome
I have to agree with Jeff Cooper — Trump Derangement Syndrome is a stupid term, mainly because it is backward.
One would expect TDS to mean the obvious: those who still believe in Trump’s lies even when they are so obvious to the casual observer.
So, now with his make-believe world in a time of coronavirus threatening the health of all of us, I have decided to coin a new phrase: Real Trump Derangement Syndrome.
I have also constructed this handy guideline to help you figure out if you may suffer from RTDS.
• You can name two lies Barack Obama told but didn’t know that The Washington Post documented more than 16,000 lies Donald Trump has told since he became president; many are repeats, even Trump can’t make up that many different lies — can he?
• When asked why you support Trump, you respond, “He tells it like it is.”
Trump derangement syndrome: The cure | Opinion
Like many Jews and others, I suffer from Trump derangement syndrome. Every day, as I watch the news on TV and read the newspaper, I shudder in disbelief at the pathological narcissism, lying and authoritarianism, utter incompetence and corruption of Donald Trump.
Opinion: Who really has ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’? Not his critics, readers say
It’s an affliction diagnosed most often by the president’s supporters: Trump Derangement Syndrome, and apparently, it’s an epidemic among those who write unflatteringly of the commander in chief.
Donald Trump: US Treasury should get cut of TikTok deal
Former FBI director James Comey once said that dealing with Donald Trump gave him "flashbacks to my earlier career as a prosecutor against the Mob".
The US president has certainly made TikTok an offer it can't refuse.
If the video app doesn't break away from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, and sell its US operation to Microsoft, Mr Trump will simply ban it - putting TikTok's access to its 80 million active American users in jeopardy.
Trump Says U.S. Should Get Slice of TikTok Sale Price
WASHINGTON—President Trump said he was ready to approve a purchase of the U.S. operations of the Chinese video-sharing app TikTok, but only if the government receives “a lot of money” in exchange—an assertion of presidential power that appeared to lack precedent.
Trump's interview debacle sends a warning for the fall campaign
Donald Trump's weak and flailing interview with Jonathan Swan of Axios
fired a warning flare about the President's hopes for reelection, if
his campaign and White House staff programed to fulfill his yearning for
praise are prepared to recognize it.
Trump came across as ill-prepared, narcissistic and far from in control of the coronavirus pandemic.
It was a far cry from the image of courageous leadership and energetic,
unstinting commitment on behalf of Americans that his aides spend every
day trying to sketch.
It
is hard to remember an interview in which a sitting President was more
unsparingly exposed or seemed so unequal to the magnitude of a crisis
that is threatening the American people and is nowhere near ending.
