Summary

This morning we’re asking the question making the rounds online: Is Trump dying? Speculation about his health is swirling after new images of his hands and ankles went viral, but is there any real evidence of a medical issue, or just more internet rumor fuel? We’ll also cover the breaking news of Trump’s attempted firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Can he even do that? (Spoiler: probably not. But when has the law ever stopped him?) And finally, Jolly joins us live with coverage from last night’s protest outside the White House because the people are not staying quiet.
