The mountain of evidence suggesting that Trump and Melania are anything but a besotted love match, combined with the First Lady's penchant for taciturnity and fondness for sunglasses, has festered into one of the Internet's stranger conspiracy theories: Fake Melania. The theory got its start in 2017 but in the end, although the idea that the First Lady deploys a body double is pretty funny, like most web conspiracy theories, it's almost certainly bullshit. And yet over the weekend, the theory came surging back into the spotlight.

And while Carlson refused to apologize (shocking), his presence and message on the shows tells a larger story. Bubba the Love Sponge is a product of the Republican brain disease.

The occasion for a suit may get redefined, the number of times you wear one in a week may change, but the suit is not the fedora or the undershirt or the cigarette or the typewriter or the Dodo. It is the warhorse of a well-rounded wardrobe, unless you want to one day dress like Captain Kirk. Do you still think this is the suit's funeral?

The internet had a few laughs, Cook jokingly changed his Twitter handle to his new presidential moniker, and even first daughter Ivanka, who'd been sitting to her father's left during the flub, seemed to find it funny. That didn't stop Trump from taking to Twitter to defend himself.

Not Amy Berg: The Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker couldn't let it go. Instead, the 48-year old spent nearly the past three-plus years documenting Syed's fight for a new trial well as digging beyond even Serial's reporting into Lee's murder. The result is The Case Against Adnan Syed, a gripping, unsettling, and entirely engrossing four-part HBO documentary series that premiered on Sunday night.
