Quote:Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may have confused Hillary Clinton's vice presidential nominee, Tim Kaine, with former N.J. Gov. Tom Kean - or even Jim Florio.

Trump said during a press conference that Kaine, a former governor of Virginia, "did a terrible job in New Jersey," adding that his first act "was ask for a $4 billion tax increase."

"He's not very popular in New Jersey and he still isn't," he said.

It's possible Trump simply meant to say "Virginia," and confused it with a state that's more familiar with - and where he's done business.

It's also possible Trump confused him with Kean, since their names are similar.

It's also possible he confused him with Florio, also a former New Jersey governor who pushed through a $2.8 billion tax increase when he first took office in 1990. Kaine wanted to wanted to raise $1 billion in taxes on auto insurance and vehicle purchases.

Quote:Trump suggests Putin called Obama the n-word. Seconds later: “I hope [Putin] likes me.”




Within 20 seconds at a press conference on Wednesday, actual Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump went from suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin had once called President Barack Obama the n-word to saying he hopes Putin likes him.

This is not an exaggeration. It really happened:

For the record, there is literally zero evidence that Putin ever called Obama the n-word. It’s hard to say where Trump got this idea, but he has a long history of naively restating things he heard from one person — even random people on Twitter. As Ezra Klein argued for Vox, Trump’s gullibility is one of the reasons he’s not qualified to be president.

But this also seems like a bizarre attempt by Trump to try to make himself look better than Obama. He’s essentially arguing that Putin disrespects Obama so much — to the point he called the president the n-word — while Putin should and probably does like and respect Trump.

If this was anyone else, it’d be easy to dismiss this as the totally absurd remark it is. But this is a person running for president.
