What would President Trump do?

President Trump has repeatedly criticized the deputy who stood outside of a Florida school as a shooting went on inside.

After all, if he had been in that situation, he would have gone inside.

"I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon, and I think most of the people in this room would have done that, too," Trump told a group of state governors gathered at the White House for talks on multiple issues.

But wait. Really?

Some sort of clarification from White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders: "I don't think that was the point he was making; he was saying that he would be a leader and would want to take a courageous action."

The Supreme Court says no thanks

The Supreme Court on Monday basically said it wouldn't wade into the battle over DACA.

How? Well, the highest court in the land refused to review a federal judge's order that the Trump administration continue a program protecting undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children.

Translation: For now, DACA still stands.

The biggest thing this means: The March deadline Congress had for finding a legislative solution too the program is essentially null in void (for now).

Ivanka does not approve

Ivanka Trump isn't pleased that she was asked about the sexual misconduct allegations against her father, President Trump.

"I think it's a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he's affirmatively stated that there's no truth to it," she said during an interview with NBC News in South Korea. "I don't think that's a question you would ask many other daughters."

Of course, Ivanka Trump isn't just the president's daughter: She's also one of his top advisers in the administration.

The president has been accused by more than a dozen women of sexual misconduct, prior to his time in politics. He and the White House have denied the allegations.

Trump said she believes her father.

"I know my father," she said.
