Robert Kraft says he appreciates the continued and outspoken support from the Oval Office. In an interview Friday morning on Fox News, the 77-year-old Patriots owner was asked about his relationship with President Donald Trump and what it feels like to have the Republican president rooting for his team in Super Bowl LIII this Sunday. “Well, we can use every fan who wants to support us, from wherever they are in their standard of life,” Kraft said, noting how the team’s charitable foundation has been a supporter of local homeless shelters. “We love all fans,” he said. However, Fox host Brian Kilmeade apparently wanted to hear more about Trump, asking Kraft if he had recently spoken with or gotten any advice from the president. “I have a lot of people who give me advice, and he’s been very supportive and I know he’s working very hard to serve the best interests of the country,” the Brookline native responded.

Nancy Pelosi stands up to Donald Trump
opinion Mike Thompson Detroit Free Press Published 1:16 PM EST Jan 24, 2019 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stood up to a bully. And, as is usually the case when you stand up to a bully, the bully backed down. The California Democrat stuck to her guns over the issue of whether President Donald Trump should deliver a State of The Union address during a government shutdown. Pelosi, being speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, holds the keys to the chamber that is the traditional location for the annual address. And Pelosi said no speech until the shutdown ends. President Trump huffed and puffed and slinked off muttering something scheduling an alternative location for the address or delivering the speech in a different location.
