[View this email in your browser]( [images-hive-logo (1).jpg]( “He Was F---ing Pissed”: Inside Kellyghazi Good morning, dear reader! It was a particularly dispiriting day for honorary “sick puppy” Donald J. Trump and his band of merry minions. The intrepid Gabriel Sherman [broke the news]( of Hope Hicks’s controversial involvement in Rob Porter’s head-spinning defense; Abigail Tracy [documented]( the fallout in the West Wing; and T.A. Frank [charted]( the furtive movements of Mike Pence, conveniently on sabbatical in South Korea with Mother, as the scandal unfolded. Meanwhile, George Soros re-invested a fraction of his winnings from his bet against England toward one saving Britannia from itself; Travis Kalanick put his [broken psyche on the stand]( Trey Gowdy tried to [outflank Adam Schiff]( and Trump attempted to [threaten the stock market into submission](. But who wants to talk about yesterday’s news, anyway? Today, we lead with Sherman’s latest dispatch from As the West Wing Turns, where Hicks is in the dog house, Trump is raging at John Kelly, and Ivanka is soliciting résumés. And Nick Bilton explains how Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel avoided extirpation under Mark Zuckerberg’s Nike Flyknits. We hope that you’re enjoying what you’re reading. Have a great day!
