When demonstrators gathered around the White House in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, Donald Trump reportedly asked, “Can’t you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?” Bess Levin [reports]( on this recollection from former defense secretary Mark Esper, included in his forthcoming memoir previewed by Axios. Elsewhere, Charlotte Klein [delivers]( all the heady self-deprecations of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner attendees (you know the [meme]( of a dog in a house engulfed by flames, pretending like everything is fine?). Caleb Ecarma [explains]( why the Republican National Committee might have to cough up January 6–related email records. Eric Lutz [says]( Joe Manchin is “up to his usual shit,” this time in the arena of climate change. Finally, Levin’s [got the word]( on another White House memoir, this one from Jared Kushner. Thanks for reading.
