Which led to another person on the call saying, "I thought the cyanide remark was a good transition to discuss our plans for next Tuesday when we’re all together..."

Yes mate. We are aware of what white pills and black pills mean. On the call, in addition to talking about the meme, the gallows humor included one of Trump's senior political advisers saying - direct quote - "cyanide comes with a fucking white pill too, you know."

To be clear, Tim, on the call, according to four people on the call, when the black pill/white pill reference was made, someone said that cyanide comes with a white pill too (along with some expletives).

No -- they described "black pill/ white pill," which was indeed about hope/not hope, and according to multiple people, someone explicitly joked that cyanide comes in a white pill as well.

Whoever thought it was a good idea after last night’s results to send the president out the next day to tout his ballroom should be fired and never work in politics again, and perhaps even in prison forever like on the moon.

Asked about U.S. intelligence concerns surrounding the relationship, Trump said he was not aware of the specifics but several times said he hoped that Huang was not implicated. “We hope everything’s okay with Jensen,” Trump said. “We’ll check it out. We’re going to check it out very closely.”

President Trump tonight appeared to hedge when I asked whether he still had confidence in Nvidia’s Jensen Huang as an adviser on U.S. technology policy amid questions about Huang’s relationship with a suspected Chinese operative. “I would like to say yes. I mean, unless we find out something to the contrary,” Trump said. “I’ve always found Jensen Huang to be very above board. But you know, you’re dealing in a very complex issue.”

Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan did not say this in their interview with @DeadlineWH. Here's the full transcript of the moment, and you can read the report they were discussing here from October 20: nyti.ms/4BFq21K
WALLACE: We are back with Maggie and Jonathan. You guys reported this this week. In late August during one of Karoline Leavitt's final meetings with President Trump in the Oval Office, he pitched her on an idea in front of several senior aides. He told her to move reporters out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, which would effectively remove news organizations from the White House. It would be, he told her, her last legacy. Trump has told aides he would prefer to bring back the indoor pool President FDR added in 1933. How's that going? SWAN: Well, he's said he doesn't want the pool since that story came out. He has denied ever even thinking about the pool, even though he posted on Truth Social a photograph of a gilded pool. HABERMAN: Yeah, that was brought to him by Bill Pulte we’re told. SWAN: That was brought to him by Bill Pulte. However, he did confirm that he is thinking about moving reporters out of the White House, and they've been talking about this even since the f

The same is true at NYT. David McCraw and his team are indispensable. Would be impossible to do any kind of high stakes story without them.

In 2015 and 2016, Trump's proposal to ban Muslims entring the U.S. was criticized by several GOP leaders and Trump rivals, with relatively few exceptions. That pyramid has flipped in 2026. @KannoYoungs @Haleaziz nytimes.com/2026/10/24/us/po…
Trump Asked Muslim Voters to Trust Him. Now Some Feel Used.

Trump Asked Muslim Voters to Trust Him. Now Some Feel Used.

Some Muslim voters who backed Mr. Trump in 2024 say they believe he pledged his support when it was politically convenient, only to alienate and scapegoat them once he won the election.
