Key quotes
· 3 pulledGrateful but confused by the unexpected windfall of financial support, top aides to President Donald Trump were reportedly confused Wednesday after his super PAC received a series of generous donations from the sporting goods giant Spalding.
Are we doing something with basketballs? Did the president threaten to outlaw basketballs?
