| The Washington Post profiled Beto O’Rourke and his wife Amy in an exhaustive piece that shares a sense of their marriage and how the former Texas congressman came to mount his presidential bid. | |
| It includes details about their first date and how they came to be married as well: | |
| Amy and Beto crossed the border, to Juarez, and ended up at a bar called Martino’s, where they drank martinis and laughed about how they both had big noses. A Mexican crew filming a commercial in the bar tried to get the couple to kiss on camera, and Beto got them out of it by saying Amy was his sister. | |
| He proposed on April Fools’ Day, four months after they’d first met. It seemed appropriate. That’s how Amy knew him then and even now — impulsive and puckish: He told her on one of their first dates that he planned to name his first son Ulysses (which they did, about a year after marrying, followed by a Molly and a Henry). He dubbed their dog Roosevelt before realizing that the dog was a girl (who now goes by Rosie). | |
| Trump also told reporters that he knew “exactly” what he wants to see in Venezuela. However, he did not divulge what that is, saying “all options are on the table.” | |
| Trump repeated his criticism of John McCain while in the Oval Office with Bolsonaro just now. | |
| “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be.” | |
