2. President Trump claims Canadians are smuggling sneakers over the border

President Trump spoke at a small business conference on Tuesday, once again addressing NAFTA and the fact that he believes it’s an unfair trade deal for the United States. However, many were puzzled when he suggested that Canadians were buying new shoes in the U.S. to avoid tariffs, before scuffing them up and smuggling them over the border. Many were quick to point out that it’s not illegal for Canadians to buy products like shoes in the U.S.

!!! Trump claims that Canadians come into the United States, buy products, and "smuggle" them back into Canada because Canada's tariffs are so high...for example, that they buy shoes in the U.S., wear them, and "scuff 'em up" to make them look plausibly old at the border.

3. Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher sings national anthem before game

Steven Brault is a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He also happens to be a pretty great singer and he put that talent on full display before the Pirates game on Tuesday. The 26-year-old sung the national anthem prior to the game and despite a few giggles from his teammates, Brault did an incredible job! Once finished, he got plenty of hugs and high-fives.

4. Rachel Maddow tears up on air talking about detention centres for babies

Rachel Maddow was on air when a breaking news update came through regarding “tender age” detention centres for babies who had been forcefully taken away from their parents. The news anchor was unable to deliver the report without breaking down into tears, eventually calling her portion of the show without finishing the full report. She later apologized for breaking down and tweeted out the entire story for viewers to read.
