President Trump often criticizes his predecessors for failing to accomplish tasks, but his latest complaint feels like it would have been a particularly difficult one to pull off.Trump on Monday signed the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act directing the Treasury Department to create currency honoring women who led the fight to pass the 19th Amendment, which provided women with the right to vote after it was ratified in 1920. After showing off his signature, he questioned why it took so long to get the centennial celebration bill passed. “I guess the answer to that is because now I’m president, we get things done,” Trump said.It’s true that the bill, which was passed with unanimous consent by the Senate, came to fruition while Trump was in office, but it’s also true that centennials usually (that is, always) occur precisely 100 years after an event. > This is the president of the United States….wondering why the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage….wasn’t commemorated…a long time ago…? https://t.co/uIdnAyziJQ> > — Dan Zak (@MrDanZak) November 26, 2019More stories from theweek.com U.N. report: Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically to avoid climate crisis Melania Trump booed throughout speech at Baltimore youth summit Fox News guest: ‘Why the hell does Tucker Carlson still have a job here’

For those who theorized Daisy Ridley was to blame for a real Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker script winding up on eBay, every word of what you just said was wrong.Ridley appeared on Good Morning America Tuesday after director J.J. Abrams revealed that the film’s actual script got out and was briefly put up for sale on eBay, blaming an unnamed actor who left it under their bed for someone cleaning their house to find; the studio intervened before the screenplay could actually be sold. While Abrams didn’t name the actor responsible, fans immediately speculated it could have been Ridley or potentially Adam Driver.But Ridley denied responsibility Tuesday, telling GMA, “It wasn’t me.”The mystery of who it was may already be solved, as Ridley without naming names suggested her co-star John Boyega, who is set to appear on GMA Wednesday, is the suspect we’re looking for. “Now, I’m not going to throw the person under the bus who it is,” Ridley said. “But there is someone else potentially coming on the show this week who can answer the question as to who that was.”Abrams, presumably, had only one thing to say when he heard who was responsible: “traitor!” > .@RobinRoberts asked Daisy Ridley if she knows anything about TheRiseOfSkywalker script @jjabrams says someone left under their bed that wound up on eBay. She says it’s not her but there IS someone else who is potentially coming on @GMA this week who can answer that question! pic.twitter.com/wQN5kaUUCY> > — Good Morning America (@GMA) November 26, 2019More stories from theweek.com U.N. report: Global greenhouse gas emissions must fall dramatically to avoid climate crisis Melania Trump booed throughout speech at Baltimore youth summit Trump wonders why the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage wasn’t celebrated ‘a long time ago’

Half of Americans support impeaching President Trump and removing him from office, the same amount as did before Congress’ recent public hearings, a new poll has found.A CNN poll released Tuesday shows 50 percent of Americans support impeachment and removal compared to 43 percent who don’t. Support for impeachment remains at an all-time high in this poll, which had it at 47 percent in September and 50 percent in October. This poll showing impeachment support holding steady comes after Trump claimed it’s “dropping like a rock” and is “into the 20’s” in some polls, though no such poll appears to exist.Since the public impeachment hearings started, though, the percentage of Americans who say Trump improperly used his office to gain political advantage against a potential opponent in the 2020 election has risen from 49 percent to 53 percent, CNN found.At the same time, a new poll from Politico released Tuesday also showed that support for the impeachment inquiry remained unchanged after the public hearings. A notable Emerson poll last week did find support for impeachment among independents dropping to 34 percent, but in the CNN poll, 47 percent of independents support impeachment.CNN’s poll was conducted by speaking to a random national sample of 1,007 adults over the phone from Nov. 21-24. The margin of error is 3.7 percentage points.
