Visit the online home of Playbook http://politi.co/2f51Jnf Good Friday morning. THIS IS A HEADLINE MANY HOUSE REPUBLICANS LIKE: “Trump says Republican border tax could boost U.S. jobs.” President Donald Trump’s remark that the border-adjustment tax “could lead to a lot more jobs in the United States” perked up many an ear in the House GOP leadership, which has been pushing the proposal for some time and believes it’s the only way to get tax reform done. THIS LOOKS LIKE A SMART MOVE BY TRUMP and could show he understands the legislative game. Either he likes the plan -- which taxes imports instead of exports -- and is going to become the vocal supporter he needs to be to get it through. Or he’s showing its chief supporter Speaker Paul Ryan that he’s trying his way first, and if it fails, he at least gave it a shot. … [Read more...] about TRUMP’s embrace of the House GOP tax plan, and what it means — Ike Perlmutter SPOTTED at Mar-a-Lago — CNN: W.H. tried to get FBI to push back on RUSSIA stories — new TUCKER CARLSON profile

Transgender TV personality on Jenner transition: “It’s apparent”
Long before anyone was keeping up with the Kardashians, Bruce Jenner was already a household name as one of the most famous athletes on the planet after his gold medal in the 1976 Olympics' decathlon. The sports icon-turned-heartthrob famously graced the front of Wheaties boxes and the cover of Sports Illustrated.
