President Trump revealed on Thursday night that he's "rooting for" Pete Buttigieg to win the 2020 Democratic primary, and he didn't even follow that up with something rude.

While appearing on Fox News, Trump was asked by host Sean Hannity what he thinks about the crowded Democratic field. He had harsh words for some of the candidates, but none for Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. "I'm rooting for him," Trump said. While he did add that he doesn't think Buttigieg will win the primary, he's hopeful he'll eke out a win. Trump didn't say why he's pro-Buttigieg, who would be running against him if he wins the primary, and also didn't comment on Buttigieg's polite war of words with Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump, who has a history of assessing candidates based on their energy levels, said he's dubbed former Vice President Joe Biden "Sleepy Joe," because apparently he's "a pretty sleepy guy." Trump doesn't think Biden has the stamina to keep up with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and while Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has "got a lot of energy," it's "misguided," he said.

As for Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), she appears to have "a little bit of a nasty wit," Trump said, while Beto O'Rourke, despite being "a hot item for a while," is now "fading very fast." Catherine Garcia

He's trying to walk it back.

Last week, President Trump's nominee for the Federal Reserve Board, Stephen Moore, defended recently resurfaced articles he wrote in the early 2000s as a "spoof." In the pieces, Moore writes women should not be involved in men's college basketball games at any level unless they "look like Bonnie Bernstein."

While he initially played the writings off as humorous, Moore took a different tone on Sunday while appearing on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos. Moore said the articles were "wrongheaded" and that he was embarrassed, adding that they offended his own sisters.

Despite the apology, Moore still said he doesn't think the articles have much to do with whether he is qualified for the Federal Reserve Board. Tim O'Donnell

CNN's Jake Tapper and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway couldn't quite agree on what they were talking about during Conway's appearance on CNN's State of the Union on Sunday.

Tapper initially asked Conway if, following Saturday's shooting at a synagogue in Poway, California, President Trump still does not consider white nationalism a rising threat around the world, as he claimed following the shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.

Conway, though, took the question and went back in time, arguing that Trump had long ago condemned white nationalism and white supremacy following the rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, during which a neo-Nazi killed a 32-year-old woman. Conway said Trump's initial response was twisted by the media, who only focused on the president saying there "were very fine people" at the rally on both sides, rather than his full message which Conway said was an unequivocal condemnation of white supremacy.

In response to Tapper's questioning, Conway decided to turn the tables and criticized The New York Times for running an anti-Semitic cartoon and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for remaining silent following the Sri Lanka attacks on Easter Sunday. Watch the exchange below. Tim O'Donnell

In a meeting on Saturday, Sudan's military council and the opposition alliance, which staged a series of protests ultimately resulting in the removal of longtime President Omar Al-Bashir from office in April, agreed in principle to terms on a joint governing council to run the country until the next election, which is supposed to take place in two years, Al Jazeera reports.

The protest leaders had originally demanded immediate transition to civilian rule, which the military refused to grant during what it considered a transition period, but it appears the sides have found a middle ground.

While the agreement is seen as a major breakthrough, there are reportedly still details that must be ironed out and discord remains, though the spokesperson for the military council said the council is optimistic. "There are still some very difficult issues to discuss today and in the coming days," Al Jazeera reporter Mohamed Vall said. "The first step that was taken yesterday was the easiest."

The opposition is still staging protests in the country's capital, Khartoum, as well. They turned violent on Saturday as the protesters clashed with members of the Popular Congress Party, leaving 65 injured, Al Jazeera reports. Tim O'Donnell

In response to tightening United States-engineered sanctions, Iran said on Sunday it could leave a treaty against the spread of nuclear weapons.

"The Islamic Republic's choices are numerous, and the country's authorities are considering them," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said, Reuters reports. He reportedly listed leaving the Non-Proliferation Treaty, an international agreement meant to halt the the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, as one of those options. However, Iran has threatened to leave the treaty in the past, Reuters reports.

Iran has been a party to the treaty since 1970, but tensions between Tehran and Washington have risen steadily since the Trump administration withdrew last year from a separate international nuclear deal with Iran agreed upon in 2015. The White House has also recently announced it will increase sanctions on Iran and designated the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization, though Iran's armed forces chief of staff reportedly said the IRGC has not observed any change in the U.S. military's behavior toward the force.

Don't let stereotypes fool you — historians can be funny, too.

The White House Correspondents' Association broke with tradition this year when they asked a non-comedian to deliver the keynote address at the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday evening. Instead, historian Ron Chernow, who wrote the Alexander Hamilton biography that inspired the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, addressed the crowd. Chernow has also written books about former presidents George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant, so he knows a thing or two about the office.

While the event was reportedly more serious than in years past, with Chernow and other speakers talking poingantly about press freedom, Chernow found the time to crack a few jokes, as well. They mostly came in the form of subtle jabs at President Trump, who did not attend the event for the third street year. He was in Green Bay, Wisconsin, at a rally for Trump supporters, instead.

One of Chernow's strongest jokes was a veiled dig at Trump's reported befuddlement over the fact that Washington did not name Mount Vernon after himself.

Chernow closed his speech with a remark from the king of quips himself, Mark Twain. In this instance, it seems like Trump was far from the only target. Tim O'Donnell

President Trump never seems concerned about making bold predictions, especially when he is in his element.

Trump held his third "Make America Great Again" rally of the year in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Saturday evening, urging his supporters to help keep the Trump administration in the White House for a second term. Wisconsin is expected to be a key battleground state in the 2020 general election — the state was the site of a tightly contested race in 2016 that ultimately helped vault Trump into the Oval Office.

During his freewheeling speech, Trump denounced Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into 2016 Russian election interference and the Trump campaign's conduct surrounding the meddling. He also bragged about a proposal to send migrants apprehended near the southern border to "sanctuary cities," which he called his own "sick idea." But, of course, he found some time for one of his favorite pastimes — insulting his potential challengers.

Trump told the crowd he couldn't imagine former Vice President Joe Biden or Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), whom he dubbed "Sleepy" and "Crazy," respectively, holding a rally as "fun" as the one on Saturday. But he went even further with his criticism of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), whom he continued to refer to as Pocahontas, a moniker he gave her after it was revealed Warren said she was of Native American descent on a job application. The veracity of her heritage was ultimately called into question after a DNA test. Trump, while enjoying mocking Warren over the matter, also declared her "finished," dismissing her as a legitimate contender for the presidency.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders joined Trump at the rally, which was held on the same evening as the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Tim O'Donnell
