The federal government often brags about how it can walk and chew gum at the same time, but Tuesday showed it can't do either if it's distracted by Donald Trump.

All the government did Tuesday was talk about Trump.

The table was set Monday night, when Trump said Muslims shouldn't be allowed to enter the United States. As government officials made their breakfasts Tuesday morning in their million dollar houses in McLean, Va., they were bombarded with Trump all over the TV.

It didn't matter if they watched CNN or MSNBC or ABC. Trump was just about everywhere.
