So, reports are coming out that Fox News was given a heads up about Trump’s tryst with a porn star as early as October of 2016. Fox News could have broken a story a story that could have turned the tide of the election, but let party politics get in the way. Say what you will about CNN or MSNBC, but given the chance to break a damaging story about Hillary Clinton, they’d have done it. And yet they have the gall to constantly criticize other news outlets of a dangerously liberal bias.
So another government shutdown is looming around the corner. With political factions more divided than they’ve ever been, I don’t think it’s surprising to anyone. But this crazy inability to find any level of common ground has become ridiculous and petty. Throwing another wrench in the works is Donald Trump constantly distracting everyone, helping to keep people from making any kind of headway. Trump just can’t seem to let things not be about him for even a few days.
So after the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump says he has a great relationship with Kim Jong Un. When Trump refuted the statements, Both the White House and the WSJ released audio from the interview…that just confirmed the WSJ interview. It’s bizarre how Trump expects vindication even though reality is against him.
So Trump had his doctors appointment, and low and behold, he’s in “excellent health.” It’s one of those situations where I don’t even know what the point was. I don’t think there was ever going to be a way that there was going to be an official negative health report to come out about Donald Trump. It’s not going to change anyone’s mind, between those who think he’s forcing some poor staff doctor to bend the truth, and for his supporters who will use the information to validate their opinions. It’s just another show to be watched. Another annoying performance.
It’s tough to think of what to say at a certain point, when your expectations get just so low. Beyond the utterly racist sentiments of calling several African countries and Haiti “Shitholes”, I kind of love how Donald Trump thinks the standard of excellence in terms of immigration that we should be aspiring to is Norway. As if we’ve been just turning away all the “upper-class” Norway immigrants who have been itching to come here.
Kellyanne Conway told Chris Cuomo on CNN that nobody talks about Hillary Clinton in the White House. “We don’t care about her. Nobody here talks about her.” That seems to be empirically untrue, as literally right after she gave the interview, good ol’ King Don sent out a tweet about her. It seems like SOMEONE pretty significant in the White House cares about her and talks about her.
So, Trump basically sh*t the negotiating bed with the DACA negotiations. Trump asked for $18 billion dollars for his wall, Sen. Diane Feinstein came back asking for “clean DACA” bill, Trump didn’t know what that meant, and just agreed to it, like a true negotiator. Gotta love his tough stance on the issues.
So it’s being reported that Rex Tillerson and James Mattis are basically holding Trump back from making an attack on North Korea. I guess he’s just itching to go for what they are internally calling a “bloody nose” approach, which must be music to the ears of America’s favorite bully. All of this would be way more funny if millions of lives didn’t hang in the balance.
So Steve Bannon is walking back his statements made in the new Trump book, and apologizing hoping to save face with his ex-boss. I wonder what it took for Bannon to abandon his “take no prisoners, never apologize or surrender” attitude?
So Trump is throwing around the word genius a bunch. Like just a whole heck of a lot. Unabashedly, he just knows that he’s on the tippity top of the intelligence mountain, and he wants everyone to know. Because that is what geniuses do. They tell every single person they can about it.
