He really has some personal animus against Blumenthal...this is the second or third volley against him.

 

 

Working hard from New Jersey while White House goes through long planned renovation. Going to New York next week for more meetings.

 

 

Sure, absolutely no golf. Or it's "working/productive" golf.

Paula Shore does a pretty good Stephen Miller impersonation.

Not quite as good as Miller himself complaining about the janitors at his Santa Monica high school...

 

 

Huckabee Sanders impersonation even better...

Trump criticizing Blumenthal for his Vietnam service isn't really recommended

 

He's trying to find another Clinton but the sequel isn't near as good.

Kellyanne did the same thing yesterday. Asking about the changing Russia stories she went to the "if you like your health plan you can keep your health plan" and then Benghazi. When told she changed the subject, she said no, no, no. Benghazi is a subject.

 

The play is so old. They cry they won the election, yet they act like they are in the final weeks of one.

Holding election rallies and still attacking the candidate who lost. Seems like they never wanted to actually win and do the job.

Trump completely screwing over rural farmers who largely voted for him

 

 

Can't handle all the winning going on?

 

 

The EU’s deal is all the more noteworthy because American farmers were relying on the TPP—to which the EU was not a member—to give them an advantage over European competitors. But in a further rebuke to the United States, Tokyo decided within a matter of weeks to offer the European nations virtually the same agricultural access to its market that United States trade officials had spent two excruciating years extracting through near-monthly meetings with their Japanese counterparts on the sidelines of the broader TPP negotiations; the United States is now left out.

 

...

 

For his part, Trump once promised a slew of “beautiful” deals to replace the TPP, but his administration has yet to lay out a detailed strategy. U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told lawmakers that an analysis is underway to determine where it makes most sense to pursue negotiations.

 

In the meantime, Lighthizer, a trade attorney who pressured Japan to voluntarily restrain its steel exports when he was a trade official in the 1980s, said Tokyo should just go ahead and lower their tariffs without expecting anything in return.

 

“I think in the areas like beef and the others, they ought to be making some unilateral concessions, at least temporary concessions,” he told lawmakers in June. “And I don't quite understand why that doesn't happen.”

 

Lighthizer said the administration still hopes to strike bilateral trade deals—that is, separate agreements with individual countries—but he conceded that "some of the TPP countries don't want to do bilaterals." The value of the TPP for many countries was that they could justify giving up protective tariffs in exchange for their own access to the markets of a wide pool of countries; many are unwilling to make such concessions for the smaller gains of a bilateral deal.

 

Lighthizer acknowledged that even Japan, at least for the time being, may not be interested in one-on-one negotiations with the U.S.

So Trump tweeted a link to a Fox News story about North Korea. It turns out, it was classified, and Fox News got the info from anonymous sources, something Trump has said is means fake news.

 

He can't possibly be that dumb, can he?

 

Looks like his new Twitter policeman needs more training.

Trump gets a folder full of positive news about himself twice a day

It’s known as the “propaganda document"

 

These sensitive papers, described to VICE News by three current and former White House officials, are not top-secret intelligence or updates on legislative initiatives. Instead, the folders are filled with screenshots of positive cable news chyrons (those lower-third headlines and crawls), admiring tweets, transcripts of fawning TV interviews, praise-filled news stories, and sometimes just pictures of Trump on TV looking powerful.

 

s*** like this is why I'm much more concerned about Trump actually having unilateral control over thousands of nuclear warheads than NK potentially having a nuclear weapon at some point in the future.

Trump says to prevent opioid overdoses, tell youths "no good, really bad for you." "If they don't start it'll never be a problem."

 

 

Folks, I think he has done it! He has solved the problem.

I'm a lot more worried about the North Korean leader. He is a powerderkeg just dying to flick some nukes at the USA and South Korea. All he has to do to be remembered forever is start the war that begins the end of humanity as we know it. He's nutty enough to do it. If he sends a nuke our way, we will literally blow that country off the map and that means S. Korea will be blown off the map too. At that point China and Russia decide what to do. If the North Korean nukes cause a lot of damage in the USA ... wow.
