Tap Dancing around the Truth with Trump - 44 days in for POTUS 45.

The Trump thread, continued from here:

Thanks to everyone who has been contributing to these threads - they are so informative. Have been following obsessively since the beginning and now would like to add a link that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet:

Thanks for that, Crisp.

I hear you, Ginger. If he's influential within the 'Inner Circle' though?....................

Don't let the FAKE NEWS tell you that there is big infighting in the Trump Admin. We are getting along great, and getting major things done!

cozie I kind of think whoever is in favour is out in front of the cameras (except for Bannon).

....(except for Bannon)....

Just so. The eminences grises are staying behind the scenes?

I'm inclined, by the way, to read much into 45's tweet on the topic. It's obviously close to the front of his mind, anyway.

Nicely, subtly, sarcastic piece from the BBC on "History according to Ben Carson"

LOL at the Orange One's 'handlers'. Maybe they should muzzle him when he's been really naughty. Did anyone read the part in a previous link saying that Donnie holds his morning briefings surrounded by 3 huge TVs showing cable news? The contrast between his constant snarling expression and ranting paranoid tweets and Obama's dignified silence couldn't be more stark.

cozie is he though? I suspect Miller is clawing his way back up again from the shambles that was the first travel ban.

I don't know, Ginger. Just don't know.

It might be worth thinking, though, that if - and that's a big 'if' - this ban goes more 'smoothly' than the last (from their perspective), he'll have managed that task.

Lawrence: Trump is in over his head on.msnbc.com/2mSm9V0

How goes the Dow, by the way? (As its headline figure seems to be such a concern of 45.)

I have to say that MSNBC is cutting. Loved it. Very blunt.

Ouch.

OMG The smug bastard Chaffetz

Jason Chaffetz: "maybe rather than getting that new iPhone ... maybe they should invest it in their own health care" snpy.tv/2mwIMNN

It's the flat screen TV nonsense. Here, Chaffetz, have a fucking goat.

What else can they say?

The truth?

HAPPENING TODAY: Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Members of the Freedom Caucus to hold health care press conference @ 3:30

Nevertheless, it feels like Trump is creating anarchy to me.
I really hope the codes change often, and by now he's been given dummy codes, because who would really trust him with anything responsible?
Someone suggested that maybe it wasn't Trump tweeting at all. If so, whoever it is is leading a merry old dance. More reason not to take any notice of them.

No words. Truly.

Trump budget would slash Coast Guard funding: report hill.cm/xNXahDE

Has he mentioned North Korea at all?

Wait!

Bigger wall and smaller coast guard? Never mind the desert. Go for the ships. :)

For eight years Russia "ran over" President Obama, got stronger and stronger, picked-off Crimea and added missiles. Weak! @foxandfriends

"The people of Crimea, from what I've heard, would rather be with Russia than where they were." -- Trump, July 2016.
