A Republican close to President tells me Trump has been increasingly isolated in recent days. Frustrated, avoiding major public appearances

BiglyBadgers · 10/05/2017 18:19

The democrats were all called to their seats this morning at 9.30 - or so it was reported last night. Does anyone know what for or is it not something that'd be public knowledge?
