Agree Gump I was intrigued with Watergate too, and the Iran contra thing with Oliver North, I watched his testimony avidly. He proved what sort of man he was, and still is, held up by now being the face of the NRA. Say no more.

More Melania clean up, without the 'look at me' attire this time. She's such an accomplished linguist, surprising she hasn't mastered some basic Spanish as prep. for these visits. (Not surprising, she her English is pretty poor after some 20 years in the US).

'Scoop: Trump's private threat to upend global trade

President Trump has repeatedly told top White House officials he wants to withdraw the United States from the World Trade Organization, a move that would throw global trade into wild disarray, people involved in the talks tell Axios.

What we're hearing: “He’s [threatened to withdraw] 100 times. It would totally [screw] us as a country,” said a source who’s discussed the subject with Trump. The source added that Trump has frequently told advisers, "We always get fucked by them [the WTO]. I don’t know why we’re in it. The WTO is designed by the rest of the world to screw the United States." '

“Speech is a mirror of the soul: as a man speaks, so is he”.

'President Barack Obama told donors on Thursday in Los Angeles that he told then-incoming President Donald Trump that he should rename Obamacare and take credit for its successes, instead of repealing it.

During a question and answer session at a fundraiser with Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez, Obama said he didn't have "pride of authorship" over the Affordable Care Act and would have been happy if Trump kept the program but called it something different.

"I said to the incoming president, 'Just change the name and claim that you made these wonderful changes and I would be like, "You go,"'" he said to laughs. "Because I didn't have pride of authorship, I just wanted people to have health care." '

'Justice Kennedy's son spent more than a decade at Deutsche Bank.

During his tenure, Deutsche Bank became Trump's most important lender, dispensing over $1,000,000,000 in loans at a time when no one else would lend to Trump, NYT reports.

NYT…

www.nbcnews.com/storyline/immigration-border-crisis/trump-admin-ran-pilot-program-separating-migrant-families-2017-n887616

'Officials have said that at least 2,342 children were separated from their parents after being apprehended crossing the border unlawfully since May 5, when the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy towards migrants went into effect.

But numbers provided to NBC News by the Department of Homeland Security show that another 1,768 were separated from their parents between October 2016 and February 2018, bringing the total number of separated kids to more than 4,100.

More than 1,000 children were separated between October 2016 and September 2017, and 703 were separated between October 2017 and February 2018, according to DHS.

It's unclear how many of those 1,768 children were separated after President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2017. NBC repeatedly asked DHS for comprehensive data, but the agency declined to provide month-by-month figures and did not provide any numbers for March and April 2018.'

Trump's called in that debt, lion , Anthony Kennedy has paid it in full.

He probably does. The Trump regime seem to think everyone is motivated by money. Because they are.
