Trump has a Pecker problem and there is a blue pill to make it grow bigger - midterms! Trump threads contd.

Titled with Across in mind

May all the Oaf's problems be big ones, and the events of this week at least be the beginning of the beginning of the end.

White House statement.

Flying half staff/half mast I meant. Can't type tonight

Thanks Gump, laptop playing up tonight

Carefully avoiding the fact that he, 45, was not to be invited........

I'm sure he's very proud of finally changing his mind. He won't shut up about it for weeks.

Trump intervened to prevent the rebuilding of the FBI HQ across the street from a Trump property (and then tried to hide the intervention).

Even the eventual statement was churlish and about Trump. "Despite..."
He's been shown to be a small, small man when he had the opportunity to be presidential. It's beyond understanding that he might get a 2nd term now he's shown his true character, and yet....

A defining feature of the Trump presidency is how he turns little things we never used to think about - condolence statements! flag-lowering decisions! stakeholder roundtables! - into controversies and brawls. Everything has to be something.

And it has to be centred on him. We should have known when his tribute to Aretha Franklin was focused on her 'working for me'

Trump buckles; flag will be half-mast for McCain. This is one of those reminders that when the criticism is intense and universal enough, Trump does crack and reverse course. 1/ https://twitter.com/lrozen/status/1034169613012090881

Interesting thread.

Ivanka Trump: "I want to extend my deepest sympathies to the family of Sen. John McCain, an American patriot who served our country with distinction for more than 6 decades. The nation is united in its grief, and the world mourns the loss of a true hero and a great statesman." https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1034187548283887616/video/1

I'm still of the view the plan is to make Ivanka VP in 2020 and President in 2024.

Video worth watching for the body language as 45 is asked again and again, inc in front of the Kenyan Prime Minister, about McCain

'The plea talks on the second set of charges stalled over issues raised by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, one of the people said. It isn’t clear what those issues were, and the proposed terms of the plea deal couldn’t immediately be determined.'

Apparently, the deal was sought by defence counsel. (Sorry - couldn't get more.)

PS.

Plea Deal Sought

His statement was full of I I I I, just like every speech he makes.

And do t you love how he turned Sen McCain's stipulation that he not attend into his decision not to go but to send representatives? And that HE asked Pence to speak? Fucker!

The poor McCains, having to see him try to turn this into the Scrotus Show!

I await Ducey's announcement with some considerable interest......

When is that to be? I'm assuming after the interment plus 1 hour but who knows?
