Meanwhile, Nigel Farage tell us who he is. Again.

Meghan has made Prince Harry less popular, says Farage

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has criticised members of the royal family, describing the late Queen Mother as an "overweight, chain-smoking gin drinker".
He also said the Duke of Sussex's popularity had "fallen off a cliff" since he met his wife, Meghan.
The former UKIP leader made the comments while attending a right-wing conference in Australia.

Swamp.

'President Trump’s hand-picked IRS Commissioner, Charles Rettig, earns as much as $1 million in rental income from the Trump-branded properties he co-owns while facing demands from Congress to release Trump’s tax returns. The IRS has already missed more than one deadline set by the House Ways and Means Committee to turn over Trump’s tax returns. (Rettig has stated that he will decide whether or not to release the tax returns, under the supervision of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.)'

'At the controversial Hamptons fundraiser hosted at the home of SoulCycle and Equinox majority owner Stephen Ross this week, President Donald Trump stirred up even more controversy by mimicking an Asian accent and mocking South Korean President Moon Jae-in and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe, the New York Post reported.'

I guess it represents a kind of communication between them, Across.

Meanwhile, in France:

Hong Kong - China appears to be readying for a military response of some kind.

Another clear capture of a Chinese military column entering the #Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre, pinpointing this location as a potential military operation HQ, just 25km from #HongKong. #China #HongKongProtests #Democracy

The footage of that endless line of trucks is scary.

Yes it is scary what's going on in HK.

Light relief article... celebrities talk about when they met Trump. Sums him up, really does.

The burgundy conjures quite an image, Roussette.

Burgundy??

Another Trump dinner story:

Burgundy??

Have you met Ron Burgundy? I wonder if it was pre- or post-Trump (originally).

Speaking of which, the Bueller Report:

From Roussette's link:

'Finally, special mention should go to Candice Bergen, who is responsible for perhaps the most revealing story of all. She went on a blind date with Trump in the 1970s and revealed that “he was wearing a three-piece burgundy suit and burgundy patent leather loafers in a burgundy limousine”. Money can buy you anything, so long as it’s a horrible colour.

Trump would look like an over ripe plum in burgundy!

I wonder if he was quite so orange back then.

This looks like a parody but isn't.
