1 I’ve been accused of TDS. Although I don’t deny it, here’s another way to characterize Trump without directly pointing to him. I’m talking about the cabinet he chose. Has there ever been a greater collection of unqualified, sycophantic, morally responsible and weird-looking
1 The Resolute Desk, behind which presidents have sat since 1880, is one
Trump looks out of place for several reasons. To begin with, he just looks out of place. He looks old, bored, and most of all exhausted. He looks small. Second, the wooden desk isn’t flashy enough for our
2 golden boy. He probably thinks so too. And last and most important, resolute means firm, determined, and unwavering, none of which characterize the most cowardly flip-flopping president ever to sit in the Oval Office.
1 Trump talking with Xi Jinping: So Xi, how’s it going? Xi smiles and says nothing. T: Bet you know where the good Chinese restaurants in Pay King are, right? Xi: Same response. T: I know about your wall. You call it The Great Wall. I read about it. Actually, I saw a picture.
2 I built one too. It’s in Texas. Wanna see it? Xi: Same response. T: How you like all this gold. Ever see anything like it? Xi: Smiles. T: I remember those tanks putting down student demonstrations in that square of yours years ago. They called it Tea and Men or something like

1 Paxton isn’t debating Talarico before Nov 3. I don’t blame him. How could he answer to his multiple accusations of bribery, securities fraud, making false statements agst whistleblowers, and failing to disclose federal campaign disclosures? His wife if filing for divorce
2 because of adultery, something else the impeached - by his own party - AG tried to cover up. But hey, this is a Republican, so what’s another sexual accusation?
Paying homage to Xi. Putin is my friend. Thinking about visiting Kim. Turning on allies. This is not the country I grew up in nor is it that of our forefathers.
1 Although the WH is denying this, there are reports that Trump wants to attach his name to Ford’s Theater. What’s next? The Lincoln-Trump-Memorial? The Washington-Trump Monument? Where does this need to satisfy his ego stop? He needs to be stopped before he renames our capital
Trump says there are talks with Iran again. With a normal president, this would be encouraging. With Trump’s on-again-off-again descriptions, what’s different this time?
