But, as White House press secretary Sean Spicer told reporters Friday afternoon, Trump asked aides about reactions from congressional and world leaders Thursday night to the strike, ā€œand was informed that there was fairly unanimous praise for the decision and the actions the President took.ā€

Ok. This freaks me out. That we have a needy child as President. Really no other way to interpret this. It’s like he’s a guest on The Apprentice, which is what it feels like he is as President.

The marketing and repackaging of Trump as a Bloomberg Indie has begun. But I think he will find the GOP much quicker to push the impeachment button if he puts them in ideologically or politically compromising positions.

…How many Trump Hotels will be allowed close to or on Great Wall of China?

I have this sickening feeling China has taken the measure of Trump/Kushner, and are going to kick our butts under this Administration.

But, hey, at least Trump will make oodles of money with his China trademarks.

More than China has taken the measure of the aggressive stupidity in our Oval Office.

Hey, all you economically anxious heartland voters who thought we had to ā€œget somebody new in thereā€ to fight for your interests—you got nothing. Zip. You never were going to get anything. And you never will. No great deals. Nothing. He talked about how you’d been forgotten, and the instant he got what he wanted, he forgot you too. It’s not like you weren’t warned. At this point I think I’ll bite my tongue. Have a nice day.

Trump asked aides about reactions from congressional and world leaders…

But what is really rocking his world is the swooning coming from the media. I am heartbroken to see that even (normally) measured and sane Fareed Zakaria has drunk the koolaid, saying something to the effect of ā€œTrump became a presidentā€ with this attack.

FU Fareed, for glamorizing Trump’s impetuous and ineffective act of war. You should be deeply ashamed. I am boycotting your show from here on out.

The Chinese understand kleptocracy very well.

Rump was going to tell China ā€œwhat forā€ and make sure trade deals favored America.

But, since there’s no more TPP, America is no longer at the table in the Pac Rim. We just walked away. Hope Am. farmers can figure out what to do with that surplus of their products once China either raises their prices or just finds other agricultural markets.

I have no doubt that President Xi walked all over the regime and told them just what was going to happen. Why do I say that? The main pic that’s come out of the meeting between the Chinese and the regime shows that everyone on the American side is listening to their counterparts with headphones on, following the dialogue.

Rump doesn’t have his headphones on and basically looks like he could pretty much care less.

ā€The press briefing with Tillersonā€¦ā€

Which consisted exclusively of Andrea Mitchell frantically shouting questions from across the room?

As she was hustled out by State Department security?

While Tillerson flacks begged, ā€œPlease, Andrea, pleaseā€¦ā€?

And would that be the Hotel Coronado located next to the San Diego Navel Base?

They are going to be so screwed. We know some midwestern farmers who voted for Trump. My husband tried to explain to them that it was a bad idea. But you know….emails and Benghazi and stuff.

Can we just talk about the photo? Is Trump now a black radical? Is he showing support for BLM?

That seems to be Trump’s new ā€œI am the victorā€ gesture. I want to see his face when someone tells him it’s other usage . . . .

Maybe we should change Hail to the Chief to ā€œSay Loud- I’m Black and I’m Proud?ā€
