And now, some comic relief:

Donald Trump and Sean Hannity Like to Talk Before Bedtime
Life inside the bunker of Fox News’ resident Trumplegänger.

On the phone, he and the president alternate between the “witch hunt!” and gabbing like old girlfriends about media gossip and whose show sucks and who’s getting killed in the ratings and who’s winning (Hannity, and therefore Trump) and sports and Kanye West, all of it sprinkled with a staccato fuck … fucking … fucked … fucker. “He’s not a systematic thinker at all. He’s not an ideologue,” one person who knows both men said of Hannity. “He gives tactical advice versus strategic advice.”

Sean: I love you, Donald.
Trump: I love you more.

“Trump Moonwalks Away From Pledge to Denuclearize North Korea”

In other words, compared to the “Iran Deal” Obama orchestrated, a complete and utter fucking failure.

Some ‘splainin’ on ZTE—this is gonna be good…

Oh. It’s complex.

China was upset. “High concern.”

So we looked into it. We cool?

Another question? You people!

Again, looking into it. We’re talking about it.

What, another question?

Korea link? It’s complex. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. We’re looking into the matter.

And that’s that. You informed more better now?

Maybe Sarah is really getting tired of her primary responsibility - lying for Trump. (probably not)

Can anyone remember when a US President gave two craps about job losses in other countries? Especially China??

Is this a Kushner family deal?

You’ve got the lingo down - you could totally give the press briefing.

Most of us could at this point. Technically, rhetorically, it’s easy. It would just be hard for us from a character standpoint. We’re not shameless. : ( Oh well.

What’s the under / over today’s press conference doesn’t go more than 20 minutes?

Definitely under . . . any second, Raj will have something “really important” to get to and run from the podium. (I’m an old timer and actually thought that a press briefing would have been considered something important, but that value is apparently so yesterday.)

I imagine it has to do about 40 percent with North Korea , and the rest is a mix of knowing what a corrupt buffoon he is and the incredible amount of leverage they have over him. I’ve certainly never heard of an American President pulling the rug out from under the authorities who determined ZTE was repeatedly in violation because a head of state squawked about it. The jobs are lost, that’s Xi’s problem, or at least it used to be.

MAN this guy is just as bad as Sarah.
