The new policy in the Banana Republic of Trump…barring all officials from listening to his phone calls…

And, more covert meetings with his henchmen (Pompeo, Barr, Guiliani et al) with their International Criminal Enterpise!

Meanwhile, The Criminal IMPetus made “You are not king” trending in Twitter…

In Bloomberg’s tweet…Trump is nothing but a CBC = “Carnival Barking Clown”

“I was there for a couple of hours. I was there to meet with some Emiratis, and like I said, they said I should meet this Russian guy. It lasted about as long as a beer.” - Erik Prince on Seychelles meeting

Mere happenstance. We do it all the time. Get over it.

So the Trump boys had a secret meeting with the Russians.

And actually trusted Putin not to spill the beans.

These guys just aren’t very bright, are they?
