I can’t decide whether that’s tariffic or tariffying. I’m beginning to believe that Infrastructure Week is not coming. I blame Rudy Giuliani. Like I always said, he’s no Michael Cohen.

See the Holtzmann op-ed in the NYTimes. Congress demanded and received the full Nixon tapes. The transcript had been altered. The longer Trump’s team stalls on giving Congress the full audio recordings, the worse it will get. A lesson from history

Too distracted? Has anyone seen this man talk? He’s like a hamster on crack standing on hot coals in a running blender.

Anyone consider turning off the TV new and playing some Enya in the Oval Office for a while?
