of the first big cracks coming.
Hopefully the pressure will stay on him; we all know he cannot handle any kind of stress or pressure, whatsoever. He sounds more and more desperate and whiny.
He is so embarrassing now that I can't even say it's worse, as from godawful to whatever is beyond that is hard to fathom.
Here he is. . . The Pussy-Grabbing 45h President of the United States of America. . . . Scroll down to video, "Mike Pompeo smirks. . ."

After President Donald Trump said on Monday the U.S. will be "keeping the oil" in northeastern Syria, his administration is looking into the "specifics," according to a senior State Department official -- but it's prompted renewed cries that doing so is a war crime.
Trump has a long history of calling for the U.S. to "take the oil" in the Middle East, in Iraq and Syria in particular. But any oil in both countries belongs to their governments, and according to U.S. law and treaties it has ratified, seizing it would be pillaging, a technical term for theft during wartime that is illegal under U.S. and international law.
"We're keeping the oil," Trump said Monday to a conference of police chiefs in Chicago. "I've always said that -- keep the oil. We want to keep the oil, $45 million a month. Keep the oil. We've secured the oil."

I saw that smirk when it happened...
I wonder if this where Trudeau said he saw drumpf's teams jaws drop... that he wants them to testify in the Senate trial? I know Trudeau said at his makeup news conf it was about having the G7 at Camp David instead of Doral, but that was already out there.
Jeez...I'm watching too much news this week!
