Trump distracts from the real damage with tweets and scandals

[TexasTowelie]

I can't remember now where I saw it, but there was an interesting video on one of the social media sites last week in which an interviewer randomly asked attendees at the Donald Trump rally in Tulsa why they love Trump so much.

"Are you kidding?" one woman asked. "He's done everything he said he would do."

"He moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem," said another.

"He actually lets our troops shoot back when they're shot at," said a young man sporting an American flag t-shirt.

"He's made this country great again," said an older man in the trademark red baseball cap. "Nobody's pushing us around any more. And that's nothing but good."

3. Weirdest thing to me reading Bolton's book right now (4 chapters in)--

As various issues are discussed, Trump says he's going to tweet about it and never does Bolton express trepidation about how that will turn out. He includes many of Trump's argle-bargle tweets word for word and simply says that was in line with the discussion they had. No comments yet like, "Oh gawd, he sent out another insane tweet that made everything worse." There are a few mentions of discussions he had with Mattis or Kelly that you can picture them rolling their eyes at what's going on, but so far absolutely no description of Donny as someone incapable of being President.

And the book itself is a slog. Imagine Proust was a war-mongering neocon asshole who thought he was always right and you've got the tone of Bolton's book.
