Remember the amazing question that BBC reporter asked Pence at the NATO press conference?
"Who should European Leaders listen to?"
"Can they be certain that what you say, the assurances you give, won't be contradicted in a tweet or a statement at a press conference tomorrow?" One of the assurances Pence gave was that press freedoms are not under attack. Our allies now know his answer to that question is a lie. Good luck with damage control in the future Mike.

1. Who should European leaders listen to?
A darned good question, that. Maybe for now it's best to ignore the first two or three pronouncements out of the Trump administration. They almost never say what they mean the first time, then comes the walkback, then comes the petulant "Did so mean it!" After another couple of tries, they finally settle on some consistent point, which holds good for about 20 minutes. As a general rule, watch what these crooks do, not what they say.
And now President Trump is off to Florida for the weekend, again. |

7. Direct and to the point. 45 and vp aren't used to that.
They are used to soft-peddling of ideas, like "he mispoke" and "alternative facts".
