I'm on nutcase watch today - Trump may do something stupid

Here's a brief note in a DU post from yesterday:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029897120

Apparently John Kelly made an evening visit to the Capitol for a meeting. Why? What message was he delivering to whomever he visited?

Trump is behaving even more irrationally than usual this morning, with his weird tweets, etc.

Kim Jong Un launched a more capable ballistic missile yesterday and Trump says, "We'll take care of it," and nothing further.

Keep an eye on breaking news today. Really.

But I get what you mean. Like "Fire Mueller" stupid as opposed to "Using a racial slur in an awards ceremony" stupid.

I don't really know how unusual it is for the CoS to visit the Capitol at night. Seems out of the pattern to me, though.

And he started the morning by retweeting vicious anti-Islam posts. Followed by commenets on Mat Lauer...

From NYT: Mr. Trump retweeted the video posts from an ultranationalist British party leader, Jayda Fransen, who has previously been charged in the United Kingdom with “religious aggravated harassment,” according to news reports. The videos were titled: “Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!” “Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!” and “Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!”

twitterings result from frustration. Could be whatever happened last night have blocked him in some way? As you say.

We're always looking at DC from outside, so there's always a fair chance that we're missing something important.

Trump is surely looking for something dramatic he can do. North Korea is always there, waiting...
