This is the time to keep the pressure up. The real President should really tee off Trump. Hopefully some new Birtherism tweets that disparages all protestors as not born in America. Trump has really stepped in it, and will keep stepping in it, you have to wonder if deeply, subconsciously, Trump is seeking a way out so he doesn't have to do this job that he's no good at anymore.

One question, though: How is the nation's cheese supply? When the President concludes his remarks, do we have enough cheese to go with the ensuing hours of Whines from the Giant Orange Bitch?
