I feel a lot better about Trump's trade war with China now that he's told us he doesn't GAF.
Trump was reportedly asked by an unnamed reporter, “Mr. President, any second thoughts on escalating the trade war with China?”
“Yeah, sure, why not? ” Trump replied and, pressed further, he added, “Might as well, might as well,” and then “I have second thoughts about everything.”

Teabagger & "ALLEGED" Deadbeat Dad Joe Walsh planning to challenge Trump. Oy vey.
Kinda gives you a clue as to how far we've ventured into the outer limits. Walsh? A Teabagger? That's the Republican answer to challenging a president who is crazy and unfit for office?

Trump goes to bat for Kim and Putin at G7, claims "multiple leaders agree," won't name them
He quipped to reporters that North Korea hadn’t violated any rules by launching missiles, only to be quickly corrected by Japanese leader Shinzo Abe.
“We’re in the world of missiles folks, whether you like it or not,” Trump said, adding he understands how Abe “feels that way.”
“I’m not happy about it,” he said of North Korea’s launches, but continued to praise Kim Jong Un.
He suggested that multiple foreign leaders had told him they agreed that Russia should be readmitted to the G-7, when Europeans have been adamant that Russia should remain ostracized and argued with Trump about it at a dinner Saturday evening. Trump declined to specify who had agreed with him. “I could but I don’t believe that’s necessary,” he said.

Given that Trump is looking forward to a "fun project" of gutting Medicare and SS in "term two"...
...I see a few possibilities here.
1). Trump voters are too fucking stupid to hear him announcing his intention to do this
2). Trump voters don't give a fuck if they lose SS and Medicare
3). Trump voters believe that Trump will only gut SS and Medicare for people who do not wear red hats
4). Trump voters see this and hear this and think it's fake news
...because my head is exploding over this shit. Who can take this in and not see the #1 priority as making sure he never gets that second term?

Trump: "If Republicans take back the House, and keep the Senate and Presidency..."
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
“Face It, You Probably Got A Tax Cut!” This was a New York Times headline, and it is very true. If Republicans take back the House, and keep the Senate and Presidency, one of our first acts will be to approve a major middle income Tax Cut! Democrats only want to raise your taxes!

Just now on MSNBC...Trump now saying he was robbed of "10 to 15 million votes" in 2016
MSNBC's playing back remarks to reporters that were recorded a few minutes ago.
Started into 2016 again and ended his remarks by saying the votes he should have gotten could be "as high as 10 to 15 million."

Trump tweets "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" to no one in particular
It's a 4-tweet chain of China rant tweets, but he is not addressing an individual.Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
...Additionally, the remaining 300 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, that was being taxed from September 1st at 10%, will now be taxed at 15%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

OK, this Fox News poll MIGHT be fake. Can't confirm it, don't have a link, but it looks legit to me.
