During Trumps remarks with May, he kept saying Chequers - his location [View all]

the history of Chequers, how he read about Chequers in school, Churchill/Chequers and on and on...Chequers, Chequers, Chequers. Constantly mentioning the name of the place.

Each time Trump said the word all I could think about was Nixon's Checkers Speech .

I'm not a crook

There was no collusion and no obstruction of justice

Checkers

Chequers

Checkers saved Nixon at the time. Don't think Chequers helped Trump any.

Still...the mind wobbles through space and time.
