25. I don't need to fucking "chill out"
Sun May 7, 2017, 07:06 AM
May 2017

The issue is the consistent and persistent lack of the acceptance of the criticality of everything associated with the position of the Office of the President by the current occupant and his wayward staff, and this just underscores it. The "must be a short distance away" means the PERSON (military) who travels with the President who would be carrying it. THAT does not relate to this story about a lease in a specific place (private residence) in Trump Tower, the building of which he hasn't returned to since the inauguration. And especially knowing that the Russian mob leases in there too.
