Could be he sees a chance for a twofer – revenge _and_ avoiding embarrassing questions. Meanwhile, after CIA Director Brennan said he did not think Trump understood Russia, Disease-elect Trump countered in his latest tweet that Brennan could be the source of leaks against him.

> [@psychobunny](#): > > Not a twitter, but I noticed that he canceled his visit to the African-American History Museum today. Anybody else think that he’s doing it out of revenge against Lewis? I can’t imagine how it’s revenge, although Trump no doubt sees it that way. His handlers probably canceled the appearance out of shame. The people at the museum are no doubt thrilled they won’t have to share their air with Trump. Wouldn’t you be? ---

It isn’t gilded nor does it have the letters “TRUMP” amblazened on the forehead. Everyone is assuming this is a racial thing but Trump is far too self absorbed to care about skin color; Trump will probably replace it with a bust of his own head, or a pile of mashed sweet potatoes with two tiny holes poked in it for his beedy little eyes.

> [@Steve\_MB](#): > > [Trump: Approval polls are rigged against me](http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/314513-trump-approval-polls-are-rigged-against-me) To be fair, if you’re a moron, polls seemed to miss badly in 2016 predicting wrongly in the major events. Its not unreasonable to think that if they were wrong about you winning and you ‘won in a landslide’ then when they say everyone hates you it means that everyone loves you. Of course this skips over that they were right about the popular vote and the events happening were inside the margin of error (in most cases). And even if they were wrong by the same margin now they were when he won the election he would still be the least popular president entering the office in decades. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > Really, what Joe S is missing is that Trump is mentally ill. That presents a more intriguing possibility. What if Pence and Ryan decide to stage a coup? They declare Trump unable to perform his office under amendment 25 of the constitution, lock him up in a convenient rubber room somewhere. Pence is effectively president, and there is no need to have an impeachment. They could solemnly swear that they are very sorry for poor Trump, and he will be resuming his duties as soon as he is better, wink wink, nudge nudge. Is St. Elizabeth’s still open? If not I’m sure there is some similar place to keep him.
