Today? Hmm, let’s see. There must be something. Oh, right here it is: [Trump, citing no evidence, accuses Obama of ‘Nixon/Watergate’ plot to wiretap Trump Tower](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2017/03/04/trump-accuses-obama-of-nixonwatergate-plot-to-wire-tap-trump-tower/?utm_term=.2cad8735c9d5) ---

> [@Bayard](#): > > As recently as last week, Trump promised that the Dakota Access Pipeline would only go forward if it was going to be built with American steel. > > What Trump the Amazing Businessman failed to take into account is that the project is already underway and the steel has been acquired. It’s hard to switch major suppliers in the middle of a massive construction project. (Although to be fair Trump never touted his construction expertise during the campaign). Anyway, bottom line, the pipeline won’t use American steel. > > [http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/keystone-pipeline-us-steel-trump/](http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/keystone-pipeline-us-steel-trump/) Considering he won’t use American steel(and aluminum) in his own projects, I doubt he was going to go through with it. How much do you want to bet he knew the steel was already committed and this way he can claim he tried? ---

> [@jsc1953](#): > > Fortunately (and I may be whistling past the graveyard) I think his budget outline is Dead On Arrival. I never heard anybody asking for the military increase, nobody wants to cut programs, and nobody wants to raise taxes, and nobody wants to increase the deficit. Nobody wants to increase the deficit? Bullshit. Now that Republicans are in office, raising the deficit is fine. They’ve been doing it since Reagan; is there anybody who thinks they won’t do it again? ---

That’s why he spelled it with two "p"s, to differentiate what was done to him from a commonly understood wiretap (which only has the one “p.”) Also, when he said “sitting President,” he didn’t mean Obama who, as we know, often stood up. ---

I’m surprised no one has quoted this yet: When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.” “The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” “The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master – – that’s all.” ---
