The conversion of the Trump press machine to [a parody of the North Korean News Agency](http://gizmodo.com/cnn-pundit-who-quit-on-saturday-reappears-as-donald-tru-1797580045) apparently is complete. Now hosted by ex-CNN employee and spell-checker test subject Kayleigh McEnany, “News of the Week” (from Trump Tower!) covers the important stories that the Fake News outlets routinely ignore, such as the undeniable facts that last week Mr. Trump handed out some Congressional Medals of Honor, attended a rally on his own behalf, and most significantly, provided incontrovertible photographic evidence that our President can hold a sign saying “TRUMP DIGS COAL” upright and facing toward the camera. Were you aware that Mr. Trump, merely by playing golf every other weekend, has personally added 1 million jobs to the economy? of course you weren’t, because you weren’t watching “News of the Week”. Thank heaven we finally have a source of Truth out there for discerning Patriots such as myself. ---

We need more patriotic Americans like this one. This is visible. Trump can see it and can’t dismiss it as #FAKENEWS. [‘HAPPY TO HELP, BRO’: Putin’s image was projected on a Trump hotel in New York](http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-putin-meme-russia-trump-soho-hotel-new-york-2017-8) ---

The real professionals have always been in politics. Maybe so, but this wasn’t a matter of a political outwitting. It’s Trump basically whining “If you’re not going to pay for this wall, I’m just going to take my ball and go home.” Is he so used to everybody bending over backwards to please him? Sheesh… ---

Scaring me, too. Sitting in Chicago, which may be the easternmost US city NK missiles can reach depending on which media reports one reads, he’s pissing me off and scaring me in equal measure. \*NK threatening Guam aside, lobbing one at Chicago would be a much stronger demonstration of their capabilities. \*Trump doesn’t care because (a) NK missiles probably can’t reach NYC or Washington DC, and he’d be evacuated by helicopter anyhow, so they can’t get him, and (b) he and his hardcore supporters don’t give a tinker’s damn for cities or the liberal democrat cosmopolitan non-Amurricans who live there. An American city blown off the map would be a few crocodile tears and a bloody shirt to wave around, that’s it. :eek: Trump can stick his escalationist testosterone-fueled ironically-very-NK-sounding “fire and fury” rhetoric where the sun doesn’t shine. :mad: ---
