I hope it hurt his feelings. Imagine. Someone didn’t bow down or pander to that sick fuck for once. Imagine. He had the infinite gall to call her during the FUNERAL, after the Nazi loving filth he spewed. I hope all those federal and state investigators bury him. ---

That said, I may be taking anything he predicts with some grains of salt. Two weeks ago he said [Trump is going to fire Mueller](https://twitter.com/tonyschwartz/status/893255970062831616). Schwartz has always had who the man is pegged, I just am skeptical he grasps some of the variables in the unprecedented role and surroundings Trump is in. ---

I doubt he would have been there. I don’t think he would have liked being a distraction. He would have sent someone, though. ---

Trump was on all the channels, talking to the troops, while I wanted to watch the eclipse show on Nova. It was delayed, but not canceled, thank heavens. I think the jerk wanted to hog the TV and “eclipse” the day’s coverage. Oh, and he’s still breathing. ---

So I studied Afghanistan in great detail and from every conceivable angle. After many meetings, over many months, we held our final meeting last Friday at Camp David with my cabinet and generals to complete our strategy. “… to do the exact opposite of what I used to say we should do”, he continued, in so many words. I also like how his new Afghanistan strategy is basically an extension of the military genius brainwave he had during the campaign when he found out that the Americans and their Iraqi allies had made no secret of their intention to recapture the city of Mosul, thus forfeiting the “element of surprise”. Trump’s new Afghanistan strategy is, therefore, to not tell anyone anything. ---

Trump’s other councils may have disbanded but at least he still has his Evangelical Advisory Board.

I quietly stepped away from my involvement with the board several months ago and submitted my formal letter of resignation as of Tues Aug 15, 2017. Other members of the Board still supporting Trump and his “values” include Michele “Crazy Eyes” Bachmann, James Dobson, Jerry Falwell Jr and Ralph Reed, all fine representatives of the Christian faith. ---
