It’s obviously way too early to make bold predictions but these mid-terms are already starting to look like the 2006 bloodbath that the GOP suffered through during Bush’s struggles with Hurricane Katrina and the war in Iraq. I took Bush II 6 years to destroy the republican brand. It took trump 6 months. Greatest president ever? You decide. ---

I just posted this link in another thread but I’m also going to drop it here because I’m so impressed. The FAKE NEWS Golf Magazine article is an awesome piece of reporting. Really. > **[First Golfer: Donald Trump's relationship with golf has never been more...](https://golf.com/lifestyle/celebrities/first-golfer-donald-trumps-relationship-with-golf-has-never-been-more-complicated/)** > > Donald Trump is never more at home than he is on the links. But, as with everything in the life of a President, his relationship with the game—and the relationships he's built through it—are more complicated now. Lots of details about Trumps relationships with his golf properties and his legal battles. It’s entertaining , informative and highly readable. And they call him “surprisingly limber for a portly man”. That’s a sweet reflection of the tone of the rest of the article. ---

He says he won New Hampshire because [it’s a drug-infested den](http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/03/politics/trump-new-hampshire-drugs/index.html). Okay, I’ll give him that one. 😉 ---

It’s sadly amusing how both the leaders of Australia and Mexico find it necessary to explain things to the leader of the US as if he were a five year old. Bonus amusement: Trump admitting that Nieto speaks better English than him. ---

In other news, Trump is leaving on a [17-day golf retreat](http://www.newsweek.com/trump-slammed-obama-taking-vacation-then-booked-17-day-golf-retreat-645952) starting this weekend. But I suppose he can do less damage there than in the White House. ---

This is the hopeful part. Although Donnie will never admit he couldn’t whoop the system. Whether they hear it or not, is totally irrelevant. It’s all about what they will or will not believe.

CNN is now reporting that Medvedev has called Traitor Trump “impotent” for signing the new sanctions bill. Those are fighting words for Chump. (I am curious what his Viagra bill looks like. That would be an interesting document to leak.) ---
