And he even went one better on Clinton. He got hacked.
Dummy used an open wifi connection in an airport. My parents did the same thing a couple of years ago and we all got that sort of email. Trapped in city x, send $1500 immediately please. We all knew better than that, but I had to lecture them about using unsecured wifi in public places.
Holy fuck! When do we frog march these clowns into prison for selling out our country to the Kremlin?
From the Washington Post:
Russian ambassador told Moscow that Kushner wanted secret channel with Kremlin
Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports.
See, you won’t catch the Trump team using a private email server. They just use Russian servers. Win!
Besties or beasties?
I digress, Wendi Deng was *married *to Rupert Murdoch and had a couple of kids with him. Supposedly she was boning Tony Blair. About as successful a gold digger as was ever born. Yep, she seems to be besties with Ivanka
Are you sure you spelt that right?
Trump cancels Iowa rally . Is this the start of this administration’s bunker mentality?
It looks like Trump’s economic advisor, Gary Cohn, is acknowledging that Trump isn’t smart.

“His views are evolving,” said National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn, who accompanied Trump at the G-7 summit. “He came here to learn. He came here to get smarter. ”
Cohn said Trump feels “much more knowledgeable” on the topic and “learned how important it is for the United States to show leadership.”
Memo to Donald Trump, Gary Cohn et al. : “race to the bottom” != “leadership.”

Well, yeah, Trump feels much more knowledgeable pretty much constantly. It’s that whole Dönning-Krueger thing.
“The Trump administration just imposed a massive tax increase. You may have missed it.”http://wapo.st/2qrs3cM
This week the Trump administration managed to impose a massive tax increase on middle-income families beginning in 2018. You could be excused for missing this story if you were focusing instead on President Trump’s draconian budget or Republican efforts to take away health care from tens of millions of people. But, indeed, on Monday, the Trump Health Care Tax was born.
The new tax, 19 percent or more of premiums, will be added on top of the cost of policies purchased through the individual-market health insurance exchanges. It is a result of Trump’s decision to create as much chaos as possible in the health-care market — in this case by not committing to continue to reimburse billions of dollars of cost-sharing payments owed to insurers just as they set prices for next year. And the president couldn’t have been more clear about why he’s imposing this tax: He thinks disrupting the Affordable Care Act exchanges, which serve more than 12 million Americans, will force Democrats to agree to proposals in his budget and in the House health-care bill that would take coverage away from tens of millions…
Fighting dirty. Anything goes, eh? Fucker.
Nice writing skillz from the Trump campaign: “Due to an unfortunate change in President Trump’s schedule, we will need to unfortunately postpone the previously schedule rally in Cedar Rapids.” Guess they’ve got the same breadth of language usage as their boss. Words. All the best words.
Also, in regards to this particular Iowa (non)visit, I work in a field where we typically receive advance coordination from the White House or Secret Service for such trips, prior to it being publicly announced. You know how we found out about this one? On the local TV news last Monday night.

This has been one of Trump’s (and the Republicans’) prime strategies. Prove the ACA doesn’t work, by throwing roadblocks and more costs in the way, forcing insurance companies to bail out of the exchanges and putting the hurt on individuals in the market.
It’s the GOP way - big government doesn’t work, because we aren’t going to let it!
“Trump considers major changes amid escalating Russia crisis”
President Trump and his advisers, seeking to contain the escalating Russia crisis that threatens to consume his presidency, are considering a retooling of his senior staff and the creation of a “war room” within the White House, according to several aides and outside Trump allies.
That includes proposals for more travel and campaign-style rallies* throughout the country so that Trump can speak directly to his supporters, as well as changes in the pace and nature of press briefings**, likely including a diminished role for embattled White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
While much remained fluid Saturday, the beefed-up operation could include the return of some of Trump’s more combative campaign aides, including former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who was fired nearly a year ago, and former deputy campaign manager David N. Bossie, who made his name in politics by investigating Bill and Hillary Clinton for two decades. Both of them have already been part of ongoing discussions about how to build a “war room,” which have been led in part by chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon.
Ohboyohboyohboy! Where’s my MAG hat?

I would hazard a guess that Trump has learned that the G7 are a bunch of different countries, and he is not the boss of them. This would have come as quite a shock to him.

Mr. “Healthiest President Ever” had to follow the G7 group in a golf cart.
He was marshalling his strength in order to launch his Poutrage Tour on return to the States. It may involve copious amounts of Tweeting.
(my italics).
What a delicious turn of phrase. So out with the old tools and in with some new ones for your entertainment?
Tools indeed.
It might not have been due to his lack of stamina; it might have been due to the fact that none of them will talk to him—and there would have been all sorts of embarrassing photos of him having to walk alone, while the others walk in chatty groups.
He may not be as physically strong as they are but mentally… Uh, never mind.
