Tillersen has to respond to concerns that the Russian's bugged the oval? Come on, they had a guy with a camera and who knows how much more recording gear with him. It was likely just captured by the state sponsored reporter sitting in the room. Perhaps, because Putin is offering the transcript, it is just completely made up so he can enjoy some more tail chasing and finger pointing.

Evidently, trump is about to present a commencement address at the coast guard academy. An agency slated for massive budget cuts.

Rumbling, stumbling, bumbling... just off the hip, no real plan aside from writing down the number of graduates.

But wait, its about ME! F-35, Jerry Ford Aircraft Carrier! Me, Me, Me. Under budget and ahead of schedule.

Its a run up to the next Trump Direct Press Conference, followed by his getting on the plane to leave the country. Imagine how much worse it would be if there were tweets, because you know that something 6 <more> degrees past crazy would be in the mix.


Maybe he doesn't come back? Has AF1 change direction mid-flight, lands in Moscow and seeks asylum.

The Hill's 12:30 Report starts out like this...

A midday take on what's happening in politics and how to have a sense of humor about it.*

*Ha. Haha. Hahah. Sniff. Haha. Sniff. Ha--breaks down crying hysterically.


From his "inspiring" message to the CGA Graduates

On the media: "Look at the way I've been treated lately by the media. No politician in history … has been treated worse or more unfairly."

On his presidency: "'I've accomplished a tremendous amount in a very short time as president...' Trump tells Coast Guard grads..." http://bit.ly/2pLrejz


Side note: "CNN was showing the Dow down 250 points today on screen as Trump bragged about the economy." http://bit.ly/2rfKxS2

Matt Fuller‏Verified account @MEPFuller

I ask Rob Bishop if he's concerned about Trump seeming to reveal classified info.

Bishop: "OK, what non-answer do you want me to give you?"


In a related note, people in Utah are rejoicing that someone found Rep. Matt Fuller alive and well, they have not seen him in a rather long time.

Heard a sound bite from it where he said (paraphrasing): "No other politician in history has ever been treated more unfairly than me", because obviously the Coast Guard commencement is mostly about him.

I have honestly never heard an adult complain so much about being treated "unfairly" as much as Trump does. It's like listening to a 5 year old when you take away his toy. "No fair!"

Everybody's favorite trump surrogate scottie nell hughes turns the worm and asks if Comey having documentation is a blackmail move on BBC. There is no where safe to get news these days.

Ivanka Trump Criticized Over Chinese Factories Allegedly Paying $1-an-Hour. Poor Ivankna, always getting picked on. See Bloomberg for more, but it serious messes up her person brand. Get her new book: Women who work for $14/day. Fact is as much as $98 for their 98 Hour Work Week.

There is a guy on CNN from the American Center for Law and justice who says that Comey has no credibility and he's the wrong guy to put up against the president. One would have to then say that that would mean the president has more credibility. This guy needs to crawl back under a rock. Especially because he's jumping all over David Gergen I have to really like.

It's a true sellout turnout for Trump surrogates today. People you've not seen before or have not heard from in a long time are showing up everywhere with these the same and disclaim stuff around Comey.
