Trump wondered how CNN contributor Steve Cortes could be Hispanic even though, the president said, he appeared to be of Northern European descent.

“He happens to be Hispanic, but I never quite figured it out because he looks more like a WASP than I do,” Trump said of Cortes, who was in the audience.

From the stage, he asked Cortes: "Who do you like more, the country or Hispanics?” Cortes appeared to mouth “country,” to which Trump replied: “I don’t know. I may have to go for the Hispanics, to be honest with you. We got a lot of Hispanics.”


From Trump's NM rally.

Sunday, Sept 15
@realDonaldTrump
Saudi Arabia oil supply was attacked. There is reason to believe that we know the culprit, are locked and loaded depending on verification, but are waiting to hear from the Kingdom as to who they believe was the cause of this attack, and under what terms we would proceed!

Monday, Sept 16
"I think that 'locked and loaded' is a broad term and talks about the realities that we're all far safer and more secure domestically from energy independence," said Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff Marc Short on Monday morning.

Tuesday, Sept 17
Vice President Mike Pence reiterates that the US is ready to defend its allies after Saudi oil field attack: "As the President said, we don't want war with anybody, but the United States is prepared. We're locked and loaded. And we are ready to defend our interests and our allies in the region, make no mistake about it."

Gabbard: Trump doesn't have power to use US military for Saudi Arabia's interests


Hey, uh, Ms. Gabbard, you probably missed when you all basically ceded all power to the executive branch, but since you are still a member of congress maybe you should try to reign that in, not just gum flap because you still think you might get a nomination for president.

A resolution to demand what congress is already responsible for seems stupid. U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 8, clause 1 & clauses 11–16 are adequate. Do your job.

Watched a bit of the Lewandowski "testimony" when I stopped home for lunch. What a fucking circus.

This headline from CNN pretty much sums it up perfectly:

Lewandowski stonewalls Democrats in hearing

I’d think Bibi’s promises sound historically familiar to other despicable regimes, yet it’s a close race.

WH intervening in the UAW/GM strike. What is this day two? Seems quick, but if you need votes you have no limits.

Working on the side of the UAW.

@realDonaldTrump
I am pleased to announce that I will name Robert C. O’Brien, currently serving as the very successful Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs at the State Department, as our new National Security Advisor. I have worked long & hard with Robert. He will do a great job!

National Park Service finds that the Border fence construction could destroy archaeological sites. The largest proponents will not care a rat's ass about that. Oh, and stand by for a termination, or mass termination, at the NPS.

Looks like Netanyahu is on his way out. Trump already turning his back on Bibi.
