This is literally the next district over from me. It is one of the more liberal, more ethnically diverse sections of the Bay Area. His platform isn’t going to get traction with many people.
I've lost the tweet, but paraphrase:
More telling than any investigation's evidence is that Trump doesn't have an insulting nickname for Putin.
The summit has been a shitshow. Is the blimp up? Can Trump see it? I want him to see it.

Well, they seem to have misquoted him in the headline, and that's what "fake news" is all about it. They only care about the headline. Clickbait headline? Fake news. Opinion they disagree with in the headline? Fake news. The content of the article doesn't matter, it's all about the headline because that's what Trumpers read, then they get the rest of the "story" from talk shows.
In any case, his comments about the Prime Minister and Brexit are not the big issue. What should be taking center stage are his blatantly racist comments about immigration in Europe. He openly says that he thinks immigration has had a negative effect on Europe, and that it will have a negative effect on the United States as well.
No nazi, no nazi... you're the nazi...
I'm not from Illinois.
My guess is they'd look to Shakespeare for inspiration rather than a American TV.
Look for Trump to be served pies made from Don Jr and Eric.
The Trump administration is already spinning this as “proof” there was no collusion on their part.

Dolt45 blames the Russian hackers indicted recently on the Obama adminstration.
“These Russian individuals did their work during the Obama years,” he tweeted later. “Why didn’t Obama do something about it? Because he thought crooked Hillary would win, that’s why. Had nothing to do with the Trump administration, but Fake News doesn’t want to report the truth as usual!”
So, basically, Dolt45 is asking why Obama didn't do more to stop Dolt45. This is a desperate cry for help from a man in over his head. "Why didn't you do more to stop me? I hate this job, but I'm stuck doing it. Why, oh why, didn't you do more to stop me?"

Trump Lies So Much That Journalists Now Measure Things Like ‘Dishonesty Density’
So, I guess not every word out of his mouth is a lie. Only 7.3% of what he says is a lie.... but the number is rising.

To be treason we'd have to be in a state of open hostility with Russia. We're not at war with them, but would this cyber attack on our government institutions constitute open hostility? It was intended to be a covert action, but if it was done with the knowledge of American officials, then their actions were known openly. And what they did with the hacked data was done openly. They may not have revealed themselves as Russians doing it, but their attempts to change the results of the election were done in public. I can't begin to figure out the legal realities of this.
This thread about recent uncharacteristic Trump tweets is worth a read. These are too sophisticated for Trump's ... Trumpiness.
