July 11-14, 2017: With Donald J. Trump Jr. You Get Hair Gel and Russians

 

7/11/17: The President of the United States rises early and starts his day by retweeting two stories from Fox & Friends. Another tweet, lamenting the deaths of 17 servicemen in a plane crash follows. 

The story of the meeting with Donald Jr. and – somebody – about something – is going to be cleared up, he insists: “My son, Donald, will be interviewed by @seanhannity tonight at 10:00 P.M. He is a great person who loves our country!”
 

On Hannity, Jr. swears the whole tale has been revealed. Hannity and Jr. trade admiring glances. Both are huge fans of hair gel. The meeting was just Jr. and Jared and Paul and, okay, a Russian lawyer. (See 7/14/17.)

7/12/17: On the way to France for a meeting with President Macron, Trump sits down on Air Force One and chats with reporters. He hasn’t been talking much to the media, probably because when he does they report the stupid crap that spills from his lips like St. Bernard drool.

Beware the flying bales of marijuana.

Now he explains his plans for the Great Wall of Trump. When the Mexicans pay, he is going to put in a special order. He elaborates: 

One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it.

 

In other words, if you can’t see through that wall—so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what’s on the other side of the wall.

 

And I’ll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them—they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall.

 

Some presidents, like Woodrow Wilson, want to make the world safe for democracy. 

Others want to make Americans safe from flying bales of marijuana.

7/13/17: Glaciers around the world are still melting. Ocean temperatures are still rising. The president is still clueless. 

That is all.

7/14/17: The guest list for the meeting with Donald Jr. and the Russians continues to grow. In an interview with Fox News, where all Trumps go when sad, Jr. forgets who was there. 

Okay, he says. There were two Russians. That’s it. Two! A Russian-American lobbyist named Rinat Akhmetshin is the second. NPR says he has been described “as a Russian ‘gun for hire’ and a former Soviet-era spy and has worked in the West for years as an advocate for Russian interests.” 

Okay. No more Russians! (See: 7/18/17.)
