8/11/18: Trump is enjoying what the White House calls a “working vacation” at his private golf club in Bedminster.
Of course, a Trump “working vacation,” is hard to distinguish from an ordinary Trump “workday.” We know the president has already spent a fourth of his time in office at his private clubs.
Trump fires a “lowlife” he hired.
Also, Trump’s “work” seems to consist of tweeting angry denials about having colluded with Russians and hurling insults at people he hired. First, there’s Omarosa, former star of The Apprentice. For some reason, she was awarded a place on the White House staff. (Cost to taxpayers: $179,700 a year.) Now, having been fired, she’s about to release a book chronicling life behind the scenes. It’s expected she’s going to say Trump is a racist, a bigot, a misogynist, and a blithering idiot.
To say
that Omarosa is not the most reliable witness, or even a likeable one, would be
to understate the case. Still, it’s amusing to consider the president’s
response. Asked Saturday if he felt betrayed by his reality-star friend, Trump
placed an open hand at the side of his mouth, as if to keep a secret. With the cameras running he muttered: “Lowlife. She’s a lowlife.”
The president wasn’t just mad at one lowlife who had written a book. (It’s titled Unhinged, if you want to rush right out and secure a copy.) He was furious with several people he hired. After lunch, Trump was on the attack again. This time his target was Jeff Sessions, the man he selected to head the Department of Justice.
Another pair of tweets was required:
The big story that the Fake News
Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with
Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly. It was Fusion GPS that
hired Steele to write the phony & discredited Dossier, paid for by Crooked
Hillary & the DNC....
....Do you believe Nelly worked
for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF “JUSTICE.” I have
never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and
Missing in Action [emphasis added]. It is all starting to be revealed - not
pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!
So,
there it was. Trump says it’s a witch hunt although his F.B.I. director says
it’s not (see: 8/5/18). Omarosa is a
lowlife – but Trump put her on his White House staff. Jeff Sessions is a coward
– and he picked him, too.

8/12/18: The president has no public events scheduled for the day. He’s still
on vacation at Bedminster.
