This is happening because of another thing he has to worry about: Mueller.

Actor George Clooney responds to Trump calling him "Hollywood elite."

"Here’s the thing: I grew up in Kentucky. I sold insurance door-to-door. I sold ladies’ shoes. I worked at an all-night liquor store. I would buy suits that were too big and too long and cut the bottom of the pants off to make ties so I’d have a tie to go on job interviews. I grew up understanding what it was like to not have health insurance for eight years. So this idea that I’m somehow the “Hollywood elite” and this guy who takes a shit in a gold toilet is somehow the man of the people is laughable.

People in Hollywood, for the most part, are people from the Midwest who moved to Hollywood to have a career. So this idea of “coastal elites” living in a bubble is ridiculous. Who lives in a bigger bubble? He lives in a gold tower and has twelve people in his company. He doesn’t run a corporation of hundreds of thousands of people he employs and takes care of. He ran a company of twelve people! When you direct a film you have seven different unions all wanting different things, you have to find consensus with all of them, and you have to get them moving in the same direction. He’s never had to do any of that kind of stuff.

I just look at it and I laugh when I see him say “Hollywood elite.” Hollywood elite? I don’t have a star on Hollywood Boulevard, Donald Trump has a star on Hollywood Boulevard! Fuck you!"

Private Emails, Private Jets and Mr. Trump’s Idea of Public Service

A great column regarding the corruption and ineptitude within the Trump administration. This paragraph caught my attention. Simply put, what qualifications does Jared Kushner have to be a Senior Adviser to the POTUS?
Quote:
Mr. Kushner seems to have a particular problem with official record keeping, having failed to list scores of assets on his government financial disclosure, and forgotten to include meetings with Russians on his security clearance form. Given his central role in the campaign and White House, imagine how his latest lapse in transparency looks to the special counsel, Robert Mueller, and his team, now hoovering up White House documents in their investigation of possible collusion with Russia. Mr. Kushner’s failure to disclose the personal email concerns leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who learned of it from news reports.
Fortunately, despite the best efforts of WH Chief of Staff Kelly, leaks continue to pour into WaPo and NYT, those two failing fake news organizations.

On Twitter, Trump attacks mayor of San Juan for ‘poor leadership’ amid deepening crisis

Trump should look at himself in the mirror first.

“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character."

Joseph Heller, Catch 22

He fully understood Trump, years before Trump's rise to power.

Yes, Rex, he's a moron. Now stop the ass kissing and just resign, already. It's never going to get any better for you as long as the moron is in charge.
