Perhaps you should rethink that line. I neither threw a tantrum, nor pulled it down. It's up and for sale if anyone wants to read it. Granted, I put a price on it that no one would pay but it's still up.

As for your description of tantrum, dear leader, I simply wanted you to tweet the story out the way I always shared your stories on social media. I really didn't give a shit if you liked it; you didn't, fine.

What I wanted was wider exposure that I knew you could give it. Maybe next time I'll get that tweet by writing something about a trans that makes her commit suicide.

There is a fear among some of Mr. Trump’s senior advisers about leaving him alone in meetings with foreign leaders out of concern he might speak out of turn. General McMaster, in particular, has tried to insert caveats or gentle corrections into conversations when he believes the president is straying off topic or onto boggy diplomatic ground.

This has, at times, chafed the president, according to two officials with knowledge of the situation. Mr. Trump, who still openly laments having to dismiss his first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, has groused that General McMaster talks too much in meetings, and the president has referred to him as “a pain,” according to one of the officials.

I agree with this, but this is what many of us imagined he would do. He's an idiot who only thinks about how things relate to him. Why would he consider how his actions might harm other people? This is who he has always been and if people didn't know that before they voted for him, they are deluded.

 

He really shouldn't piss off the Israelis.

 

Meanwhile, McConnell told reporters today that any tax plan will need to be revenue neutral and the border adjustment tax likely won't fly in the Senate, either.

 

Our new ambassador to Israel is having a fun first day. First Trump gives away the intel, and now this.
