I believe the lawyer he has is a long time friend/lawyer and not someone versed in washington politics, hearings, etc.. so he is outside his area of expertise. big law firms have turned the orange one down.. he doesn't pay bills and more importantly, does not listen.

Chelsea Handler tweet: The WH kept Trump off Twitter during Comey’s testimony. I’m guessing they hid his phone in a salad.

From tiny hands....
"Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication...and WOW, Comey is a leaker!"
So what we have here is trump's version of an "honest message".

So not shocked!! He is shitting himself. He is neber wrong, never does anything wrong and everyone ELSE is the cheat, liar, faker, etc. So he is now accusing Comey of perjury. Whatever Trump, just keep your spin coming...it's all you have right now.

I heard the same here. Nobody wants to venture into this debacle with him. He pretty much has ruined his credibility (or what he had left after Trump University) and no one wants to touch him.

From ABC News...
"Pres Trump on if “tapes” exist of his conversations with Comey: "Well, I'll tell you about that maybe sometime in the near future.”
What the hell, either you have the tapes or you don't. What a child.

What a child. ^^^ he really is all about creating buzz and drama, isn't he? he doesn't want to be POTUS at all... he just wants people to give him adulation, and to be talking about him. He wants to feel important.

From ABC News... "Pres Trump on if “tapes” exist of his conversations with Comey: "Well, I'll tell you about that maybe sometime in the near future.” What the hell, either you have the tapes or you don't. What a child. Standard reality show stuff. Except this is (global) politics at one minute to midnight on the nuclear threat clock... We have "he said, he said" along with all the wrong bromantic partners getting the roses. We have villains complaining that they are heroes, really, the problem is they got a bad edit. We have a whole bunch of people confusing good clothes, a humongous budget and good looks for goodness/class. Also "you're fired" but not for objectively messing up a task, rather because it was personal. Lots of travel (I had to sneak in the amazing race somehow). The tribe has spoken and continues to speak- but a worldwide audience doesn't always agree. Lots of rats and snakes (the first season of Survivor was the most memorable, IMO). Unfortunately, the season of this show is a bit over-long; opinions remain divided whether the contract will be renewed. Train wrecks bring many viewers, after all. Missing, again IMO, are the Tim Gunn character and the Ru Paul character (can't have one of those, the base doesn't like those) who have the discernment to give objective advice and/ or an injunction "don't eff it up". Sad. Everything I need to know about 45 I learned from reality television.

I know why you call him President yam, but I keep picturing Tony Tan Yam..president of Singapore lol. I'm still not sure why the maligning of such a fine tuber as yams. It can't be the color as most true yams are not orange, some can be but they are white, beige, yellow and even purple. And also most true yams have a thick skin, unlike the thin skinned sweet potato. They are also less starchy and sticky than sweet potatoes too. Real yams are very bigly not similar our overly tanned, sticky, thin skinned POTUS, believe me. I'm sure there is a reason but I'm over worked and out of the loop this month so carry on.

Series of tweets from Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of GoldmanSachs... "Today's decision is a setback for the environment and for the U.S.'s leadership position in the world. #ParisAgreement" "Leadership helps 🇺🇸Our language is dominant; $ global; 🌎talent comes. Bad if lost. Consider w/ making policy on enviro, trade, defense, etc." "Arrived in China, as always impressed by condition of airport, roads, cell service, etc. US needs to invest in infrastructure to keep up!" "Just landed from China, trying to catch up.... How did "infrastructure week" go?" Someone got slammed...

Hey Lloyd. It's kinda hard to do big infrastructure in the US when you and all your 1% cronies have locked up the wealth of the nation. The bottom 80% owns 7% of the wealth of the nation. You want infrastructure? Convince your buds to pony up some of their concentrated wealth!!!

Nor do I feel they should just get up and pay for the infrastructure. Do I think they need to be regulated? Absolutely. Do I think they should pay more in taxes? Yes by closing loopholes and looking into a reparation tax. What I don't like are the Republicans tripping all over themselves to cater to the wants of corporations and the rich by cutting taxes and removing regulations at the expense of everyone else. The Republicans by catering to corporations and the rich have turned them into what people don't like or trust today.

To continue my mini rant about what the Republicans in Congress should be doing when it comes to corporations.
This is from an email I received from the California Department of Insurance about Berkshire Hathaway.
"Insurance Commissioner secures numerous concessions from insurer to protect California businesses from high-risk, deregulated workers’ compensation product
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — After a year of legal wrangling, Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones announced today that the California Department of Insurance has reached a settlement agreement with Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries to stop the bait and switch marketing tactics used to sell a workers' compensation insurance product, which led to numerous complaints from employers caught up in the costly and complicated policies. “This is a significant victory in protecting California businesses from sophisticated bait and switch marketing tactics,” said Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones. “We have gone to the limit of our authority over workers' compensation insurance products in winning concessions that eliminate oppressive contract terms, such as the insurer requiring arbitration in the British Virgin Islands. The revised product terms include lower rates, improved disclosures, and limiting sale of the product only to companies that can absorb the substantial risks"
It would seem even old Warren is not above trying to pull a fast one. This is what the Republicans in Congress should be doing and not making it easier for the Corporations to pull this stuff.
