He is so hoping the Russia Russia will be forgotten. The more he tweets and denies, the more he looks guilty.

We trade more w/Canada each day than w/Japan, Germany and the UK COMBINED! Canada is our largest export market. It's going to kill exports. But Trump doesn't care about logic & reason, just brute force and "winning". $2Billion/day. You ( the US ) don't actually trade directly with the UK or Germany. The trade agreements are made via the European Union. The goods might end up in the individual countries but the actual agreement is with the EU. With Trump deregulating safety and regulations for a lot of businesses and corporations that exports he's also putting the agreement in jeopardy. The EU have pretty strong safety and regulations on anything that is imported to the member countries and if the US don't comply with the same safety standards as the EU then they won't let the goods in. If you only take this list of the top 15 and add the 5 EU countries it's over $200 billion and that doesn't include the other EU countries. It's all very well for him to cut the safety and regulations but he obviously hasn't thought of the wider implications. Canada: US$266 billion (18.3% of total American exports) Mexico: $231 billion (15.9%) China: $115.8 billion (8%) Japan: $63.3 billion (4.4%) United Kingdom: $55.4 billion (3.8%) Germany: $49.4 billion (3.4%) South Korea: $42.3 billion (2.9%) Netherlands: $40.4 billion (2.8%) Hong Kong: $34.9 billion (2.4%) France: $32.4 billion (2.2%) Belgium: $32.3 billion (2.2%) Brazil: $30.3 billion (2.1%) Singapore: $26.9 billion (1.8%) Taiwan: $26 billion (1.8%) Switzerland: $22.7 billion (1.6%) linkAgreed. But if you look at the value of goods from/to w/each individual nation, the numbers still stand. Canada is about $278 in and $266 bn out per year. Japan is $200bn in & out; UK is just over $100 bn in & out and Germany is $170bn in and out. The big money boys will not let him shitcan NAFTA. They'll let him tinker and then claim that he "improved it, yugely!" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_largest_trading_partners_of_the_United_States

And even more good news: www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2018/02/03/white-house-to-withdraw-controversial-nominee-to-head-council-on-environmental-quality/"The White House will withdraw its controversial nominee to head the Council on Environmental Quality, Kathleen Hartnett White, according to three administration officials briefed on the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced yet. Much of the mainstream scientific community agreed. In November, more than 300 scientists from around the country signed a letter urging the Senate to reject her confirmation. It cited her “dangerous” views about climate change, saying. “This is not a partisan issue; it is a matter of defending scientific integrity.” Confirming Harnett White, the group said, “would have serious consequences for people and the ecosystems of the only planet that can support us.” Before being nominated, Hartnett White criticized the 2007 Supreme Court decision finding that the federal government had the legal authority to regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. “I take issue with that,” she told The Post in an interview in the fall of 2016. “Carbon dioxide has none of the characteristics of a pollutant that could harm human health.”" She thinks "carbon is good" because our bones are made of carbon. I guess she would think it was "good" to sit in a closed garage breathing in all that lovely carbon monoxide. Hey, carbon. Good!

He looks so stoned or drugged in this clip. Not to mention mentioning Cornyn twice while simultaneously blaming others for Cornyn's name being "missing".

Donald Trump wants a plan for a preemptive attack against North Korea. Pentagon is concerned that if they provide one, he will use it. "But the Pentagon, they say, is worried that the White House is moving too hastily toward military action on the Korean Peninsula that could escalate catastrophically. Giving the president too many options, the officials said, could increase the odds that he will act. " www.nytimes.com/2018/02/01/us/politics/white-house-pentagon-north-korea.html

Holy crap..that is terrifying. Trump was saying on the day of the SOTU that war brings people together He didn't actually say that "war" brings people together. This is the quote that I've read on a few reports. The one below being one of them. Times of suffering and a major event doesn't always mean war. Trump spoke about creating a more united country during a lunch with a number of television news anchors. Trump said the United States has long been divided, including during the impeachment of former president Bill Clinton. Trump also said that Americans usually come together during times of suffering.
“I would love to be able to bring back our country into a great form of unity,” Trump said. “Without a major event where people pull together, that’s hard to do. But I would like to do it without that major event because usually that major event is not a good thing.” link

Time articleRachel Maddow... “Congressman Devin Nunes to Bret Baier on Friday night: “I don't believe that somebody like Mr. Page should be a target of the FBI.” Natasha Bertrand... “! Big news from @time: “Over the past half year, I have had the privilege to serve as an informal advisor to the staff of the Kremlin,” Page wrote in a 2013 letter.” Here is a question. How did Carter Page end up being one of trump’s foreign policy advisers?

"In another sign of the darkness that's descended over our White House, there's not been a single State dinner in the 1st year (1st time in a century). And the days when music & other arts performances were part of WH life: gone. Of course, which artists would want to do it?"
Remember when a younger Lin-Manuel Miranda showcased a new song in 2009 for Obama and Michelle. Try to imagine a new Miranda showcasing as exciting and innovative idea in the Melania/Trump White House. It beggars belief.

“We're probably overdue for a chat about how/why Trump chose Page as a foreign policy adviser -- a decision neither Trump nor his team have ever explained on.msnbc.com/2DXiyJV”
I’m not the only one wondering how Page became one of trump’s foreign policy advisers.

Did he seriously Tweet that? Let them eat cake I guess. If she's happy, I'm happy for her, but if he's reaching if he feels that's one for the 'win' column of his tax plan. He probably realized that the secretary was being sarcastic!!! or she lost her windwall in the couch cushions and it no longer applied.

Remember when a younger Lin-Manuel Miranda showcased a new song in 2009 for Obama and Michelle. Try to imagine a new Miranda showcasing as exciting and innovative idea in the Melania/Trump White House. It beggars belief. I was actually wondering about this the other day, whether the White House was carrying on with state dinners and cultural events. I'm not surprised this has fallen by the wayside. Neither Trump nor Melania seem interested in hospitality or arts or really any of the more enjoyable bits of life in the White House.
