His veins are more vodka than blood.

Yeah, it's a dumb story. Of course, Trump is really advocating for humiliating Muslims somehow—the actual details aren't important.

He has no idea what to actually do. Nobody in Congress is pushing for it, and Trump doesn't understand what an infrastructure bill would even look like.

Gendry is Robert's child from a different mother.

They got lost, and can't find anybody to give them directions.

Remember that time Bannon said the infrastructure bill would supercharge the economy, creating a voting bloc that would keep them in power for over 50 years? And now Trump can't even get through a press conference on infrastructure without talking about neo-Nazis.

The collapse of the infrastructure council is hilarious. Trump and Bannon have been playing up how this $1 trillion infrastructure project will be a fantastic success, and so far it's consisted of doing nothing, creating a council that would do almost nothing, holding a press conference where Trump decided to talk…

Maybe some ISIS members are fine people.

After his equivocations on a white supremacist rally that involved a car driving through a crowd of counter-protesters, his tough talk on a ISIS attack that involved driving a van through a crowd is absurd.

International news: Big story is the van attack in Barcelona, which apparently inspired Trump's tweets about General Pershing. A van drove through a crowd of tourists, killing 13 and wounding nearly 100. ISIS has claimed responsibility. A police raid in Catalan killed four suspected of being involved in the attack.

I don't think Congress will ever break with him over something he says. If he tries to actually do something they don't like, they'll try to box him in—like McCain is basically trying to come up with a strategy for Afghanistan because Trump has dropped the ball there—but that'll largely be on a case by case basis.

Wasn't the South using guerilla tactics from like, the start of the Civil war?

I think it indicates that Trump is so toxic, he's burned through any 'respect for the office' the Presidency had (see also: the Boy Scout speech) in a way that makes it hard for them to justify any relation with his administration.

Bannon is a "yes, other races are inferior, but let's not literally murder them" racist. His foreign policy ideas have always been weird—America as an isolationist superpower. So, no military solution with North Korea, but an economic war with China.

So, does Trump make his personal lawyers weigh in on politics, or does he just have terrible lawyers? I guess it's probably both.

The CEO advisory boards collapsing is interesting, since those guys would usually seek out good relations with the government automatically. For them to be willing to burn bridges with Trump says a lot about what the risk/reward with sticking with Trump is.

Have you ever seen Washington and Lee in the same place at the same time?

The press conference was so horrible, it caused the Onion to stop doing comedy: http://www.theonion.com/gra…

Trump and Bannon have been touting plans for a massive infrastructure bill for a while now, and every time they to talk about it, it turns into a disaster. I mean, every time Trump tries to talk about anything it turns into a disaster, but I think he cares less about infrastructure than he does about healthcare,…

He said that the people protesting Robert E Lee statues might go after Washington and Jefferson because they owned slaves, too; the implication being that if Washington and Jefferson owned slaves, slavery couldn't have been that evil.
