Trump has already sent 6 tweets before 7:30 am today... They're unfocused, repetitive and mostly very childish. Take a look at those tweets from the last hour and tell me that's a "very stable genius". lol

Is checking Trump's Twitter account part of your daily routine so you can find something to be outraged over?

If they were there over the winter, I'd suggest going to Bastogne for the Battle of the Bulge memorial they do. There is a march done around the perimeter of Bastogne where the Allied lines were.

Yes, I got into the military history when I was there lol

Indeed. Also the American Cemetery in Luxembourg, Patton is buried there.

Damned if he did, damned if he doesn't. Only Democrats would be happy a peace process isn't moving forward.

Kim Jong Un 'Must Be Having a Giggle Fit': Pelosi, Dems Mock Trump for Pulling Out of Summit | Fox News Insider

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic lawmakers roundly mocked President Trump for pulling out of a planned face-to-face meeting with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un.

In a letter addressed to Kim, Trump said the June 12 summit in Singapore would be "inappropriate," pointing to "hostility" from Pyongyang in recent weeks.

Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during her weekly press conference that Trump's decision to cancel the meeting is a "good thing" for Kim.

“He got global recognition and regard. He’s the big winner. And when he got this letter from the president saying, ‘OK, never mind,’ he must be having a giggle fit right now in North Korea,” Pelosi said.

Meantime, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) tweeted that the Nobel Peace Prize some speculated Trump could receive for helping denuclearize the Korean Peninsula "will have to wait."

I saw this stat on Politico:

In just under 500 days in office, Trump has sent a little over 3,000 tweets. That is about 1 tweet every 4 hours. Holy s***!

Sounds like he's slowing down. I'd say it's hard to send Tweets while trying to make birdie on that 11th green.

But, if he's like most golfers and misses that putt, he'd have some real choice words and it's likely a good thing he isn't Tweeting.

Speaking of Twitter. SIAP.

Trump can'''t block users from his Twitter feed, federal judge rules

President Donald Trump cannot block Twitter users for the political views they have expressed, a federal judge in Manhattan ruled on Wednesday.

Blocking users from viewing his Twitter account — a feature offered by the social media platform — is unconstitutional and a violation of the First Amendment, Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald wrote in her ruling.

"While we must recognize, and are sensitive to, the President’s personal First Amendment rights, he cannot exercise those rights in a way that infringes the corresponding First Amendment rights of those who have criticized him," Buchwald wrote.

The government had argued that blocked individuals could still access the president’s tweets. The judge agreed but said that even considering the president's First Amendment rights, preventing users from interacting directly with him on Twitter represented a violation of a "real, albeit narrow, slice of speech."

So, another politician cannot block a white supremacist poster on Twitter if they desire. Regardless of the content.

I'm sure this was all above board and involves no conflict of interest at all but...

Per Quartz.com:

"Ivanka Trump received valuable trademarks from China just before Donald Trump's ZTE reversal" by By Tim Fernholz / May 28, 2018

In the week before President Donald Trump reversed his own administration's policy of prohibiting U.S. companies from selling Chinese telecom manufacturer, ZTE, the parts needed to assemble its products as punishment for being caught selling them to Iran, the Chinese government awarded five new trademarks to Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump. Two more were awarded afterward. Experts told the New York Times that the trademark process, which began with Ivanka Trump's application in 2017 moved unusually quickly.

On May 25th, the White House announced that a deal had been reached for ZTE to stay open (it was on the verge of bankruptcy before Trump lifted the U.S. sanctions), separate from broader trade talks in which Trump is (supposedly) pushing China toward as-yet-to-materialize concessions. Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer said such a deal "would be a huge victory for President Xi, and a dramatic retreat by President Trump," and Republicans such as Marco Rubio are making similar arguments.

Ivanka Trump's trademarks, which she applied for after her father was elected, will allow her to profit off branded goods and prevent impersonators from profiting from her celebrity in China. Between ZTE receiving it's fine and Trump's reversal, a Chinese state-owned corporation announced a $500 million loan package for a theme park in a Trump-branded real estate development.

I wont get into what other politicians do. We should have standards for the President and Trump isn't meeting them. He and his family are blatantly trying to enrich themselves through his Presidency and it is leading to some pretty gross conflicts of interest. ZTE was caught selling their products to Iran - who Trump himself, insists should be further sanctioned. A week before the sanctions against ZTE were lifted, Trump's daughter was granted some valuable trademarks by the Chinese government. That is a cut and dry conflict of interest.

This is what I have come to expect from the conservatives here... you can't defend it, so it leaves one of 3 things:

1) Deflect. Talk about Obama, Hillary, Bill, Schumer, Pelosi.

2) Use the tired, boring, worn out cliche "Can we impeach him for this?" This is an attempt at minimizing the act itself in a very flippant manner.

3) Pretend it's just politics as usual... and that makes it okay... even though no similar acts are ever cited.

1) I don't think they're talking about Obama as much as they are talking about you guys who didn't give a dose of prune juice about this when it was your politicians doing it.

2) Well, can you? I think the point is that ya'll are looking for any excuse possible to oust him. Will this work? Will it even delegitimize him? We both know it won't.

i.e. If you cared about the profiteering and conflicts of interest, you'd have cared about it when your people were doing it. So, we all know you don't really care about the acts; just the people. Let's all just start being VERY honest about all that, and you guys can start hoarding your fake outrage for a later time.

3) See point 1 response. It is politics as usual. We're touched you guys finally developed a conscience when it's your enemy in charge.

My response. If he's changing policy for his own benefit, it's despicable and he needs to stop. He needs to set a new norm for US politics and he has a perfect opportunity,
