yep, 84% Repug approval
Couple of lawyers on CNN said this is clear obstruction of justice and impeachment should no longer be off the table provided the memo goes public and it's clear Trump actually said those words that are being reported.
I wrote ‘The Art of the Deal’ with Trump. His self-sabotage is rooted in his past.
Why does Donald Trump behave in the dangerous and seemingly self-destructive ways he does?
Early on, I recognized that Trump’s sense of self-worth is forever at risk. When he feels aggrieved, he reacts impulsively and defensively, constructing a self-justifying story that doesn’t depend on facts and always directs the blame to others.
Trump felt compelled to go to war with the world. It was a binary, zero-sum choice for him: You either dominated or you submitted. You either created and exploited fear or you suc bed to it — as he thought his older brother had. This narrow, defensive worldview took hold at a very early age, and it never evolved. “When I look at myself today and I look at myself in the first grade,” he told a recent biographer, “I’m basically the same.” His development essentially ended in early childhood.
he made it clear to me that he treated every encounter as a contest he had to win, because the only other option from his perspective was to lose, and that was the equivalent of obliteration. Many of the deals in “The Art of the Deal” were massive failures — among them the casinos he owned and the launch of a league to rival the National Football League — but Trump had me describe each of them as huge successes.

‘He is our disgrace’: Internet disgusted after Trump whines about media treatment in Coast Guard speech
Prresident Donald Trump on Wednesday used an address to the United States Coast Guard Academy to once again vent his frustrations with negative media coverage.“
No politician in history has been treated worse or more unfairly,” Trump said of himself during his address, which ended with him imploring Coast Guard cadets to “enjoy your life — good luck.”
Reaction on the internet to Trump’s complaints about unfair treatment was swift and brutal,
as both liberals and conservatives slammed Trump for bringing his own personal grievances to a speech that was supposed to be about the Coast Guard.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...-idUSKCN18D0C7Conversations with some officials who have briefed Trump and others who are aware of how he absorbs information portray a president with a short attention span.
He likes single-page memos and visual aids like maps, charts, graphs and photos.
National Security Council officials have strategically included Trump's name in "as many paragraphs as we can because he keeps reading if he's mentioned," according to one source, who relayed conversations he had with NSC officials.

Scary: Trump aides 'fear' leaving him alone in meetings, he's too daft to understand intelligence
The more this White House leaks, the scarier it gets. The New York Times is now reporting some absolutely frightening tidbits from inside Trumpworld that should frighten all of us.
Trump's aides won’t leave him alone with foreign leaders because they’re afraid of what he might say or divulge.
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.
Naturally, Trump doesn’t like being corrected or diverted (even if he’s about to cause an international incident) and
has called McMaster “a pain.”
Also, Trump isn't sophisticated enough to pick up "granular details" about intelligence.
In private, three administration officials conceded that they could not publicly articulate their most compelling — and honest — defense of the president:
that Mr. Trump, a hasty and indifferent reader of printed briefing materials,
simply did not possess the interest or knowledge of the granular details of intelligence gathering to leak specific sources and methods of intelligence gathering that would do harm to United States allies.
Sorry, but how does “he’s too daft to do it intentionally” work as a defense?

Conservative David Brooks writes best 'infantalist' Trump take down to date
I had to explore New York Times Columnist David Brooks new op-ed that got to the core or rather the lack thereof in his op-ed this morning about Donald Trump. His words were not mean spirited and in so doing was that more palatable to most, even as piercingly honest and destructive as it is. We need objective Trump narratives of this type spread widely.
David Brooks has a way with words even when I disagree with him for ideological reasons. He has an ideology, but he is not ideological as evidenced his Trump take down.
Brooks starts his article by assuaging the fears that Trump was "a budding authoritarian, a corrupt Nixon, a rabble-rousing populist, or a big business corporatist," by pointing out that
"At base, Trump is an infantalist" which means he is incapable of having those attributes in any realistic fashion. He points out that most adults have 'sort of' figured out three tasks by the time they are 25.
The first, how to sit still.
The second, a sense of themselves.
And the third, a perception of how others are thinking. (Boutons b/g: German study says this starts at age 4)
Brooks said that Trump mastered none of them,
Brooks slams Trump's level of maturity. We must remember that this is the world 'leader' who has the nuclear codes.
Mentally, Trump is still a 7-year-old boy who is bouncing around the classroom. Trump’s answers in these interviews are not very long — 200 words at the high end — but
he will typically flit through four or five topics before ending up with how unfair the press is to him.
He points out that the president has no ability to focus or impulse control.
His inability to focus his attention makes it hard for him to learn and master facts.
He is ill informed about his own policies and
tramples his own talking points.
It makes it hard to control his mouth.
On an impulse, he will promise a tax reform when his staff has done little of the actual work.
He describes Trump's damaging level of insecurity.
Trump seems to need perpetual outside approval to stabilize his sense of self,
so he is perpetually desperate for approval,
telling heroic fabulist tales about himself. ...
He wants people to love him, so he is constantly telling interviewers that he is widely loved.
In Trump’s telling, every meeting was scheduled for 15 minutes but his guests stayed two hours because they liked him so much.
But the most dangerous attribute Trump has is his inability to know what he does not know.
He is thus the all-time record-holder of the Dunning-Kruger effect, the phenomenon in which
the incompetent person is too incompetent to understand his own incompetence.
David Brooks points out that the Trump's most recent screw-up, revealing classified information to the Russians, was not necessarily the case that the American president is a Russian agent, but instead because of the attributes mentioned above.
He did it because he is sloppy,
because he lacks all impulse control, and
above all because he is a 7-year-old boy desperate for the approval of those he admires.
Brooks point out that
"there is perpetually less to Trump than it appears"
which means one should not try to analyze what big scheme or machinations are driving the president's actions or policies.
Trump’s statements don’t necessarily come from anywhere, lead anywhere or have a permanent reality beyond his wish to be liked at any given instant.
We’ve got this perverse situation in which the
vast analytic powers of the entire world are being spent trying to understand a guy whose thoughts are often just six fireflies beeping randomly in a jar.
David then quotes Vox's, David Roberts.http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/5...e-down-to-date
We badly want to understand Trump, to grasp him. It might give us some sense of control, or at least an ability to predict what he will do next.
But what if there’s nothing to understand? What if there’s no there, there?
ouch!

Trump biographer: ‘Entirely predictable’ scandals show president is a ‘clear and present danger’
David Cay Johnston penned a scathing editorial published Wednesday at The Daily Beast in which he called the former reality TV game show host a “clear and present danger” to the United States who is “contemptuous of the Cons ution, compromised by the Russians and willing to try any lie to hang onto power.”
“Recklessly firing FBI Director Jim Comey eliminated any remaining doubt: Donald Trump and his administration cannot be trusted to have any role in investigating his and his entourage’s relationship with Russia and Russians. Yet he is about to seize control of that probe, while the
Republican-controlled Congress acts less like a coequal branch of government and more like a White House subsidiary,” Johnston wrote.
He continued, “Compounding this, the White House’s efforts Monday to deceive the American public about the president giving Russia super-secret intelligence only add to the reasons to distrust his competence, integrity and, indeed, suspect his loyalty.”
The past week has seen the White House plunged into chaos as Trump systematically undercut his subordinates’ messaging only to have Comey announce on Tuesday that he has kept detailed records of his and Trump’s conversations, particularly when the ousted FBI director believed he was being pushed into a politically compromising position.
Johnston also noted Trump only fired Mike Flynn — who he knew was a paid agent of Russia and Turkey — after Flynn’s duplicity was exposed by the Washington Post.
“Take a moment to let that sink in:
Donald Trump’s national security adviser was a paid agent of a foreign government.
And while
that government was Turkey, the money came from a Russian oligarch,
Putin’s Russia Today propaganda television operation also paid Flynn handsomely,” he said.
“Trump, keep in mind, has pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars from real estate deals with Russians. Yet he insists any mention of him and Russia is fake news,” wrote Johnston.
It’s clear, he wrote, that “America has a president who is
contemptuous of the Cons ution,
compromised by the Russians and
willing to try any lie to hang onto power.”

Thanks, all y'all IGNORANT S who vote Repug and who elected Trash.
Does anyone except Beau even read this thread anymore?
I find it fascinating that Trump has both a messiah and a self-pitty complex. It seems impossible but he does.
