Did you see the rest of the photo, with Melania and Ivanka dressed as widow and bereaved daughter? A little wishful thinking?


This one?

That one works, too.

Interesting who's the only one smiling, is it not?

But all joking and serious Trump-bashing aside, what's with the widow get up and black veils? I don't think it's a Catholic thing, and black veils strike me more as Byzantine Orthodox anyway.

Here's some good news(*) for Golden Boy: The people who somewhat disapprove of him number only 11.6%.

Here's some bad news for Golden Boy: The people who strongly disapprove of him number 44.1%.

And here's some really bad news for Golden Boy: The people who strongly approve of him number 21.4%. That's down from 29% in March.

So you see, his support is lukewarm and confined to "his" party. The opposition is on fire and spread among Democrats, Republicans and Independents.



(*) You really thought I'd give him good news?

Trump’s base seems to be eroding. There’s been a considerable decline in the number of Americans who strongly approve of Trump, from a peak of around 30 percent in February to just 21 or 22 percent of the electorate now. (The decline in Trump’s strong approval ratings is larger than the overall decline in his approval ratings, in fact.) Far from having unconditional love from his base, Trump has already lost almost a third of his strong support. And voters who strongly disapprove of Trump outnumber those who strongly approve of him by about a 2-to-1 ratio, which could presage an “enthusiasm gap” that works against Trump at the midterms. The data suggests, in particular, that the GOP’s initial attempt (and failure) in March to pass its unpopular health care bill may have cost Trump with his core supporters.

These estimates come from the collection of polls we use for FiveThirtyEight’s approval ratings tracker.

It's hard to believe that even Trump is this cruel to a key White House staffer. Is it possible that Sean Spicer is pissed enough that he could get some retribution against Trump? This question is especially relevant if Trump proceeds to fire him, as has been the rumor for over a week.

Perhaps Spicer will write a nasty tell-all book about the Trump White House.

Really sad and shows that Trump does not understand the military

True!

Wouldn't it be awesome for Trump to sue his former spokesman for violating the NDA? Spicer just needs assurances from the book publisher that they'll cover the legal fees. The publicity from the lawsuit would be free advertising to sell the book!
