Today's Bad News for Donald Trump
So many people, including Republicans, have said it's wrong for Trump to host next year's G-7 meeting at a hotel he owns that he's been forced to reverse that decision. And it's always bad news for Trump when anybody tells him he can't do any damned thing he wants. It's almost like "What's the point of being president if I can't be an absolute despot and always get my way?"
Today's Bad News for Rudy Giuliani
Rudy seems to have taken a day off as he tries to decide (a) whether or not to go on one or more of the Sunday morning talk shows tomorrow, (b) if so, which one? and (c) what self-incriminating thing will he blurt out as part of his "defense?" I'm guessing (a) if it's at all possible, (b) all of them and (c) "Was I in on the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby? Of course I was!"
Today's Outrage by Donald Trump
And here we have another quid pro quo: Josh Marshall reports, "Notorious Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash would help Rudy and DiGenova and Toensing cook up dirt on Joe Biden. In return, they'd work with Trump to get U.S. corruption charges against Firtash tossed. Firtash has been fighting extradition to the US on federal corruption charges since 2014." Everything's a deal.
