Trump almost had a stroke when spicer wore an I'll fitting suit and no pocket square for his first press briefing.

This will trigger him also.

That's shocking since Trump seems to wear suits that are ill fitting...and ties that are too long.

They have to hold the foreskin back.

[houndawg]

Well, when Spicer looks down at it, it's right side up

But, according to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it.

Well, my only quibble with that is that you obviously CAN con people. That's why we're where we are right now.

Guy can't even sign an executive order without fucking it up.

Trump gets flustered at the announcement of executive order and forgets to sign it.

Pence scoops it up and hurries off after him.

Trump drops Steve Bannon from National Security Council

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-t ... SKBN17724S

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday withdrew his chief strategist, Steve Bannon, from the National Security Council on Wednesday after it was decided he was no longer needed on the key foreign policy group, a senior White House official said.

Bannon's removal from the NSC, which includes senior members of Trump's foreign policy team, was seen as a boost to national security adviser H.R. McMaster, who officials said has struggled to work together with Bannon.

A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Bannon's presence on the NSC was no longer needed after the departure of Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn.

Flynn was forced to resign in February over his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the United States, Sergei Kisylak, prior to Trump's taking office on Jan. 20.

The official said Bannon had been placed on the NSC originally as a check on Flynn and had only ever attended one of the NSC's regular meetings.

Part of the Flynn / Bannon vs. Kushner / Priebus powerstruggle that's been going on since the beginning.



From yesterday:

During a segment on InfoWars today, Roger Stone, who was previously an adviser during the early months of President Trump’s campaign, claimed to host Alex Jones that Trump’s own son-in-law Jared Kushner was leaking information to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.

“Jared Kushner, perhaps the one presidential aide who cannot be fired, is now in regular text message communications with Joe Scarborough,” Stone claimed. “Many of the anti-Steve Bannon stories that you see, the themes that you see on Morning Joe, are being dictated by Kushner. And while Mr. Kushner’s plate is very full with Middle Eastern peace and the China visit, and so on, in this case I think he is disserving the president.”

That's what I thought.

[Skjellyfetti]

And, why would you appoint a National Security Advisor... who needed a check.

While at the same time demoting the CIA Director, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs? They'd probably be better checks on Flynn than Bannon... so, why fucking put Flynn in that position in the first place?

Okay then. Anxiously waiting for Trump to man up and fix what Obama couldn't.

President Donald Trump said that the attack in Syria on Tuesday "crossed a lot of lines for me."

His comments came during a joint press conference with Jordanian King Abdullah II that began with Trump condemning the "heinous actions" that left at least 72 people dead.

Trump was asked if the attacks crossed a red line for him, a reference to former President Barack Obama's 2012 threat that the use of chemical weapons would be seen as doing so.

"It crossed a lot of lines for me. When you kill innocent children, innocent babies, little babies, with a chemical gas that is so lethal, people were shocked to hear what gas it was, that crosses many, many lines, beyond a red line, many, many lines," he said.

This was really really bad. That gas, is so bad. It's bad, believe me. I saw the pictures, it was like, totally, really bad stuff. It gets on my pet peeves.

"Private Sector Reports Stronger-Than-Expected Boost to Payrolls in March
Private payrolls across the nation rose by 263,000 last month

Private-sector hiring this year remained strong as employers reported adding more workers to their payrolls in March than expected, according to a report released Wednesday.

Private payrolls across the nation rose by 263,000 last month, said payroll processor Automatic Data Processing Inc. and forecasting firm Moody’s Analytics. This was much better than a gain of 180,000 expected by economists polled by The Wall Street Journal. In February, ADP’s report showed the private-sector added 298,000 jobs. The report is based on data collected from ADP clients in addition to lagged behind government figures.

“The gains are broad based but most notable in the goods producing side of the economy including construction, manufacturing and mining,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics.

Goods-producing industries, which include construction and manufacturing, added 82,000 jobs. Meanwhile, service-providing sectors such as hospitality added 181,000 jobs in March.

Most of the job gains came from small businesses, defined by ADP as companies with 49 or fewer employees. These firms added 118,000 jobs. Midsize firms with 50 to 499 employees added 100,000 workers, while large businesses added 45,000.

“Consumer dependent industries including health care, leisure and hospitality, and trade had strong growth during the month,” said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and co-head of the ADP Research Institute.

The Labor Department’s job report for March is expected on Friday. Economists surveyed by the Journal expect employers to have added 175,000 nonfarm jobs."
