Trump is distraction overdrive today

Trump: 'Why was there the Civil War?'

Trump: 'I'm open to direct talks with Kim Jong Un, I'd would be honored to meet him.'

Trump says claims that Obama wiretapped him have been 'proven very strongly

est ... est ... est.

order popcorn, watch Rachel, check DU several times a day. If it weren't awful it would be sort of fun. But I just keep in mind, this is reality tv. Stay tuned....

What's disturbing though is that his followers believe his BS and lies, while disregarding real news of what's going on as just fake news.

to try to make us look somewhere else, it is a sure sign he knows something bad for him is about to break. It is a tell for him. Like a person playing poker.....this is trump's go to strategy. Distract with nonsense or BS. Bluff ..... I actually hope that is true...that something big is coming this week. We have been hanging on, waiting for something significant to hit the news. Let it be soon!
