hi American thread 👋🏻 the Queen secretly owning Trump discourse is like shit Christmas
Speculating on whether or not famous/powerful people are subtly owning Trump in their interactions with him is QAnon for liberals https://t.co/SKtcuComS2— Paul Blest (@pblest) June 4, 2019

WASHINGTON — Republican senators sent the White House a sharp message on Tuesday, warning that they were opposed to President Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Mexican imports, just hours after the president said lawmakers would be “foolish” to try to stop him.Mr. Trump’s latest threat — 5 percent tariffs on all goods imported from Mexico, rising to as high as 25 percent until the Mexican government stems the flow of migrants — has riled Republican senators who fear its impact on the economy and their home states. They emerged from a closed-door lunch in the Capitol angered by the briefing they received from a deputy White House counsel, Patrick F. Philbin, and Assistant Attorney General Steven A. Engel on the legal basis for imposing new tariffs by declaring a national emergency.“I want you to take a message back” to the White House, Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, told the attorneys, according to people familiar with the meeting. “You didn’t hear a single yes” from the Republican conference. He called the proposed tariffs a $30 billion tax hike on Texans.Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, said he warned the lawyers that the Senate could muster an overwhelming majority to beat back the tariffs, even if Mr. Trump were to veto a resolution disapproving them. Republicans may be broadly supportive of Mr. Trump’s push to build a wall and secure the border, he said, but they are almost uniformly opposed to the imposition of tariffs on Mexico.“The White House should be concerned about what that vote would result in, because Republicans really don’t like taxing American consumers and businesses,” Mr. Johnson said.Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, fretted, “We’re holding a gun to our own heads.”

spending this wild tuesday night checking out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_Communications_Director
am i the only one who never realized that pat buchanan was communicators director for reagan from 1985-87?
also, from april 1987 to july 2017, there was never a gap between the tenures of communications directors - one would start the day the other finished. trump has had several multi-week gaps already: 16 days between the mooch and hope hicks, almost three months between hicks and bill shine, and now almost 3 months since bill shine left.
i'm not expert, but it seems like it would be important to have a communications director.

“First of all, I didn’t know anything about it, but I’m not even sure it happened,” Trump told Piers Morgan on “Good Morning Britain.” “I hear it’s fake news. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But again, I don’t talk about John McCain unless someone asks me about it.”
oh so it didn't really happen .
