Capitol and Cathedral
Continued pettiness and disdain toward private citizens:
It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence – IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..

…LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!

Not sure what he thinks this has to do with him… Is he claiming credit for on-time arrivals?
51 Million American to travel this weekend – highest number in twelve years (AAA). Traffic and airports are running very smoothly! @FoxNews

Praise for Sean Hannity, one of the most obnoxious hacks to pollute our public discourse over the past 15 years:
A great guy (with great ratings)! https://t.co/S0S6xqrjSC

Barely veiled racist anger toward (mostly black) men who dare to protest racism:
Can you believe that the disrespect for our Country, our Flag, our Anthem continues without penalty to the players. The Commissioner has lost control of the hemorrhaging league. Players are the boss! https://t.co/udXP5MR8BC

Tamping down expectations for when someone else is named TIME’s Person of the Year. (Take a look at Adrienne LaFrance’s excellent article at The Atlantic on this particular Trump obsession.)
Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

He clearly has no idea how problematic some financial institutions’ “public service” has been.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, has been a total disaster as run by the previous Administrations pick. Financial Institutions have been devastated and unable to properly serve the public. We will bring it back to life!

Insulting an American news organization whose employees do fine work all around the world:
.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!

An unprovoked attack on a Democratic candidate who prosecuted racist killers. Also a note of support for a Republican candidate who was twice removed from office, espouses virulently homophobic views, and only weakly denies accusations that he committed sex crimes against underage teenage girls.
The last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate is a Schumer/Pelosi puppet who is WEAK on Crime, WEAK on the Border, Bad for our Military and our great Vets, Bad for our 2nd Amendment, AND WANTS TO RAISES TAXES TO THE SKY. Jones would be a disaster!

And somehow, there’s still a statement from the president that reveals a sentiment even uglier and more brazen than the ones listed here.
Check out the president’s most obnoxious tweet of the weekend.
