Donald Trump Blames SEAL’s Death On Military: ‘They Lost Ryan’
Asked about the matter during an interview with Fox News’ “Fox ‘n’ Friends,” Trump repeatedly said “they” were responsible for the outcome of the mission, in reference to the military.
“This was a mission that was started before I got here. This was something they wanted to do,” he said. “They came to me, they explained what they wanted to do ― the generals ― who are very respected, my generals are the most respected that we’ve had in many decades, I believe. And they lost Ryan. [source]

Betsy DeVos-- as clueless as we suspected.

The statement called historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) “real pioneers when it comes to school choice,” and came shortly after President Donald Trump held a meeting with several HBCU leaders on Monday. [source]

Earlier this week, Priebus called reports of the contact between Trump’s associates and Russian officials “total baloney.” In a separate interview, he said intelligence officials “assured” him the stories were inaccurate. 

“The top levels of the intelligence community have assured me that that story is not only inaccurate, but it’s grossly overstated and it was wrong. And there’s nothing to it,” he told Fox News

An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment on the reports. A White House spokeswoman did not return a request for comment.

Do you suppose young Donald learned the techniques 
for pleasing dealing with Mr. Putin from these two?

Is he more Chicken Little, or more Little Boy Who Cried Wolf ?

An 'Alternative Theory'

Although the evidence is incomplete,
With multiple symptoms, he is replete.
So when his plane lands
It's why all the bands
Greet him, playing: Hail to the Spirochete.

It was more Norma Desmond than Norman Vincent Peale, the Trump family pastor who wrote “The Power of Positive Thinking” and influenced Donald’s thinking as a child.

Remember a simpler time when we were appalled because the President pronounced it 'nuke-u-ler'?

"It is good. We had Hillary Clinton try to do a reset. We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20% of the uranium in our country. You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.
But nobody talks about that. I did not do anything for Russia. I've done nothing for Russia. Hillary Clinton gave them 20% of our uranium. Hillary Clinton did a reset, remember with the stupid plastic button that made us all look like a bunch of jerks?"

Rats strapping on life jackets!
