Subject: In-town Pool #2 Trump on Mueller/investigations

Trump walked out to Marine One around 9:45 am. He answered a few questions on the Mueller report, Democrats/Israel, and congressional investigations.

“I have no idea about the Mueller report,” he said asked about timing.

He said he has a “lot of meetings” this weekend. Briefly mentioned progress with China. “Lot of very important things are happening.”

He also said the Democrats are anti-Israel.

“I don’t know what happened to them but they are anti Israel. frankly, i think they are anti Jews”

On congressional investigations and whether he is asking staff not to comply, he said: “This is a continuation of the same witch hunt

They ought to go to work.. get a lot of things done instead of wasting everybody’s time.”

Before the president walked out of the White House, an aide (your pooler and reporters here were unable to identify him) dropped off a hefty stack of newspapers inside Marine One.

Trump boarded Marine One at 9:48 am. It took off from the South Lawn at 9:51.

Will listen to audio and try to send more. Obviously, it was very hard to hear. Handing off to our-of-town pooler!

John McCain Was an Honorable, Patriotic, Super-Duper American

This is my favorite thoughtcrime. Maybe my all-time favorite. Why? Because I’m old enough to remember when the media told me McCain was an old, white, racist, womanizing, corrupt war criminal. But that was back in ’08 when he was the only thing between a Democrat and the White House.

Today, however, he is St. John McCain.

Alexandria Ocasio-Crazy can trash the late Ronald Reagan all she wants with no repercussions, but President Trump criticizing McCain’s dishonorable role in a number of dishonorable acts — why you’d think Trump was hiring Russian hookers to pee on a bed Obama slept in, or something. And it goes like this…

John McCain was one of the greatest and most honorable Americans who ever lived.

Ten years ago you told me he was a racist war criminal.

Ten years ago you voted for him.

Because my only other choice was socialist who hung out with domestic terrorists.

Shame on you. John McCain was a war hero.

Yes, he was a war hero, but even war heroes can grow into bitter, dishonest, and petty old men — and that is what happened to John McCain.

You’re only saying that to side with Trump.

I’ve despised John McCain since the aughts, since he constantly undermined President George W. Bush as payback for losing the 2000 primary and as a means to seek favor with the establishment media because he knew he would run for president again in 2008. John McCain was a preening, narcissistic peacock 15 years before he launched this feud with Trump. And yes, he did launch this feud with Trump. McCain started it.

John McCain was honorable to the end.

He wasn’t all bad, but he was one of the Keating Five and his fascist attempt to protect incumbency by criminalizing political speech through the McCain-Feingold Act is the most un-American pieces of legislation passed in the last 50 years. What’s more, his neurotic and narcissistic need to be seen as “honorable” resulted in him suspending his presidential campaign — the single most dumbest thing I have ever witnessed.

How dare you speak the truth about an honorable man!

Tell me what’s honorable about giving your word to voters over the course of a decade about repealing Obamacare and then breaking your word so you can bathe in a news-cycle? What’s honorable about attacking the powerless or planning your own never-ending funeral, a funeral longer than a presidential funeral, and premising it on your own spite? What’s honorable about never letting go of grudges? What’s honorable about trying to make Hillary Clinton president by spreading a dossier filled with lies to your pals in the media? McCain is dead, yes, but he died a petty, grasping, dishonest, backstabbing old man.
