We alll need a Vacation from President Trump

It's a good thing in my oppinion that President Trump is going on vacation for seventeen days because that way we don't have to hear any more cheer leading by these trained right wing fanatics who are almost like groupies.  George W Bush sure took a lot longer August vacations than seventeen days when he was in office.  There was that Donald Trump rally held in West Virginia a few days ago, which apparently is the reddest of the red states.  It was a very pumped up crowd, if not hopefully deluded and brainwashed.  This was the rally where Trump announced that coal mining exports have taken off in West Virginia as well as the whole economy being in virtual overdrive.  This is also the rally where the Democratic governor of West Virginia announced he was turning Republican.  It was obviously an all white audience.  This is what it's going to be like.  I'll tell you what will change it all overnight.  That's when the economy folds.   We may think this recovery will go on forever and that's what President Trump is hoping.  He's hoping this Obama recovery will go on for four more years uninterrupted but history tells us things like that just don't happen.  And the minute the economy turns south so will President Trump's fortunes and democrats will start to get elected to the House and Senate.  

There is a big question about that press conference of AG Jeff Sessions and Trump's CIA chief.  We know that they will prosecute White House leakers to the fullest extent of the law.  They've trippled their anti leaking staff (Known in the Nixon administration as White House plumbers)  The big question is whether they're really going to go hard after the news reporting profession.  We already have a pretty cowed press as it is since they are afraid of offending their many corporate sponsors.  Now they've got Jeff Sessions to worry about.  This will intimidate the news profession even further.  The thing is I'm wondering whether Trump WANTED these leaks to take place because that's the sort of guy he is.  He's kind of a verbal exhibitionist after all.   I think it was pretty tacky to tell the leader of Austrailia that "This is the worst conversation I've had all morning.  I liked to talking to Putin a lot better".  Even Trump can't be that tactless, can he?  Clearly these leaks are coming from people in the inner circles of government.  It's kind of hard to believe all the leaks are coming from just one or two people. 

It's the 55th anniversary of the death of Marilyn Monroe this date of August 5th.  I hadn't yet entered puberty when she died in 1962.   Some say that Robert Kennedy had the mafia kill her.  Conspiracy theories abound.  It's just the sort of thing that happens to so many celebreties when their fortunes head south and their whole world appears to be falling apart.  They had already begun production of her next movie "Something's Got to Give".  They already did the title credits.  But other things in Marilyn's life were pretty shakey.

 This paragraph was typed Thursday.  I had Days of our Lives on.  In today’s development Trip met with his father saying that the Vitalli family doesn’t let go of grudges.  Steve knows that Trip is the one who sabotaged Kayla’s employment carrier, but Trip isn’t going to let it go at that.  I went outside for juice and a graham cracker.  I agree with Bill.  It’s hot out there.  I had the Steve Hardy show on.  They had a thing on unwelcomed house guests meaning ghosts.  There was also this very gifted eleven year old foreign looking little girl who is an amazing singer.  Then it was Eye Witness news.
