The thin-skinned narcissist in chief again showing disrespect for the military as well as one of their best,

In the interview, Trump engaged in a tense exchange with Fox News' Chris Wallace when the host brought up McRaven, a vocal Trump critic who led the operation in 2011 during former President Barack Obama's administration.
"Bill McRaven, retired admiral, Navy Seal, 37 years, former head of US Special Operations..." Wallace started.
"Hillary Clinton fan," Trump said, cutting off Wallace."Special Operations ..." Wallace continued.
"Excuse me, Hillary Clinton fan," Trump said."Who led the operations," Wallace added, "commanded the operations that took down Saddam Hussein and that killed Osama bin Laden, says that your sentiment is the greatest threat to democracy in his lifetime," a reference to McRaven's criticisms of Trump's attacks on the media.
"OK, he's a Hilary Clinton backer and an Obama-backer, and frankly ... wouldn't it have been nice if we got Osama bin Laden a lot sooner than that? Wouldn't it have been nice? You know, living -- think of this -- living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan."​

How often can this president piss on the core values of his base without drawing criticism from them?

Trump has such an inferiority complex when it comes to Clinton and Obama. As the song says, "Let it go, let it go, let it go......"

"You know, living -- think of this -- living in Pakistan, beautifully in Pakistan."

What in the actual ****? Thats a bizzaro statement even by Trump's standards.
 
Trump tweets on Pakistan and how he warned everyone about Bin Laden years ago when he pointed him out.

"Of course we should have captured Osama Bin Laden long before we did. I pointed him out in my book just BEFORE the attack on the World Trade Center. President Clinton famously missed his shot. We paid Pakistan Billions of Dollars & they never told us he was living there. Fools!.."

"...We no longer pay Pakistan the $Billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us, Bin Laden being a prime example, Afghanistan being another. They were just one of many countries that take from the United States without giving anything in return. That’s ENDING!"

Bin Laden lived fairly comfortably in Pakistan, though he couldn't travel freely, I imagine. This is what the incoherent ass meant, I think. Bin Laden's compound was relatively comfortable (which, of course, means beautiful).

This much seems true, far as I know. Bin Laden led a reasonably comfortable life in Pakistan.

Zinke acts as Trump's yes-man:

“I will lay this on the foot of those environmental radicals that have prevented us from managing the forests for years and, you know what, this is on them,” Zinke told host Amanda House.

“The president is absolutely right. This is as much about mismanagement over time,” he continued. The mismanagement problem has been “going on for years,” said Zinke, who also blamed the Obama administration.

...

Experts have have attributed fires mostly to dry conditions from California’s record drought, high winds and climate change.

Sierra Club response:

The Sierra Club, the nation’s largest environmental group, criticized Zinke for his remarks, saying he should instead focus on recovery and the victims of the fires.

“Perhaps it’s the numerous investigations, the potential criminal charges eating at him, or the fact that he still doesn’t even know what department the Forest Service is under, but Ryan Zinke would best be served by focusing on the people rather than making disgusting and dangerous accusations,” Athan Manuel, the group’s public lands director, said in a statement.

I still don't know exactly what the angle is here, other than never letting a crisis go to waste for attacking his political enemies.

Hmmmm. I suppose. But I don't think that's Trump's idea of living beautifully. My mind actually shudders at the thought of what Trump means by living beautifully. Oh ... the horror.
 
Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails last year to White House aides, Cabinet officials and her assistants using a personal account, many of them in violation of federal records rules, according to people familiar with a White House examination of her correspondence.

White House ethics officials learned of Trump’s repeated use of personal email when reviewing emails gathered last fall by five Cabinet agencies to respond to a public records lawsuit. That review revealed that throughout much of 2017, she often discussed or relayed official White House business using a private email account with a domain that she shares with her husband, Jared Kushner.

The discovery alarmed some advisers to President Trump, who feared that his daughter’s practices bore similarities to the personal email use of Hillary Clinton, an issue he made a focus of his 2016 campaign. Trump attacked his Democratic challenger as untrustworthy and dubbed her “Crooked Hillary” for using a personal email account as secretary of state.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner is now a safe space:

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) on Monday announced its decision to tap Ron Chernow, an award-winning biographer of historic American figures, as its featured speaker for its annual dinner party next year.

"As we celebrate the importance of a free and independents news media to the health of the republic, I look forward to hearing Ron place this unusual moment in the context of American history," said WHCA president Olivier Knox.

The decision to pick Chernow marks the end of a longstanding tradition of hosting a comedian to lead a light-hearted roast of the sitting president. While former presidents have traditionally attended the press dinner, President Donald Trump has skipped out on the event since assuming office.

Just read about Trump's attack on Admiral MCRaven

As a veteran, all I can say is FU Donald.
Mcraven served for 37 years in the Navy, most of it as a Navy SEAL..one of the most dangerous branches of the Military. Trump ,despite his rhetoric,does not give a damn about the military except as a photo op.
