That is about the ony thing except shooting a missle that could capture news focus...
If he felt threatened about something coming from Mueller...
I'd be all in favor of this, too - Trump could just resign, head down to Mar-a-Lago, eat McDonald's and two scoops of ice cream on top of chocolate cake and tweet and golf to his little black heart's content for the rest of his days. I'd cheer him on, in fact.

Melania could retreat to Trump Tower, with that handsome security guard conveniently next door at Tiffany's.

Barron? Poor kid...maybe sister Tiffany could take him under her wing. Meanwhile, Ivanka's kids may wind up with Grandma Ivanna...

POTUS again has lied in today's tweets. New day same POTUS. All to deflect from his Russia problem.

You may be on to something here.

According to Politico, Miller and conservative lawmakers have been trying to convince Trump to veto because this could be their last shot to fund Trump's wall if Democrats take over the House in November.

I've been telling my sister for months that I thought that Ivanna was going to be getting Ivanka's kids soon.

"diGenova's role was to engage with the media and actively defend the President."

However, there are still several issues to be resolved before he is hired on.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/23/polit...eam/index.html

One is that reportedly Trump is still not convinced they are the right for the team.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewi...oin-legal-team

He's a Fox pundit who promotes nutty conspiracy theories and appears skeevy as all get out, but he's willing to take the job. What more does Trump want?

This has been quite the week.

Trump toyed around about signing the budget bill. Signed, but said this is the last time. Then launched another attack against transgendered people in the military. This does not appear to be pacifying his goblin army.

Tillerson and McMasters were fired.

Dowd left. Unclear whether DiGenova or his wife will remain.

Trump's daughter has a man-pedi with the governor of Iowa.

Trump's son-in-law is accused of passing classified intel to the Saudis.

That might explain this:

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner returned home Saturday from an unannounced visit to Saudi Arabia — his third trip to the country this year.

Good times.
An Arkansas cousin tells me that the soybean tariff is likely to also lead to the closing of local processing plants and resulting job losses.

Lots of unforeseen consequences to these ill-considered tariffs.
