Merkel, who has her own challenges at home, likely wants the path of least resistance with Trump/U.S.  She can't waste time fighting small battles with Trump. It is unlikely that she'll ever consider Trump an actual "friend" in the true sense of the word, but she is a pragmatist, if nothing else.

 

 

Speaking of cases where the media colluded to put a good face on the worst of humanity, this memorial museum on lynching is really causing a reckoning that is now reaching the media.

 

A Lynching Memorial Forces a Reckoning for a Nation, and a Newspaper

 

“We proliferated that idea of white supremacy,” said Mr. Krift, who has been the executive editor for nearly two years.

 

 

If it wasn't clear, I was being sarcastic.

It was more about the tone of the article that made it seem as though Trump now 'owns'  Merkel somehow.  Just this morning I read about how Merkel, Marcron and May met over the weekend to discuss possible retaliatory measures against the U.S. should the new tariffs take effect. Those exemptions are due to expire soon, according to what I've read.

 

On another note, supposedly WH Chief of Staff John Kelly called Trump an idiot (again) but wasn't it part of Kelly's job to get the idiot to gather himself and get some discipline?

Ugh.  I see what you mean. My take away was basically he is alienating all of our allies.  The way Merkel was described as basically looking away while he talked, wow. . Not that I blame her, but she must really disdain him to show it so openly.

I thought the title of the article was misleading compared to the article itself, which I thought was even enough in showing how distant he was with her and how she had to go along through no other options.

 

I hadn't even read about this until you mentioned it but it looks like the exemptions do expire very soon. And Wilbur Ross, who went on TV with a can of Coke and supposedly falls asleep during meetings, is negotiating for us? 

 

It's just like you and others have said - this is just more uncertainty on every level that will make other countries reluctant to do anything with Trump (and in the long run, the US), benefiting countries like China. 

 

(I do have to laugh at the image of Theresa May trying to get tough and clinging to the EU)

On another topic, it looks like media darling Marco, weather vane as always, is now posturing against the tax cuts he voted for.

About that list that the NYT claims to have obtained from Mueller, there is a dissenting opinion from a man who was once on Nixon's legal team.

In case it hasn't already abundantly clear, we are currently in Bizarro Land with this crazed administration.

Why would they need the man's medical records in the first place?  Didn't Dr. Ronny Howard Jackson release his own report on Trump, saying he was a magnificent pagan beast (or something like that)?  WHAT ARE YOU HIDING, MR. PRESIDENT?

Now Harold Borstein (honestly, his medical license should be revoked) admits that he didn't write that letter that basically called Trump a perfect specimen.

The one thing that Trump is truly adept at is smashing others' careers.  Everybody around him will soon be completely unemployable.

Sorry if this was already posted, but it looks like a lot of the internal issues with Jackson started with his involvement with Mike Pence's wife and family doctor (nothing salacious - he just apparently got too involved with a medical issue involving her, which I have to admit would piss me off too). I wonder if any of his 'people' are the reason there were so many leaks against Jackson.
