Monday marks the beginning of a new week for the media. What new things are we about to learn as everyone gets back to their regular work and while the boss is on a trip?
It could be verrrry interesting.
Questions to be answered:
1. Why did Rinse Prepuce return to DC from the trip right after the Saudi Speech?
2. Trump got bland, brief applause after his big "Muslim terrorism" speech. Were they just bored, or pissed?
3. Who will be in and who will be out in the West Wing?
4. Any clue about who on Trump's staff is doing that leaking?
5. Reactions in Israel?
6. What fresh Hell will the media dump on the Drumpf?

(47,209 posts)Nothing as big scoop-ish as other tweeters but I think he's been reliable- no?

(146,333 posts)What he's releasing is not as interesting as the direct leaks from Trump's staff and our federal investigative agencies. It's just not getting much attention.
I'm not criticizing him. He's working hard on this. But, he's being overshadowed by much more interesting information just now.

(146,333 posts)I do know that Bibi had to order people to show up for the brief airport ceremony. It was supposed to be a bigger deal, but it's been cut back to a perfunctory level.
I don't think Israel is really that much of a priority for the Dumpster. He's showing up there more or less as a formality, and the Israelis have put the kibosh on his dramatic helicopter landing on Masada. I don't know if he's still going to visit the Western Wall, either. Israel said he wouldn't have security support if he went there.
Perhaps he'll just fly in, spend a night at the hotel there, take a meeting or two and skedaddle off to Rome, so he can give the Pope a piece or two of his mind. Of course, he has only a piece or two of his mind, so that's all he can offer.
