5. I think they had planned it, and he really enjoyed publicly threatening NK last week.

If the presser they were planning for Monday was about China and trade, as it apparently was, then I believe Trump was looking forward to talking tough again.

Until he realized the questions would be about white supremacists.

He doesn't have anything to brag about and God forbid he actually faces the music for Charlottesville. He ran away like he did Saturday when they wanted to ask questions.

He is desperate for distraction maybe more threats to Argentina (as if he really cares about civil rights;people) or perhaps Cuba is next on list of dictators to agitate, provoke.

He needs more distractions, bigger distractions as Muellar is at his heels, correction Muellar has advanced 5 moves ahead of the liar-in-chief... and folks its checkmate! Eiltrumpf knows his time is up, besides doesn't he have a deposition or hearing to attend tomorrow, one of many lawsuits filed against him.
