Holden Caulfield in the Cabinet Room
Trump is currently busy pissing on the Constitution in public.
Even after reversing his decision to hold the June G7 summit at his Florida resort, Trump is still insisting that the property would have been the best place for the multi-nation event.
Reuters White House reporter tweets:
.@realDonaldTrump says during White House cabinet meeting that the G7 at his Doral resort would have been the greatest G7 ever, Democrats went crazy about that plan even though he would have done it for free. (Trump announced Saturday he would no longer hold the G7 at Doral.)
The Guardian continues:
The president is blaming Democrats for forcing his hand on the issue, but a number of reports have surfaced that Trump only changed his mind after hearing frustration from congressional Republicans about having to defend the decision.
But wait! That’s not the pissing on the Constitution part! That came a few minutes later:
Taking questions from reporters about his canceled plans to hold the June G7 summit at his Florida resort, Trump appeared dismissive of a constitutional clause forbidding federal officeholders from accepting gifts from foreign states.
The president said, according to the pool report: “You people with this phony Emoluments Clause.”
That’s it! That’s the pissing part. Trump calling a clause of the Constitution he swore a solemn public ceremonial oath to protect and defend, “phony.”
James Madison was a Democrat, after all (technically a Democrat-Republican; dude couldn’t make up his mind).
And Alexander Hamilton! I bet Trump prefers Founding Fathers who don’t get shot.
Colin Day, only cowardly founding fathers get shot. It’s the brave and manly founding fathers that don’t get shot.
