30 Years Ago, Two Young Strategists Cracked How to Beat a Guy Like Trump. Are Democrats Ready to Listen? https://t.co/GB6IAkLYS5

BREAKING: Melania Trump's true feelings about her husband and his legal problems leak. According to the The New York Times she was "livid" about the E. Jean Carroll case — but for the worst reasons possible.

Apparently, Melania wasn't upset with Trump because she believed that the lifelong admitted sexual predator had actually raped and assaulted Carroll, she was mad that his legal team didn't raise more objections to her claims.

Proving that she is every bit as bad as the man she chose to marry, Melania was "particularly skeptical" of Carroll and her accusations, and couldn't believe that she was unable to remember the exact date of the attack. It's not uncommon for the victims of sexual abuse to forget such details.

Melania clearly only saw Carroll's horrifying ideal first and foremost as something that affected her, her husband, and the reputation around her marriage. She is utterly self-centered.

This revelation is truly disgusting. It's long past time for the federal government to investigate Melania. If she's this much like Trump, she likely has criminal skeletons of her own in the closet.

No one who presents themself like this will be Prime Minister.

He's not remotely likeable.

Voters will not vote for extreme arrogance and smugness.

Over and over again, voters pick people who present as modest and gentile. Plain-spoken instead of the thundering voice of God.

“I’d rather die choking on my own mucus then live occasionally covering my mouth and nose” makes a very catchy slogan.

In the past few hours many of us have watched the discussion regarding classified documents & their appropriate storage.

Since like most senior officers I had some experience in this area, I thought it would be helpful to provide some BASIC info.

So, this new 🧵is born! 1/21

I finally took the time to watch this video with David Wallace, known as the “Fixer”. Lots of big political names mentioned. Not much shocks me today with Conservatives but David’s information and confessions sure did. Take time to watch and you’ll know why I say that.
