Saudis Cozying up to Trump
By cozying up so much to Trump, Saudi Arabia makes itself a partisan lightning rod in the U.S. https://t.co/yS5CYycfZa

Frankly speaking, to me it looks like both sides are cozying up to each other.
Trump, the Conman (1958)
What the fresh hell. This is REAL. Filmed in 1958- about a conman who grifts a small town of suckers into building a wall. History not subtle enough for you? GUESS THE GRIFTER'S NAME

In the comments to this tweet there are assumption, that “Trump” in the movie was a reference to Fred Trump, the father of Donald Trump.
That dude looks like Fred Trump too.

Fred Trump the slumlord, reviled by many in NYC back then. Woody Guthrie wrote him into a song back in 1950. https://t.co/88YXSa73vL

100 Days Since the Murder of Khashoggi
Jamal #Khashoggi, a @Washingtonpost journalist, was murdered and dismembered more that 100 days ago. A great nation would not protect those who were responsible for that.https://t.co/IEHReB3Q2W — @NewYorker

Better Call James
Did anyone ask why Secretary Mattis resigned then? https://t.co/vp3pqwEvz4

The graph shows Middle East relations in 2016. How can Trump understand something like that if he even is not able to read Mattis' resignation letter? (He understood it only after the "media" reported about that letter.) https://t.co/rqFnJHV9YQ pic.twitter.com/SSX2GdDlPC

This quite probably is too much for Trump. But thanks to his tweets US soldiers now understand the dangerous military incompetence of their commander in chief. This is worse than his lying to them about salary rises. https://t.co/YARhPy2T2B pic.twitter.com/HsH0QOu3hU

"General Jim Mattis will be retiring, with distinction, at the end of February."
After it took Trump some reading effort (600 words), Trump fired Mattis earlier.https://t.co/OD70vTFiNt

Trump’s Sense for Honorability
President Trump: "I find China, frankly in many ways, to be far more honorable than cryin' Chuck and Nancy. I really do. I think that China is actually much easier to deal with than the opposition party." pic.twitter.com/fqMigRbE0H

Dining to Leave
One dinner guest, Hardy McLain, attended dinners in 2017 and 2018 and previously donated £20,000 to the Vote Leave campaign. The firm he founded was previously linked to attempts to “profit from Brexit uncertainty”.
I missed this at the time, but this article from July 2018 about the people who have collectively paid over £7,000,000 to dine with Theresa May and senior ministers since TM came to office is fascinating…https://t.co/HKt1Vw8ipf

In order to be a good dealmaker, you need to have realistic goals, patience, flexibility and maturity.
Trump hasn't demonstrated any of these prerequisites yet in his quest for the wall https://t.co/niDKGsDCC3 pic.twitter.com/KX19TOi68r

Books about negotiations by Leigh L. Thompson:
Double Standards Management System
No surprise. Some branches of the Christian Church seem to have evolved into a more or less sophisticated double standards management system.
Do Christians have a moral duty to support Trump, no matter what? https://t.co/pmrkugng0g
