Donald Trump Deals Leave Howie Mandel And Monte Hall In The Dust

<![CDATA[They never learn. It doesn't matter what accomplishments Donald Trump racks up. To his detractors, they'll always discount the good, magnify what they perceive to be the awful, and predict imminent doom for the entire MAGA movement. Last week alone, the President had enough wins to fill presidential libraries of other presidents with four or eight years in the White House. On Friday, Trump addressed the press gaggle on the White House lawn before heading to Scotland for some golf (I'm reliably told they've played that game there for a long time) and to hold a few meetings. Some of the meetings were trade-related, but unspecified with whom, and some meetings with individual heads of state were announced, like one with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Matt Lewis, a Never Trump conservative who has a chronic case of TDS, long enough to predict 1) Trump will lose to Kamala Harris, and 2) will drive MAGA off the cliff, Thelma and Louise style, after the Liberation Day tariffs. But Matt, not having been borne out to possess the gift of political prophecy, has not yet been deterred to keep at it. He just 3) authored an op-ed that July would be remembered as the time when Donald Trump became a lame duck.  The fever swamp online was full of derision for Trump's decision to go to Scotland in the first place. Of course, they had no earthly idea of what the President's agenda was, but that didn't matter. The narrative was that Trump was wasting taxpayer money to go to one of his other resorts, Turnberry, so he could sneak in a few rounds of vacation golf. ]]>
