Trump Must Be Fuming at Being Upstaged by Thai Children

His big SCOTUS announcement wasn't the top of the morning news. His trip to Brussels, either. The dramatic rescue of the Thai children and coach from a cave has knocked Donwald out of the headlines. A humanitarian effort by people from around the world achieved a near miracle to rescue them after almost two weeks underground.

So, as he arrives in Brussels for a meeting with our NATO allies, he's probably in a foul mood today. Add jet lag to that, and anxiety over meeting his Russian crush in Finland and Queen Lizzie in England, and he's probably all red-faced and flop sweating all over the place. To quote the Rolling Stones, "How does it feel," Donwald?

say or do something guaranteed to grab the spotlight back to himself. He doesn’t tolerate having something else — anything else — including such positive news as the rescue of the Thai Kids and their coach — interfere with unending attention on him. He always has something to toss out to make sure he is the center of attention. Thankfully, the amazing rescue of these boys captivated the attention of the world so at least for now, THEY get the spotlight. But tRump will not let that last. 😢

It was under the U. S. section.

There is now a story on Kavanaugh's writings and decisions but that's it.
