Steven Mnuchin is Treasury Secretary, not Wilbur Ross.

You'd think the writer of the piece would have caught that mistake since Wilbur Ross' name appears twice with two different jobs, as well as two different wives.


That said - Fuck'em all.

If he read what he wrote to check it, that sentence is so obviously a problem he should have caught it.

Are those Ivanka's BLACK ROOTS I see seated next to her daddy? Where was Maleria, back in NY with her lover, the chief security guard at Tiffany's? tRump is loving this part of the job, free advertising for his properties, free meals, playing "big shot". Unfortunately, the rest of the job is inconvenient for him, if not impossible to understand. The gop got themselves a WINNER this time, eh?

so he has to meet with these people at one of his places where he can be more assured that what is said isn't being overhead/taped/bugged whatever.

On our dime no less.

cleared out a bunch of customers to create a safe zone for him.

If they didn't, they should. If all it takes is to get dressed up and cleaned up and pay for a ridiculously over-priced meal in order to get close enough to the pussygrabber to, you know what, then I'm surprised it hasn't been attempted yet.
