Meanwhile Trump thought the G20 was bring your unqualified Daughter to Work Day.

But critics did not like the idea of the first daughter filling in for the president, pointing out that she was neither elected nor qualified to represent the United States at a high-level event.
Trump was spotted sitting in her father's seat Saturday at a working session on “Partnership with Africa, Migration and Health.” A picture shared on Twitter by a Russian attendee but since deleted shows her seated between British Prime Minister Theresa May and Chinese President Xi Jinping. German Chancellor Angela Merkel sat one seat away.

Meanwhile the Trump Team including his son met with a Kremlin Lawyer during the campaign at Trump Tower.

The previously unreported meeting was also attended by Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman at the time, Paul J. Manafort, as well as the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to interviews and the documents, which were outlined by people familiar with them.
While President Trump has been dogged by revelations of undisclosed meetings between his associates and Russians, this episode at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016, is the first confirmed private meeting between a Russian national and members of Mr. Trump’s inner circle during the campaign. It is also the first time that his son Donald Trump Jr. is known to have been involved in such a meeting.

The Kremlin linked Lawyer promised the Trump team damaging information about the Clinton Campaign.

President Donald Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. agreed to meet with a Kremlin-linked lawyer during the 2016 campaign after being promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton, the New York Times reported on Sunday, citing three advisers to the White House.
Trump's then-campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, also attended the meeting, the Times reported.
The Times quoted a statement from Donald Trump Jr. in which he acknowledged meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

[FONT=&amp]"Anybody who tells you definitively the president can or cannot pardon himself is making more of a normative argument or prediction then a declaration of what the law is," Michael Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Cornell University, told [/FONT]The Independent[FONT=&amp], noting that there is potential case law to support either argument, but that it has never been attempted before so it is impossible to tell what the courts would ultimately decide on the matter.

It is debatable for certain things but he can't pardon himself if he is impeached.

Special investigator wants to look at Trumps tax returns. Trump angry. Very sad.

It's an interesting debate at law. Unfortunately, can't see the wheels turning fast enough for him being impeached in first term.

Depends if their is a smoking gun to make Republicans to act or they get wiped at the mid terms. Interesting some of Trumps lawyers have represented the mob.

Brutal moment when McCain votes down the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

Almost sounds plausible.

So the Donald claims he received a call from 'the head of the boy Scouts' telling him his recent speech at the Jamboree was the greatest speech ever made to them!

The Boy Scouts organisation stated they are unaware of any call made by senior management team.

Could it be possible the POTUS is a tad careless with the truth?

It seems like a serious problem. Every thing he does is "the best" or "the first" or "the most". Even a recent tweet about the G20 was phrased the "top 20" . It's very scary.
 
Robert Mueller has impanels a Grand Jury on the Trump-Russia probe. End is nigh for Trump.
