I doubt it - but hopefully it affects election betting odds so I can bet on 2020 re-election and make a tidy profit!

You may be right but then again you may be wrong.Not widely reported by the MSM but there is this breaking story-
Exclusive: Wasserman Schultz talks about arrested aide Imran Awan - Sun Sentinel

Wasserman Schultz Apparently Planned to Pay IT Suspect in Pakistan.

Wasserman-Schultz was also leading the DNC at the time of the email hacking.Her IT guy had her password.Now he has been arrested for bank fraud and only then does she fire him even though all were told in Congress to cut ties with him.He also ran a used car yard which may be involved in money laundering.He accepted $100000 from an Iraqi MP who fled the US as he was to be arrested.
Just remember the DNC refused the FBI's request to examine their computers after the hacking.Why?

Then another possible problem for the Democrats-The FBI is apparently re investigating the Clinton foundation for corruption and the former CEO is believed to be co operating-

Just remember the announcement of the Grand Jury mentioned Russian interference in the 2016 election but nothing about Trump involvement.

Don't get too excited wmw - plenty water to go under the bridge yet.

Trump begged the Mexican President not to talk about the wall.

And congress has passed a bill for funding of the wall.

The Governor of West Virginia has expressed his disgust at what the Democratic Party has become and announced he is switching to the Republicans at a Trump rally standing alongside President Trump. Democrats are down to just 15 state governors - which shows how out of touch they have become as they have descended into a snowflake party on the extreme left. Seems like disabled transgendered Islamic vegetarians aren't such a big demographic after all.

Trump has now gone on a 17 day Golf holiday in New Jersey.

"Don't take vacations. What's the point? If you're not enjoying your work, you're in the wrong job," said Donald Trump knowingly in 2004. "Barack Obama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation on Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic," observed Donald Trump sarcastically in 2010. "President Obama is about to embark on a 17-day vacation in his 'native' Hawaii," exclaimed Donald Trump incredulously in 2013. "I would not be a president who took vacations," promised Donald Trump confidently in 2015.

This is, of course, not the first time that Trump has enjoyed time away from the White House on taxpayers' dime—the price tag of his weekend jaunts this year alone are estimated to outpace President Obama's entire eight-year travel budget—but it will be the lengthiest trip he's taken yet.

This is not a bad thing - if only him and his pathetic entourage were permanently playing golf, we might have a chance to forget this dangerous and ignorant buffoon.

 

[get me outta here]

I reesemble that remark. Btw, you left out a few besides the disabled et al that you mention. There are the feminists and the ubiquitous put down catch phase, "politically correct" to describe anyone who wishes to demonstate good manners.

Well some say when Bush was away vacationing he and his administration ignored warnings of an imminent attack from Al qaeda.

On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That morning’s “presidential daily brief” — the top-secret document prepared by America’s intelligence agencies — featured the now-infamous heading: “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

The Bush White House Was Deaf to 9/11 Warnings - The New York Times

Timothy Roemer, a former Democratic congressman, asked him when he first found out about the report from the FBI's Minnesota field office that Zacarias Moussaoui, an Islamic jihadist, had been taking lessons on how to fly a 747. Tenet replied that he was briefed about the case on Aug. 23 or 24, 2001. Roemer then asked Tenet if he mentioned Moussaoui to President Bush at one of their frequent morning briefings. Tenet replied, "I was not in briefings at this time." Bush, he noted, "was on vacation." He added that he didn't see the president at all in August 2001. During the entire month, Bush was at his ranch in Texas. "You never talked with him?" Roemer asked. "No," Tenet replied. By the way, for much of August, Tenet too was, as he put it, "on leave."

While Bush vacationed, 9/11 warnings went unheard.

 

[drron]

Of course in December 1998 the CIA reported to President Clinton that Al Qaeda was preparing terrorist attacks in the USA that may involve hijacked aircraft.
Two of the three cells used in the 9/11 attack were known to the CIA and Tenet in January 2000.

Then there was an Interview George W did on August 25 2001 and it included this of his day-

Q So how many hours a day are you out here? THE PRESIDENT: About three. But I've had the full day already. I got up at 5:45 a.m., read all the stuff I needed to read, and then took off at about 7 a.m. with a little run, got back to the house about 7:45 a.m. and we had a CIA briefing for an hour, and a national security briefing. Both of them took an hour. Then we came down here and started working. And this will be it. Probably finish about 12:15 p.m. or so.

So people did talk to him at the ranch and it was known as the Western White House.

A bit of serendipidy.earlier today I watched an episode of the BBC Catalyst with Bob Geldof.Interesting what he had to say about George W-

We can’t help but ask this question. You were talking at the beginning about your relationships with Bono and Bob Dylan, and yet there’s your relationship with George W. Bush. How do you explain that one to people?
Well, first, Bono. It’s very annoying for me. Bono was this small, fat kid staring up at me when I was performing, picking his nose in the pubs of Ireland, and now I’m going to see him play to 160,000 in London. I’m sick of it. [Laughter] He's also, besides being one of the great voices of rock, a very clever man and a true friend and comrade.
I’ve often said that George W. Bush has been the most impactful of the American presidents with regards to Africa. That’s without a question, and people are sort of dismayed when I say things like that. But the thing is, you speak truth unto power, but you also speak truth about power when it’s necessary. I admire what he did when he didn’t have to.
I once said to him, “Mr. President, why don’t you talk about this in the States? What you’re doing is classic Jeffersonian politics, the proper America. Why aren’t you talking about it?” He said, “Listen, Geldof, if I talk about building a bridge in Nairobi, they’ll just say, ‘Why didn’t you build a bridge in Nebraska.’” [Laughter.]

 

[JohnK]

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.

Isn't that the American way? They play a World Series where the teams are mainly US teams with some token Canadian teams?

So, George W Bush is your benchmark, is he now? First wow!

I don't know what it is with Republicans (and to a lesser degree, some Democrats) who think "so did he" is a good defence!! Second wow!

"Excuse me honour, but the guy next to me killed 5 people; I only killed 3; he is worse than me so I should walk!" Third wow!

Why not hold our leaders to very high absolute standards rather than comparing them with the lowest common denominator?

I am speechless...

Yet President Trump, despite these baseless allegations of 'laziness', has achieved more positive things for America in 8 months than Obama did in 8 years.

Well I am gobsmacked.
Who said anything about benchmarks?
A statement was made about George W which was wrong so I posted the facts which showed that.
And if you think W.Clinton is a better person than George W you have not read enough.
Did you read the quote from Bob Geldof?
In Africa when you speak to people in health care there is no doubt that there George W did much better than Clinton who is mostly remembered for forcing useless Ranbaxy drugs for AIDs onto Africa when they had been proven useless by the WHO.

Indian diplomat thoughts on Ivanka Trump.

An unnamed Indian diplomat told Bobby Ghosh, the editor-in-chief of the Hindustan Times: "We regard Ivanka Trump the way we do half-wit Saudi princes. It's in our national interest to flatter them.”
[h=2]Ivanka Trump is part of the problem in the White House[/h]


He later added: “Yes, it is a shame that the US should be compared to a kingdom. But that is America's shame, not Modi's, or India's.”

That's pathetic even for you whatmeworry - quoting anonymous abuse from someone who has never met Ivanka Trump and who has no substantive, constructive criticism to make. No wonder cultural Marxist automatons are so reviled right now.

That list would still be a work in progress.

Yet President Trump, despite these baseless allegations of 'laziness', has achieved more positive things for America in 8 months than Obama did in 8 years.

He has made America an international laughing stock, trashed relationships with allies, rocked the foundations of the NATO alliance, set about destroying the environment and the entire biosphere, tried to destroy their healthcare system and stuffed up even that attempted sabotage, emboldened white supremacists and racists to the point where neo-naz_s stage open rallies carrying burning tiki torches in some pathetic parody of a KKK lynch mob (which actually cost one poor woman her life), rolled back consumer protections, started a process to deregister and sell off national parks, appointed a secretary of education whose life work is to abolish public schools, an attorney general who longs to restore Jim Crow if not actual slavery, an environment secretary who wants to destroy the environment, and an electoral fraud commissioner with a track record of voter suppression.
He runs the white house like an episode of the apprentice and makes a mockery of public office.
The only positive achievements have been profits for his companies due to his blatant corruption and disregard for the constitutional prohibition on emoluments.


Oh and I almost forgot North Korea ...
