Trump on WH request to remove USS John McCain from his line of sight:

“I don’t know what happened. I wasn’t involved. I would not have done that. I was very angry with John McCain because he killed healthcare. I was not a big fan of John McCain in any way shape or form....
2/ “... I think John McCain had a lot with getting President Bush – a lot to do with it to go into the Middle East, which was a catastrophe. To me, John McCain, I wasn’t a fan. But I would never do a thing like that...
3/“... Now, somebody did it because they thought I didn’t like him, ok? And they were well-meaning, I will say. I didn’t know anything about it. I would never have done that.”

On this day 75 years ago, BBC broadcast lines from Paul Verlaine's poem "Chanson d'automne” as code to alert the French resistance that Operation Overlord (aka the battle of Normandy) would commence within two weeks.

"Les sanglots longs /
des violons /
de l'automne"
Here’s one translation of the poem:

NYT: "Files on those drives showed that he wrote a study in 2015 concluding that adding a citizenship question to the census would allow Republicans to draft even more extreme gerrymandered maps to stymie Democrats. "

"...Mr. Hofeller’s charge was to assess the impact of drawing political maps that were not based on a state’s total population — the current practice virtually everywhere in the nation — but on a slice of that population: American citizens of voting age... 2/
3/ "...Hofeller’s exhaustive analysis of Texas state legislative districts concluded that such maps 'would be advantageous to Republicans and non-Hispanic whites' and would dilute the political power of the state’s Hispanics...

A small, immeasurably petty man, unworthy of the office he occupies.
An absolute f*cking disgrace, @DeptofDefense.

"Acting Defense Secretary @ActingSecDef Pat Shanahan was aware of the concern about the presence of the USS John McCain in Japan and approved measures to ensure it didn’t interfere with #Trump's visit." wsj.com/articles/white…
"A senior Navy official confirmed someone at the White House sent a message requesting that the USS John McCain be kept out of the picture while Trump was there.

A senior WH official also confirmed that they did not want the destroyer seen in photographs" wapo.st/2QyqyIo

#Trump starts his “major announcement” bragging about performing a swearing in ceremony in the oval office.

PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPS, JACKASS.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump: Many mothers give their young daughters birth control for the long journey to America because they know they may be raped or assaulted.

The worst part of this? There’s no way to know whether it’s the birth control or the assaults that offend them.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump is having trouble speaking. Somebody messed up his “Sudafed” dose.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Remember how a few weeks back #USS sent me some data relevant to the valuation and, in particular, Test 1? Well, I've been playing around with it and found out some VERY interesting (if technical) things. Read on. 1/

@OpenUPP2018 @USSbriefs @ForPension

Firstly, the new data has pulled the valuation spreadsheet I've cobbled together nicely into line with numbers #USS have published in various documents. In other words, I have got a rough and ready model of the valuation which works pretty well. 2/
September valuation?
USS say 5.1bn deficit, my spreadsheet says 5.0bn

November valuation?
USS say 7.5bn deficit, my spreadsheet agrees

Cancel the de-risking (allowing for prudence)?
My spreadsheet says 0.5bn deficit, same figure I was told last year by @alanhigham100 of USS. 3/

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
