There is nothing POTUS is more afraid of than looking weak:

TRUMP: if you’re really, really pathetically weak, the country is going to be overrun with millions of people and if you’re strong, then you don’t have any heart. That’s a tough dilemma. Perhaps I’d rather be strong ..
This is part of why we've seen him consistently take the hardest line position on any issue.

Terrorism: We should kill the families of Terrorists.
Abortion: Women should be punished.
Immigration: Build a wall, separate families
Muslims: Ban them all
etc etc
He believes these issues make him look strong, tough.

He believes that because he got loud roars for it during the election even as he was being condemned by dems and republicans. The crowds still cheered. So he went as far as he could.

THREAD: Financial Independence:Retire Early (FI:RE) Series Part 1a. Understanding Money: PERCEIVED vs. ACTUAL value. #FIRE #FinancialLiteracy #FinancialIndependence #RetireEarly #TayoOyedeji
Formula 1. FI:RE is not about Money. But you need to understand money to attain FI:RE.
Money is:

1. A means of exchange for PERCEIVED value.
2. A store of ACTUAL value.

Understanding the dichotomy between PERCEIVED and ACTUAL value is the key to FI:RE.

Hello #author friends! I'd like to talk to you about an open-license world called Strowlers!

Strowlers is a fantasy world created with the intent of allowing content creators to work and thrive inside it. It's fantasy. It's magic. It's myth. It's cultural tradition. (1)
First brought to life on film, there are already several beautiful stories in the world of Strowlers!

One short film follows a young Mongolian girl as she learns of her family's history and connection to magic. Entirely in Mongolian, it's clearly a very personal piece. (2)
Another short film takes place in Ireland. A spy working against magic users tracks down a woman performing a ritual. She steals an ingredient, disrupting the spell - to terrible effects. It's a piece about trust, about growth, and about doing the right thing. (3)

(1) "Many of the accounts of what has happened in the Trump White House are in conflict with one another; many, in Trumpian fashion, are baldly untrue...
(2) Those conflicts, and that looseness with the truth, if not with reality itself, are an elemental thread of the book."

- Excerpt from 'Fire and Fury' (Author's note, p.2).
(3) The lunatic-left call him unfit for office based on a book that the author himself (and those he writes about), says is, at least partially, untrue. They question his mental health based on drivel from Dr. Bandy X Lee, a psychiatrist who has never even met the man.

Fire and Fury. We all know everything so I’m just gonna share stuff I found surprising.

During the campaign Ivanka and Jared went on vacation with David Geffen. What the fuck? Seems after you become rich enough you no longer have what we call “personal beliefs”.
“So mortifying was [the Billy Bush] development that when Reince Priebus, the RNC head, was called to New York from Washington for an emergency meeting at Trump Tower, he couldn’t bring himself to leave Penn Station. It took two hours for the Trump team to coax him across town.”
“What is this ‘white trash’?” asked the model.
“They’re people just like me,” said Trump, “only they’re poor.”

(THREAD) This is Part 2 of a live-read of Michael Wolff's FIRE AND FURY. The thread includes brief excerpts from the book and analysis of what each may mean for the Russia probe. A link to Part 1 of the live-read is in the thread.

Hope you'll check it out and share with others.
Here's a link to Part 1 of the live-read. 1/
This is a more significant observation than most realize. A primary effect of Trump using Hicks and Jr. as information firewalls—for both emails and direct messages—is that he could pretend he hadn't been involved in anything involving Russia and therefore it'd never happened. 2/

NOTE TO READERS: My copy of FIRE AND FURY arrives in 5 days. If Henry Holt stops publishing it, I'll publish on Twitter a 500-tweet thread with EVERY SINGLE key passage in the book, so that all America can read what the president insists you not know about him and his presidency.
2/ To be clear, the chances Henry Holt stops publishing this book are beyond minuscule. So I suggest that everyone buy two copies and give one as a gift to any Trump supporter you know who is capable of seeing sense.
3/ Around 300 sentences from the book have already been published by major media, so my 500-tweet thread would link to all those. Another 100 or so sentences—individual excerpts, not successive—would be put into the thread and analyzed across several tweets for academic purposes.
