His pronouncement on trade tariffs and whether Trump may change his mind:

“Whatever his final decision is, is what will happen. What he has said he has said; if he says something different, it’ll be something different.”

The Zen Koan of Our Times

Felicitations, Malefactors!

From the Washington Post:

Yet when you brag about speaking directly to the American people, you surrender the talking point in which you denounce the media for how it portrays you. In a press gaggle on Wednesday afternoon, Trump declared, “I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am. People don’t understand: I went to an Ivy League college, I was a nice student, I did very well. I’m a very intelligent person. The fact is I think, I really believe, I think the press creates a different image of Donald Trump than the real person.”

She added, “He was deputy minister of foreign affairs in Russia, who has communicated with American colleagues for decades in different fields, and CNN accused him of being a Russian spy … of recruiting? Oh my God!”

“For me personally, this confirmation process and the drama … has been a bear,” she said.
