Looking for news you can trust?
Let me get this straight. On Saturday Donald Trump skipped a memorial service for Americans killed during World War I at Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France. Today he’s not bothering to attend the Veterans Day wreath-laying at Arlington Cemetery even though he’s in Washington. And later this week he’ll be skipping both the ASEAN and APEC summits in Asia.
So what is he doing today? Stewing over his mammoth loss in the midterm elections? Trying to figure out a way to get partisan hack Matt Whitaker confirmed as attorney general? Trying to remember what’s actually in his income tax returns now that there’s a chance they might become public? Throwing temper tantrums over the possibility that Robert Mueller plans to indict Donald Trump Jr.? Watching CNN and shaking his fist a lot? Working up the nerve to fire Ryan Zinke? Thinking up new ways to insult the memory of Californians who died last week in the state’s worst wildfires in recent memory? Or maybe just nursing a cold?
Who knows? But whatever it is, it sure doesn’t look like anything presidential is on the horizon.
UPDATE: For some reason I thought there was an official wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington Cemetery today and that Trump was skipping it. There isn’t and he didn’t. Sorry about that.

I'm telling you, Trump no longer has to give a shit. The midterms are over, he doesn't have to pretend. He doesn't want to run again. He won't do anything that requires effort any longer
