Yes, I meant this specific president, not the institution in general, sorry.

@Sergarr: Not sure what the random factoid has to do with anything, besides money.
Wait, fuck, I've meant to post it in a different thread. Oh well, too late now.

In more thread-relevant news, Trump has announced the first rally for his 2020 election campaign to be held on Saturday. No, I'm not joking. This is really happening.

And people called Obama a 'campaigner-in-chief' at times.

This is mainly just Trump returning to something that is familiar and comfortable for him, namely the spotlight.

HE's been holding rallies since the elections, "thank you rallies" and so on. They're not specifically campaign thing, he seems to love the crowd.

Uh, his own press-secretary has called it a "campaign" event.

Yeah, he's just doing something that he finds familiar, comforting even. Maybe he's just doing a continuation of the 'thank you rallies', just drawn out.

The Kremlin is feeling disappointed over relations not getting better. Even if they did succeed in their intent of sowing chaos, there was no guarantee that relations would get better, though they really haven't been doing anything on their part that would actually help relations get better as it's a two-way street. Plus it has backfired on them pretty quick.

Also, apparently Trump is going to do a semi-impromptu news conference in about an hour or so. And announce a new labor sec. nominee. Must have had a plan B in mind as this is pretty quick.

I guess Trump is just being proactive, even if it's an extreme extension of the 'forever in election year mode' syndrome that plagues Congress at times.

That said, I wonder who's paying for it since it was paid by the campaign funding during the campaigns, which doesn't exist at this point in time.

I heard that that was one of the main reasons that Trump had declared his continued campaign so early; i.e. that people were still donating significant amounts of money to his campaign and if he let it's existence lapse then he would have to *gasp* give it back!

Hey, wait, didn't he say he was so rich that he didn't need to be beholden to donations? I'm beginning to think he was lying about that...

So apparently, the press journalists were ordered to leave the Tillerson-Lavrov meeting right after it started (1). Verrry suspicious.

It could be a symptom of how understaffed the State Department is.

Detailed breakdown of Trump's approval numbers.

This is the first big approval poll rather than the smaller tracker. Juicy demographic breakdowns abound.
Trump nominates Alexander Acosta for Labor Sec.

At first glance he looks extremely qualified. Can't find much immediately about his views on important issues.

Whaaat? He is a person?

In other news, maybe you're gonna get rid of Mexicans, but they might very well be replaced by Venezuelans soon. Not as economic migrants, but as official asylum seekers. More and more Venezeulans are taking to the pacific in crappy boats trying to reach Carribean islands like Curaçao.

In another blow to press freedom, Venezuala blocked CNN for spreading fake news, and are now working on blocking YouTube for streaming CNN.
The CNN ban followed after president Maduro got very angry at CNN for a report on vice-president Tareck al Aissaimi, accusing him of involvement in fake passport trading.

In other news, DeNeiro has come out as a moron by backing Robert F Kennedy's anti-vaccine crusade. They will only be happy when young death to disease returns, when polio and poxes and fevers cut down the strong and the weak alike. They are avatars of Nurgle hierself, fighting to deny others the protections they themselves have enjoyed.
