Trump dropping back into harsh reality after royal treatment abroad

The president is returning to his feud with Pelosi, oversight probes and high-stakes trade wars after a relatively smooth European trip.

SHANNON, Ireland — He was treated to full royal pageantry in London, an aerial tour of the Normandy landings in France, and a round of golf at his luxury resort on the coast of Ireland. Now, it’s back to reality for Donald Trump.

A growing number of political troubles will greet the president as he returns to Washington, fresh off a five-day swing through France and the United Kingdom, where he and his adult children enjoyed a series of ostentatious affairs. Trump’s lengthy foreign trip — one of the last he’s expected to make before launching his re-election campaign later this month — was seen as a roaring success among his aides.

But it didn’t take long for the president to refocus on special counsel Robert Mueller and his feud with Speaker Nancy Pelosi as he wrapped up his visit, trampling on positive news coverage that he received for his speech on the 75th anniversary of D-Day.

In a series of early-morning tweets, Trump quoted Fox News’ Sean Hannity describing Mueller’s report on Russian election meddling as “pure political garbage” and claimed the report was “totally biased” against him. His comments came just hours after he received unexpected acclaim for the remarks he gave in front of hundreds of World War II veterans gathered near a cemetery for American soldiers at Omaha Beach.

3. I suspect things are going to get uglier from here on out.....

Expect the following.....

More name calling.
More desperate tweeting.
More Obstruction of Justice.
More lashing out at the Media.
More DICKtator actions like self-praise.

A total disaster of the 4th of July is around the corner. The number of protestors will be interesting to see.

5. I would love to go to Washinton on July 4th to protest

I am sadly just too old, protested W for 8 years but am now unable to walk very far. I don't want to be a burden to any protesters.

4. "...positive news coverage that he received...."

Seriously? The whole trip was a debacle of trumpian proportions. Can we please stop posting crap from Politico?

6. Oh the irony, it burns

Sean Hannity, the king of "pure political garbage' describing Mueller’s report on Russian election meddling as “pure political garbage.”

8. Sean Hannity peddles in TABLOID.....

He is not relevant, though he does have hangers on who watch him because they lack the intelligence to change the channel.
