When I first saw this picture, I said, "I'd love to be a fly on the wall."

Back then, I thought Obama must have said something to Trump that rattled him prior to this photo. I remember thinking Obama's face looked gray. Trump looked like he crapped his pants.

Obama is always the smartest one in the room, not matter who's with him.

Now, as we are learning more, I'm even more convinced this isn't going to end well for Trump. I just hope we have patriots on the Republican side. Keep resisting, keep insisting.

No wonder that guy can't sleep. A guilty conscience will do that to a person.

to have a guilty one.

But even someone with as little self-awareness as Trump knows when he is in over his head.

You have two chances of that being the case, slim and none. None has the inside track.
republicans have no integrity or morals or ethics of any kind.

I think they've proven by action, thought and deed, there are no repukes left with any integrity, decency, patriotism, sensibilities. Their only goal is the siphoning off of this country's resources and wealth into their pockets and screw the country and its citizens. This country has been so dumbed down since FDR, it's mind-boggling (to say the least). Lowest approval rating ever for our so-called "representatives", and yet, in lock-step, the repukes voted them all back in, plus some ~ SICK, SICK, SICK.!

They would need to value their oaths to the Constitution over their party. Not gonna happen.

"Good luck. You are about to live in interesting times".



(but with Obama having had access to all of the highest levels of intel on him, he was probably thinking - "let's see if he is held to the same standard as they held me because if they do, it's about to get real ugly in here&quot
