For nearly nine months, Senate Republicans have watched their new president with a mix of aggravation and alarm. But it took Senator Bob Corker to take those concerns public and confront President Trump with his most serious challenge from within his own party.
In unloading on Mr. Trump, Mr. Corker, a two-term senator from Tennessee, said in public what many of his Republican colleagues say in private — that the president is dangerously erratic and unstable, that he treats his high post like a television show and that he is reckless enough to stumble the country into a nuclear war.
Mr. Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, evidently feels liberated now that he has decided not to run for re-election, while other Republican senators with concerns keep quiet fearing the retaliation of a Twitter-armed president and his allies in the conservative media. But Mr. Corker’s passionate statements reflect growing troubles for a president attempting to govern with a narrow and increasingly disenchanted Republican majority.
The president has already seen what can happen with a 52-vote Senate caucus that can be thwarted by the defection of just three Republicans. Until now, Mr. Corker has not been one of the renegades on those high-drama votes that killed Mr. Trump’s health care legislation. By himself, Mr. Corker could make it that much harder for the president to hold a fragile majority on upcoming votes on taxes, among other priorities — and if he emboldens other Republican doubters, it could add to Mr. Trump’s challenge.
The White House spent Monday morning telling its allies that Mr. Corker is responsible for the fight, not Mr. Trump, and that the senator was an attention-seeking obstructionist. But few of Mr. Trump’s allies accepted that narrative. One close associate of the president, who asked not to be identified to discuss the sit
But that does not mean other Senate Republicans will rush to the microphones to second Mr. Corker’s sentiments. In an interview with The New York Times on Sunday, Mr. Corker responded to a series of Twitter attacks on him by Mr. Trump. He said that the president was running the White House like it was “a reality show” and with bellicose threats that could set the nation “on the path to World War III.” Mr. Corker added that “every single day at the White House, it’s a situation of trying to contain him.”
Other Republican lawmakers, while privately nodding their heads, remained conspicuously silent on Monday morning, and many Senate Republicans no doubt were relieved not to be in session this week in Washington, where they would be intercepted in the hallways of the Capitol by reporters asking them to comment on Mr. Corker’s remarks.
“While it may really bother other Senate Republicans and it’s unnerving that one of their own is being attacked, most aren’t retiring and know they must still work with the White House in order to accomplish legislative goals like tax reform or eventually answer to frustrated voters,” said Ron Bonjean, a former top aide to Senate Republican leaders.
Mr. Trump has grown frustrated by Senate Republicans as legislation to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care program has been repeatedly blocked, lashing out at Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the party leader, for not getting the job done. He has also engaged in open conflicts with Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lindsey O. Graham of South Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, among others.
Mr. Trump’s former chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, acting in what he says is the president’s interest, is organizing a rebellion against the Republican establishment and recruiting candidates to challenge incumbent senators in primaries next year. Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff has talked about a “purge” of Republicans who are not loyal to Mr. Trump.
For their part, Senate Republicans have pushed back on occasion. Almost unanimously, they and their counterparts in the House passed legislation over Mr. Trump’s objections mandating sanctions on Russia and limiting the president’s ability to lift them on his own.

Melania Trump Tussles With Ivana Over First Lady Status

- Issues statement challenging Ivana Trump’s use of title

First Lady Melania Trump
Melania Trump made it clear Monday that she may be President Donald Trump’s third wife but is the only “first lady.”
Her response was swift and certain Monday after Ivana Trump, the president’s first wife, laid claim to the title, perhaps playfully.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2017/10/1071.jpg
Ivana Trump
While promoting her new book, “Raising Trump,” Ivana Trump, who was married to the president from 1977 to 1992, has sought to take credit for what she sees as the president’s strengths, including his Twitter habit. Appearing Monday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” she said she has a “direct number” to her ex-husband and speaks to him about once every two weeks.
“I don’t want to call him there because Melania is there and I don’t want to cause any kind of jealousy or something like that because I’m basically first Trump wife. I’m first lady, OK?” said Ivana, the mother of three Trump children: Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric.
Melania Trump’s White House team hit back. “There is clearly no substance to this statement from an ex, this is unfortunately only attention-seeking and self-serving noise,” spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement, hinting at sensitive relations among women who’ve been married to the president.
“Mrs. Trump has made the White House a home for Barron and the president,” Grisham added. “She loves living in Washington, D.C., and is honored by her role as first lady of the United States. She plans to use her title and role to help children, not sell books.”
The first lady has in recent weeks stepped up her efforts to build a policy platform, hosting children at the White House kitchen garden and attending meetings arranged by the president’s opioid commission. She is scheduled to travel Tuesday to West Virginia to visit Lily’s Place, a non-profit center that provides care for infants born with prenatal exposure to opioids or other drugs.
^Looks like she fell in the ugly pond along the way at some point.
She definitely looks like a "Before" picture.Quote:

but to be fair we need to take into consideration that her years with trump were most likely a hell on earth....and that's going to take a toll.
agree: we can be fairly certain they had sex on at least 3 occasions...in fact, she mentions in her memoir that she still has the turkey baster...Quote:

Trump challenges Tillerson to 'compare IQ tests' after reported 'moron' dig
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2017/10/1032.jpg
- Trump suggests IQ battle with Tillerson: ‘I can tell you who is going to win’
- President also claims of unprecedented legislative success in first nine months
The president spoke to the magazine on Friday and the interview was published online on Tuesday.
Last week, an NBC story claimed Mike Pence, the vice-president, had to talk Tillerson out of resigning this summer,
and that Tillerson had called Trump a “moron”. Some reports said he called the president “a fucking moron”.

Watch out, Rex Tillerson. The president wants to go brain-to-brain with you.

"I have a very good brain."
Source: BloombergPresident Donald Trump has challenged Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to a duel, suggesting that he and his beleaguered adviser match scores from their respective IQ tests to see who's smarter.
To be fair to the president, Tillerson has reportedly called Trump a "moron." Even away from Trumplandia, that's a fighting word.
"I think it’s fake news, but if he did that, I guess we’ll have to compare IQ tests," Trump said of Tillerson in an interview that Forbes published Tuesday. “And I can tell you who is going to win.”
You betcha. No doubt who would win that one. After all, Tillerson—who is the former chief executive of one of the world's largest corporations, Exxon Mobil, and has a degree in engineering—must be dumb if he didn't realize that questioning Trump's smarts is a dangerous game.
Trump's always been the world's leading gladiator when it comes to IQ smackdowns.
In 2016, he challenged London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, to compare IQ tests after Khan dismissed Trump's take on Islam as "ignorant."
Trump has also boasted that he has a higher IQ than George W. Bush, Barack Obama, George Will, Karl Rove and the entire staff of the Washington Post. Lest he missed anyone, Trump has also issued blanket warnings to those who might question his intellectual chops, as he did in this Twitter post from 2013:
Trump's insecurity about his intellect is one of the constants of his journey on the public stage over the last several decades. (The other two legs of Trump's insecurity stool are his sexappeal and the scope of his wealth; Trump sued me for questioning the latter, a case he lost in 2011.)

Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure,it's not your fault
8:37 AM - May 9, 2013
Trump was talking so much about his IQ way back in the early 2000s, when I covered him as a reporter and then spent time with him for a biography, that I once asked him for evidence of his lofty scores. He never produced anything.
Trump's bragging about his brain was also a hallmark of the 2016 presidential campaign, and beyond.
"I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain," Trump told Morning Joe interviewers in 2016 when asked who was advising him about foreign affairs and diplomacy. "My primary consultant is myself, and I have a good instinct for this stuff."
Such expertise extended to national security and intelligence matters, as he noted in an interview last December in which he explained why he doesn't need daily briefings: "I'm, like, a smart person," he said. "I don't have to be told the same thing in the same words every single day for the next eight years."
The day before he was inaugurated in January, Trump told a luncheon honoring his cabinet that, "We have by far the highest IQ of any cabinet ever assembled!" (It's not clear where he ranked Tillerson at the time.)
On he rolled:
"Is Donald Trump an intellectual? Trust me, I'm like a smart person," he told a gathering at the Central Intelligence Agency the day after he was inaugurated.
In February, he advised that anyone questioning the bona fides of a travel ban he had proposed against seven mostly-Muslim countries might not measure up academically:
"I was a good student," he said. "I comprehend very well, okay, better than I think almost anybody.”
Trump's alma mater, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, might have a different take on that. While a number of Trump profiles have described him as first in his class, college records don't support that. A Trump biographer, Gwenda Blair, has noted that the president had merely "respectable" grades at Fordham University before he transferred into Wharton, a school he has lauded as "super genius stuff," during his junior year.
The University of Pennsylvania's student newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, reportedearlier this year that Trump never made the Dean's List at Wharton. Former classmates described him as a lackluster student.
"He was not an intellectual man, but that wasn’t what his goal was," one classmate told the paper.
For those who perceive shortages of Trumpian brainpower, Twitter awaits:
"Tell yourself that you are a genius," he wrote in "Think Like a Champion," one of his many books. "Right away you will probably wonder why and in what way you are a genius. And right away, you will have opened your mind up to wonder—and to asking questions. That’s a big first step to thinking like a genius."

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..
7:52 PM - Jun 29, 2017
But even for Mika Brzezinski, Rex Tillerson and others who can't make Trump's IQ cut, hope is not lost. The president himself has offered an easy formula for getting back on the brainiac track.
If that advice isn't enough, there are always tests available. Mensa, the international club for smarties, said on Tuesday that it's ready to give the president's statements a reality check.
"Mensa would be happy to hold a testing session for President Trump and Secretary Tillerson," the group announced.
If he’s convinced himself ........

Not for nothing, but that Mike Pence is a bit of an insidious and enabling [at][at][at][at] isn't he.
Speaking of which, Bannon said naming Pence as VP was an unfortunate necessity.Quote:
