Poll under your skin, Your Blobness? Here's the good news, if your approval rating is above 45% they can't impeach you.
Just kidding. Yes they can. And what's more, they will & then…no more polls except the periodic worst president in history competition. You'll kill there. https://t.co/ktcUX4r7J4

Trump held an official W.H. event (paid for by taxpyers) today in NC. In touting how he travels for free for official events, Trump said, "it's like a political event and you don't even have to pay for it." He also referenced his nearby golf course.https://t.co/MNM4RQiaDS

Really worth emphasizing that there’s a good (~25%) chance Republicans hold the House, gain a senate seat or two, replace McCain/Flake/Corker with Trump loyalists, Mueller gets fired, Manafort gets pardoned, and then that’s game over — the coverup worked.
