Eight ‘snippets of snark’ … and every single one is Trump related, so depending on your personal predilection read on - or move on.

… you know we can never resist a good cartoon … but the article is pretty good aswell …
Trump is the best autocrat. The best. Nobody has a better autocrat than we do.
Retro Trump

The New York Times has published The Definitive List of President Trump’s Lies.
I will take that definitive list - and raise you by one diary … because Amy Siskind is maintaining a weekly diary of just what Trump has been up to since it all started.

The Trumps have hired a manager from the Trump hotel in Washington as White House chief usher. The previous usher was inexplicably fired from the historically non-political job last month.

While on the topic of language …

Now we all make mistakes in our copy - don’t we … but this speaks to either 1) not spotting the mistake, because of the writer’s bad education or 2) not spotting the mistake because there is no attention to detail … ever. Either way, it is appalling - and no - this is not fake news - sadly it is true.
It Might Not Make The World Go Round …

… but it sure does make Trump …
Salon suggests the reason Trump has been so unsuccessful making real change outside executive orders is that money is the only leverage he understands. When he can’t use it – say, with civil servants – he’s lost.
But what’s that thing actual leaders use – ‘motivation,’ or something?
