TRUMP: You can't make this stuff up

Trump political potpourri part two:

1. Political trickerstion. Never thought I’d see the day when someone would challenge Dick Tuck for one of the best political pranks of all time, but “Charles” did just that with “45 es un titere” on an altered presidential seal while Trump was giving a speech.

2. Nicole Hammer, co-editor of the Washington Post’s “made by history” section: “The GOP’s questions to Mueller seemed bizarre — unless you watch Fox News.”

3. Russia targeted election systems in all 50 states in the 2016 presidential election … ya think?

4. Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colorado, asked Mueller, “Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?” Mueller: yes. Buck looked incredulously at Mueller and asked the question again. Mueller: yes. What did Buck expect?

5. The Senate, led by Mitch McConnell, just rejected any election protection legislation for 2020.
