It’s Wednesday.

President Donald Trump has spent his Hump Day executive time, tweeting 10 times.

President Trump is really upset that people are calling Doral, his Florida resort, bedbug infested.

As the News Blender reported on Tuesday, in 2017 Doral overnight guest Eric Linder sued the resort for $15,000 for pain and suffering after he woke up covered in bedbug bites.

This was after he was moved to a different room, because a water pipe had busted upstairs from him.

The case was settled out of court, the settlement amount was not disclosed.

On Monday Slate reported that according to an email, the New York Times headquarters had found evidence of bedbugs in, “we discovered evidence of bedbugs in a wellness room (02E4-253) on the second floor, a couch on the third floor and a booth on the fourth floor. These specific areas were then swept by professionals and found to be otherwise clean. In an abundance of caution, the second-floor room has been temporarily closed, the booth has been blocked off and the couch has been removed to be treated and professionally cleaned.”

Side note: Slate is not what I would call a reliable source, however the Washington Post, linked them in a story and I found this, and yes, I’m not even ashamed to say I lol’d.

Do you know which wellness-room-and-couch-loving New York Times staffer is gliding from floor to floor in a Pig Pen–esque cloud of bedbugs, terrorizing booths and colleagues? Have you seen any bedbugs at the Times? Are you a bedbug? Please let us know.

Slate.

On Tuesday night the President sent a tweet highlighting the Washington Post story that included the link to the Slate article.

The story.

Twitter user Dave Karpf, sent this tweet.

The tweet which now has 4,723 re-tweets and 31,237, originally had 9 likes and zero re-tweets when New York Times columnist Bret Stephens complained about the tweet to Dave’s university boss.

Stephens has deactivated his Twitter account, calling the social media platform a “sewer.”

According to the Washington Post, Stephens is a conservative op-ed writer for the New York Times.

For What It’s Worth.

We are doing very well with China.

Farmers don’t think so.

I have spent a lot of time debunking these types of tweets, placing article after article under them that show, we are in fact not doing well with China.

China and the U.S., trade war are costing farmers their farms, costing the consumer more money for everyday items, and manufacturing companies such as John Deere earnings have fallen short, the CEO says, this is a result of farmers not purchasing new equipment in response to the trade war.

5 tweets later.

I have struggled with these pair of tweets.

I’m not sure what I can say or fact check about them.

Because honest, this is a pathetic attempt by our sitting President to deflect from his own failings as President, as a person.

As I said in the Owl…if you don’t want to be called a racist, it’s best not to act like a racist.

BBC News reported on Wednesday that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was requesting the Queen “suspend Parliament, in order to start a new parliamentary session.”

Prior to the Queens approving the request to “prorogues,” or suspend Parliament from no earlier than the 9th of September and no later than the 12th, until October 14th, UK lawmakers from both sides expressed outrage, as this suspension will leave less time for lawmakers to debate Brexit that happens on October 31st.

According to BBC News, House of Commons Speaker John Bercow as called the shut down an offense against the democratic process.

Shutting down Parliament would be an offence against the democratic process and the rights of Parliamentarians as the people’s elected representatives

Jeremy Corbyn the Labour Party leader plans to call a vote of confidence at some point.

I don’t want to Win for myself…

Says the man that shortly after he sent this tweet told Puerto Rico “I’m the best thing that’s ever happened,” to them.

I got nothing beyond you reap what you sow?

Everything Trump Touches Dies #ETTD?

Tile Tony on twitter shared this tweet it was true then it’s true now.

Says the man that declared “We are doing very well with China,” shortly before he once again attacked the Federal Reserve for not in fact doing enough to hold off the likely recession that is coming to help his re-election.

Consistency thy name is not President Donald Trump.

This post will be updated within reason.
