A President's Week In One Sentence

I couldn't make this up if I tried.

President Trump defended son-in-law Jared Kushner after it was revealed that he tried to set up a secret line of communication with the Kremlin; went to Italy for the G-7 summit meeting of seven major world leaders, where he wouldn't join a consensus about the Paris climate deal; congratulated Greg Gianforte, who was charged with misdemeanor assault after body-slamming a reporter, on his "great win" in Montana's special election; attacked the media and its use of anonymous sources (again); retweeted a Fox News story that relied on just one anonymous source; tweeted that the U.S.' trade deficit with Germany is "very bad" and "will change"; shamed Kathy Griffin for scaring his son, Barron, when she posted a video that depicted her holding Trump's severed head; made "covfefe" a thing; announced that the White House would no longer take questions about Russia via his press secretary; defended Carter Page, whom his aides have repeatedly said he doesn't know; is still considering banning laptops on international flights; broke a campaign promise by allowing the U.S. embassy in Israel to remain in Tel Aviv; asked the Supreme Court to reinstate his travel ban; and abandoned the groundbreaking Paris climate accord.

OMG! What a week.
Breath, but not too deeply as the skies fill with coal dust and carbon emissions.
