Loose Ends (23)

Been away this weekend, one part of which included hosting Rudy Giuliani at a Pacific Research Institute dinner in Laguna Niguel down in deepest orange Orange County. Among other topics, the mayor talked about what it is like to play golf with both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump (to no one’s great surprise, Clinton cheats relentlessly on the links). I also asked him if Trump’s tweeting could’t be reined in—can’t Jared or Ivanka take his phone away? Giuliani agreed that Trump’s impulsive tweets are a problem but said taking his phone away wouldn’t work for a simple reason: “He has more than one phone.” Sounds rather like an alcoholic who has bottles stashed around the house.

Which leads to this Tweet of the Day:
