The“Crazy/Stupid” Republican of the Day blog usually can just make a daily post where we talk about a member of the GOP who has run for, held, or currently holds office who is a bit extreme or unhinged, and cover it in a few hundred words. Donald J. Trump, is beyond most Republicans, and has spent decades running to the media to say racist, sexist, bigoted, and completely ignorant things. We covered his downright selfish and narcissistic tendencies from the first 69 years of his life in our first deep dive of this series…
Donald Trump- Full Timeline Part One: The Beginnings to his Presidential Run
Our second look featured events taking place from Donald Trump announcing his candidacy for president, to accepting the GOP nomination at the 2016 Republican National Convention…
Donald Trump- Full Timeline Part Two: The Path to the 2016 Nomination
In our third chapter, we covered the absolutely bonkers final four months leading to Election Day 2016, including all the collusion:
Donald Trump- Full Timeline Part Three: The Final Run to Election Day 2016
In the fourth part in this series, where we discuss the Trump transition, a roughly three month period that any sane person who follows politics might have blocked out of their memory for the good of their own sanity.
Donald Trump- Full Timeline Part Four: The Trump Transition
We discuss a great deal of stupid and sometimes illegal things done as Trump prepared to go to Washington, D.C., as well as his assemblage of his “Cabinet of Horrors”.
Donald Trump- Full Timeline Part Five: The First 100 Days
From an anemic inauguration, to the initial panic of having a moron running the country, the first hundred days.
Our sixth and final chapter is now, as we discuss the Trump Administration from Days 101-200…
- April 30th, 2017: Trump posts another bizarre Twitter post, where he declares that Obamacare shouldn’t be compared to anything else because it’s “already dead”.
- May 1st, 2017: After in an interview with the Washington Examiner where Trump wonders out loud why the Civil War had to happen. For the third day in a row, Trump posts something bizarre on Twitter, furthering his day of exhibiting a poor grasp of history on display, writing , “President Andrew Jackson, who died 16 years before the Civil War started, saw it coming and was angry. Would never have let it happen!” Historians spend some time trying to unpack that, and then point out how stupid it is.
Donald Trump invites Rodrigo Duterte, the perhaps-just-as-crazy dictator running the Philippines for a state visit in spite of Duterte having utilized government forces to kill thousands of his own citizens in a “war on drugs”. Trump’s logic, though? He should come becaue “he has high approval numbers”. Because no one would only say they liked him for fear of being caught up in his purges.
The Trump Administration decides to discontinue Michelle Obama’s “Let Girls Learn” program, as well as her plan to combat childhood obesity, because he’s a spiteful ***hole.
- May 2nd, 2017: Trump, on Twitter, starts whining about the Senate filibuster, and demanding rules be changed so that all legislation passes by a simple majority of 51 votes. He also comments on how “Our country needs a good shutdown in September to fix this mess!” (Note: Republicans have control of the House, Senate, and White House. Choosing to shut down the government would be a disastrous political decision for them.)
- May 3rd, 2017: The Trump administration hires Steven Munoz at the State Department, even though there’s a report you can find about him via Google about how he was accused of sexual assault by five other students of The Citadel while he attended there.
- May 4th, 2017: The House GOP passes the American Healthcare Act, and Trump invites everyone from Congress to the White House to “brag” about the achievement, even though it is highly unpopular, and Trump wistfully reflect on how he’s actually the president, and he can’t believe it. This celebration is premature, of course, because the bill quickly dies in the Senate.
Trump, however, praises Australia’s universal healthcare system, earning wide mockery, including from Senator Bernie Sanders.
Trump also signs an executive order to allow tax-exempt churches to participate in politics, which is immediately challenged by the ACLU.
On Twitter, Trump again promotes conspiracy theories about Susan Rice and “unmasking” that have little to no basis in reality.
On a State Department Twitter account, the government agency starts plugging Ivanka Trump’s latest book, which is, again, illegal.
- May 5th, 2017: Another Trump pick, this time for Army Secretary, removes his name from the running, anti-LGBTQ Tennessee State Senator Mark Green.
- May 6th, 2017: The good news is, Trump doesn’t go to Mar-A-Lago for he weekend to play golf. He goes to his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, instead. On Twitter, he lies and claims this decision “saves money”. He spends most of the weekend ranting about “fake news” and their coverage of him, including on Fox News, where he say’s “I’m not against the media. I’m against the FAKE MEDIA.”
A Washington Post report emerges of members of Jared Kushner’s family speaking at a conference, unaware that the press is present, where they promise wealthy Chinese donors willing to donate $500,000 to their businesses to use their connections to the Trump administration to put them on a fast-track to get an immigration visa. After the report hits, the chalk it up to being just a “misunderstanding.”
- May 7th, 2017: On his Twitter, Donald Trump again tries to further a lie that after the DNC hack, the FBI asked to see their servers and the request was denied.
- May 8th, 2017: Prior to Sally Yates testifying about her dismissal as acting Attorney General, and how she tried to warn the Trump White House that General Michael Flynn had been compromised by the Russians, Trump gets on Twitter to insinuate she leaked secrets to the media, which, per some experts, could be construed as attempted witness intimidation and could get Trump hit with obstruction of justice charges at some point.
Also on Twitter, Trump again tries blaming the Obama Administration for bringing Michael Flynn on board (even though they let him go and warned Trump not to bring him back), and he also lies and claims former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper confirmed there was no evidence of collusion with Russia (Clapper said nothing of the sort in his testimony), and that the entire investigation is a “hoax”.
- May 9th, 2017: Trump fires FBI Director James Comey, for refusing to announce to the public that he is not under investigation for having ties to Russia. Comey learns this by watching a news report on a television screen reporting it while giving a speech in Los Angeles.
A CNN report reveals that federal investigators have issued subpoenas against several associates of Michael Flynn.
- May 10th, 2017: Trump meets with Russian envoys in the Oval Office, and leaks classified intelligence to them given to the United States by Israel about ISIS, jeopardizing the cover of Israeli intelligence operatives in the field. He also boasts to them about firing James Comey, calling him a “nut job”, because he thought it would put an end to the investigation into his campaign potentially colluding with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election. It does not end that investigation, it only increases the scrutiny, again showing Trump has a complete lack of self-awareness.
Trump continues fuming on Twitter, and starts attacking the service record of Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal, and about how he lied about his service in Vietnam. (Remember, Trump lied about having bone spurs in his feet to avoid going to Vietnam.)
In an interview with The Economist, Trump claims he invented the expression “prime the pump” (he didn’t, it has been around for over a century).
- May 11th, 2017: Trump is interviewed by MSNBC’s Lester Holt, and admits that it was his idea to fire FBI Director James Comey, contradicting all of the narratives coming out of the White House that he wasn’t involved.
Donald Trump also gives an exclusive interview with Time Magazine, boasting about how White House staff make him feel important by giving him “two scoops of ice cream when everyone else only gets one”. The president is a small child.
On Capitol Hill, Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe contradicts the notion being peddled by the White House that former Director Comey had lost the support of the men and women working at the Bureau.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in a daily presser, says that removing James Comey would help bring the Russia investigation “to a conclusion”.
- May 12th, 2017: Trump makes a bad situation worse when he gets on Twitter and posts, “James Comey better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!” This causes even more Watergate comparisons, because of President Nixon’s secret tapes, and makes people start speculating if Trump was recording his own stupidity on a day in, and day out basis. Also, it reads like it’s an attempt to intimidate a guy who will be a Congressional witness, so there’s obstruction of justice considerations.
Trump also floats the idea of cancelling daily press briefings by his Press Secretary.
Trump’s lawyers release a statement that says Trump only has “minimal” income from Russian sources, with only two exceptions listed. They do not, however, actually release the tax returns to prove this.
- May 13th, 2017: Trump gives his first commencement speech, ironically at the supposedly very religious Liberty University, where he proclaims, “In America, we don’t worship government, we worship GOD!” More intelligent observers point out that the government should be kept separate from religion, per the First Amendment.
- May 14th, 2017: Trump spends Mother’s Day where else? A golf course that he owns. His wife, Melania, spends Mother’s Day reading his shout-out to her on Twitter while taking care of his son. Truly, a doting husband.
- May 15th, 2017: Trump’s National Security Advisor, H.R. McMaster, denies Trump revealed any key intelligence to the visiting Russians in the Oval Office.
Trump’s long-time personal bodyguard, Keith Schiller, is photographed on the grounds of the White House carrying around a post-it note that quite conspicuously has the cell phone number for Secretary of Defense Mattis written on it in Sharpie.
- May 16th, 2017: On Twitter, Trump does not deny sharing Israeli intelligence with Russians in the Oval Office, and declares that he has the “absolute right” to do so. (The Israelis disagree. As does British Intelligence. H.R. McMaster slowly drags himself from under the bus Trump threw him under.)
Trump welcomes authoritarian dictator, Turkish Prime Minister Rycep Erdogan to the White House. Trump repeatedly mispronounces Erdogan’s name. He also makes no mention of Erdogan’s horrible record on human rights.
- May 17th, 2017: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein names former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate the Russian interference into the 2016 elections. Mueller starts assembling a murderer’s row of prosecutors who have taken town high-ranking mafia members, people who fund international terrorism, international money launderers, and people like Nixon, and businesses like Enron.
Trump speaks to the graduates of the Coast Guard Academy, and rather than let them revel in their own achievements, uses his commencement speech to start whine, “No other politician in history… has been treated worse or more unfairly.” (Pretty sure folks like Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, and Nelson Mandela would disagree.)
A report emerges that former FBI Director James Comey often wrote official memos of what was discussed when Donald Trump would contact him, including pressuring him to drop investigations into General Michael Flynn, and a suggestion to arrest journalists who publish information leaked from within the government.
A recording emerges from June of 2016 of a meeting of Republican Congressman where House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy stating his opinion that “There’s two people I think Putin pays… Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God.” House Speaker Paul Ryan shut down the topic before it could be discussed further. The GOP have shown they were aware of Trump collusion, and didn’t care.
- May 18th, 2017: In a joint press conference at the White House with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, Trump blows off accusations, saying, “There is no collusion. Russia is FINE.”
On Twitter, Trump again complains about “the greatest witch hunt on a politician in American history!” He also grouses about a special prosecutor being named to investigate him.
A Daily Beast report emerges that Trump “feels really bad” about firing General Michael Flynn, and wanted the Russia investigation to end in the hopes that he could HIRE HIM BACK. Jesus.
Another report emerges that Trump canceled a proposed trip to the ancient Jewish Temple of Masada during his upcoming visit to Israel because he didn’t want to walk to the site, and was annoyed Israeli authorities wouldn’t just let him land a helicopter on top of the fortress. Just… f***, man.
- May 19th, 2017: As Trump gets ready to leave for a nine-day overseas trip, word out of Congress is that a senior White House official is under investigation for trying to cover-up evidence in the Russia investigation. The conclusion is that this person is not Paul Manafort or Michael Flynn… because they are no longer in the administration, so… someone else is tied up.
Virtually everyone in the Trump White House starts lawyering up.
- May 20th, 2017: Trump’s international trip begins in Saudi Arabia, where he bizarrely brings American country music singer Toby Keith to perform for the Saudi royalty while they sat together in… wait for it… a golf cart. He then participates in a traditional Saudi sword dance (sort of?), and gives a speech written by others about the threat of terrorism. Trump keeps touting a $500 million arms deal he made with Saudi Arabia all through this weekend, because he’s such a good dealmaker. (Spoiler alert: That deal never passes the U.S. Senate.)
- May 21st, 2017: Trump’s second day in Saudi Arabia involves him posing for one of the strangest and most terrifying photo ops with Middle East leaders where they gather around… THE ORB. Comic book super-villains are more subtle than these guys.
- May 22nd, 2017: Trump is openly laughed at by the Israelis when he arrives there, trying to impress them by saying, “I was just in the Middle East.” (Where do you think Israel is, numb nuts?) This is after video of his arrival goes viral because he tries to hold First Lady Melania Trump’s hand and she slaps his away, clearly annoyed.
Back in the U.S., a report emerges that Trump asked two other senior intelligence chiefs to make public statements saying that he wasn’t under investigation by the FBI in the Russia investigation. They didn’t, probably because he was.
- May 23rd, 2017: Word hits the General Michael Flynn has plead the Fifth and will not cooperate with the Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation further.
Trump’s Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney, defends the Trump budget proposal that slashes almost all government assistance programs as “compassionate”.
Trump wraps up his visit to Israel, and flies to the Vatican to meet Pope Francis, who Trump has repeatedly insulted on Twitter.
- May 24th, 2017: Pope Francis always looks happy to meet world leaders. Donald Trump… not so much. Trump flies out for Brussels that night.
A New York Times report hits that U.S. intelligence intercepted communications showing that Russian intelligence were discussing all of the easy ways there are to push the buttons of advisors close to Trump.
Trump’s HUD Secretary Ben Carson is quoted in an interview as trivializing poverty as “a state of mind”. So that pick is still working out well…
- May 25th, 2017: Trump embarrasses our nation at the NATO conference in Brussels, not only seeming out of his element, but just coming off as a rude ***hole. In particular, the moment where Trump shoved the President of Montenegro out of his way to get in front for cameras is the low point. A close second is probably when he accuses all the other NATO nation members of “not paying what they should be paying” in the alliance. Oh, and new French President Emmanuel Marcon wasn’t having any of his handshake bulls***, and squeezed Trump’s tiny hands into dust.
CNN reports that Jeff Sessions’ security clearance forms all neglected to mention all of the meetings he had with Russians.
Reports hit that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is now a target of the FBI investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections.

On Twitter, Trump claims that “money has started to pour in” to NATO, because he’s trying to claim he intimidated the other countries in it to pay their share after his speech the previous day. THAT’S NOT EVEN HOW NATO WORKS, DONALD.
Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that U.S. Intelligence has communications where Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak discusses Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner was trying to set up a direct line of communication between the Trump transition and the Kremlin.
- May 27th, 2017: Still at the G7, Trump, a man who mocked other presidential candidates for “low energy” and “low stamina”, cannot keep up with other world leaders walking through Sicily, and asks for a golf cart to follow behind them in. Before returning from Italy, Trump speaks to a group of Naval Airmen there, where he declares his trip a “home run”, and continues lying and claiming that after his tough talk in Brussels that “money is pouring into NATO”.
- May 28th, 2017: Trump goes on a Tweetstorm, complaining again about “FAKE NEWS”, and “leaks” while declaring “Obamacare is dead”. More of the same, really.
After only a few days of seeing Donald Trump in action in Brussels and in Italy at the G-7, a frustrated German Chancellor Angela Merkel states her honest opinion that “Europe can no longer depend on the United States”.
North Korea, meanwhile, launches a third intercontinental ballistic missile in the past fortnight.
- May 29th, 2017: During Memorial Day celebrations, normally a somber affair, Trump makes a fool of himself by trying to sing along to the National Anthem. We say “try” since there are verses he seems to skip, apparently because he doesn’t know all the words.

A Newsweek report reveals that half of the people who supposedly subscribe to Trump’s Twitter account are bots and fake accounts.
- May 31st, 2017: At 12:06 AM, Trump, on Twitter posts, “Despite all the negative press covfefe”. The internet explodes in mockery, as nothing else emerges to explain the mystery word for hours. The next morning, in the daily presser, Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer refuses to admit the bumbling Trump wrote a typo with “covfefe”, and instead claims that “the President knows what he meant”.
Outside of “covfefe”, Trump still flipped out on Twitter, complaining about the Russia investigation being “a witch hunt”, while defending Carter Page and attacking both James Comey and now, former CIA Director John Brennan.
Meanwhile, it isn’t just General Michael Flynn getting slapped with subpoenas, a now Trump lawyer Michael Cohen finds himself subpoenaed as well.
- June 1st, 2017: Trump announces he is pulling the United States out of the Paris Climate Accords, to the disgust of virtually every world leader. (The only other countries that didn’t agree were Nicaragua, because it’s not firm enough, and Syria, because they’re sort of busy with a civil war.) He says “I was elected to represent Pittsburgh, not Paris.” The Mayor of Pittsburgh then weighs into criticize Trump’s decision, as well.
Hurricane Season begins. Trump has yet to hire on someone to lead FEMA or NOAA. And the Trump budget wants to cut the budget for the National Hurricane Center by $114 million.

- June 7th, 2017: Against the advice of most of the White House, Trump picks Christopher Wray, the man who served as lawyer to Chris Christie during Bridgegate, to be the next head of the FBI. He announces the pick early in the morning on Twitter before anyone in the White House knows it’s coming.
Trump’s approval rating hit a new low of 34%.
- June 8th, 2017: James Comey testifies before Congress, wisely releasing the content of the memos he took about his meetings and phone calls with Donald Trump prior to taking the stand. While he cannot comment on much of his investigation into Russian interference, because it is classified, he does paint quite the picture that Donald Trump was trying to influence the investigation.
- June 9th, 2017: Trump hosts a press conference where he claims James Comey is a “leaker” and that he lied under oath (he didn’t), and boasts that he will “100 percent” testify under oath (he apparently won’t ever do that).
Trump, of course, also responds to James Comey’s testimony on Twitter by claiming Comey’s testimony amounted to “LEAKS”.
Oh, and he managed to contradict his own Secretary of State’s policies on Qatar within hours of Rex Tillerson having made them.

- June 12th, 2017: Trump assembles his entire Cabinet of Horrors to have a meeting in front of the media, which amounts to all of them taking turns praising the egocentric man-child serving as commander-in-chief.

The Washington, D.C. Attorney General and Maryland Attorney General both file lawsuits against Donald Trump for violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.
- June 13th, 2017: A longtime Trump ally, Chris Ruddy, tells the media that Donald Trump is thinking about firing special counsel Robert Mueller to stop the Russia investigation, but is being talked out of doing so, correctly, by his own lawyers.
Word emerges as well that Trump is calling the American Healthcare Act, which he celebrated only weeks earlier before it stalled in the Senate as “mean” and “a son of a bitch”. House Republicans are baffled by his sudden disgust with a bill he lobbied them to vote for.
Trump’s ICE agents begin working to deport Iraqi Christians who fled to the United States, and deporting them back could result in their deaths.
On Twitter, Trump declares that “Obamacare is in a death spiral” (it isn’t), and keeps demanding that the “fake media” give him an apology.

- June 16th, 2017: Trump chooses to undo much of the foreign policy of the Obama administration on Cuba, for… reasons that we’re sure have nothing do to with him simply just being spiteful or contradictory to the 44th president.
Trump also promises not to deport DREAMers. (He’s going to break this promise within a few weeks.)
On Twitter, Trump again rants for several posts about the Russia investigation, but seems rather confused about what’s happening as he writes, “I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt”. We will note, however, that this is the first time Trump has confirmed that he is under direct investigation.
- June 17th, 2017: Trump goes to spend the entire weekend at Camp David.
- June 18th, 2017: Trump spends the day patting himself on the back on Twitter about great accomplishments he’s made, that actually aren’t his.

Trump stays up late to point to the scoreboard as “5-0” in all the special elections to replace his Cabinet members. People much smarter can note that all of these races were far closer than they should have been in safe GOP districts with immense conservative leans, and it does not bode well for Republicans in the 2018 mid-terms.)
Steve Bannon gets asked why the White House press briefings were changed to off-camera, and he says, “Sean (Spicer) got fatter.”
- June 21st, 2017: Trump goes to Iowa to host a rally, where he babbles about his border wall, and says he had the brilliant idea to put solar panels on the top of so it “pays for itself”. He is an idiot, and anyone who believes him is, too.

In a later Twitter post that is much more likely to have been written by Trump, he starts blaming the Obama administration for not stopping the Russians from hacking the election. On the upside, at least he’s stopped denying the Russians did it.
- June 23rd, 2017: Trump, in an interview with Fox News, reaffirms there are no tapes of him talking to James Comey, and starts rambling about how it was “smart” of him to lie about it to potentially influence Comey’s Congressional testimony.

- June 24th, 2017: Trump, seemingly desperate on Twitter, seems as though he’s trying to divert his guilt over having ties to Russia onto President Obama even farther, writing, “Since the Obama Administration was told way before the 2016 Election that the Russians were meddling, why no action? Focus on them, not T!“
- June 25th, 2017: Trump continues to be bats*** insane on Twitter, accusing Hillary Clinton of “colluding with the Democratic Party” to beat Bernie Sanders, which indicates he doesn’t understand what the word collude even means.

But we’re getting very close. This will be great if we get it done, and if we don’t get it done, it’s just going to be something that we’re not going to like and that’s OK and I understand that very well. But I think we have a chance to do something very, very important for the public, very, very important for the people of our country that we love." (He has no idea what he’s talking about.)
Paul Manafort retroactively registers as a foreign agent for the work he did in Ukraine.
Several Trump properties around the country are discovered to have prominently displayed copies of Time Magazine with Donald Trump on the cover. The problem with that is that they’re not the time he actually was on the cover, and are fakes he made to appear more important than he is.
- June 28th, 2017: Trump complains on Twitter about how Amazon (whose owner also owns the Washington Post) “doesn’t pay internet taxes”. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INTERNET TAXES, DONALD. Therefore, you can’t complain that they don’t pay them.

- June 29th, 2017: Trump cannot let a thing go. He gets on Twitter to go on a rant against Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinkski, calling the former “psycho” and claiming the latter wanted to come to Mar-A-Lago on New Year’s Eve but he wouldn’t let her because “she was bleeding badly from a face lift”. Scarborough and Brzezinkski were going to be leaving for a vacation, but when on air anyway to address the president’s insanity, and that they were warned by friends of Scarborough’s who are still in Congress that Trump would lose focus during meetings and mention the duo, eventually turning bright red and shaking in impotent rage.
Meanwhile, Trump’s voting commission “expert”, all around racist, xenophobic s***heel Kris Kobach wrote a letter to every state in the nation, asking for them to submit their voter rolls with detailed information about all voters including their voting history and the last four digits of their social security number.

A Wall Street Journal investigation interviews former Trump campaign operative Peter Smith, who apparently admits to having tried to contact Russian hackers for help in finding Hillary Clinton’s missing e-mails from when she worked at the State Department.
- June 30th, 2017: On Twitter, Trump posts about how the Senate should vote to just repeal the Affordable Care Act and eventually replace it with something later. Various Republican Senators scoff at the idea, as it amounts to political suicide.
Trump also lies and claims Joe Scarborough personally called him to get a negative story about him pulled from the National Enquirer. Meanwhile, it gets revealed that Jared Kushner made the phone call to Scarborough to try and blackmail him about that Enquirer story.
The White House allows the Council on Women and Girls to just fade away from existence, because they don’t care about women or girls.
- July 1st, 2017: Trump speaks at a rally that is supposed to honor veterans and celebrate Independence Day, but instead, makes it about his rivalry with the press, saying, “The fake media tried to stop us from going to the White House. But I’m president and they’re not.”
On Twitter, he continues rambling about non-existent “voter fraud”, and comes up with the conspiracy theory that Greta von Sustern was fired from MSNBC not for low ratings for her program, but that she refused to go along with “Trump hate”. Oh, and as more and more calls come from both the left and right for him to stop using social media so much and embarrassing himself so much, Trump refuses and posts that his insanity is “MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL”. He is not well.
Trump places a phone call to Chinese President Xi Jinping, asking for him to do something to stop North Korea’s missile launches. Note all of the times Trump has insulted China or violated the agreement to not acknowledge Taiwan, and ask yourselves why they aren’t rushing to do so on Trump’s behalf.
- July 2nd, 2017: From the presidential Twitter account, Trump publishes a doctored video of his brief WWE career, where the CNN logo is superimposed over the face of Vince McMahon as Trump attacks the avatar of the network. Criticism grows that Trump is, in effect, calling for his supporters to literally attack the press. Please note, the video is generated by a Reddit User with an extensive history of racist and bigoted posts, so you have to wonder where the president is hanging out online to find such a thing.
Protests against Trump continue, with many calling for his impeachment.
- July 3rd, 2017: Exiting Air Force One, Trump gets lost and is unable to find his limo as he deplanes. It is parked LITERALLY RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.
Trump mocks North Korea after they launch another missile, and pressures China and Japan to do something about it on his Twitter account.
However, China, already less than thrilled with Trump, is further less inclined to intervene on North Korea after Trump has our military by sending a U.S. Destroyer near the Chinese-controlled Triton Island.
Long story short, this is not how diplomacy should be done.
- July 4th, 2017: Trump tweets a link to a Texas choir performing a song titled “Make America Great Again”, and chills run down the spine of anyone who hates fascist propaganda. He also lies and claims “gas prices are the cheapest they have been in ten years” (they’re not, they were even as much as $0.18 cheaper a year prior and at the start of 2016, were under $2 a gallon).
- July 5th, 2017: Trump gets ready to leave for a stop in Poland prior to the G20 Summit, and word out of the White House is aides are trying to prepare him for meeting with other world leaders by giving him “Tweet-length briefs”, because he can’t focus for more than 140 characters.
Trump also posts on Twitter, “Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!”
We reiterate, this is not how foreign policy should be conducted.
- July 6th, 2017: Trump, in Poland, becomes the first president since 1989 to skip a visit while there to the Warsaw Ghetto to remember the Holocaust. Surely just another coincidence and not another mark on a long list of anti-Semitic decisions. Trump delivers a speech written by Stephen Miller that appeals to Poland’s own nationalist movement, gets lost on stage and actually wanders out confused from behind the bulletproof glass set to protect him, and also starts making statements that indicate he doubts Russia was conclusively behind interference in the 2016 elections, but even though it may not have happened, it’s Obama’s fault for “doing nothing about it”.
Back in Washington, D.C., the Office of Government Ethics Director, Walter Shaub, resigns, because he’s just plain tired of arguing with the Trump administration about all of their ethical lapses that they don’t care about, and he’s not empowered to do more to stop.
- July 7th, 2017: Trump is in Germany for the G20 Summit, and when he should be worried about talking about discussions with world leaders, he’s actually still hung up on the Russia investigation, and double standards about it he imagines. On Twitter, he posts, “Everyone here is talking about why John Podesta refused to give the DNC server to the FBI and the CIA. Disgraceful!” He actually gets a response from John Podesta, who points out that the FBI and CIA never asked him for anything, and even if they had, Podesta himself never had access to the DNC server, so why the hell would they ask him for it? Well, Donald Trump is a delusional ***hole. Anyway, the rest of the day…
Trump has the majority of other world leaders shunning him, as evidenced in several photos, and it would later be discovered that the First Lady of Japan pretended to not know how to speak English so she didn’t have to talk to the marmalade sex pest.
The one exception to this, OF COURSE, is Vladimir Putin, who Trump met with twice privately, once without any other members of his staff. And Trump confronted Putin about interfering in the 2016 elections… by asking him if he did it. TWICE. In different ways. But he didn’t want to ask much more than that because it could have caused “a fist fight”. And Putin lying to Trump’s face twice is enough to convince him, and he takes Putin’s word over that of the entire American intelligence committee.
- July 8th, 2017: News breaks for the first time that Donald Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort all met with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in the build-up to the 2016 elections.
Back at the G20, Donald Trump is tired and bored, so he sent his daughter Invanka to sit in for him on matters of international diplomacy based on her resume of selling crappy knockoff designer shoes.
- July 9th, 2017: Trump is laughed at by both sides of the aisle, when on Twitter, he brags about he and Vladimir Putin talked about creating “an impenetrable cyber security unit” together. Which is like starting a fire prevention bureau with a pyromaniac arsonist.
Donald Trump Jr., meanwhile, goes on all the Sunday morning shows, and tries downplaying his conversations with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, claiming that they were only going to discussion adopting Russian babies after finding a way to lift the Magnitsky Act. However, it seems to be that Junior was promised “dirt” on Hillary Clinton by the man who arranged the meeting, Rob Goldstone.
- July 10th, 2017: The ACLU files a lawsuit against Donald Trump and Mike Pence’s “Election Integrity Commission”.
On Twitter, Trump again accuses former FBI Director James Comey of “leaking CLASSIFIED INFORMATION to the media!” Oh, that and he defended leaving Ivanka Trump in his stead at the G20 Conference, claiming Angela Merkel said it was normal, and accusing the public of a double standard, because people would have been thrilled if Hillary Clinton had left Chelsea Clinton in her place (LOL. Yeah, no.)
- July 11th, 2017: Hours before the New York Times was going to go to press about Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russians in Trump Tower, Donald Trump, Jr. releases an e-mail chain from within the Trump campaign showing that he knew the Russian government was interfering in the 2016 elections, and so did Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort. His response to the Russians wanting to aid his father’s chances of winning? “I love it.” Trump Jr. tries claiming this act means he was “being transparent”, even though he had been denying Russian collusion happened for over a year.
Trump has White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders comment on Donald Jr. by reading a statement about how Trump applauded his son’s “transparency” and thought of his son as “a quality person”, like he’s a piece of furniture or something.
A Detroit judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempts to deport 1,400 Iraqi refugees, many of them Christian.
- July 12th, 2017: In a White House interview, Donald Trump defends his son colluding with Russians in the 2016 elections, insisting that anyone would have taken that meeting.

Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman files articles of impeachment against Donald Trump.
- July 13th, 2017: Trump goes to Paris to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron, and causes a bit of a stir when he starts creeping on French First Lady Brigitte Macron, remarking on her figure and how she “is in great shape” in front of not only her husband, but in front of his own wife, Melania.
Back in the United States, former Trump campaign operative Peter Smith, who sought out Russian hackers like Guccifier 2.0 to try and find Hillary Clinton’s missing e-mails mysteriously commits suicide.
Trump’s lawyer, Mark Kasowitz, loses it and gets into a profane e-mail exchange where he threatened a former public relations official who advised him to drop Trump as a client.
The CBO releases its rating of the proposed Trump budget, and reports it would do nothing to cut the current budget $720 billion deficit.
- July 14th, 2017: Trump dines at the Eiffel Tower with Emmanuel Macron, claiming that “thousands and thousands” of people came out to see him. The French media show photos of the crowd below, which numbered only in the hundreds, and were, by large majority, people protesting against Trump. The only record Trump sets is a new personal best for awkward handshakes.
Russian-American lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin confirms that Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya left documents with the Trump campaign after her meeting with Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner.
Trump hires another lawyer, Ty Cobb (not the racist baseball player), to add to his legal team.
- July 15th, 2017: Trump goes to his Bedminster, New Jersey resort to watch the U.S. Women’s open. Because there aren’t more pressing things happening, like the GOP Senate trying to pass the BCRA to repeal the Affordable Care Act, or a foreign policy crisis developing in North Korea.
Online, Trump whines about how unfair it is that the media are roasting his son over colluding with Russia, but didn’t do anything about “Hillary’s 33,000 e-mails”. (Ironically, that’s what the intel the Russians gave his son was, and the media did report on it quite a bit.)
- July 16th, 2017: At the six month mark of his presidency, Trump’s approval ratings hit a record low, the lowest since presidential approval polls were created at 36%, down six percent from where it was at the 100-day mark.
Trump’s lawyer, Jay Sekulow, goes on the Sunday morning talk shows to give several contradictory statements about Donald Trump, Jr. having admitted to colluding with Russians, the worst of which is when he asks if the Russians were working for the Russian government, “Why would the Secret Service allow such a meeting?” The easy answer? The Secret Service, responds that at the time, were not even protecting Donald Trump, Jr.
- July 17th, 2017: On Twitter, Trump again claims “most politicians” would have taken the meeting that his son did, summing up with, “That’s politics!”
Ten days after he resigned, the Trump White House has a spokeswoman release an insulting statement about former Office of Government Ethics Director Walter Shaub that misspells his name, and accuses him of “grandstanding and lobbying”. “Thank you for your service, Walter,” would have been the professional response, of course.
- July 18th, 2017: After another attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act fails, Trump gave an inspiring Republican strategy… Blame Democrats, saying, “We’re not going to own it. I’m not going to own it. I can tell you the Republicans are not going to own it. In ’18, we’re going to have to get some more people elected. We have to go out and get more people elected that are Republicans.” He goes a step further on Twitter, saying Republicans will “let Obamacare fail” (it’s not perfect, but it actually is a success). In a post that shows he doesn’t understand how the Senate works, he claims “Democrats control it” even though Republicans hold a majority, and calls for an end to the filibuster even though the BRCA only required a simple majority vote.
An eighth person was identified in Donald Trump, Jr.’s Trump Tower meeting with the Russians, who just so happens to have been investigated in a Russian money-laundering scheme previously.
As news reports surface about Trump going out of his way to have undisclosed meetings with Vladimir Putin at the G20 Conference, he of course insists it’s “fake news”.
- July 19th, 2017: On Twitter, Trump claims the Senate GOP is being secretive about what’s in their healthcare package because “it’s too good” and the Democrats are “screaming death as OCare dies!”

- July 20th, 2017: In a New York Times interview, Donald Trump starts insulting his own Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, saying that he wouldn’t have nominated him if he knew that Sessions would recuse himself in the Russia investigation. He also tried explaining away his super-awkward handshake with Emmanuel Macron, saying, “He likes to hold my hand.” (???)
Behind the scenes at the White House, reports emerge that Donald Trump has begun asking his lawyers how he would go about pardoning his staff, his family members, or even HIMSELF.

- July 22nd, 2017: Trump gets on Twitter to rant about “LEAKS” regarding the story about Jeff Sessions talking the Trump campaign with Sergey Kislyak. He soon started flailing further, demanding Jeff Sessions and Robert Mueller should launch investigations into Hillary Clinton. In a screed borne of complete desperation, Trump writes about Hillary Clinton’s supposed “ties to Russia”. Because it makes sense that the Russians rewarded Hillary by helping hack her political party, spread fake news articles smearing her, and assure she’d lose the election, right? (No, it doesn’t.) His panicked Tweetstorm also features Trump boasting of his “complete power to pardon”.
With Trump’s vocal displeasure, a bipartisan effort in the House and Senate begins to create new sanctions against Russia for interfering in the 2016 elections. They eventually pass with only two “no” votes in the Senate, and three in the U.S. House.
- July 23rd, 2017: Trump again whines about the “witch hunt” on Twitter, but in a more telling post, he complains about “Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President.”
- July 24th, 2017: Trump, confused during a rambling speech, gripes about Obamacare having been in place for “17 years”, which is really impressive how Obama got it put in place prior to 9-11 then. He goes on to make a veiled threat towards any Republicans who don’t to the party line and vote for the repeal. While posing for a photo with White House interns, a female reporter asks Trump if he wants to comment on the GOP’s healthcare plan and he answers, “QUIET.”
Trump’s nominee to lead the Criminal Justice Division of the Department of Justice, Ben Benczkowski, has, what else? Ties to Russian Banks. (Side note: We’re almost 200 days into the Trump administration, and he still hasn’t hired this spot? The hell?)
Jared Kushner testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee in a closed door hearing, insisting he “did not collude” with the Russians.
- July 25th, 2017: Trump, on Twitter, posts that Jared Kushner “proved” he didn’t collude in his closed door testimony, then seemed to suggest that investigators would soon be calling his son Barron to testify. He also starts linking to Sean Hannity, seemingly asking the embattled Fox host to help manufacture outrage over his invented conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton’s campaign was working with Ukranians (they didn’t, but if they did, Ukraine still didn’t interfere in our elections). Oh, and he kept badmouthing Jeff Sessions for not investigating Hillary Clinton enough.
Trump flies out to give an unhinged speech at the Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, where he encourages young boys to boo Hillary Clinton and former President Obama, while telling them an anecdote about a rich friend of his who got a yacht and alluded to him having orgies on it. The Boy Scouts of America are forced to give an apology to parents for the president’s remarks after outrage leads many parents to pull their kids out of the organization. Well, that and they knew he sure as hell wouldn’t apologize.
Paul Manafort testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee, turning over all the notes he says he has in regards to the meeting with Russian lawyers at Trump Tower.

The Pentagon actually were freaked out by this not just for the policy implications, but after the first Twitter post, they were terrified that Trump was going to announce a policy shift on North Korea without consulting them. Oh, and Trump starts trying to bully Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski to change her vote on healthcare.
Trump picks David Apol to replace Walter Shaub as the head of the Office of Government Ethics, and much like the majority of other Trump appointees, he has spent much of his career arguing against the goals of the agency he is being hired to run.

- July 28th, 2017: Reports emerge that Donald Trump wants to replace White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus with “a general”, and within hours, Trump announces he has named General John Kelly to the position… Reince Preibus finds out while deplaning with other White House Staff from Trump’s Twitter Post.
Trump whines on Twitter about the GOP not being able to pass a repeal of the Affordable Care Act after a dramatic “no vote” comes down from Sen. John McCain defeats the attempt, 51-49.

- July 29th, 2017: Trump conducts foreign policy on Twitter again, expressing that he is “disappointed with China” on how the conflict with North Korea is going. On the domestic side, from Twitter, Trump threatened to stop making payments to insurance companies if Democrats did not cooperate and go along with another attempt to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. In layman’s terms, “If you don’t help me kill this hostage, I swear I’ll shoot them.”
Speaking at a gathering of police officers in Brentwood, New York, Trump tells the cops to “not be too nice” and proceeds to give them permission to not protect suspect’s heads while they’re being lowered into “paddy wagons” which is also considered an offensive term by a lot of the Irish, while we’re at it.
- July 30th, 2017: China responds to Trump’s comments from the previous day, and pretty much told him to quit throwing them under the bus and accept some responsibility.

Word leaks out that Jared Kushner told the White House interns that the Trump campaign could not have colluded with Russia because they are “too disorganized”. You’re reading that right, his defense against the crime is they’re not capable of being smart enough to have tied their own shoes to have done it.
As Trump puts it on Twitter, “A great day at the White House!” A poll comes out that shows 60% of Americans believe the Trump White House is in chaos.
- August 1st, 2017: A report emerges that Donald Trump himself helped write Donald Jr.’s statement claiming his meeting with the Russians was about undoing the Magnitsky Act. (Way to get involved in a coverup, Donald!) Sarah Huckabee Sanders even confirms the president had his hands on it.
- August 2nd, 2017: Trump’s Approval Rating drops to a new low, 33%. To try to win back the love of his quickly departing base, Trump gets himself lathered up over the highly xenophobic RAISE Act, an anti-immigrant bill that would cut LEGAL immigration in half, and start taking in immigrants based on a “merit system”, where you get moved up in line if you’re white, speak English, and have improbably high education standards. It has zero chance of getting past the Senate, possibly without even the Democrats having to use a filibuster to stop it.
Meanwhile, 8 witnesses at a Trump golf course recall him being asked why he spends so little time at the White House, and so much at his golf clubs, and he replies that the White House “is a dump”. On Twitter, Trump responds that he never said that. (Like all the other times he denies having said something, he almost definitely said it.)
At the White House itself, new White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders passes the mic to Stephen Miller, a 31 year old Alt-Right hate hobgoblin who tries defending the RAISE Act, and gets into an insane confrontation with CNN’S Jim Acosta where he claims that the Statue of Liberty was never a beacon to immigrants, and the poem about them was only “added later”.
- August 3rd, 2017: Trump’s White House has a leak that sends out full transcripts of his talks with Mexican President Enrique Nieto and Australian PM Malcolm Turnbull. Congressional members from New Hampshire take exception to the part where Trump referred to their state as a “drug-infested den”.

- August 5th, 2017: Trump goes on vacation at his Bedminster, New Jersey Golf Course.
A Trump supporter named “Nicole” thanks Donald Trump for being so great on his Twitter account, and he re-Tweets her message and thanks her back. Astute observers then note “Nicole” is not a real person, but a stock photo model. And they notice all of Nicole’s friends are stock photos. Eventually, the account is eventually traced back to a company that sells Trump merchandise. For a guy who complains about “FAKE NEWS” he sure appreciates support from fake people.
- August 6th, 2017: Kayleigh McEnany, a Former Trump surrogate on CNN, turns up in as she calls it “the real news”, where she reports only pro-Trump stories. Media experts take notice, because this is Trump sponsoring his own state-run media, and is apparently using his 2020 campaign fund to pay for it.
- August 7th, 2017: After rain keeps Donald Trump off the links, he spends almost the whole day on Twitter, with much of it spent on attacking Democratic Richard Blumenthal for being dishonest about serving during Vietnam.

- August 8th, 2017: A VICE News report comes out that twice a day, Donald Trump insists on being presented with photos of himself where he looks heroic, and is presented with flattering letters and compliments from followers.
From his Bedminster golf club, in what is supposed to be an open meeting with the press to discuss the opioid crisis, Trump, with his arms crossed, declares that North Korea will face “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if they continue to make threats. Oh, and as far as the opioid crisis goes? Trump ignored the advice of his advisors and said he wouldn’t call it a national emergency.
We hope there are more days to keep track of, and the sack of dead skin and rotten tangerines in the Oval Office doesn’t end us all. We’ll settle for that, but secretly hope his time in prison is in the future.
