1 hr. ago, By Dana Bash, CNN

President Donald Trump has been urged to stop tweeting about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump's top advisers and several Russians, a source familiar with discussions tells CNN.

The President was advised that his tweeting only gives oxygen to the topic, even if those around Trump do not believe there is any truly new development.

Let's all encourage him/it:
- Don Jr. says that you will cover his ass if necessary.
- Hope Hicks isn't your favorite daughter/grope.
- Vlad said you are best in the dromedary position.
- You actually know the price of milk/bread in a grocery store.
- You only snort coke/speed when really necessary.
- You have so much money that the IRS computers can't even figure it out.
- Do you know how to make your own cheeseburger?

compelled to say he knew nothing about it? For all the lying he does, it's remarkable how terrible he is at it.

Watching trump squirm desperately trying to CONvince people he and everyone around him are innocent and decent people after embracing racists, intentionally hurting children and putting them into cages, committing treason , election fraud, and a list of corrupt criminal actions , and lying almost non stop , and claim he and his followers are the victims. He's like a political ponzi schemer who still thinks he can get away with everything he's done. What he's doing now is dragging the KGOP down to hell with him. Elections are their consequences , so vote them out of office ,especially ones claiming putin and russia are our friends. Those people are hiding what the russians have on then now to compromise them with.

The stream of leaks is almost constant. One wonders if those around him are actually working for him or working as babysitters trying to keep him from having one of his tantrums and throwing his toys.
