The Morning After

As I'm writing, at about 10.25 a.m. Monday morning, the president still hasn't tweeted about Stormy, or shown any reaction to last night's interview. He did tweet this out, including the (correctly spelled!) word "voluminous"


You know he really wants to blast Stormy to smithereens but someone (Ivanka? Melania? John Kelly?) has effectively restrained him on that subject, at least so far. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation. 

He also hasn't done anything drastic to distract from the story, but hey, it's early.

In the meantime, look at this seriously unpleasant picture of the president, which I believe was taken yesterday. (You can see a larger version here.) In previous posts I've said that he looks tired, overwhelmed and every day of his 71 years. He still does, along with now, possibly, a tiny bit fearful of what may be coming down the pike. (Actuarial note: the president turns 72 in 80 days.)
