    I have never seen this woman tweet on Politics, usually it's historical crime stories, folklore, cultural history, like that:

    Grifters arrive at the capital city of an Emperor who spends lavishly at the expense of state matters. Posing as 'advisers', they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are stupid or incompetent. 1/5 #HansChristianAndersenKnew pic.twitter.com/pISrn2B5ob

    She marked it 1 of 5 but I don't see anything but this one so far. Edit to add:I see that she's adding the rest of the story right now. (& Hans' shoemaking elves showed up to finish it overnight)

    It doesn't take a lot of hair styling to read a script playing the character of a successful businessman:

    Of course his tax attorneys would argue that the usually-somewhat-wack blond ducktail is his brand

    more fairy tales, but nightmarish ones of wicked witches after little bitty children:

    Sessions killed Russia probe after all

    "Russians? What Russians?", lied Trump

    Facebook fluke kept it open thanks to a couple hard-working and curious FBI agents

    Even Mueller pushes back on this story - but then again he didn't get the goods, did he. Maybe Rosenstein picked him for the kind of player he'd be - good credentials, but too much a play-by-all-the-rules company man, not a bulldog, despite all the gushing reviews.

    And Trump likes overtly breaking every single rule he can. By breakfast. Boy Scouts meet Lucky Luciano.

     Trump likes overtly breaking every single rule he can. He does, doesn't he? Even Mary Trump has described him that way as a young man. He's also proud of it, it's the part of his personality he likes to promote.
