He can’t make it clearer than this. He has no interest in being president of the whole country.
Sad!

Buster Keaton studio
I strongly recommend the great Keaton Blu-rays issued by Kino Lorber. Start with The General or Steamboat Bill, Jr.
The films are silent but the comedy is timeless.
This links to a great stunt from Steamboat Bill, Jr. It was real, not CGI.
There’s a fine collection of his short films. I recommend ‘One Week’ about building a house from a kit and ‘Cops’ which is shows Buster being chased by cops.
Covers: Proud Mary
“Proud Mary” was a hit record for Creedence Clearwater Revival in 1969. The cover by Ike and Tina Turner from 1970 is much faster (after an intentionally slow start) and was also popular.

Trump pal Roger Stone met with a Russian
Yet another undisclosed meeting between someone in Trump’s campaign and a Russian. As this article notes “… at least 11 Trump associates or campaign officials have acknowledged interactions with a Russian during the election season or presidential transition. Those interactions have become public in the year and a half since a Trump spokeswoman said no one associated with the campaign had communications with Russians or other foreign entities.”
They lied!
Sad!

Trump’s lies on Friday
Trump spoke to Fox News and then to other reporters. As usual, he lied and lied. Reporters are getting more active in challenging the lies as Trump gets worse and worse.
He said the IG report exonerated him – that’s a lie
He keeps blaming Democrats for his policy of separating parents from children at the border – that’s a lie
He said Manafort had nothing to do with his campaign and worked for him briefly – that’s a lie
He said maybe Flynn didn’t lie – that’s a lie
He said he solved the North Korea nuclear problem – that’s a lie
Don Lemon on CNN does an excellent job of calling a lie a lie.
