A few days ago Trump said Mueller was an honourable man. Yesterday he called the report crazy and called all the witnesses, who gave evidence under oath with the risk of going to jail, liars, traitors and much more. Sarah Sanders, the Press Secretary, said her words about the FBI and Comey were a slip of the tongue. The fact that it slipped multiple times over the course of several days seemed to escape her. On the Today programme they interviewed Popodopolis who had been jailed for lying to Mueller. When he was asked why he lied he said he hadn't, he had simply misremembered something.
Meanwhile amongst all that chaos, Trump telephoned the General who is trying to take over Libya from the UN backed government and promised his full support. This was just after Putin had done the same thing. This snippet of news, foreign policy (what policy?) gone mad, was buried underneath everything else that was going on this week. Speak up Europe and the UN and condemn Trump for such a stupid act.
Speak up Republicans and restore faith in your party.
Back in the UK I was hoping for a middle ground party to take control in the wake of the awful Labour and Conservatives but what did we get? Nigel Farage.
In France the yellow vests are indignant that wealthy families and businesses in France found billions of Euros for the repairs to Notre Dame while the population is suffering from rising prices and jobless figures. However as a result of the protests the Government is sending out cheques to about 5 million of the poorest people to help with their gas and electricity bills. 48€ won't go far but it is a gesture and not to be sniffed at, especially as the UK took my winter fuel allowance away.
Yesterday in Saumur I was chased out of a cafe by a waiter because I had used their toilet. It took him some time to realise I was a customer but an apology was not forthcoming.
