OK, so our quote-of-the-day from from the pool report this morning (“I don’t have temper tantrums!”) was pretty great and so I looked at some of the media people I follow on the Twatter to see what other nutty things the MHSG said before taking off for his border photo-op, and boy-howdy, he musta been snorting Adderall all night:

“When I said Mexico will pay for the wall in front of thousands and thousands of people, obviously they’re not going to write a check, but they are paying for the wall indirectly many, many times over by the really great trade deal we just made,” Pres. Trump says. pic.twitter.com/aHIgMhV50o

Trump: “If we don’t make a deal, I mean, I would say 100% but I don’t want to say 100%… it would be very surprising to me that I would not declare a national emergency.”

Trump adds it’s easier to deal with China than Democrats: “I find China, frankly, in many ways, to be far more honorable than Cryin’ Chuck and Nancy.” Adds he won’t go to Davos (Switzerland) for World Economic Forum if shutdown continues

“I didn’t pound on tables. I didn’t raise my voice. That was a lie” @realDonaldTrump “I didn’t rant. I didn’t rave. I don’t have tempter tantrums. I really don’t. All of that narrative is a lie.”

Trump: “Compromise is in my vocabulary, very strongly.”

Any one of these would probably be enough to get a court to order a mandatory evaluation, but Prznint Sundowner just argle-bargles along. I can haz 25th Amendment now?
