@realDonaldTrump, on advice of Mick Mulvaney, just reversed his position on holding G-7 at the Trump Doral & began looking for another site. In effect, he followed the admonition J. Edgar Hoover gave FBI Academy grads: "It doesn't just have to BE right, it has to LOOK right."

In both the book and the novel "7 Days in May," Col. Broderick, commanding officer of the ECOMCON base in NM, an officer contemptuous of civilian authority, is clearly based on Gen. Edwin Walker (whom authors Knebel & Wheeler interviewed for the novel).

A bit sad for me to run into @Lagarde twice in her twilight IMF/World Bank mtg. as she says goodbye and prepares to take over European Central Bank from @MarioDraghi_ECB. I said "bonjour" to her but never asked Madame if she would run for President of France in 2022.

"7 Days in May"'sending in novel differs from movie in that Pres. Lyman couldn't bring himself to use love letters to a mistress against Gen. Scott. But Treasury Sec. Chris Todd warns Scott after his firing that if he gets any ideas about seeking GOP nomination, they'll come out
