Trump hopes to shut down federal government by the end of August -- Trump will meet with anyone but his own advisers -- Old tweets never die, and they never fade away either.

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday reiterated a threat to shut down the federal government in September if Congress could not deliver on Republican demands to crack down on immigration by enforcing border security and building his long-promised wall on the United States border with Mexico.

He's chief of the crybabies now;

when crossed he must have a big cow.

But crying wolf leads

to much darker deeds -- 

could he be the next Chairman Mao?

WASHINGTON—President Trump said he would be willing to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani without conditions.  “If they want to meet, I’ll meet,” Mr. Trump said Monday, adding that he would be willing to “meeting with anybody.”

So Trump will meet with anyone? I wish that it were true.

He goes off to the Russian steppes and sails the ocean blue.

But one group he will not agree to meet forevermore -- 

when his advisers come to call, he's out the White House door. 

Over the past few weeks, the act of cleaning up your past tweets has become simultaneously more popular and more suspect. Even non-celebrities want to prevent enemies from scrolling through their history. Others are promoting the idea that anyone who deletes their Twitter histories must have something to hide.

My tweets are historical docs

that scholars will study in flocks.

Deleting them thus

would history muss -- 

they're just like a jet plane's black box.
