During an ostentatious ceremony at the White House this afternoon, after months upon months of relentless internal and external negotiations, Donald Trump is signing the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) — a milestone event in Trump’s otherwise tumultuous presidency.
However, instead of allowing the importance of the event to speak for itself, Trump seemingly could not pass up the opportunity to edge in a bit of ass-kissing for the GOP senators in attendance who essentially hold his fate in their hands as the Senate continues to weigh the option to call witnesses into Donald’s impeachment trial as the dust begins to settle from the recent bombshell Bolton leak.
As Trump looked out upon those gathered for the event, particularly the front row full of Senators who have recently made a show of defending POTUS in the Senate trial, Donald declared the day a day of “celebration” for all countries involved before going on to squeeze in a little brown-nosing banter with the GOP members of Congress by quipping that perhaps he’s only nice to them because he needs their acquittal votes so desperately.
“I want to just if I could mention because we do have some incredible people that work so hard, and uh, Senators. Maybe I’m being just nice to them because I want their vote. Does that make sense?” Trump jested, to a round of laughter from the attendees. “I don’t want to leave anybody out. Hey congressman, I already got your vote, 196 to nothing. To hell with you.”

He also quipped about Senator Ted Cruz’s alleged eagerness to ask questions as soon as GOPers have the ability to do so, after having spent the past several days being forced to listen to the other side.
“He’s dying to get back there and ask those questions,” Trump declared of the MAGA supporting senator. “He’s got some beauties, I’ll bet.”
There were no Democrats listed as expected attendees to the affair and it’s unclear as to whether or not any were extended invitations.
Trump’s White House has found themselves out of sorts lately as they all face the very real possibility of damning witnesses being called into Donald’s Senate impeachment trial. One senior administration official embroiled in Trump’s impeachment strategy has admitted that the White House has had a long-standing fear that four GOP members could potentially break with them regarding the trial and they desperately need to cut that number in half to stand a chance.
“We need to chisel four down to two,” the White House official explained. “We are comparing notes with the leader’s office. I would say we are at DEFCON 2.”
The fact that Donald is puckering up those orange lips for some grade-A ass-kissing is bad enough in itself. But those Senators who got a front-row seat to Trump’s little schpiel this afternoon will be serving as the jurors on his impeachment trial — which means what Donald is pulling today isn’t just a bad case of brown-nosing, it’s outright attempted jury tampering.
Add that to the list of reasons he should be trading his presidential suits for prison jumpsuits.
