Some consider the Nation’s Capital as “Fantasyland on the Potomac”. Other outsiders are “Fed Up” with the Federal City. It's better to consider D.C. as “the District of Calamity” (sic).

Trump Gets Punchy with "Raging Bull" Robert De Niro
On the eve of the US-North Korea Summit in Singapore, actor Robert De Niro used his platform introducing "The Boss" Bruce Springsteen at the Tony Awards to hurl vulgar invectives at President Donald Trump.
Although this crude message garnered standing ovations from the elites gathered at Radio City Musical Hall, it further alienated many prospective Trump fans as chronicled in Salena Zito's book "The Great Revolt" (2018). Liberal operatives in the mainstream media also cringed at De Niro's raging B.S. as the over the top attack bolstered Trump's brand.
Now that the Singapore Summit ended in seeming success, President Trump can turn to domestic detractors and put them in their places in his own inimitable way. On Air Force One, Trump took to Twitter to troll De Niro using the conceit of playing the punch drunk Jake DeMont from the 1980 Academy Award winning film Raging Bull.
No doubt this will stoke additional enmity from De Niro. De Niro's had Trump Derangement Syndrome for quite a while. In addition, De Niro seems stuck on character acting like Dirty Grandpa.
But a tete-a-tete with De Niro is much like the NFL Take The Knee issue for Mr. Trump. It is a cultural issue that reaches audiences who may be otherwise apathetic to politics. The curt counter-punches feeds Trump trolls who itch for politically incorrect imbroglios but is witty enough to also reach red blooded and blue collar voters who recoil at progressive filth.

Trump and Trudeau Trade Barbs on Fair Trade
President Donald Trump left the G-7 Summit in Charlevoix, early to get to the summit with North Korea in Singapore. After Air Force One took off from Quebec, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave a press conference which seemed to go after the aggressive trade positions of President Trump.
President Trump loves to counter punch and used his favorite medium Twitter to get his message out.
