See, here’s the thing. I had to take a Trump break. I had to spend some time without him in my writing schedule. This has made it difficult to write the past few weeks of Top Comments diaries for me. But Conor Friedersdorf at The Atlantic brought me back with that one line in the second paragraph of America's Victim-In-Chief. So here I am. Writing about Trump again, through the lens of this beautiful turn of phrase … “He is John McEnroe; the presidency is his US Open.”
But first, a word from our sponsors ...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
And here’s the thing … I don’t even know what the Trump Fake News Dossier is. It is right out of the dystopian play book he has been calling from for two years (lord God) and, as some have said, tremendously on brand. But I know that, once again, The Donald is the victim.
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down.

from elfling:
skralyx explains the discrepancy between the alleged crowd numbers and the images of Ivanka’s Tokyo speech.
from Eyesbright:
The information in this comment is a perfect example of what first attracted me to Daily Kos and why I've stuck around for so long.
This comment by Jon Sitzman actually deserved to be a diary. It's factual, cited, and the kind of information we need when controversial issues come up.
