Like his touting “the Cyber”, dim-witted booster Trump tried to show how tech-savy he is by exaggerating as usual, only making himself look foolish to millions, because 6G should be more bigly than 5G.
5G (from "5th Generation") is the latest generation of cellular mobile communications. It succeeds the 4G(LTE/WiMax), 3G (UMTS) and 2G (GSM) systems. 5G performance targets high data rate, reduced latency, energy saving, cost reduction, higher system capacity, and massive device connectivity.

China will lead in 5G implementation, regardless of how Individual-1 wants to make the US look stupid in trade talks.
And in other Trump stupidity:
Individual-1's "brazen public behavior" may not be any defense at all as The NY Times tried to deflect the very real criminality of Individual-1 onto the normalizing of his public relations buffoonery.
- If Republicans had been smart, or clear-sighted, they would have championed the bipartisan investigation of POTUS's potential ties + coordination with the Kremlin -- instead of facing questions of their own enablement while helping to move the red lines forward, step by step. /2
- If Republicans are smart, or want to avoid the destruction of the caucus, they should move now to investigate the elected Rs who have been accused of helping the White House lie to the American public -- instead of facing eventual questions of their dereliction./3
- If Democrats are smart, and not just reactionary, they will act to monitor, analyze, and explain how Kremlin information campaigns and other mechanisms target their members and followers -- instead of leaving critical vulnerabilities. /4
2/ Not that there hasn’t been movement. Manafort, Russian asset who ran Trump’s campaign during peak Treason Season, will likely die in prison. The seditious Mike Flynn pled to lying to feds (at least). Cohen, Trump’s longtime “personal attorney” & attack dog, pled guilty.
3/ Later today, the contemptible Roger Stone will likely have his bail revoked and be remanded to jail awaiting trial, a trial he will almost certainly lose, and he, like Manafort, will likely die in prison.
There are a slew of other indictments, too, but those are HUGE names.
4/ The Stone case, per the court docs, is related to the case involving the Russians. It ties into WikiLeaks. Among the Trumpists mixed up w/ WikiLeaks are Julian Assange, Sean Hannity, Donald Trump Junior, and Nigel Farage.
5/ This doesn’t take into account all the rats riding steerage on the Trumptanic: Jerome Corsi, George P, Carter Page, etc. Maybe some of them helped take down the ship? Time will tell.
6/ Broadly speaking, the Trumpists who have NOT yet been indicted by Mueller are either cooperators, family members, or members of Congress (hi, Devin!).
7/ I’m not sure how they deal w/the cooperators. It may be that for flipping early and helpfully, the likes of Jeff Sessions, Don McGahn, Reince Priebus, and Hope Hicks avoid indictment. Or maybe they plead guilty to some lesser charge, and serve no time.
8/ The family members are ALL going to be indicted. It’s just a matter of when, by which body, and for what charges. I expect Junior and Jared to be indicted by the OSC. Maybe Ivanka and Gums are handled by SDNY or the NY AG. Trump Org itself could be indicted by NY AG.
9/ We haven’t really talked about Melania in terms of guilt, but if there are tax forms illegally filed, and she signed them? Poetic justice would have her deported, the fate her odious husband seeks for all undocumented immigrants.
10/ I believe a sitting president can & should be indicted for crimes committed before election, & certainly for ones that helped him get elected. But even if that doesn't happen, what will Trump do when ALL of his inner circle are arrested? Rail at the press? Blame Peter Strzok?
11/ Trump's immediate fate largely hinges on what Congress does. Right now, the GOP is so firmly under his tiny thumb (and Putin’s larger one) that the Senate will not impeach. But what happens if some MOCs are indicted? Nunes, Rohrabacher, Rand Paul, Graham, Paul Ryan, Mitch.
12/ The best case scenario is for the feds to fan out and indict EVERYONE, all in one fell swoop. That will make it crystal clear that Trump himself is guilty, regardless of indictments, and a Congressman or five going down may compel others on the Hill to do the right thing.
13/ More likely, it will play out more slowly than that. My track record is very good on connecting the loose ends and identifying the collaborators, and wretched on predicting timelines.
But Mueller is not Godot. Justice WILL arrive.
As McCabe writes in
#TheThreat (can’t find page so paraphrasing): even if Mueller is fired, this doesn’t end. The case exists in too many brains now for it to go away. Trump will spend the rest of his life either in prison, in court, or on the run.
WE WILL PREVAIL!
