Trump says a lot of stuff, and sometimes it sticks, although at his point a lot of it just fades into the background. That's probably true for a lot of administrations and presidents for that matter, but when you start to really pay attention, and take notes, it becomes much more obvious. As for trying to "connect" with the "working class," I'm not sure this is a very good way to do it. Of course, I'm not sure he really wants to connect with the working class anyway.
"We got more money, we got more brains, we got better houses and apartments, we got nicer boats, we're smarter than they are and they say they're the elite," He went o to so "Let's call ourselves, from now on, the super elite."
There is an interesting insight here, a way this sort of thing could be turned into a way for Trump to be hoist by his own petard. It's unlikely to happen of course, since it's the sort of tactic that takes some time to bear fruit, and it would certainly be difficult to allay the suspicion of such a trap. But it does seem clear that Trump's ego is such that he sort of steps in it on his own, so managing to goad him further wouldn't take too much.
The New York Times cited an unnamed source, saying that Trump is considering John F. Kelly's replacement as Chief of Staff. Trump and Kelly continue to deny any such plans.
There is some movement on the Parade idea, apparently at this point it looks like it may happen in November, but the report said that there really isn't much enthusiasm for such a parade.
July 16th has been announced as the date for Trump to meet face to face with Putin. The whole election meddling thing remains weird though, Russia claims that they didn't meddle at all, and Trump keeps trying to deny that it happened, or at least minimize what may/did happen.
