[kj] (OT) The Trump Continues...

[Mike Cooper]

Still totally with you on this one Alex.  Still coming to terms with seeing him not only running your country but all over the news for the wrong reasons!!!  This taping issue is now just embarrassing and clearly to deflect his own issues.  I suspect something relating to Russia or similar is going to come out!  

 

Intersting to see the footage of the republican rallies where voters are already turning against fellow senators!  Would love to see him try and take on ordinary people for a change.

I volunteered my opinions about Trump some time ago, and get a right royal dressing-down from a couple of fellow Gatherers, so much so that I felt compelled to leave for a few days. 

 

I'd be curious to hear what those individuals have to say about Trump only this many days in.

 

Breath not held.

Good evening, everyone.

So, here we are, well into the first Trump administration. What's happening?

Well, in terms of at-this-point comparisons, he's already one of the least popular presidents ever. The impact of this is only underlined by the failure of his representatives to come up with some kind of explanation for this, relying instead on his usual bluff that such things are rigged, confirming that he still doesn't have a solid damage limitation or media management team in place yet. Even more importantly, why hasn't he?

So far, Trump has done nothing that required the support or permission of someone else. Again, why not? Why is he suddenly so reluctant to press forward with his plans?

Naturally, he has turned his back on half of his election promises. A professional politician would explain that such compromises are an essential part of politics. But having sold himself to the world as a non-politician, Trump cannot use that defense. Is it because he has encountered serious opposition (and occasionally been defeated)  in those areas he has tried to act? Given that his new immigration order suffers from exactly the same issues as his last one, this doesn't look likely to change. And on that note, did no-one tell Trump he would still have the same problems? As I said before, why is there no solid legal team in place yet?

With the exception of responding to other's actions (North Korea etc), international politics has received no attention whatsoever.

We do hear Trump manufacturing ridiculous accusations about Obama wiretapping him (again, solid media and legal teams should have counselled him against transparent lies of that nature), but in almost every other area, Trump is content to be seen to be doing the absolute minimum. Everyone has their own opinion about Trump, but I honestly did not expect him to be almost paralyzed into inaction like this. What on earth is he doing?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Jim.
