The Donald Trump Score Card

The plot thickens. Trump moved Gen. Kelley from the head of Homeland Security to the Chief of Staff position. That leaves the Secretary of Homeland Security vacant. There's already talk about moving Sessions there. If Trump can then put a stooge in the Justice Department, he can get rid of Mueller. Voila!Thinking ahead!

 

what a piece of shit a prez...

 

I got to thinking about this. And thought, transgender people are a minority. What would happen if one died in the line of action? What would be the public outcry for the blm LGBT community and groups like BLM? Might Trump be looking to protect transgender people from being actively recruited and killed? prevent people from using the military for medical or to grand standing in a cause, and refusing to let the military turn into a quota meeting organization.

 

LOL

IT'S A DIVERSIONARY TACTIC BECAUSE HE IS A PIECE OF SHIT TRYING TO DISTRACT PEOPLE FROM WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT HE REALLY IS...


(my apologies to MeAgain)

 

I am seeing some positives with this. He is preventing a minority group from being killed off. They need to multiple and breed.

Fuck, don't fight

Oh that is a good one. I have to add this to that trump slogan thread

 

Good one? You're just so clever. So will the next move be to protect women by tossing them out, too? What about African-Americans? Asians? With such protection, back to the thirties before we know it!

 

Who is being tossed out?

 

You don't really believe this, do you?

I mean, this post is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

 

Like Trump, Nixon replaced his Chief of Staff (Haldeman) with a military general (Alexander Haig).

A military general can be seen as a shining beacon of authority who will finally straighten out everything that appears to be falling apart. For Nixon, it actually was this way. Haig was like an intermediate President during the transition from the outgoing Nixon to the incoming Ford.

Trump is suspicious of anyone who might usurp his percevied infinite wisdom and authority (Trump said himself he knows more about ISIS than the generals).. It's a shaky situation for an extreme authority figure like Trump to have a subordinate who himself is an authority figure. It's questionable whether a general will help straighten out a situation or lead to more suspicion and infighting in the Trump administration which has been plagued with it from the start.

 

An article about Sessions popped up in my MSN yesterday wanting to put an end to legal marijuana.....

Here is another article I found about Trump and him.....

On Election Day, eight states voted to legalize recreational or medical marijuana, bringing the nationwide total of medical states to 29. In Florida, medical marijuana won nearly 2 million more votes than Donald Trump. Added up, 65 million people now live in states that authorize adult recreational use; more than half of all Americans have access to medical marijuana; and almost everyone else lives in a state that permits CBD, a non-psychoactive component of cannabis that helps treatment of juvenile epilepsy. It’s easier now to identify the six states that have done nothing to end the prohibition on marijuana than the ones that are breaking away from the federal law that treats marijuana the same as heroin.

There was another winner on November 8, however, and he has thrown up a serious challenge to the seemingly inexorable march of legal marijuana. By nominating Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III for attorney general, President-elect Donald J. Trump is about to put into the nation’s top law enforcement job a man with a long and antagonistic attitude toward marijuana. As a U.S. Attorney in Alabama in the 1980s, Sessions said he thought the KKK "were OK until I found out they smoked pot.” In April, he said, “Good people don't smoke marijuana,” and that it was a "very real danger" that is “not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized.” Sessions, who turns 70 on Christmas Eve, has called marijuana reform a "tragic mistake" and criticized FBI Director James Comey and Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch for not vigorously enforcing a the federal prohibition that President Obama has called “untenable over the long term.” In a floor speech earlier this year, Senator Sessions said: "You can’t have the President of the United States of America talking about marijuana like it is no different than taking a drink… It is different….It is already causing a disturbance in the states that have made it legal.”

A better title might have been 'Trump Goes Even More Rogue'.



Trump Goes Rogue
By MATTHEW CONTINETTI
JULY 31, 2017

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/31/opinion/donald-trump-reince-priebus-firing.html

excerpts:

"He ignores pleas to ratchet back his Twitter feed, rails against the inability of Congress to advance his agenda, bashes the press, accuses the so-called deep state of bureaucratic setbacks, and struggles to hire staff. In Robert Mueller, the special counsel, he faces a paragon of D.C. officialdom, investigating not only his campaign but also perhaps his finances. For Trump, the Senate’s failure to repeal Obamacare was more evidence of Washington dysfunction, and a reason to declare independence from Priebus, the Republicans and political norms. The call to “drain the swamp” is now a declaration of war against all that threatens his presidency.

Mr. Trump’s bombast, outsize personality, lack of restraint, flippancy and vulgarity could not be more out of place in Washington. His love of confrontation, his need always to define himself in relation to an enemy, then to brand and mock and belittle and undermine his opponent until nothing but Trump catchphrases remain, is the inverse of how Washingtonians believe politics should operate. The text that guides him is not a work of political thought. It’s “The Art of the Deal.”"

 

Addendum:

Having Kellyanne Conway promote his daughter's clothing business on live national TV from the press briefing room of the White House (the room to be used for formal press conferences which Trump has yet to conduct).

Thinking that complex world problems are going to be solved by serving a foreign dignitary a piece of cake at his mansion (it'll be a piece of cake) and shortly thereafter impulsively lashing out at the dignitary he had just complimented when things didn't go as he expected (no more Mr. Nice Guy).

Wanting to have the power to pardon himself and his relatives (even Nixon wasn't that arrogant and relied on his successor to implement the pardons).

Promoting nepotism by giving his close relatives high level positions in his administration including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner (Minister of Everything).

Giving his chief political strategist, Bannon, a formal seat on the National Security Council (a fine way of politicizing the military and annoying the brass with a fringe conspiracy media writer)

Wanting exemption from investigators being able to see his tax returns and business records.

Issuing threats to cut off federal money to cities that don't go along with his anti-immigrant policies

Wanting to dismantle the Ninth Circuit Court

 

Scaramucci gone.

Another fandango of the Trump administration.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/07/31/anthony-scaramucci-out-white-house-communications-director/526300001/

"White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci is leaving the White House, less than two weeks after President Trump hired him.

"Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a brief statement."

 

^^^ Beat me to it.

Anyway, at this point, they should really just install a revolving door in the White House.

 

Trump obviously doesn't like people he feels might be superior to him. Looks like Scaramucci was a little too anal.

 

So who is super stoked about the future President Pence?
