Donald Trump and His Presidency

mmpleaser

DT is a media person, witness THE APPRENTICE show.

Airwave needs to be controlled, though broadcasting is losing its influence by the rise of social media.

In getting the US government shutdown impacting the 800K plus people with no checks coming (either no forever, or full when shutdown finished),  DT issue has been turned more to WALL or NO WALL (now steel fence, which was proven to be cut by a regular saw from Home depot) or people paychecks.

DT is trying to hold onto the 30% base support of Tea Party and ultra right faction of the society.  Wonder how many coal workers (totalled 60K) are still believing in DT, case in point , reversal of fortune in PA, WI and MI blue collar workers.

DT had a chance to start building the wall 2 years ago and did not do it.  Now Special Counsel is going to issue the report soon and airwave needs to be turned AWAY from the focus to other things, WALL that is.  Smart media person who kept on talking about any news NOT from DT (not even his press people) are FAKE NEWS.    MY NEWS or NO NEWS.

NYT just posted that DT is under investigation for Russian SPY.
I truly believe that.
Normally investigation is on FOLLOW THE MONEY, but now in this case is FOLLOW THE COMMUNICATION.
Wonder how does Putin relay his order to DT, all the FBI, CIA, Secret Service are monitoring DT movements and communication.  Only time he was able to do private talk with Putin was in Helsinki last year.  No more latest order to be relayed to DT.

It is incredible that the one to one meeting of DT and PUTIN, notes from interpreters were confiscated by DT so record of it remains.  BURN BURN BURN.

DT is an one-man show, surrounded by Acting Advisers, pursued by scandals which he tried hourly to cover up but only left more clues for pursuers to follow.

DT's time and energy have all been spent on defense of his ego.  He has no time to govern.  His sole focus is to build a wall, not for illegal immigrants, but to surround himself!

Mental breakdown is imminent!

Wish the fast food will kill him soon.  Over 72 with lots of fast food.

What can DT do as an ASSET (not AGENT) for PUTIN :

1. remove sanction of wealth from Russian Oligarch.
2. withdraw from NATO (so Russia can do whatever, just like cold war without the COLD).
3. destabilize US politics (as is , already divided into groups of Tea party or White supremacist, Centralist,
Leftists, Libertarians, Hispanics, Blacks, Rural poors, Uneducated blue colar low skill worker, miners).
4. whole US democracy political system is crazy.  3 branches of government as checks and balances,  unless all united towards one goal, will just fight each other forever.  May be Parliament system is better, you either pass all laws by being majority or no confidence vote will get your party OUT.

There is a big problem with US politics.

President is in charge of DOJ, and DOJ cannot really indicted a SITTING President.
Unlike a corporation, at least you have a Board of Directors (most of the time do NOTHING) that can vote to get rid of the CEO/Chairman/President.

Wall or NO Wall, the Government Shutdown is going to cost the GOP (not just DT) a lot of credit ability for 2020 Senator election.  Once they loose the Senate majority, with DT for sure out.  US is going to be government by Democrats.
All the DT policies will be REVERSED back to normal and GOP will be out the rest of Decade.

And the rising population of Hispanics (not of the Cuban group in Florida) who were kids from old undocumented parents, they will definitely for Democrats until they become rich and converted to GOP.
Like the saying : When you are 20 and your are not a Communist, then you do not have a HEART.

And when you are 40 and you are not a Conservative or Capitalist, then you do not have a HEAD.

DT's arrogance, stubbornness, and of course his stupidity by insisting on a border wall or a prolonged shutdown played right into the hands of Nancy Pelosi - Congress' party leader.

DT is  now in a lose-lose situation!

If he yields, his image as a tough guy is tarnished which is the only thing DT cares about,  will reduce his already dwindling supporter base, and further reducing his chances of a 2nd term.

If he wins by declaring a national emergency and using his executive power to force the issue, it will provide ammunition for the Democrats to humiliate him in Congress and a constitutional squabble to limit his powers.

No matter what is the outcome, DT will lose all the Federal employees' votes in the next election who are either furloughed or working without pay, and can't make ends meet.

Furthermore, without these employees at work:
1.  Tax revenue which the Government needs badly will slow down.
2.  The Government will record a even higher deficit.
3.  More difficulty for the Government to borrow.
4.  Federal Reserve will have to raise interest yet again in making the bonds more attractive.
5.  All banks will follow suit by increasing interest rates.
6.  Economic downturn will follow, stock market will turn into a big bear.

Well, well, well, DT's is doomed!
