How can he say that his administration
is running like a fine-tuned machine? How disillusioned is this mad man? There have
been many people who got fired or who just did not want a job with Trump. Before he campaigns for re-election he should
at least address how he is going to get the deficit down. The personnel debacles
and serious scandals that already are with this 1 month Presidency are unlike
anything we have ever seen at the start of a Presidential term. He has signed
into law zero policies other than his failed Muslim ban that the courts shot
down indefinitely. So, his one major decision has failed. As he was crowing about how great he is during
his solo press conference the lawyers for the administration was writing to the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals asking to vacate its previous ruling striking
the ban as unconstitutional.
They wanted to uphold a stay on
those grounds. The court denied the request. Now no one wants to see the United
States fail but we need the Donald to fail in his crazy requests despite his
attempt to appeal his decisions. He seems to be failing in every way! One of
the first noticeable indications of chaos in the administration was when he
wanted to hire Monica Crowley for a national security job. In 2012 she was
exposed for plagiarizing multiple sources in her book called, What the (Bleep)
Just Happened? Soon thereafter her book sale was suspended. It was also
reported that many of her newspaper columns were also plagiarized. She also
plagiarized parts of her Ph.D. Dissertation. I guess that is all acceptable to
him since his own wife plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech.
Soon though Monica Crowley got
thrown out as a National Security Advisor. The first person Trump picked as
Secretary of the Army was a finance guy Vincent J. Viola who donated a lot of
money to Trumps campaign. His nomination was stopped because they found out
that he was arrested for punching a guy out at a recent horse auction. Then
there was the shortest tenure of a National Security Advisor, General Mike Flynn resigning. He lasted only
24 days which is the shortest tenure in American History for that job. It was
all about his involvement with the Russian government before and after the
election. He got fired mostly because he lied about his involvement with the
Russian government. He lied when he denied discussing sanctions with the Russian
ambassador. He may have also lied to the FBI about his Russian contacts. If that
is proven then he committed a felony.
There are transcripts and
recordings of Flynn’s contacts with Russian officials yet he lied and denied
ever having those discussions. The January 24 interview potentially put Flynn
in legal jeopardy. Lying to the FBI is a felony offense. If he was prosecuted
he could be looking at serious jail time. The situation thickens. The guy to
prosecute him would be in the Justice
Department. That is now being run by the Chairman of the National Security Advisory
Committee from the Trump campaign. Jeff Sessions refused to prosecute the liar.
So Flynn walks because they are all in bed with trump and the Russians.
The day after the Flynn
resignation Trump also had to pull his Labor Secretary nominee choice Andy Posner. Then Trumps next choice to
replace Flynn, Admiral Robert Harward turned down the job. He said he was “conflicted
between the call of duty and the obvious dysfunctionality.”
We shouldn’t forget that Senate
Democrats are opposing the nomination of Scott Pruitt to head the Environmental
Protection Agency. 3,000 pages of information emerged about him withholding
discussions with oil and gas companies. He did not release the information. How
can he oversee the protection of our environment when he is in bed with the
major polluters of our environment? He also sued the EPA 14 times and lost 7 times so far. The Republican Senate just approved him according to party lines. Pruitt is a conservative that hates environmental regulations. His law suits as Attorney General were against smog limits, mercury level regulations and pollution regulations. Does Trump even know what a fine tuned
machine is?
