Like Redford in the film -- after he had won -- Trump was presented with the problem, "What do we do now?"Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-87328136793181368032018-02-13T14:00:17.987-05:002018-02-13T14:00:17.987-05:00Trump has surrounded himself with felons, grifters...<br />Trump has surrounded himself with felons, grifters, thugs and organized criminals for decades. He seems to revel in their 'bad boy' shtick. He sets the bar for the people he brings into his administration. Michael Wolff reveals in "Fire and Fury" how caught unaware and unprepared Trump and his campaign were when he won. They expected to lose. They wanted to lose. They, including Trump, were all prepared to springboard from electoral failure to ever greater success back in the private sector. That's why Kushner filed such an incomplete disclosure statement. He didn't disclose his meetings with sketchy foreign contacts because he figured the morning after the election no one would care. That's why Flynn was brought aboard. <br /><br />I recall how, post-election, Obama was floored in his first sit down meeting with Trump. The Cheeto Benito figured that replacing Obama would be like the new CEO moving into the head office. All the staff would remain. Obama told Trump he'd have to find his own staff and asked Trump why would he even want Obama loyalists in sensitive positions in the White House.

Perhaps I just have a more merciless perspective and less concern. <br /><br />The Trump systemic failure arrived.. & it arrived like massive cardiac arrest, not totally fatal.. after some sort of intervention it is now just tachycardia.. ie heart failure that comes n goes as it pleases, usually via Twitter. Perhaps its more an aneuristic brain leak or swelling.. or just manifest mood disorder.. <br /><br />These things are hard to explain & dump<br />on family, stakeholders, friends & others.. Ol Donald is 'off his noodle' ..AGAIN.. <br /><br />Loses resonance when he rails daily from the golf cart.. or after missing a 2 footer after he threw it from a sand trap, at the hole or General Kelly delivers a head slap.. and yells 'Donald, wake up.. hello, earth to Donald ! ! And General Kelly.. is off panet, perhaps on Mars<br /><br />We are heading to uh.. <br />Well if I knew the heading, I'd pull out the related map<br /><br />There is no map to complete & utter fantasy ..<br />the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.com
