Misadventures of a minority-elect President 72

Chronicling the misadventures of our minority-elect President’s alternate reality, alternative facts and the miscreants that comprise his administration so you don’t have to:

Trump’s latest unintelligible interview is – in addition to profoundly ignorant – something else, it’s much harder making decisions as President than you’d normally make – except the ones that affect your bottom line, pushing his wall funding in spending dispute with Democrats in the final week of his first 100 days – many of which have been filled with resistance, anti-Semitism thriving in Trump’s White House, Trump having a difficult time accepting the fact that he will always be a minority-elect President with no mandate, winners and losers from Trump’s first 100 days, Trump’s ignorance keeps getting in the way, that the GOP keeps obstructing the Trump-Russia investigation speaks volumes as to its validity, the growing disaster of the Trump administration starting to take its toll on the GOP, State Department posts on Mar-a-Lago – our minority-elect President’s Winter White House – raising ethics concern in Trump’s gilded era, a study of our for-profit President’s corporate government is quite revealing and more.

100 days of Trump Resistance: the wins so far and battles to come article from The Guardian. –
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/24/100-days-of-trump-resistance-wins-so-far-battles-to-come

“As President Trump approaches 100 days in office, Adam Gabbatt surveys the resistance movement’s biggest moments so far, key groups, and challenges ahead

It’s not just by chance that Donald Trump’s first 100 days have been so underwhelming. The president’s failure to pass healthcare reform, to ban people from entering the country, and arguably to achieve anything of note (beyond his supreme court justice) is down, in no small part, to the efforts of hundreds of thousands of people across the country.

Activists have pressured their representatives, held mass demonstrations and scrambled to protect those at risk in a rollercoaster few months. Trump has until January 2021 to turn things around, but there seems little sign of the resistance fading away…”

Misadventures of a minority-elect President 71

Chronicling the misadventures of our minority-elect President’s alternate reality, alternative facts and the miscreants that comprise his administration so you don’t have to:

Tensions between our first lady and our minority-elect President’s daughter, how Trump’s FCC appointee is purposely subverting Internet and privacy laws for corrupt corporations, 25 primarily ineffective Executive Orders from Trump so far, if you thought Trump’s first 100 days were a joke, just wait for the remainder of his term, Trump’s fake war on fake news, still claiming Mexico will pay for his wall, the growing list of scandals involving our fraudulent, lackluster leader, how our Con Artist-in-Chief has made a career of making morons think his failures were not failures, be prepared for a week of alternative facts to try and claim success for Trump’s 100th day in his alternate reality, Trump’s difficulty with learning from his past mistakes, the chameleon presidency – same old Generals, same old war and why it’s so hard to believe a thing he or the corrupt cesspool of a swamp he calls his administration says, part one of Trump’s 100 days of deconstruction and more.

Analysis: A bumpy 100 days for Trump? Just wait for the 1,361 to follow article from USA Today. –
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/04/23/president-trump-bumpy-first-100-days/100655420/

“WASHINGTON — Think President Trump’s first 100 days were bumpy? Just wait for the 1,361 to follow.

It’s no surprise that Trump, who has been shattering political precedent since he announced his candidacy and then won the White House, would continue to break new ground once he moved into the Oval Office — though not always in a good way.

The courts have blocked his signature immigration ban. Congress has balked at delivering on his promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The FBI is investigating Russian meddling in the election, an issue that forced the resignation of his national security adviser and is likely to cast a shadow over the administration for months or more. The public gives him record-low approval ratings for a new president.

Braced for bad reviews when Trump reaches the unofficial milestone Saturday, the White House has been pushing back on the idea that his first 100 days have been a bust…”

GCHQ dismisses ‘utterly ridiculous’ claim it helped wiretap Trump article from the Guardian. –

“British intelligence officials have denied an allegation that the UK helped former president Barack Obama “wiretap” Donald Trump during the 2016 election.

The claim was repeated by the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, on Thursday and dismissed as “utterly ridiculous” by a GCHQ spokesperson.

The spokesperson added in a statement: “Recent allegations made by media commentator judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ being asked to conduct ‘wiretapping’ against the then president-elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored…”
