Countdown 80 days TRUMP DISLOYAL- THE BOOK Trump personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen has been closely associated with him for decades prior to his incarceration. He was the first call Trump made in the morning and the last call he had at night for more than a decade.

Countdown 81 days TRUMP’S STUPIDITY In a statement before the press Trump was asked where the administration stands with Covid-19. Here is his statement “We’re doing very well in everything including corona, as you call it. But let me just tell you we’re getting to the end. We’re getting to, and the vaccines are ready to rock. We’re to be very close to a vaccine. We’re ready to distribute, and we’re there for therapeutics, which to me is even…
Countdown 82 days THE TRUMP TARRIFS Tariffs are Trump’s new tool to circumvent congress and allow to pay off political allies. This is a total subversion of the congressional powers only bestowed to them. Trump has figured out a way to rob the piggy bank without incurring national debt and have the taxpayers unknowingly pay for his dalliances.

In prior times the EOs were used as a stopgap measure where immediate action was required and legislation was to catch up. Trump himself had derided Obama for using the tool. His objection prior to his election was that Obama could not get anything done and if he Donald Trump was elected, he knew the art of the deal. It…
Countdown 84 days BEGGARED CREDULITY The prime example of Trump’s unrestrained fecklessness and beggared credulity is in regard to the pandemic. Trump consistently says the virus will just go away. He said “anyone that wants a test can get a test,” or “cases will soon go to zero“. Or how about his misreading of virus charts, saying we compare favorably to the rest of the world? We are only 4.5% of the population of the world. What about…

Countdown 87 days TODAY’S THOUGHTS The newly revealed consistent policy themes disguised as actual policies for the Trump administration involve energy, racism, religious liberty, and guns. These are all themes he likes to poke at and his rhetoric only has an appeal to those who yearn for the past. This seems to be the policy part of the Trump campaign reset. These themes are all sprinkled with the politics of preying on those in grief. Take energy, his…
Countdown 88 days TRUMP’S THOUGHTS It’s difficult to get into anyone’s head let alone a stable genius with a very large brain. Let me attempt this feat. I do have some similar attributes, as I have an actual degree in Economics and graduated in 1969. I know Trump claimed to have a degree in Economics and graduated in 1968. He has falsely claimed he graduated at the top of his class, which has proven to be patently false and…
