Well, this past week has proven conclusively to me that the Great "Tricky Trump" is full of crap...................and I'm being polite about it.
The "Art of the Deal" turned into the "Art of the Steal" when Tricky Trump wanted to steal Healthcare from the most underprivileged people in America.
His plan of reducing Medicaid (used only for people who cannot afford health insurance, and taking those dollars and giving the extreme wealthy (means billionaires) a tax break, failed miserably in the House of Representatives. BTW.............did I mention that the Republicans control not only the House, but the Senate as well? Tricky Trump could not even convince his own party to vote in favor of his bill.
So, and in the continued "Tricky Trump" modus of operation, he first blamed the Democrats. Seriously? Democrats do not have the majority of votes in the House, nor the Senate.
That didn't work so he next blames the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan (ranking member of the Republican Party in the House) for not being able to "Deliver the Votes". Ryan then gets the name "Stinker of the House". You think that will bring more votes to the table in the future?
He, of course, never blames himself, or the fact that "The Art of the Deal" is really now "The Art of the Squeal".
Health care is dead for the near foreseeable future.
Let's review Tricky Trump's accomplishments so far:
He promised to "Build the Great Wall", and the Mexicans will pay for it. President Vicente Fox told him "Mexico's not paying for your F-ing Wall". So much for that deal.
He promised "On Day One" he would ban all Muslims from entering the country. The appellate court struck him down. So much for that deal.
He then re-wrote his Executive Order and again promised he would ban Muslims from "Certain Country's" from entering the USA. The courts again struck him down based on his own words during his campaign. They believed he violated the right of Freedom of Religion. So much for that deal.
He also promised to replace Obama Care.......again on Day One. The only problem is........he wasn't smart enough to know that he did not have the power to eliminate Obama Care. Only Congress can do that. And now we find out that he can't even get the Republicans to vote for his bill.......even when he has the majority vote. So much for that deal.
Just because he is a business man that loses other people's money, does not make him a great leader............or even a mediocre leader.
He is a complete failure at everything he touches.
I give him an "F" |

Tricky Trump's travel ban was struck down again yesterday by a court in Hawaii.
This man can't seem to win anything. Oh, and let us not forget...........he promised to "lock her up"......referring to Hillary.
Is there any grade less than an "F" Sherri? Maybe an "F-"............................no?

Some of his promises were never going to come off. The wall was one the rest of the world had some doubts about (especially asking another country to pay).
The ban on all muslims-also pretty hard to put into effect, although there should be a way to cut right back on immigration from the worst problem areas or allow greater scrutiny.
Locking up Hillary. It is problematical to get well known politicians locked up. Or it is in countries such as USA, Aust etc
One of the reasons is money & another is influence.
I've seen it here where some politicians who have rorted the system a bit have been made to pay things back under the explanation that their claims for expenses 'wouldn't pass the pub test.' Sometimes they have to resign but they don't usually go to prison. On the other hand I know of a prin at another school (this was well over a decade ago) who used school funds to buy a jeep or mini van or some such thing, to transport small groups of students to events. But he took it home on weekends. He went to jail for 6 months. And lost his job of course.

More unbiased, centrist commentary.
Well...I've asked conservatives what happened to TrumpCare and they don't even want to talk about it.

BTW - I'm all in favor of building a "Great Wall"................but along the Canadian border, not Mexico.
We need to keep those Canadian Hockey players out of the USA. Every time we let them in..............it does not fair well for the Yanks......not to mention all the Professional Hockey Player jobs they are taking away from us.

Just admit you suck and you are second or third best at baseball and ice hockey.
Don't worry, Australia routinely has to concede a lack of supremacy in cricket, hockey and rugby.
It only hurts for a while.

Ice hockey.......yes, we suck.
Baseball..........hell no, we are the best in the world......usually.
Cricket is the silliest game I have ever seen......kind of a cross between golf and baseball.........with a little bowling mixed up with it. What's that all about?
