Oh yes, tell the public he's keeping the LGBTQ EO to collect the warm fuzzies, and then nominate a supreme court moron who will just as gladly vote to take them away when those nice Christian fundamentalists find the right suit to fuck them over...in the name of Christ.
Trump is no businessman in the sense of Big Business. He has no Board of Directors in his toy companies, they are strictly Mom and Pop type operations. He cannot even make good hiring decisions. You can see that by what he believes make good cabinet nominees. That is no team he's assembling, it is just some guys and gals he likes. He's in way over his head.
Actually, it started in academia with postmodernism which was a reaction against ideologies and philosophy and the general march of progress, those being suspect and hence skepticism of everything was thought to be the cat's whiskers.
Then they went a step further and started applying it to science. Not being scientists, they failed to understand the proper relationship between science and the real world.
After that, the alt-right picked up on it and it translated into "we get to determine our own facts".
In sum, what started a reaction against ideology was turning into an ideology that was chameleon-like in nature and made the alt-right feel they were never alt-wrong.
The icing on the cake was that someone who believes Championship Wrestling is a sport, a deadbeat as a businessman, and a reality show host becomes elected President. The American people, who have been taught by TV that nothing is real, are now capable of throwing their democracy down the tubes for a promised pile of magic beans. The TV Preachers and Prosperity Evangelicals are there promoting the entire spectacle for filthy lucre, thus showing that anyone can turn religious principles on their head if they try hard enough. Daesh showed them how to do it and not feel guilty.
The Washington Post has an article showing the list of Muslim countries whose people are banned from entering the U.S. The common trait is they have no Trump business ties. Welcome to Fascism in the old sense of the word.
Actually, the number for Trump is about to go up if you count the miserable refugees the U.S. will no longer be accepting (excepting any lawsuits over Trump's latest ego-gasm).
We were told he was a baby Christian. Oh? A real Christian would have given most of his wealth to the poor and opened Trump tower to Muslim refugees. The Prosperity Evangelicals supporting that jerk believe that Jesus wants them to be rich. The idea is that they like money, Jesus wants them to be happy, ergo Jesus wants them to be rich. It rather turns Christianity on its head, but that's no problem for Trump. Ethics? He's heard of them but has no personal experience.
What makes you think Trump gives a flying rat's ass about what he can use to pressure companies? No ranking official in a country or company should ever have a conversation with el Presidente Tweety, he'll only twist it.
The past is replete with examples. Two of them are when Clapper called him to explain no one in intelligence agencies leaked the Russian hacking probe. Trump turned that into Clapper agrees with Trump on is view that Russian hacking had nothing to do with the election. He had a public tiff with Mexico's president, realized he stepped on his own crank, gives him a call, and then announces they had a very happy and fruitful discussion. I note the Mexican president hasn't asked for new meeting, agreed to pay for Trump's Wall of Ego, or promised to renegotiate NAFTA.
It isn't that MS doesn't bother to fix the issues, it is that they cannot fix the issues because no one understands how it is built any longer. It is like a Agile Wet Dream: roll that snowball down the slope of customer features long enough and don't ever redesign its innards and you get Office.
Replacing an aging narcissist who has the attention span of gnat with a Bible thumping anti-science blob of Republican platitudes is not much of step forward.
Ever try the new Morningstar portfolio mish-mash. Ugh...the old format was at least informative when you drilled down into a stock. Now it is a pile of meaningless data and graphs and still manages to miss anything directly useful.
Yeah, the fact that it was modeled on RomneyCare in Mass. and included all the whizzies that Republicans get excited about, does not absolve Obama from the blame of caving into those lunatics.
Except....not all students are educated equally. Students from inner cities and the sticks do not generally get a good education because the tax base to support it is not there. When they get to college, they need remedial work but that isn't really a substitute and they continue to struggle. Not educating them means they will be a drag on the rest of society, a notion that has never entered the head of a libertarian or conservative Republican. The Democrats flip the other way and think gender studies is somehow a growth industry.
Reading into die Fuhrer's (he's had a sex change) words is a fools errand. They are mere wisps of notions that were fizzing in his brain at the time. He has to have someone read back what he said to see what he believes on any one day.
Trump will have a fix for research too, he'll simply cut money out of the budget for it. No research, no embarrassing facts, only alternative facts generated by the new media industries of the alt-right. It will be called a jobs program.
I'm waiting for the coasts to start demanding the red interior start paying their own way. But then we'll all be paying dearly when the national debt balloons to Trumpian proportions. It will be the biggest, most lovely debt we've ever had.
Yes, well, Trump is not a strong president. You can see that in his constant references to himself as "smart" and going ballistic over every slight. He's a small-minded narcissist with the attention span of gnat.
I guess this explains his picks for EPA administrator and the other oil patch connections in his cabinet? You really that stupid to believe anything that man says?
The ME has already been broken of their stranglehold. Oil prices have been halved and they didn't do that out of concern for Americans. There were several reasons, one of which is alternative (green) energy, which el Presidente Tweety opposes. Another is frakking in the U.S. and a few other countries, no Tweety needed there. Another is oil exporters coming back on-line after wars and official stupidity, no Tweety needed there.
New Headline: Tweety claims his policies broke ME stranglehold on oil. Please read our Alternative Fact Brochure in the Lobby on your way out of our press conference and don't forget, you all get an el Presidente Tweety bobblehead to show others you were here.

Threatening Trump is easy, just ask Putin. You didn't think Trump's Putin love was deep affection, did you?

The alternatives have been debunked, what's bunk is your inability to accept the debunking.
Err...when the Republicans in Congress look between their legs and realize they too can have a pair of balls? So, never.
What's even worse are the Christian nutjobs up there on the Hill managing to dovetail their "Christian principles" to a Baby Christian who has none.

Example: Sony. Please, someone put this company out of our misery.

Evidence or stop talking out of your ass.
Wow, you cannot even be troubled to read your own link, that was the NSA, not the CIA.
Yeah, the fact that it was modeled on RomneyCare in Mass. and included all the whizzies that Republicans get excited about, does not absolve Obama from the blame of caving into those lunatics.
I take offense at you calling it a semi useless wall. It is totally useless, even as a monument to Trump's ego.

First off, it the article said "could", not will. This is just a play to Trump's ego, he's such an easy mark.
