I have started a "Trump Diary", wherein I am keeping a running noting of the days events surrounding Mr. Trump. And there have been some uncanny things.
I thought, okay he won. I'll just give him the benefit of the doubt. And then his very first appointment was Steve Bannon a white supremacist. Dang.
There are protesters out west who don't want an oil pipeline to trip over, but good luck with that. Trump owns part of the company that wants to run that pipeline. This is so conflict of interest on so many levels.
Apparently this is going to be the Tweet Presidency. He has yet to move to Washington. He may show up Friday for the inauguration. Or maybe he tried to have it moved to New York. But I don't think there was time. They are set up in Washington. Never before have I witnessed a winning candidate who seems reluctant to move to the White House.
He is also not going to give up his Twitter account and use the POTUS account because he likes to brag about his followers.
He has engaged in a war of words with Civil Rights legend John Lewis, and therefore thirty plus Democrats are going to politely sit this inauguration out. Of course the media calls it a "boycott" for dramatic effect.
Mr. Trump has also taken on the Chancellor of Germany, and NATO. This has caused planet unrest because now many of our allies are wondering if we'll really have their back in times of crisis.
And although the Republican mantra regarding the Affordable Care Act was "Repeal and Replace" Mr. Trump now says it's going to be "Repeal and Wait." I guess they are waiting until the pharmaceuticals and HMOs can draft legislation that I am sure will be in our best interest. Because that is how these corporate suits work.
Let's hold on to our ass America. This is going to be a bumpy ride.
