I'm keeping a Trump diary and I'm finding is hard to keep up.
Discord in the White House staff. Bannon is bounced from the National Security Committee and threatens to quit, but of course won't.
Last night Trump launched several missiles at Syria. At an airfield. It did no real damage. It did not destroy any chemical weapons. However as usual there is a rally around the flag moment today and after launching a couple bombs is suddenly compared to Reagan. Laughable, but true.
After his first jobs report (after fall from the Obama Administration) Trump announced 'they were all false in the past, but this one's real.' Today and new one came out and it was a dismal failure and huge drop in job creation. So much for all that hooplah.
Trump has gone to his Florida place 6 times since taking office, costing the taxpayers 12 million dollars. He complained about Obama's vacation days (the least in history) but gets away with this by calling them "working weekends." He plays a lot of golf on working weekends. He's down there with China's leader for a day out of the weekend now.
The Republican Health Care went down in flames. VP Pence held and emergency trying hard to sell it but it crashed and burned for a second time. Trumps son-in-law Jerrod went on an overseas trip acting as the Secretary of State while Rex Tillerson has yet to do anything.
The head of the Russian Investigation Committee Senator Nunes, was summoned to the White House late at night and supposedly witnessed some information. Before sharing with the committee, he ran to the President and revealed the information. This showed that he was a President Trumps whipping boy first and the investigation chair second. After days of outcry he finally stepped down as the chair of the committee.
The Gorsuch nomination was stalled by a filibuster in the Senate by the Democrats, but the most evil man in America, Mitch McConnell used the nuclear option changing the vote to only need a 50+ vote majority. 200 years of tradition at the Founding Fathers request down the drain. I hope this haunts them someday. But Gorsuch was confirmed and the Republicans successfully rigged the Court.
And these are just a few of the tidbits from the last few days. Stay tuned friends and buckle up. This is going to be a bumpy ride.
