Trump Writing His Own White House Rules

[DonViejo]

December 23, 2016By Taegan Goddard

“President-elect Donald Trump has said he might do away with regular press briefings and daily intelligence reports. He wants to retain private security while receiving secret service protection, even after the inauguration. He is encouraging members of his family to take on formal roles in his administration, testing the limits of anti-nepotism statutes. And he is pushing the limits of ethics laws in trying to keep a stake in his business,” Politico reports.

“In a series of decisions and comments since his election last month — from small and stylistic preferences to large and looming conflicts — Trump has signaled that he intends to run his White House much like he ran his campaign: with little regard for tradition. And in the process of writing his own rules, he is shining a light on how much of the American political system is encoded in custom, and how little is based in the law.”

1. It just dawned on me that he insists on keeping his business in the family because of all

the fraud and unethical, if not criminal, practices will be exposed if he doesn't keep it just between them.

4. Well, that was the starting point

of such speculation in my reckoning.

2. it's also shining a law on how inept our media is

they can generate non-stop outrage over hillary's emails -- where she did absolutely nothing wrong and the same thing republican had done before -- and muster more than a bewildered stare when donnie violates all kinds of basic principles of good governance and decent behavior even where it might be technically legal.

3. So much of this disaster rests on the media.

Now they scramble, some in their PJs, as they try to figure out the new world order & their place in it, so they can keep their cushy six-figure salaries.
