"Trumps government looks an awful lot like a badly run business, No wonder his companies kept going

bankrupt," by Catherine Rampell at the Washington Post

If this is what “running government like a business” looks like, it’s no wonder President Trump’s companies kept going bankrupt.

One week into the presidency, we’ve gotten a taste of Trump’s management style. And so far it’s been plagued by many of the bad habits common to poorly run businesses.

Take, for example, his administration’s clear indifference to — or outright rejection of — good measurement and analytics.

Conclusion at best: Trumpy is inept. Great article, well worth the read.

All those millions of people who cast illegitimate ballots against Trump may be imaginary, but they

sure are smart when it comes to voting." - Frank Conniff

"If Trump can prove he won the popular vote, it will lead to legislation that could reverse decades of his father never saying he loved him." - Frank Conniff

The only explanation for Spicer:

Trump thinks if his ratings are low, his show will get cancelled.

Let's make that happen.

The story of a gullible chump who is getting Trumped

After helping deliver Trump victory, the prize comes at a high price
By Stephanie McCrummen of the Washington Post

CANTON, Ohio — He had opened a Trump campaign office in an old tanning salon, waved Trump signs and knocked on doors right up until Election Day, and now Ralph Case, a home contractor in paint-splattered jeans, went to his mailbox and pulled out a thick envelope with a Washington, D.C., return address.

While it is easy to ridicule this moron, I can only feel sorry for him. What a colossal sucker.
