THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[Carsman]

As for news (I don't do "fake news").....nothing too surprising.

-- President Trump's at war with media who cover unfavorable news about him or news that contradicts his claims (which he calls "fake news").

-- President Trump's mad at the FBI for a couple of reasons.

-- President Trump's at odds with some in the Department of Homeland Security now because their draft investigatory report doesn't back his claims that banning immigration from the 7 countries in his Executive Order will reduce terrorist threats in the U.S. The draft report says what most of us already know; no one in the U.S. has been killed by a terrorist from any of those countries and the risk of attacks by refugees and illegal immigrants is so low; lower than dying falling out of bed or being shot to death by a toddler. The report also states that attempting to tie threat level to nation-of-origin isn't effective, over half of the terrorist attacks and would-be terrorist attacks in the U.S. are at the hands of natural born U.S. citizens.

-- President Trump's new NSA Adviser, McMaster, does not agree with his boss when it comes to the public use of the label "radical Islamic terrorists". McMaster is in-line with Obama, Clinton, and much of the intelligence community on this one. He told his staff that Islam isn't the problem, it's the perversion of Islam by a small minority and that using that label feeds into the terrorists' goal of making it appear the West hates Muslims. McMaster suggests the derogatory term "Daesh" instead. I don't think Trump will change his lingo, but don't expect to hear McMaster using the label "radical Islamist terrorists."

--Two months ahead of the event, President Trump has announced he won't be attending the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner. From what I've seen, the press plans to continue as usual with the event which celebrates the First Amendment, recognizes excellence in journalism over the year, and awards scholarships to future journalist with great potential.

That's because the Donald is (will be) too busy working with all his suppliers on getting his infamous WALL built!

(It's really hard work ya know!)

Beginning to think/feel that the Donald is positively like a fish out of water! I had so hoped he would have changed (act more mature) when he became POTUS!
