“Trump has reportedly bragged to confidants that his new National Security Adviser John Bolton, who was not in the meeting, “has his back” on his desire to withdrawal from Syria.”

Because we can always bomb Iran and start a war against North Korea. Those would get better TV ratings.

The President and CEO of Phizer is today dealing with immense pressure from his 9 year old son. Billy insists on overseeing the proposed merger between his father’s conglomerate and rival Merck. Observers say it’s a coin flip as to whether Billy gets his way, and if he does both companies will just have to live with the outcome.

It has gotten to the point when Trump decides something which seems insane/stupid, I ask myself, what would Putin want? Usually that answers why an action or statement was made which makes no sense in any other context.

“Just get it done.” That’s what every terrible manager says when confronted with the realities of a situation. It’s what frightened, stupid people say. It’s a macho way of saying you have no idea how to actually solve a problem or what steps are needed to achieve a goal. You arbitrarily pick something you think will look good at the end of the quarter and tell the underlings, “Just get it done.”

‘‘Despite his irritation, Trump ultimately agreed to hold off on withdrawing U.S. troops from the region.’’

Somebody must’ve told him he’d lose money if we pulled out.
