It’ll be interesting to see how the former reality TV show host plays this. Is this part of Making America Great Again?

I suppose the best solution is to build the Wall.
Or to Lock Her Up.
Or to repeat, “No Collusion.”

The rest of the world envisions a future with less use of oil. The auto manufacturers are moving to electric vehicles and closing plants that are not designed to produce the cars of the near future.

How important is our relationship with Saudi Arabia if the market for oil keeps shrinking?

In all fairness to Trump, this will be just a blip on the radar after the Ukrainian crisis triggers World War III.

Kushner seems to be doing pretty good, got bailed out of the white elephant on Fifth Avenue and got himself a nice hotel, Fat cats all over the country are enjoying unprecedented windfall with their nearly tax free stock buy backs. And polluters and environment wreckers can’t even remember so much winning. The Military-industrial complex has so much money that they have trouble in finding where to spend it. And what about the NRA, gun makers and assorted traders of death? They feel in heaven.

So yes there is a lot of winning happening, just not for the #MAGA hat wearing morons. But they’re still happy because they are sticking it to the liberals and the elites.
