Trump: I have been busy Making Amerika Great Again. Its hard work. I need more meetings with Putin to bring Russian style of governance to our democracy.

This sounds like he’s not trusted by the current administration, why should they. Hoping the imaginary gun he’s point to his head becomes real.

Hey, he’s deep in those small ball Carrier AC negotiations…Then, it’s on to convincing Kraft to market Lunchables as Dinnerables since Trump enjoyed them on night flights back to his Tower during the campaign.

He’s playing President because the real thing is just too hard.

While Vice President-elect Mike Pence has set aside time to meet with intelligence analysts almost every day since Trump’s unexpected election victory, Trump has only received two briefings, according to a report by the Washington Post citing unnamed officials.

Has anyone checked on John Kasich?

It’s not just that he’s supremely lazy, incurious, and unable to pay attention to any topic for more than a few minutes. I think this is also that total lack of government experience that wasn’t a problem because we had to “get somebody new in there.” I’ve talked with all kinds of people, from Senators on down to township supervisors, people at all levels, and there’s a fundamental thing they learn over time, which is that they’re responsible for the safety and welfare of the people in the communities they help govern. Are the emergency services comprehensive and efficient? How’s their funding? What condition are the water pipes in? What’s the plan if there’s a gas-main break? Are the police and emergency communication systems adequate to a mass emergency? How often has the regional disaster-preparedness plan been updated? On and on. This man has never soaked that in, and it would be a huge handicap to his thinking even if he was good at thinking and learning generally, even if his intentions were good. He isn’t and they aren’t, though. So this is really a problem.

He’s not having intel briefings because there are no PR benefits to him.

Speaking of PR benefits—read the reviews on this—You’ll laugh a lot.

For example:
"It called Mary a nasty woman, told Joseph to go back where he came from, built a wall around the manger, and then when you press it it sings “I’m Dreaming Of A Totally White Christmas.”

He prefers to be (a noisy and corrupt) Queen with Pence as Prime Minister. This is Bush/Cheney all over again with disastrous results predictable.

Maybe they’re checking out his foreign ties first. And I’m being serious.

What, is he waiting in the wings for when Trump is impeached for mixing business and government to line his own pocket (or colluding with the Russians)?

Yep. He just wanted to be king. And loved by everyone as he sat on his throne.
