‘I just don’t like Muslim people’: Trump appointee resigns after racist, sexist and anti-gay remarks

[Tsing Tao]

I must admit to a certain itch scratch reading the FusionGPS transcript where they uncovered that Trump has survived because of a number of trusts set up by his father.

Trump has some talents (in manipulating people to work hard for him until they get sick of his shit) however he is seriously erratic as only the best narcissists are. Had he not been born rich? Prison early or just a mildly successful business? I'm sure he would have been bankrupted once or twice in either reality.

The only fault I find in your above statement is that the same thoughts are not applied equally to folks like Clinton, Obama, etc.

Racism is not just a white thing, unless you're watching the news of course.

Ain't that the F'n truth!

The personnel problem in the White House is becoming a legitimate issue. What kind of policy crafting is really coming out of this place with these bottom of the barrel staffers?

It is a legitimate issue. When you're an anti-business-as-usual outsider and political novice, it's very hard to find people who are experienced and who share your agenda. Trump made a big mistake getting his family involved, which created discord with the few staffers who supported his agenda. It's unprecedented to have key figures, such as his chief of staff and Nat Security director, being people who clearly did not support him. Ditto Gary Cohn and much of the econ staff.

The result is we get an historic election where the republican candidate brings in tons of new voters from the white working class and all he can get out of a republican congress is a big tax giveaway for their donors.
