"No other GOP presidential candidate – not Rubio, not Cruz – would have delivered on climate change in the same way as Trump has. They would, quite simply, have been overwhelmed by the swamp. So how come Trump has proved so exceptional in tackling the Green Blob? It’s not like he’ll have read lots of books on the subject because his attention span just doesn’t allow for it. No, according to Horner it’s much simpler than that. It’s because Trump does not think like a politician. Rather, Trump made his decision using much the same gut feeling he uses on his business deals – which he wasn’t sidetracked by any of the “green jobs” “save the world” crap which other politicians find so seductive…
“Here’s what I firmly believe. I’m convinced that the penny dropped for others, as it did me when Donald Trump gave his editorial board interview to the Washington Post. It’s often mocked – where he said: “I’m not a big believer in global warming. Not a big believer.” And then he continued in a very important way. And if you follow the way Donald Trump speaks it’s perfectly clear what he’s saying. He said, “You know, a lot of people are making a lot of money off of this.” "The entire transcript is worth a read. climatechangedispatch.com/solving-the-mystery-of-how-donald-trump-got-to-be-so-amazing-on-climate-change/

It shows that what is being told by the 'media' is not what is happening in the country and the media is desperate to keep what is actually happening in the country untold. At some point it will become so glaringly obvious that things will break - it may well be the media that loses, but the 'swamp' is fighting hard hence the 'special counsel' only employing Clinton lawyers and supporters. It may be a close run thing.

"Why the Trump dynasty will last sixteen years EDWARD N. LUTTWAK Could a Trump dynasty in the White House survive for three more elections? In Washington DC, post-electoral stress disorder has generated a hysteria still amply manifest after eight months: the “Russian candidate” impeachment campaign implies that any contact with any Russian by anyone with any connection to Donald Trump was ipso facto treasonous. The quality press is doing its valiant best to pursue this story, but it is a bit much to claim “collusion” – a secret conspiracy – given that, during the election campaign, Trump very publicly called on the Russians to hack and leak Hillary Clinton’s missing emails.

What You Read is Not Always Reality The Uber-Liberal Media have made their bed ... and the public isn't stupid. www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/august_2017/most_gop_voters_say_trump_will_never_make_the_media_happyThe latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 63% of Likely Republican Voters believe that it is not possible for President Trump to do anything that the media will approve of. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Among voters who Strongly Approve of the job Trump is doing, 84% feel that way.
Even voters not affiliated with either major political party by a 50% to 32% margin say it is not possible for the president to ever do anything the media will sign off on.

I notice that the stock market sentiment seems to be that Trump caused today's selloff, and that Trump is an oaf, and that the future is cloudy because he is incompetent. And since the market is reading it this way, it is hard for me not to also see it that way, because I am trying to day trade, and his tweets cause punishing sell-offs. See how easy it is to get sucked in to the swamp??

Even voters not affiliated with either major political party by a 50% to 32% margin say it is not possible for the president to ever do anything the media will sign off on. 100% of voters are growing tired of President Trump's constant tweets. He needs to stop, take two deep breaths and choose his words carefully. Throughout history Politicians have made great use of technology. Hitler was the first politician to use the airplane as a campaign tool. He covered 10 times as much area in Germany as his competition did riding trains. Ron Paul and President Obama made huge strides raising cash using the internet as a platform. President Trump has used Twitter to bypass the media bias to get his "unfiltered" word out to the public. Which is great when you have a clear cut objective that you want circulated directly to the public. But sometimes you got to know when to STFU! Apparently Mr. Trump has no grasp of this. No man is an island. Mr. Trumps Business Advisory Group has bailed on him. Staffers come and go like the wind. He has had public squabbles with just about everyone in Washington.
