Rick Wilson: White House Plutocrats v Racists
http://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-death-match-plutocrats-vs-racists
| Quote: |
Trump faced a choice; he could have Mnuchin, Cohn, Mattis, McMaster, and the grownups in the room, or he could have eminence gross Steve Bannon and his band of misfit toys. It’s not without risk of Bannon snapping, but after having his head caved in on issue after issue, Trump has decided Team Goldman and the Swamp dwellers are more to his liking. The rise of Jared and Ivanka (no, I will not use that portmanteau to describe them, ever) is another triumph for the Goldman Branch of the Trump government; lavishly raised in the bluest-of-blue Manhattan bubble, they’re as far away from the average Trump voter as Stephen Hawking is from a slime mold.
As for Trump’s base, if they can briefly rouse themselves from their Fox-n-OxyContin stupor, they’d realize they were conned by the populist scam and that the White House today is run by people more than willing to leverage every tool in the D.C. toolbox to enrich the Wall Street mothership.
. . .
Every single thing Republicans hated with the fire of a million suns during the George W. Bush compassionate conservative era and the Obama years is hardwired into the plutocrats in charge of the White House now.
. . .
The losers in this fight? Trump’s base.
They get nothing.
No Wall.
No Chinese currency manipulation declaration.
No Obamacare repeal.
No end to NAFTA.
No trade wars.
The next thing you know, Trump won’t deliver on his promises of a zillion coal miners heading down-pit on the daily. |
The 100-day metric was a little artificial. But Congress now prepares to head into Summer recess. We can say some things. All Trump has accomplished appears to be select ban on refugees from six countries, which SCOTUS has ensured really will be temporary. The GOP did gut a whole slew of consumer and environmental protections (the gullible call them by the plutocrat term "regulations.") |

The ban is a good thing, even if temporary.
The stock market is up.
Kicked out Obozo Care, a good thing.
Bringing in investments from other countries.
Most, if not all, of the things Trump has promised are in the works.
No need to keep on with the FAKE NEWS. Put the CNN brushes away.
We are taking back the country.

Based on false ideas about Muslims. Also, Trump cravenly left off majority Muslim countries which really did have terrorists from those countries, but Trump left those countries off because he has business interests there. Ban is based on prejudice. Trump even tweeted that he aas lying to the courts about the ban.

And how is Trump responsible for that?

Not yet, thankfully. But Trump has abandoned all pretense of caring about people; he's calling for ACA to be repealed without a replacement. Note that many veterans will be harmed by the repeal of ACA. Why do you consider that to be a good thing?
Also note the term "Obozo" is a racist epithet against the last president.

Trump admitted that he lied to his supporters to get them to vote for him. Hs promises are worthless.

What actual prood do you have that CNN is "fake news"? Trump's claims about immigrants, voters, Muslims, and others have been shown to be false. Why do you condemn a reputable news agency for competent reporting but laud the chief fake news spewer?
