Donald Trump is inscrutable, hard to figure out, as he meets with critics and opponents, such as Mitt Romney and Al Gore, and ignores many loyal supporters, including Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie. He seems to be a true Machiavellian.
The latter two went to bat for Trump, and are now being pushed aside. At the same time, Romney is being courted, and Trump has such good things to say about him, although the dangling of the State Department is continuing into a third week.
Meeting Al Gore, after daughter Ivanka had a meeting with the former Vice President, was a surprise, and Gore had good things to say about Trump, and yet, then Trump hires a climate denier, Scott Pruitt, Oklahoma Attorney General, to run the Environmental Protection Agency.
Who is the real Donald Trump is anyone’s guess, but he is having loads of fun as all sorts of people are coming to Trump Tower and kissing his ring.
But the signs are clear that Trump, no matter who else he appoints, is going to be a revolutionary figure of the Right, cooperating much more than we might have thought before the campaign’s end, with the Republican leadership in Congress!
His cabinet picks tell us who he is. Everything else is just a distraction.
CIA confirms that the Russians helped Trump win. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/12/09/the-cia-concluded-russia-worked-to-elect-trump-republicans-now-face-an-impossible-choice/
Just heard Lawrence talking about it. Guarantee you that’s why the Siberian Candidate won’t release his taxes.
This fits the definition of treason. Clearly our election laws are designed to proscribe foreign influence and it is demonstrably proven that Trump’s team was colluding with Russia (Manafort, et.al.,). Trump and Pence must immediately resign and given that HRC won the popular vote by nearly 3 million, any electoral college elector with even a scrap of honor or decency must elect HRC as President on December 19.
LOL! Half of the comments on the WaPo article are Trumpers claiming the Obama administration did the hacking but is trying to blame Russia, or that it’s all a phony ploy by Obama so he can somehow set aside the election in favor of Hillary, or that WaPo made the whole thing up as fake news and there was no CIA briefing, etc. Those people have zero interest in facts or reality. They are unreachable, period.
Former Republican, I share your dream and wishes, but it is NOT going to happen, sadly!
Remember that 60’s song by Johnny Rivers?
“There’s a man who leads a life of danger,
To the GOP and Dems he stays a stranger,
With every move he makes, another chance he takes,
Odds are we won’t live to see tomorrow.
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They’ve given you the election and now you,’ve taken away our name”….
Trump has chosen Rex Tillerson, CEO of ExxonMobil, for Secretary of State. He has close ties with Vladimir Putin and Russia, which makes the Russian government’s interference in our election more and more disturbing.

This is the moment Alexander Hamilton warned us about.

Rick Perry is a candidate for Energy Secretary. LOL!

Yet another reason why Trump is unqualified for the job of President. http://shareblue.com/trump-says-he-does-not-need-intelligence-briefings-because-he-is-a-smart-person/
