Whatever happened to collusion?

Remember when the Mueller investigation began and the focus was on the Trump campaigns ‘collusion’ with Russia? Oddly enough, that word has vanished from all reporting. I wonder why? It’s even stranger that every media outlet has dropped using that phrase and is now calling it a ‘conspiracy’ instead. It’s almost like all the liberal media outlets were involved in some kind of ‘collusion’ to change their story.

The second most livable city in the world

After losing the ‘Most livable city in the world’ title to Vienna, MSN ran a story stating that Melbourne still has a few things on the Austrian capital. Yeah, Sudanese gang attacks. I wonder if this is the approach needed to halt violent immigrant gangs? Not through reason, or evidence of multiple crimes, but appealing to Melbournites utter pretension?

Give them nothing, but take from them everything!

Omarosa signed an agreement and, you guessed it, talked. If there is one thing the Trump Presidency should teach Republicans, it’s that people willing to trade their silence for money are just as willing to trade it back for more cash. In future, give them nothing – they’ll just talk anyway.

You’re not on The Apprentice anymore

President Trump really shouldn’t fire so many people.

I can empathize that it must be frustrating coming from the ultra-fast private sector, where things get achieved, into the snail-pace public sector that spawned the term red tape (post-American Civil in fact). Such an approach though causes three issues. One, it makes his administration appear chaotic and lacking in control. Two, it makes him seem petty and vindictive; well, more so than he usually appears. And three, he’s creating future enemies which can be used against him.

The Commentariat are out to get him and he’s actively giving them insiders e.g. Omarosa Manigault, Sally Yates, Preet Bharara, Steve Bannon, Rex Tillerson, HR McMaster, David Shulkin, Anthony Scaramucci – not to mention all those who have resigned. President Trump may not understand how the public service works, but he does understand advertising and this is hurting his brand.

Stop firing people Mr President. This will be your undoing.
