If it was all her then that is one seriously disturbed woman.<br /><br />Trump obviously was stuck with her though how that came to be I don't understand. So many personnel decisions and non-decisions show that he either doesn't understand the importance of personnel or is having to accept unpleasant appointments (and firings) so long as he can do what's important to him. I never saw an American president more deaf and blind to his constitutional powers.<br /><br />It's one of the greatest mysteries, his approach to the mechanics of governing. Yet his tweets and speeches at his rallies do not disclose any deep understanding of law, history, or politics either. <br /><br />It's enough that he's got the political class in an uproar and they will do more to harm themselves than they realize. E.g., the Kavanaugh hearing. A Rep. Nunes, for one, would bring a deep understanding of American realities to the table were he president but such was not to be this time around or in the next four years. <br /><br />Whatever his weaknesses, Donald Trump has probably forever changed American politics though his impact could have been times 10 had he pulled out the stops on sealing the border on day one and pulled us out of Afghanistan and Syria as well. Clinton's opening the military to homosexuals right off the bat was a case study in making tough decisions.<br /><br />I swear I replied to your comment a few days back but the NSA must have parked it in a polar orbit.Col.

Trump gave her a gracious goodbye, but I doubt he'll put her in a policy-making position again.Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.com
