DJT is the first president we've had in a very long time who has not come from within the System™. Lobbyists have no influence with him, because DJT did not rely on them to get elected. K Street has found itself frozen out of Executive policy, and the lobbyists are of course all in trying to bring Trump in line because if they don't their munificent paychecks might go away out of sudden obsolescence.<br /><br />This, I think, is really where the Never Trump side of the GOP really comes from, they are terrified that Trump will disrupt the nice gravy train that has built up, layer upon layer, in and around Washington D.C. Many tens of thousands depend on the Game™, and Trump threatens that Game.<br /><br />There are trillions of dollars at stake, so therefore Trump Must Be Broken.™Unknownsailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384464603647986681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-22600390417513999442018-05-23T10:39:44.918-04:002018-05-23T10:39:44.918-04:00After all the years of reading your insights, I gu...After all the years of reading your insights, I guess I've picked up a little ability to occasionally view around a few corners to see ulterior motives. Although I wasn't thinking about the control aspect... more along the lines the corrupt establishment wouldn't want to deal with someone they weren't sure they could buy out or manipulate. <br /><br />Although, as in Frank Capra's "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," they could always manufacture corruption in an attempt to drive him out. Come to think of it, we just might be seeing something similar going on in the Mueller investigation.<br /><br />Not that DJT is as decent and wholesome as Jimmy Stewart's character. But he is not naive as to be easy to manipulate, and IS pretty much incorruptible by anything the establishment can offer. And if they can't control or corrupt DJT, he must be destroyed -- if only as an example to others.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445328419607697910noreply@blogger.com
