I tried, so very hard. I put all my efforts and I did everything I could to be genuinely shocked...but I just can't.
Just remember, Donald Trump was friends with the Clintons for YEARS. Donald Trump donated more money to Democrats than Republicans for years. [Caveat: He did mention once that he only bribes people who were easy to buy.]
Just because Donald Trump put on a good show of "Hillary Clinton is our enemy." does NOT mean that he ever believed it.
That's Bush and Clinton at Nancy Reagan's funeral. What bitter enemies they must be. Remember all the mean things she said about him (for political points)?
I will say again as I have said to my Trumpian friends: I won't trust him until 2021, with Hillary Clinton in prison and the country turned around from our catastrophic course.
That doesn't mean I oppose him. I just sit quietly in the middle, waiting. Though things like this push me gently towards opposition.
Did anyone really believe that Rex Tillerson and Jeff Sessions could be trusted? Or McMaster? those POS's should be swinging from the gallows.
I have to admit that I was hoping the new crew under Trump would be a major upgrade compared to the POS's that Obama had in some posts.
At the rate that Trump is running through people in different posts, perhaps his second round of picks will be an improvement?
On balance I still believe Trumps picks are superior to Obamas. Mostly all adults, without a chip on their shoulders from day one.
I agree with your assessment here. They have mostly been more adult, for sure. There are a few people I would like to see out, but it's still pretty damn early too. Whenever I feel hope for a politician, my memory takes hold of my emotion and throws a cold cup of water in it's face, so I am always divided. On the one hand I expect them to fail me, and be a complete disgrace. On the other, if they don't...man, that would feel SOO good!
I hate to say "I hope..." but that's really what it comes to... I hope that round 2 is more in line with the interests of America, and barnacles like Mnuchin are scraped off this US vessel.
