    The Trump Card...

    With multiple, Republican-initiated investigations underway, the media will cover and speculate about them of course. However, there is much Trump could do to minimize the coverage and produce other stories that would dominate the news cycle and thereby reduce the negative results of the...

    The Trump Card...

    OK. I guess I do know that "the left" wants to do and you are correct. They will never miss a chance to cast anything in the most Trump-negative light they can. Sorta like Trump did with the Obama birther thing and virtually everything else he said about Obama during the campaign and before. In...

    I get that. My point is simply that Trump's health is not a political thing for me.

    The Trump Card...

    I don't know what "the left" wants to do with the golf cart thing (Trump taking a cart when other world leaders walked 700 yards). I'm simply observing this fact. It jumps out to me because I'm a gym owner. Health and fitness is on my mind all day every day. For three years I have seen people of...

    The Trump Card...

    That's true and there is no way to refute the theory that behind the craziness, Trump is crazy like a fox; a crafty, intentional person who is working seemingly negative things to his advantage. That theory can only be answered with another theory, which itself would be irrefutable because there...

    The Trump Card...

    Is anyone else plain tired of the idiotic, Trump-harmful way the Trumps are managing the Russia thing, and especially the meeting referenced above. Now we hear from a Trump attorney of an eighth person in the room but details are not disclosed. The Trumps and Trump team have been dribbling out...

    The Trump Card...

    I have commented about Trump's health and fitness before. This info from Politico provides an additional indicator: During his visit to Saudi Arabia in May, rather than walk, the president hopped a ride in a cart as he toured the National Museum in Riyadh. And a few days later, while six other...

    The Trump Card...

    Even if it was true that the investigators in the Special Counsel's office were as unobjective and anti-Trump as you suggest, the investigators have a burden journalists do not; at least if they want to charge someone with a violation of law. They must make a case sufficient to be accepted by a...

    The Trump Card...

    In this Fox News piece, Fox News analyst Howard Kurtz criticizes the slow pace at which Trump and his people release relevant facts. Kurtz cites the book Truth to Tell: Tell It All, Tell It Early, Tell It Yourself and says, "The Trump team might check it out if it wants to stop getting...

    The Trump Card...

    It depends on the person, does it not? Senators sometimes become governors, governors sometimes become senators and business people sometimes become both. Whether a person can make the transition from one domain to another depends more on that person's ability to adapt than anything else. That...

    The Trump Card...

    If an inexperienced truck driver, new behind the wheel, drives a big rig into a low bridge and thereby causes a HAZMAT spill with a non-placarded truck, should that be dismissed as a lot to do about nothing? The inexperience argument fails because Trump and his associates are in a real...

    The Trump Card...

    I have no doubt this happened. All campaigns and political organizations try to control the narrative. While I believe what you cite did indeed happen, I do not think it had an effect beyond the next news cycle or two. Hillary is over. She is yesterday's news. Most of her campaign operatives...

    The Trump Card...

    The answer to your question depends on who is being asked. To some, the big deal is the baseless and unfair reporting that is intended to destroy Trump. To others, the big deal is the profound threat to the integrity of our voting process that may exist. To still others, the big deal is morally...

    The Trump Card...

    And they do so at their own peril. I am troubled by the polling that shows a long-term decline of American trust in American institutions. People don't trust the government, the press, and a number of other institutions like they did decades ago. This trust has declined over a long period of...

    The Trump Card...

    Journalists and the commentators you see in the newspaper columns and TV news are not stupid. They are highly educated, highly intelligent people who, in an industry filled with the same have made it to the top of the game. That said, the anti-Trump journalists and commentators are indeed making...

    The Trump Card...

    I think the investigators will follow the facts to wherever they lead, including Hillary's campaign, if they lead in that direction. I believe this because the team is led by a lawman who is widely regarded as a person of integrity. I also believe it because a person who contributes money to a...

    The Trump Card...

    It seems most people -- Democrats, Republicans and independents alike -- believe that Trump would be better off if he simply stopped tweeting. He has no doubt been told to do so many times by people on his staff but he persists. I attribute that to his intense narcissism. While it is not...

    According to the man (Rosenstein) who appointed the Special Counsel (Mueller), it has not yet been determined if any law has been violated. In the Justice Department news release explaining Rosenstein's decision to appoint a Special Counsel, Rosenstein says, " “My decision is not a finding that...

    I hope readers notice that I seldom cite or react to news reports that quote an unnamed source. The Trump Jr. email chain is different because the source is named. It's Trump Jr. himself. The set of facts the Trump Jr. document contains is not fake. It's not from the media. It's not from the...
