    The Trump Card...

    Those are your words, not mine, Turtle. I did not say it, and intentionally so. You are putting words in my mouth that I myself am not saying. Hear what you wish to hear. I know what I am saying, I know what I mean and I am confident readers will know it also.Some won't and that's fine. Such is...

    The Trump Card...

    I did not say that and I was intentionally careful not to. Obviously Trump is fit to lead his business. His business accomplishments are proof positive of that. But I do not believe his particular style of leadership is a good fit for the seat he is about to take. There is a subtle but important...

    The Trump Card...

    I have met the man. At the time it was not for the purpose of assessing him, but I have met and interacted with Trump six times. My meetings with Trump were in a limo ride from the MSP airport to a hotel in the northern suburbs, in an office at the Minnesota State Capitol, at a public banquet...

    The Trump Card...

    You are exactly right. Every human being has a little narcissism in him or her. The difference with Trump is he is a full-blown narcissist, hard-wired in a way that prevents him from being anything else. The resource you pointed to classifies narcissism as a disorder. Trump would not see it that...

    The Trump Card...

    Your perception is correct. Narcissism is central to my understanding of Trump, my interpretation of his words and deeds, and prediction about his future. During the campaign, many of Trump's words and deeds were inexplicable to me. Why does he say and do these things that are not only...

    The Trump Card...

    While the Trump honeymoon masks it now, the Republican party may very well be the next one to fly apart. The Democratic party is in an awful spot now with no leadership and no articulated agenda. A newly elected party chair is unlikely to change that much. But for Trump, the Republican party...

    The Trump Card...

    Trump's business skills will carry him only so far. His lack of political experience, his narcissistic character traits, the worldwide scope of the office and the fact that not everyone in the world wants to make a deal will test Trump in ways he has never been tested before. He will also be...

    Electronic logs

    This driver was saying no paperwork, as in no paper documents to even scan. BOL is on his phone and the shippers and consignees sign on his phone screen.

    The Trump Card...

    I posted the Trump-positive article ("11 Times Donald Trump Looked Like He Was Done For") and the Rasmussen poll results above to establish a baseline. Today's baseline is the point from which Trump's future support can be measured. While I may be wrong, and am open to that possibility, I...

    The Trump Card...

    For reference, here's results from one of the previous polls. Both may be correct (more or less as any poll is). They were done at different times. A Pew Research opinion poll conducted between Nov. 30 and Dec. 5, after the election had cast the usual victor’s glow on Donald Trump, indicated...

    The Trump Card...

    Wow! You are right. A Google search today for news stories about these Rasmussen poll results produces a nearly blank page. Even Trump-friendly Fox news does not appear in the search results. A search of the Fox News site produces many mentions of Rasmussen but none about this 51% poll result...

    Electronic logs

    An OTR big-rig driver came in to use our gym a couple days ago. He recently changed carriers to one that is totally paperless and he was thrilled about it. NO PAPERWORK!, he exclaimed. His electronic logging is done with his Qualcom unit. All other paperwork, including BOL signatures, is done on...

    The Trump Card...

    Par for the course. Part of the game. Obama was subject to similar scrutiny. So were prior presidents. Just part of the game.

    That is my point exactly. The showmanship on the front porch, while understandable, is nothing more than that.

    The Trump Card...

    It just occurred to me how Trump can advance the cause of term limits in a truly meaningful and effective way. To establish term limits, the U.S. Constitution must be amended. There are two ways to do that. One way is by 2/3 vote in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate. The other way is to call...

    The Trump Card...

    Key word: "feel." You hit it exactly. I don't think it is about logic or even results. The amount of support Trump retains will depend on how his supporters FEEL about him in a year or so.
