The Main Stream Media and President Trump - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " 'I'm in a room full of liars': Trump reams execs and anchors from 'the dishonest media' at 'candid' meeting at Trump Tower that turned into a 'f****ng firing squad "

Lets Get Real:

The main stream media HATE Donald Trump, to some since election day this has been one long horror show, the problem is that they have four to eight of years of this to go through.  In the case of Trump the press media have to keep a eye on Trump, they will miss the hell out of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.   Nixon hated the press and it showed, while the Gipper did not need the press, he spoke to the people from the Oval Office.   In 2016 the press showed they wanted Hillary Clinton to win, if you looked at the press stories, press and TV most of it was anti Trump, one can see why Trump is not happy, but that does not matter, he is President of the United States and should act like it, he should answer press questions, it comes with the job, most Presidents hate the press by the end, it is the fourth arm of Government, it keeps the Oval and Hill honest.   

Nigel Farage VERY much OUT - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Nigel Farage has accused Downing Street of putting its dislike of him ahead of the national interest after No 10 dismissed Donald Trump's comment that he could be a "great" ambassador. "

Lets Get Real:

The UK Government was correct to rebuff the idea from President Trump that Nigel Farage would be a good Ambassador, at the end of the day it is up to the PM, if Trump wants to appoint Mr Farage the US Ambassador to the UK that is up to him, I doubt the HILL will go for it.  We are in a new ERA, is new always good?   The British PM should visit Mr Trump  in New York this year, to put him the picture, and if possible curb his antics when it comes to Mr Farage.

Obama AFTER the Oval Office - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Barack Obama has said he may speak out after leaving office if he feels his successor Donald Trump is threatening core American values. "

Lets Get Real:

In other words President Obama will do a Jimmy Carter, another former that has been critical of his successors, the question is will any one care, being a former President can be the worse place to be, your the former guy, the news is in the Oval Office, you can't run for the Presidency again, and there are others who want to be leaders of the Party.   The best examples of former Presidents are Bush 41 and Bush 43, neither was critical of his successor, in the case of Bush 41 it was Bill Clinton and for Bush 43 it was Obama, and it could be argued that Bush 43 had just cause to be critical as for most of his first term Obama blamed him for everything.    Let's see how long President Obama can be quiet after January 20th 2017.

Trump and ObamaCare - Trump Era

Politico: Reports " President-elect Donald Trump will prioritize repealing President Barack Obama's landmark healthcare law right "out of the gate” once he takes office, Vice-President elect Mike Pence said Sunday. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus President Trump is taking the fight to the Democrats, it can be argued that ObamaCare helped Trump get elected in the first place, even since its passing it has cost the Democrats in every election cycle, with the exception of 2012.   The rates have gone through the roof, and Democrats up for re-election in 2018 Mid Terms will want to work out how ObamaCare's negative aspects might hurt them in their individual races.   In making ObamaCare the first thing to deal with the Trump Oval will be keeping faith with its base.

Romney for Secretary of State ? - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US Vice-President-elect Mike Pence has confirmed that Mitt Romney is being considered for the post of secretary of state, among others. "

Lets Get Real:

THIS would be a shock move President Trump, neither men had a nice thing to say about each other in the 2016 Primary fight or afterwards, Romney lead attempts right up to the convention to get another nominee.   It would be a clear signal to Russia that US foreign policy would not be that easy after the kind words of Trump when it comes to Putin.  Governor Romney sees Russia as its enemy, he stated that in his debates with President Obama in 2012.   Of course the meeting could be a way for Trump to divert attention while he picks his White House team and Cabinet.

VP Pence vs. The Theatre - Trump Era

Guardian: Reports " Trump vs Hamilton: actor rejects claim Mike Pence was 'harassed'..‘Conversation is not harassment sir,’ Donald Trump told by Brandon Victor Dixon, who spoke directly to vice-president from stage after he was booed by patrons "

Lets Get Real:

WHY, WHY do actors think that the paying public should have to put with them expanding their political views on the stage.   IF actors want to go into politics they should run for public office, let's see Ronald Reagan ran, so did the Terminator, WHY are liberals afraid to run.    They are looked after, told they are great, and talk to people who agree with them, the Vice - President Elect should have been allowed to watch a musical without the political PR at the end of the play.   Decorum, Decorum!

The Queen and President Trump - Trump Era

Mail on Sunday: Reports " The Queen's our trump card: Theresa May to use Her Majesty as the 'secret weapon' to win over the Donald "

Lets Get Real:

One now sees why the Government gave the Queen extra money to rebuild Buck House, one does hope that the PM asked if Her Majesty if she was alright at the prospect of meeting the 45th President of United States.   The strategic move is very wise, the Queen over the years has had to put up with many a Head of State she might have not liked, if it gets the UK a good trade deal, well that is money well spent.   On the Trump Cabinet Governor Huckabee was on Fox News yesterday and confirmed that he had turned down a Cabinet post.  A Daily Mail article had it on good sources that Huckabee would be made Ambassador to Israel, that story now seems wrong.   This blog tries to keep up to date, thus error can happen in its reporting.
