attention away from his agenda by getting millions of people to follow his outrageous comments and tweets.

He is successfully pursuing his agenda of border wall-building, hollowing out our government, replacing competent people in government with incompetents, moving government agencies out of Washington to remote places where the all be less effective in safeguarding our interests, terrorizing undocumented workers, building and filling concentration camps for people legally seeking asylum, defending white supremacy and moving it into the mainstream, advancing Putin and Russian government foreign policy and global economic agenda, resisting and blocking legitimate congressional inquiries into his actions and conflicts of interest, financial and other crimes, making money off his governmental service, and packing the Supreme Court and federal judiciary with unqualified right wing ideologues and persons who will do his bidding, damaging and destroying our international alliances.....

Trump's statements are the equivalent of kicking sand in the eyes of his opponents while he he keeps advancing his agenda. He has been successful for almost three years.

Why keep taking the bait?

come from staffers and former staffers. The dismantling of institutions and hollowing out of departments came from Bannon who is a follower of Russian Alexander Duggin's destructionist philosophy. His border wall and border policies come from the head of the little nazi Stephen Miller. His stacking of the courts with right wing judges is just a continuation of Moscow Mitch's agenda.

trump himself has no policy. It all comes from whoever has his ear last.

You really shouldn't be giving that narcissistic, megalomaniacal lunatic credit for anything but being able to get himself dressed. I suppose you also think he was a brilliant businessman?

There are kids in cages though on the border, families separated. Some parents deported and away from their kids. Kim is building and testing missiles again. He just got back from an embarrassing performance at the G7, where he further alienated our allies while pushing for Putin to be readmitted.—he claimed Putin outsmarted Obama as the reason he was pushed out of what was formerly the G8 when everyone but his demented brain knows Russia was expelled because they annexed territory of another country by military force.
