Is Trump Nuts?

I'd probably give it all away, starting with paying off everything my friends and family owe. Probably would make a few upgrades to the house and buy a decent car. Then I'd keep just enough for myself to live comfortably off the interest until I died and leave that to my niece when I'm gone.

Money is nothing but trouble. I don't need much to survive.

That Wall can't wait 8 years. Building the Trump Wall on Mexican soil will not happen so-long as Trump is President because he deeply offended the Mexicans. After Trump's loudmouth said Mexico would pay for the Trump Wall, Mexicans won't tolerate Trump's flip-flops. Trump voters, on the other hand, seem to accept anything he does.

Does Trump have any fixed, solid idea at all what he wants to do?

Five Trump policies that turned upside down between March and April:

1) NAFTA is the worst trade deal ever. It must be uprooted and fundamentally reformed.
/ We have a few modest changes we'd like to make to NAFTA.

2) China needs to stop screwing us on trade and North Korea or they're in big trouble.
/ We had a pleasant meeting with Xi. It would be nice if they helped out with North Korea.

3) We're committed to good relations with Russia.
/ Russia's actions in the Ukraine, its interference with our elections, and its backing of Assad are intolerable.

4) Assad can stay in power. We don't really care.
/ Assad is a monster who has to go.

5) Health care is dead, time to move on to taxes.
/ We're going to try again on health care before we get to taxes.

On health care, somebody explained to Trump yet again why tax cuts for billionaires will be procedurally easier if they gut health care first. So now he's on board with taking another run at it. I suppose that he'll forget the explanation shortly and make yet another U-turn until someone explains it again.

The first few twists in the Trump show were entertaining, but the past few episodes they've given us an EPA administrator who wants additional security to protect him from his own employees; a press secretary whose can-you-top-this bloopers now include a defense of Hitler; and a president who's ready to go to war because of what he sees on Fox News. I like quirky characters, but this is too much quirkiness.

Yep. Sounds to me like Trump is turning into Clinton a little bit more everyday.

Looks like maybe you win Second. No need to gloat about it.

All the better. You don't seriously think the border wall is a good idea, do you?

I'll give you that Assad flipflop. Deep State pressure.

he only defenses I've seen of Hitler are on this board.

I think it is a great idea! It will create jobs in the poorest part of Texas, the Rio Grande Valley. If Trump keeps his promise to make the Trump Wall beautiful, and covers if with his gold, it will be a tourist attraction, permanently creating jobs polishing the gold and repairing the gold-leaf finish. It will also jolt his voters back to reality: that their lives will NOT be fixed even if Trump keeps ALL his promises.

The Trump brand is that he is the man who knows how to make America great again. He is indispensable! What if it becomes obvious, from projects like the Trump Wall, that Trump can't make your dreams come true? I look forward to the Trump voters' disillusionment with Trump, but it will take many years and many projects like the Trump Wall to change their minds.

If the Wall is not built, it will be an excuse used to explain away Trump's failure. I want to see it built so that there are no excuses. (And I will make some money, too! That is my ulterior motive. Don't tell the Democratic Party that I will profit from Trump's Wall, but I will.)

How to Jam the Trump Brand

https://theintercept.com/2017/04/12/how-to-jam-the-trump-brand/

Institutions organized around a powerful brand image – often understood as “a promise” from a corporation to its customers – are in big trouble when that image gets battered and the promise appears to have been broken. These facts make corporate brands intensely vulnerable to public pressure, particularly when that pressure is loud and organized.

All of this has long been understood by brand managers and consumer activists, but it now has implications that reach far beyond the fate of PepsiCo’s share price or United’s crisis management team. That’s because, for the first time in history, the president of the United States is a fully commercialized Superbrand, with family members who are best understood as spin-off brands.

From an ethics perspective, this is as swampy as it gets, since the Trump dynasty is already profiting significantly from the presidency, whether from the free publicity it is getting for properties that have been transformed into White House satellites, or simply because the Trump brand name is repeated in the global press about a zillion times a day. More worrying are the many opportunities for backdoor lobbying and influence peddling — what better way to curry favour with the First Family than by selecting one of its properties for a lavish event, or by paying an inflated price to lease the Trump name for a new development?

Journalists have pointed out these conflicts many times, and Trump and his spawn have responded with a defiant shrug.

Here’s the good news: as the recent travails of Pepsi, United, and Fox News tell us, brands have their own special vulnerabilities. And that can be useful, as long as you understand precisely what promise a brand has made to its customers. What I learned is that any brand – no matter how seemingly amoral – can be significantly weakened with the right tactics.

So, with that in mind, here’s a quick-and-easy guide for doing battle with the president in the only language he understands – his own brand.

Trump made tons of statements about Americas' current policies while running for office, along with promises that got him elected. In the last week he has reversed himself on most. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I am pleased to see the fake news Trump is conforming to the realities in front of him. He is pivoting and beginning to behave in accordance with the rules. Rules steeped within socially acceptable conventions and standards.

Perhaps it is because he is realizing our democratic institutions are there to serve the President. It appears that a part of him is beginning to realize they are not his enemies, but instead there to advise him. As well as, help him set and execute an agenda.

Yea for the country, and don't let the door hit you in the ass as you go Bannon. You alt right lunatic.
