    Yes his advisors Larry Kudlow and Steve Moore are both free market advocates . Kudlow revised his strict position before he was selected to serve to say that China is such a blatant abuser that measures had to be taken .But I'm sure he disproves tariffs against allies . Trump has his own ways and frequently decides against what his advisors council . Maybe that explains some of the more frequent turnover . However it is not unusual to have ,as Lincoln had ,a team of rivals .

    Is that what he has, a team of rivals? Thanks for clarifying that, it wasn't apparent. Please don't compare Trump to great men of the past, certainly not Lincoln, although he was also surrounded by incompetents

    Why not if it applies ? I did not say that Lincoln was doing something wise by having rivals in his cabinet . In many ways it weakened his war efforts .

    Politics is real, and there are many rivals, always one waiting in the shadows to take over, however, in the case of Trump it will be interesting to see if anyone is allowed to strut the stage long enough to do that

    Obviously the dufus prefers sycophants that share his views and carries out his wishes and don't oppose him. Say something nice and he may give you a job, qualified or NOT. Stop or don't kiss the ring, you're out, often unceremoniously.

    Nikki Haley has stopped kissing the ring. I hear she may be shopping for a ring of her own.

    She correctly called out Trump for his making light tweet about Cummings'house being broken into. She tweeted
    “This is so unnecessary.”
    .There have been many Republican who think the President's use of Twitter is unnecessary . It is amazing that her response went viral. I think it was just her immediate reaction and not something politically calculated . But if she is planning a run I sat Go Nikki 2024 !

    Somebody needs to muzzle that mad dog, and put him in a cage. I mean this self professed NATIONALIST is hollering hate fear and rats, while all the places that people go is the the next target for a loony mostly white nationalists. Worse than that, it's a CONSTANT barrage of nasty. He promised to fix stuff and hasn't done a darn thing but take credit for what half way works and tears down the rest.

    You call this winning? I want to win but the only thing I'm getting tired of is his mouth.

    She also tweeted “Instead of all of this back and forth about who everyone thinks is racist and whose not, the President just offered to help the people of Baltimore,” “They should take him up on it. Let’s put the same energy into where it will make a difference.”

    She supports Trump but though his tweet about Cummings' house being robbed
    went too far. She is writing a book about serving Trump as UN Ambassador. Whatever plans she has as far as making a run is for 2024. There was speculation that Trump may offer her VP in a 2nd term. Trump said no ;that Pence was going to be his choice . That remains to be seen .

    Enlighten me as to what kind of help the dufus intends to give the cities and at what costs? I heard his campaign declarations to fix stuff, as well as his criticism, but what's the plan man?

    I hope he is going to encourage them to elect mayors and council-members who actually know what they are doing. That will greatly help the people of those cities and won't force the fed government further into debt.

    If you can deficit fund tax cuts for the rich in an already good economy, seems you can fund the inner cities to help solve their problems as well, if nothing else to save lives. I seriously doubt dems anywhere will listen to a lying cheating dufus who has blasted them from day one about anything.

    They don't need more money. Go back and look at what Giuliani accomplished. It doesn't require more money. It does require people who are serious and know what they are doing.

    Dems see money as solutions . If that were so LBJs war on poverty would've been won decades ago.

    Baltimore spends more than 15K per pupil in their schools. That is several thousand more than we spend in my area, and yet our students would blow their's away. It all comes down to having people who mean business and are competent. The constant excuse-making by liberal dems just allows the disaster to continue. It's easier to blame it all on Trump and capitalism, neither of which makes sense. Students in Connecticut score amazingly well on standardized tests. Last time I checked, they are part of the U.S. and thus involved in both a capitalist economy and a Trump presidency.
