Loading ...and the DC establishment is in a tizzy .
I saw an article this morning indicating industry CEO’s are telling Trump that he is wrong to withdraw from the Paris Accord . Of course they are against him – not because of climate change , but because their business plans are rooted in the decrees and perks handed to them by the politicians they have bought and paid for , so they are about to face the wrath of shareholders when it becomes obvious they boarded the wrong train .
Trump is not in politics to line his pockets – in fact , I suspect that he will leave office poorer than when he declared his run for office , so he is a complete rogue to the political class . I am certain he is the most hated man in the country if you poll the residents within 50 miles of the Capitol , whose cushy paychecks are paid from OUR pockets .
Trump is used to people who are in his employ , and who , when he says “Jump!” , ask “How high ? ” on their way up . He does not pay the salaries of those around him now , so they push back to protect their own deals and power instead of doing what is best for the country . So, of course he is frustrated and vents in his Tweets . Personally , I like that – his initial messages after Charlottesville were blunt and truthful – there were problems on all sides . In my view , the greatest problems were rooted in city hall in that city , and fed by billionaires paying to foment trouble by bussing in mercenary thugs .
