    Another failure has left the Trump crew.

    Ryan Zinke, who acted as a lobbyist for the oil & gas industries while in office, has left with a number of investigations still underway regarding his behavior. He's likely being replaced by another DC insider & lobbyist for those 2 same industries. So much for draining the swamp.

    Trump lied again about President O's family having a huge wall around their home.

    What are the odds of Trump lying about another wall?

    You know..the wall Mexico is paying for.

    Trump wants to cut down on companies hiring illegal aliens. Wonderful...fully support the move.

    However, with the government shutdown companies cannot verify the legal status of candidates. So everyone gets hurt. Companies, job seekers, the economy etc etc. The E-verify system many employers utilize is unavailable.

    Of the 245,000 DHS employees, only 14% are still receiving paychecks.

    Immigration judges have their calendars booked 3 to 4 years out & this mess just compounds our immigration problems.

    Pathetic

    Drama Queen Lindsay Graham said if Trump caves on the wall it would be the end of his presidency.

    Has Graham heard of a guy named Mueller?

    Another failed Trump promise comes to light with Big Pharma raising the cost of over 1,000 drugs by an average of 6%.

    These CEO's & those in other industries know Trump is a moron, can't be trusted & is a totally clueless president.

    Hurry up Mueller.

    Trump's "A-Team" of most senior positions in his administration has a 65% turnover rate. How can a leader in politics or business get anything positive accomplished with so many people leaving an organization?

    My guess is that little crook Wilbur Ross will be the next to go. His advice, along with that of Peter Navarro regarding tariffs, has resulted in a trade war hurting America. 

    Hiring the Best & Brightest is another farking lie.

    The Vicious Cycle of Trump

    1. Create A Problem

    2. Lie And Blame Others

    3. Reverse Decision/Action That Created The Problem

    4. Demand Applause And Schedule A Photo Op

    5. Ignore Consequences And Move On

    Despite Trump's promise to revive manufacturing industry, US manufacturing activity has slowed to a two year low according to Institute for supply management.  Blame Trump's tariffs which increased manufacturing costs and slowing economies.

    According to Bloomberg,. Trump administration is sitting on billions in storm protection money that should be spend to help vulnerable states prepare for extreme weather.  Instead of protecting communities before a storm, the government releases funds only after damage has happened.

    But $1 spend on mitigation saves $6 on future diaster costs.  Climate change is causing higher costs.  Extreme weather costs government over $350 billion in past decade according to government accountability office.  Unlike previous years, process to get funding hasn't been so long and cumbersome.

    As far as sitting on storm money ..if it's storm money..put it to use ..use to stop the storm of illegal alien crossing our border..

    C'mon..you know there are more people illegally in this country that overstay their visas than sneaking through our borders.  Just in 2017, 600k fall into this category.

    Donald J Trump just said, government could shut down for months or years. What a crap, he just does NOT care those 800,000+ federal employees.

    President Trump was always for limited government..and although he care's for the 800,000 +Federal workers ,, the safety of the other 330.,000,000 Million Americans comes first..

    Many federal employees are filing for unemployment benefits to tide them over..

    Trump's first idea for limited government would be to fire all I.R.S. auditors.

    I don't agree with this. I've made it clear that i'm for the wall. Very, very for the wall but punishing government workers isn't the way. Especially since the politicians still get paid.

    Actually, Trump administration is doing a worser job.  In past years, less delay in funding protection for states.  Trump fails to realize that climate change is a bigger threat to national security than illegal immigration which is overrated.  Current border apprehensions are among the lowest in decades.  Many economists consider immigration to be positive for US economy.

    Just going by what you posted in post  #636 ..
    "Unlike previous years, process to get funding hasn't been so long and cumbersome."  Which say's it's not worser,, as you put it..but, the funding is quicker.....

    Immigration is positive for US economy.  Just not illegal immigration..there's a Big distinction between legal immigration and illegal immigration... I can't believe you don't know that ..

    It does allow for them to reject their pay until the self proclaimed Trump shutdown is lifted.
