Trump clearly does not listen to anything his advisors tell him. If he did, he would have been able to avoid most of the issues that he's encountered during his Presidency. And I am saying this as someone who has to deal with regulators/regulatory issues/governmental agencies on a regular basis.

I guess my point is I've heard for years that we 'need to run government more like a business', and that has never made sense. They are two things with different goals and outcomes. You can't run them alike.
Besides, if you've ever worked for a fortune 500 company you would know they already run pretty much alike.

Can this administration really be any MORE of a circus? Again, Trump is his own worst enemy.

Trump is not filing a Civil Suit against Comey as alleged.

Even a caveman understands the difference.

Comey is no longer a government employee.

Either way, this shows trumps habit of doing something stupid or illegal - almost certainly immoral, then suing the person or companies he has injured - loosing many times.

Is this someone who should be in charge of a nation? What risks will he take with citizens lives on a bet? What imprudent thing will he do next and then think nothing of it because it is just a game to him?

This 'person' needs to be removed from the White House ASAP. I don't even care if Pence has to replace him - he cannot do as much harm.
3600 lawsuits should tell you all you need to know about a person.

He couldn't even buy any other lawyers to defend him, so he only has that one that couldn't save him from having to pay $25 MILLION for his phony university scam, ROTFLMBO!

I missed this case. But, it's doesn't appear to be as black and white as you think when the ruling relies on a distinction between a law and a regulation.

I wish I had the time and inclination to compile all the pro and anti Trump posts here. I think it would go something like:

ANTI:

1 - Trump wants to do his daughter (validated and verified)
2 - Trump lied (validated and verified)
...
....
1,233,612 - Trump lied again (validated and verified)



PRO:

1 - But... But .... But ... Hillary
2 - But ... But ... But ... Obama
3 - Get over it, you lost

And?

Do you claim that an ex-government employee can't be prosecuted for things they did while working for the government. How silly.

True, and I believe we are going to see a few in the administration have exactly that happen, looks like the son in law may end up a jail bird in the not too distant future.
