Good question. Trump presenting himself as an anti-globalist is such a colossally stupendous lie that I still can't believe so many people swallowed it. ...
I know.
The guy buys his steel from China, employs a plethora of foreign H-2B workers at his resorts, develops golf resorts and condos all over the world, gets his financing from the Bank of China and Deutsch Bank, ...
Where in the world would one get the idea that Trump is an anti-globalist?
I tend to think this has a lot to do with the upcoming budget fight, if you can stomach looking through the comments sections in breibart, they only thing those period are ever critical of is raising debt, my opinion it's that they(bannon/Gorka) want to get out of the crossfire for all the tax cuts for the rich, corporate welfare and the debt ceiling. They can better shape opinion and make sure trump escapes blame from the outside.
In reality they already tried negotiating with the factions of the Republican party, they tried strong arming them, from inside of the administration and we unsuccessful, now they are about to do something extremely unpopular with conservatives, they are better positing to go after those factions from the outside since the carrot didn't work.
Yeah, sure.
Insults work so well when you want to get something done, don't they?
There's nothing like pissing off somebody who does the work you can't do to get the work done, right?
'Cutting off the nose to spite one's face' seems to one of the (shorthand) ways to describe the Trump administration's MO ~ needlessly self-destructive over-reactions to problems rather than careful consideration of the problem itself, while applying a creative & critical thinking approach to resolve.
Impulsively acting out of pique, or anger, or fear, or in pursuit of revenge, all have the tendency to damage oneself more than the object of one's anger, pique, fear, etc.
This dysfunctional strategy is concerning enough when evidenced in one's personal affairs, concerns are multiplied exponentially when the health of a Nation is at stake.
Also concerning is the seeming lack of interest in pursuing an orderly transition team to develop & implement a functional agenda:
Of the 591 key positions requiring Senate confirmation …
368 have No nominee, 0 are Awaiting nomination, 106 have been Formally nominated, & 117 have been Confirmed.
Tracking how many key positions Trump has filled so far
Quote:
The Post and Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, are tracking more than 500 key executive branch nominations through the confirmation process. These positions include Cabinet secretaries, deputy and assistant secretaries, chief financial officers, general counsel, heads of agencies, ambassadors and other critical leadership positions. These are a portion of the roughly 1,200 positions that require Senate confirmation.
The Senate can only act on nominations that have been formally submitted by the Trump administration. Those marked “awaiting nomination” above have been announced but not yet submitted, while those marked “formally nominated” are awaiting action by the Senate. ...
Amazes me how anyone gives serious consideration to working for this admin.
