"Someone like Donald Trump is almost incomprehensible to the polished Washingtonian marble buildings and cliquish button down power structure that governs the Beltway. Of course, his indefatigable Tweeting, inarticulate speechifying, obnoxious high school bravado and cheerleading are jarring for all but his most ardent supporters. But the real problem is he challenges the orthodoxy of a town that has become so ossified by the legal profession that process has become far more important than any outcome — the exact opposite of Americans’ self-image of can-do rugged individualism."
And they said it couldn't be done. The elitists don't want anything done. Thank God Trump was elected.
Just look at the attitudes of those in the Beltway, so out of touch.
They just thought Trump was joking when he announced to the world, he was taking the power from Washington DC and returning it back to the people, where it belongs.

But Trump is an elitist who gave more tax cuts to his rich buddies than the middle class and poor. And the cuts are only permanent for the rich not for the rest of us. And you are thanking god for him being elected lol Let's wait and see how he destroys medicare. I doubt you will be thanking him then.

Medi-scare?
Seriously?
Didn't Obama take a bunch of money from Medicare to fund Obamacare?

Uh huh, he certainly is incomprehensible to me too.
The fact is there should be Medicare for all which Obama wanted and republicans objected.
And tell us who is going to pay for that? My meds cost me more since I went on Medicare. Government doesn't care but you are paying for my more expensive meds with your taxes.
"Most citizens wrongly assume the president’s political appointees run the federal government agencies. However, anybody who has worked in these organizations or with these organizations knows the real power always resides with their general counsel’s offices. Meaningful change must come through the numerous law firms/lobbyists whose well-paid ranks — mostly attorneys — effortlessly move in and out of the government’s constantly revolving door. This system admirably perpetuates a status quo that handsomely benefits the legal power structure as is demonstrated by the fact that some of the most affluent zip codes in the country now are in the leafy suburbs of our nation’s capital."
They sure know how to line their pockets in DC at our expense.
"Enter Donald Trump, a man who annoyingly and incessantly reminds us that he gets things done — the Grand Hyatt at the heart of a decaying late 20th century New York City, the infamous ice rink in Central Park, Trump Tower, etc. He likes to boast, “America is a nation of builders. We built the Empire State Building in just one year. Isn’t it a disgrace that it can now take 10 years just to get a minor permit approved for the building of a simple road?” As a builder he well understands that frequently difficult and timely decisions have to be made based on limited information and calculated risks since there may not be enough time to explore all possible eventualities before the cement dries. Contrast this to Washington, D.C. where time and cost have no meaning, except of course billable hours, and where bureaucrats would rather pursue every conceivable argument and indulge in every possible outcome while the cement sets. And if it sets before they’ve finished their “important work” it doesn’t really matter because it can be torn out and replaced at the government’s expense and nobody cares."
