TRUMP BS

A few things about which to ruminate.

Trump promised to give all the profit from the hotel in DC and the resort in Mar-A-Lago to the Treasury Department.  There is no evidence of that as of now.

Trump promised to give his entire salary to the Treasury Department.  Now he is saying that he will donate this monthly salary at the end of the year.  That was said only after the media started asking questions about it.  BTW, every trip to the "Winter White House" is costing us about $3,000,000.  Add that to what it is costing us to house and protect Melania and Barron in NYC's Trump Tower and you could fund the any number of federal programs that are being slashed.

As of this writing, Trump has spent 30% of his time out of the White House at Mar-A-Lago.  He has played golf at least nine times.  Remember what he said about President Obama? 

Trump is now saying that in his tweets about the wire tapping, he meant any kind of surveillance.  So if he has a microwave oven in his Trump tower break room, I guess that counts.  He points out that he put the wire tapping in quotes.  What he does not point out is that of the string of four that he fired off last Saturday morning, only two had quotes!!

Trump is still complaining that the Democrats are holding up his Cabinet appointments.  He still has over 2,000 Cabinet positions unfilled and they require no Senate approval at all.

Every time the jobs report and unemployment numbers were released over the last year and a half, Trump would rant about them being fake numbers and bigly lies.  Now he is taking credit for the January numbers, which, of course, he has no right to.  He actually said that the old numbers were false, but these are not.  They are calculated the same way by the same people!!

Enough to think about for now.  Anyhow, it's giving me the blues.

Be well
