COMMODITIES TIP

After a look at Donald J. Trump's plans for a "slat steel fence" on the Mexican border, it seems to me that Fedex sized document envelopes, that can fit between the slats, will become a hot ccommodity item for the drug cartel.  

BOMBING THE WRONG GOVERNMENT

Republican Presidents, in this cenury, seem to be fond of bombing the wrong countries.  After the World Trade Center was attacked by Saudi Arabians based in Afghanistan, George W. Bush bombed the country of Iraq.

Now because Mexico will not pay for a wall, Donald J. Trump is planning to bomb the Government in Washington by shutting it down financially.  Trump should be shutting down the Government of Mexico not ours.

A SYMBOLIC ACT

Many Republican members of Congress, both Senators and Representatives, are showing disapproval of the present Administration by retiring and not running again for Congress.  Perhaps they consider this their personal stand against Trumpism.  Of course, it is nothing of the sort.  A far better symbolic act would have been to caucus with the Democrats while still retaining their Republican party affiliation.

50 YEARS FROM NOW

50 years from now,  when Hillsary Clinton has turned 126. and the first Republican to be elected to office after the Trump debacle, is in office and again in trouble,  that Republican will be looking to an investigation into the Clinton emails in order to save his Presidency.

HOW CAN IT BE CALLED AN EMOLUMENT, WHEN....???

Donald Trump, feels it is extremely unfair for law suits to be filed against him and/or his companies for allegedly receiving emoluments from foreign entities, in violation of the Constitution, for rentals at his properties.  How can it be called an emolument when he has to negotiate, and be competitive in his pricing, with each and every one of his deals? 

TRUMP VISIBLY UPSET

Trump, visibly upset by all the pomp and circumstance shown for the funeral of George H.W. Bush, considering his inability to get funding, himself, for a military parade or even a Wall, was mollified, to an extent, by John Kelley, who indicated that the American people would gladly give Trump a glorious funeral. 

UNREALISTIC STANDARDS

 The Mueller investigation, if anything, has revealed the unrealistically high standard that has been set for occupants of the highest executive office in our land.  By requiring the candidates to that office to follow the law is exceeding reasonable expectations.
