More Court action | Quote: |  | | | Trump immigration adviser ordered to turn over briefing document
A federal magistrate has ordered one of President Donald Trump's key campaign advisers on immigration to turn over a document he used to brief the president-elect during the transition.
Magistrate Judge James O'Hara issued an order Wednesday requiring Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to give the court a copy of the memo he took into a meeting with Trump at the president’s Bedminster, N.J., golf club last November.
The meeting was private, but a portion of the front page of the document—titled "Department of Homeland Security: Kobach Strategic Plan for First 365 Days"—was captured by press photographers as Trump and Kobach posed for pictures. | | | | | Source
What sort of clown poses for photos with a confidential document in his hand?

At the moment Trump seems to be completely overwhelmed.
One can run a business with a relatively small team because you can control the Agenda and timetable but as US President you are exposed to external forces and events where you need to react and utilise the Govt. machinery available to you.
Look at the N. Korean and Syrian incidents today and the lack of any meaningful response. |

Thirty-five percent approve of Trump’s job performance in the latest Quinnipiac University survey, while 57 percent disapprove and 8 percent are uncertain.
Since the same poll was conducted about two weeks ago, Trump's approval has decreased by 2 points, while disapproval has increased by 1 point.
Quinnipiac’s March 7 survey put Trump's approval rating at 41 percent, meaning that his score has tumbled by 6 points in just under a month. Source |

Trump is the President and has the power to declassify classified documents | Quote: |  | | | Swalwell dares Trump: Declassify the surveillance documents
A Democrat on the House panel investigating Donald Trump’s ties to Russia is issuing an ultimatum: If the president is going to accuse members of the Obama administration of breaking the law, he should prove it.
“If the president wants to say that Susan Rice committed a crime, he has the power to declassify. No one else does,” Rep. Eric Swalwell of California said Wednesday. “So, he could actually show us where the crime was. I don't expect he will, because I think this is just more obstructionism.” | | | | | Source |

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | Jennifer Jacobs (Bloomberg reporter) just tweeted: Bannon's national security clearance was NOT stripped, I'm told. He still has the highest clearance. | | | | | Regardless, it's a demotion. It matters. Rumour is that Gen. McMaster was behind the decision. Apparently, he wants a more professional team.
Quote of the night goes to Robert Zimmerman on CNN's 'State Of America'... "The right hand doesn't know what the alt-right hand's doing."
Oh...And Trump's approval rating went down to 35%. However, he can still turn this around of he picks more candidates with the cross party respect and integrity of McMaster. Bannon needs to go. He's a monkey on Trump's back.

Hopefully as Trump appoints more serious people then we will see improvements |

If you honestly believe the average working class person going about their day is going to take the time to take a telephone survey to talk about politics, well your heads even further up your ass than I imagined.

Look at the N. Korean and Syrian incidents today and the lack of any meaningful response.  | | | | | This is what Trump needs to know and he has a steep learning curve ahead of him. With a strong, dependable team, he has a fighting chance of doing it, but he must drop the facade, drop the ego, and learn to take guidance.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: |  | | | | | | | | I never said they were fake news
The point I was making (trolling, apparently) is that it seems under Trump illegal inmigration and trade defecit is going down whilst jobs, manufacturing and US exports are going up - which was a large part of what Trump said he would do.
(Bov made a good point avout how much of this can actually be attributed to Trump, but nevertheless it is all happening, and it's happening on his watch)
