The guy was a New York City Real Estate guy…
He was also a entertainment lover….
Both required little staff…..
His money from his father enabled him to make mistakes and have failures that would have put others in the poor house…
The money also enabled him to throw lawyers at bill collectors and those tried to hold him accountable for anything….
He is now the President of the United States…
He is no different then he was a few years ago….
He is the leader of a country of more that 300 million and he thinks he does NOT have listen to others….Those around him are now almost all hand picked yes men…
While the piece below points to Trump’s China trade War….
Trump’s way of doing thing’s applies to others parts of his Presidency and Republican lawmakers are just walking around with their hands in their pockets afraid to saying anything against him in public…. …
“President Trump is increasingly acting based on his own intuition and analysis and not the advice of aides in the increasingly fraught trade war with China, five people briefed on the actions said, shattering a more cautious process that had yielded few positive results so far,” the Washington Post reports.
“They said White House officials were now expecting a long, drawn-out battle with Chinese leaders, even though Trump is acutely tuned in to stock market fluctuations. But Trump is convinced that the Chinese economy is suffering more than the U.S. economy from the conflict. And he has felt validated that his hardball threats in other circumstances, including a recent tangle with Mexico over border security, seemed to get at least some results, even if they scared investors in the short term, said the people familiar with the matter.”…
…
Trump’s behavior with China “is probably based on personal experience … and whatever his instincts tell him is the right thing to do,” said Bonnie Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “He will do things via tweet that maybe no one else in the administration knows about, and they have to scramble.”
…
Trump’s economic team has thinned since the beginning of his presidency….
…
Trump’s willingness to rip the process away from his senior advisers has been building for months…..

Why would Republicans say anything against their party leader?
You still don’t get it do you?You keep trying to act as if Republicans are just itching to denounce him but are scared to do so.That may have been true a couple of years ago and perhaps a lot of them find him personally obnoxious ,but as to the policies he is pursuing?
They are almost all on board and the ones who aren’t are leaving politics for other ventures..
Despite your best efforts to pretend there is some big differences between Trump and his party, the simple facts are just the opposite.They are all pretty much on the same page.

My Name Is Jack says
“Balls?”
For what?
As I said,you still don’t get it.They SUPPORT Trumps policies.They may not “like” him..So?
What is there to “stand up to?”
You’re just spouting off a bunch of garbage that you don’t even know what you mean.You are trying to imply that Republicans are opposed to what Trump is doing and that’s demonstrably not true.
“Lost their minds?”No they sure haven’t .They know exactly what they’re doing,They are supporting their Leader and their party…The Trump Republican Party.

i do NOT, cfor one minute, Believe that EVERY Republican in Congress supports all of Donald Trump’s bull shit….
There is and will continue to be MORE GOPer’s NOT. running for re-election due in some part to Trumpism….
There is a growing list of FORMER Trump staff members that admit, after leaving that that the guy is inept….
Several Senator’s voice dissatisfaction with Trump DNI pick and it was pulled…z
We will continue to disagree on this…
The ‘balls’ part will resurface as soon the scent of Trump’s leaving the Presidency leaks out…
Until then?
They either have no balls, they cover for him or they are unidentified GOP lawyers in the media…

More hyperbolic nonsense.
The famous “EVERY Republican routine .”Of course not “every” Republican.Lots Of quit,one prominent one died.
Do the overwhelming majority support Trump?Yes,Of course.Amusingly, you’ve even done posts on that so cut the BS.
You simply refuse to concede ,as most people who really understand politics have, tha the Republican Party has fundamentally changed.
I am finishing Tim Alberta’s excellent book,American Carnage, which documents the Republican Civil War over the past ten years since the inauguration of Obama and the new era of Trump.You would do well to read it too then perhaps you can understand what has happened.
You won’t of course.More fun just to post inane remarks of what you “believe.”
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion.No one is entitled to his own facts.This latter trait seems to apply to you and amusingly to your favorite villain, Donald Trump.
