Turnbull's first phone call with Trump was a classic dumpster fire, with Trump trying to backpedal on an agreement over refugees and generally being nasty a.f. He has had ample opportunity from this and subsequent events to learn that Trump doesn't deal in good faith.

You are right. That the first call was rather disastrous, no question. However; he was still trying to figure Trump out and one phone call doesn't quite allow one to completely do that. I don't blame him for trying to accept Trump at his word. That is what most world leaders would do. I just don't think you should be dumping on him for acting honorably and expecting Trump to keep his word. After all (in the early stages of this sh*tstorm) Capt'n Chaos had not yet cut a wide enough swath of destruction for Turnbull to not believe that the public comments and promise of a US President would not be honored. Sorry for the double negative.

We are all obviously well past the point now of expecting Trump to honor anything he says...

Not to mention the DACA mess he created. He's the one who cancelled it in the first place, now he's mad because nobody can fix the problem? It's absurd. Not so different from the ACA mess: the GOP wants to repeal it, but doesn't have anything better.

Some clients are like that. They can't describe what they want, but they know what they DON'T want. Or think they know. So you design something based on a nebulous idea. Then they say 'No, that's not what I wanted at all'. 'What is it you don't like?' 'I don't know, it's just not right.' Then they're pissed when they get the bill. Lovely.

"thought he was dealing with Trump in good faith"

Everyone in the world should know better by now. No excuses. The only people who might—-might—escape the Donald's "Trump first" rule are his kids. And I'm pretty sure they'd go down with the ship if there were only one seat left in the Titanic's last lifeboat.

Trump White House quietly issues report vindicating Obama regulations

It was easy to miss, but OMB demolishes the GOP’s deregulatory claims.

By David Roberts@drvoxdavid@vox.com Mar 6, 2018, 9:30am EST

President Donald Trump’s administration has been on a deregulatory bender, particularly when it comes to environmental regulations. As of January, the New York Times counted 67 environmental rules on the chopping block under Trump.

This is not one of Trump’s idiosyncrasies, though. His administration is more ham-handed and flagrant about it, but the antipathy it expresses toward federal regulation falls firmly within the GOP mainstream. Republicans have been complaining about “burdensome” and “job-killing” regulations for so long that their opposition to any particular health, safety, or environmental regulation is now just taken for granted.

For instance, why would the Environmental Protection Agency close a program investigating the effects of toxins on children’s health? Is there some evidence that the money is wasted or poorly spent? Why would the EPA allow more unregulated disposal of toxic coal ash? Don’t people in coal regions deserve clean air and water? Is there any reason to think coal ash is currently well-regulated?

These questions barely come up anymore. Republicans oppose regulations because they are regulations; it’s become reflexive, both for the party and for the media the covers them.

It's the Trump Paradox: he's swindled and lied to people over and over, but suckers still line up to work with him.

Exception proving the rule?: Russia may have shot down Trump's intention to nominate Mitt Romney as Secretary of State. Vladimir wants, Vladimir gets.
