There were several times during the primaries and a couple of time during the general election that I thought that Trump was trying to lose.
This has crossed my mind again with recent things done by him.
But I guess I'm wrong, this is how he will "govern", we'll just have to hope that the checks and balances kick in in time

I know a lot of people disagree with me, but Pence is obvious and traditional. There are checks in place that will work with him, even with a single party in control.  I can't see Pence getting a second term, and I can't see him getting a lot of his crazy in place as a sub in.

And he keeps referring to the Russian influence as irrelevant because he was elected in a "massive landslide victory."


 

Trump’s margin of victory ranked 46th out of 58 U.S. presidential elections.

Contradicting settled science, Donald Trump says "nobody really knows" on climate change

This is scary as hell. GW Bush and his senior advisors (including his National Security Advisor, Condoleeza Rice) were warned repeatedly in the spring and summer of 2001 that Al Qaeda was about to attack the US.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/11/opinion/the-bush-white-house-was-deaf-to-9-11-warnings.html

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/11/13/george_w_bush_s_white_house_ignored_these_extremely_dramatic_pre_9_11_warnings.html

http://www.politico.eu/article/attacks-will-be-spectacular-cia-war-on-terror-bush-bin-laden/

And in case you've forgotten, Trump said in October 2015 that Dubya deserved blame for Al Qaeda's successful attack on the World Trade Center towers. Republicans were shocked and outraged by Trump's comment—but he was right. Bush and his team dismissed or downplayed the threat of Al Qaeda and ignored warnings that AQ and other terrorist groups were planning an attack on American soil. Intelligence groups within the US government were greatly concerned that Bush didn't appear to be absorbing or responding to their warnings. 

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/10/did-george-w-bush-do-all-he-could-to-prevent-911/411175/

But Trump? He doesn't need those presidential daily briefings. He's, like, a smart person. Even though he repeatedly exposed his own foreign policy ignorance during the campaign. Don't you feel so safe?

I imagine that Trump-named properties will be at the top of target lists for AQ and ISIS.

And so that got me thinking: do protests on Washington do much to change the mind of someone like DJT? I strongly strongly doubt it.

Money talks.

Protests need to be specifically targeted to damage the financial status of his businesses, so that he'll possibly feel the effect when he's no longer President. That would get his attention, especially if the point behind this presidency is really self-rewarding.

This is one of the most hypocritical yet, and still - silence from those that wanted "change". Hang on, it's going to be a weird 4 years. I still have confidence in the republic, as long as we stay out of wars, we'll be okay.
