What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[Zanza]

Why do they have to turn up to him signing some piece of paper anyway? Don't they have a country to run?
His need for sycophants must be overwhelming.

I would presume they regularly don't need to show up, and this is just a cabinet press photo. But yeah, he needs a new one every other day at the moment.

An Austrian site joked that the guy in charge of the door signs at the White House has quit his job due to severe burnout because he had to keep making signs and bin them immediately. The U.S. steel industry has reacted with alarm at his illness, because the constant production of new door signs gave them a significant increase in business.

I am sure Trump can learn from the past...

It's pretty common to have a lot of cabinet members and the like to show up for the official signing of major bills.

Yeah, it's the kind of political theatrics that fall kinda flat in Europe but yanks are terribly fond of.

My theory is the most governments in Europe are parliamentary ones.  Passage of legislation isn't too difficult most of the time.  But it is a big deal in the US, because passage is a lot more difficult.

But when has he signed one of those?

He's practicing for when the moment comes.

Guys, this has been the best infrastructure week ever

I think this is the fourth week in a row that CNN has written some variation of "Trump's Worst Week."  At the moment I have a hard time believing he could top this one, but that was probably true for the last three weeks as well.

Steve Bannon, Back on the Outside, Prepares His Enemies List

[...]

"In many ways, I think I can be more effective fighting from the outside for the agenda President Trump ran on," he said Friday. "And anyone who stands in our way, we will go to war with."

Among those already in Mr. Bannon's sights: Speaker Paul D. Ryan; Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader; the president's daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law, Jared Kushner; and Gary D. Cohn, the former president of Goldman Sachs who now directs the White House's National Economic Council.

[...]

Most immediately, he has told associates that he wants to ensure that any spending resolution approved next month by Congress includes money to begin construction on the wall that Mr. Trump has promised to build on the southern border.

If Congress balks, Mr. Bannon has advised the president to issue a veto, which would trigger a government shutdown.

The shitshow will only get worse... I wonder if attacking Trump's daughter is a sensible thing to do though. That seems to be just about the only other person than himself he cares about.

In Trump's mind, everything he signs is major.  Each one is the most major bill, ever.

I think he sincerely believes Executive Orders are exactly that.

I gotta say, I never imagined a Trump presidency would be such a rollercoaster. I guess I assumed that he was going to stop tweeting and instead, you know, going through his communications staff. It's like someone decided to produce a real life parody of The West Wing, where everyone is terrible at his job.

Add the Brexit debacle and there's no end to political entertainment lately.
