Let me tell you how unfair it is that Trump is not judged by the same standards the rest of us are-

I run estate sales, I paid some money recently to a background check website because I was curious about some clean-out people. It is amazing what turns up and they also have what I will call a character rating on this website. It is based on all sorts of things, small claims courts, past arrest records, lawsuits, bankruptcies and even unpaid traffic tickets. Some of my clients will do a background check on potential companies, I guess my rating is good, I always pay my bills, no tickets. I went 20 years without a speeding ticket. I did get one I think 10 years ago they got me going 40 in a 30 just when you get into town on US 80 the speed goes from 40 to 30 and this small town will post a speed trap there. Anyway, it dawned on me I am judged on this rating by potential clients, my business depends on this. These people are letting someone into their home they do not know. So at 1:00 am it dawned on me that Trumps rating would be really bad because of his lawsuits, unpaid contractors and suppliers and a huge bankruptcy, in my business he would not be hired but he still gets to be president. Okay so what is wrong here? I mean really, that is totally outrageous.

The longer we wait, we just make the inevitable worse. Mr Mueller...if you don't defend us in public soon, a good portion of the American Psyche is going to be damaged for life, and that's not even addressing the institutional wreckage is piling up. Where's the jobs dt? And we don't mean the headline..."unemployment is down" That's not putting food on the table. We need middle class jobs. How many companies have come back to the usa? To just wait it out and languish we do the Continental U.S. a huge disservice. If they win by incremental strangulation and funding, we are in trouble bc our donors don't seem to be as able to pass on wealth like corporate America can I guess. Then we have to REFIGHT all these battles for the forseeable future if we don't make some big changes. THIS is why we can't afford dt. AFTER is too late. It's a done deal...like the above info from the corporation that the OP speaks about.The whole..."give him a chance" folks now have a year+. Once the stuff is intrenched on the internet/or enshrined as American institutional policy,...how hard of a battle is it then? When they have nonstop funding? A difficult battle indeed.
Being Pres is job one, day one. No, dividing your time up while we pay you (to pay yourself). !00% focus on We THE PEOPLE!!. No OJT, We say..YOU'RE FIRED. This is why you don't run a govt like a corporation. Corps only service a few...w lipservice to the rest of us...Governments make peoples lives safer, happier, and proud of the People and encourages individual growth through some form of enlightenment. If you want to live in a place where there's no govt? I dunno. , move somewhere else. Isn't that exactly what they'd say? Going high SOMETIMES only opens your ribcage up for a body blow. Like I said, I...don't know.
