Nicolle Wallace Exposes Trumps Fake Presidency In Less Than A Minute
https://www.politicususa.com/2019/09/11/nicolle-wallace-trump-fake.html
"SNIP......
Wallace said ib her MSNBC show Deadline: White House, Whats so amazing is that Axios had the schedules, and, Annie, you and your colleagues have done extensive reporting and do on a nearly daily basis that there is no governing on his schedule ever. There is an occasional photo-op to lend the appearance to governing but theres no actual governing that happens. For better or for worse, his critics may be relieved to hear that.
......SNIP"

(16,728 posts)Whether it be in the Oval Office, the Cabinet Room, or the Rose Garden, I have yet to see any evidence of governing or leadership by Trump.

(10,266 posts)Until she goes on the air and offers an apology for the bullshit propaganda and lies she proffered from her podium as Jr's press secretary, I'm not gonna believe she's had a real change of heart.
I completely believe she personally supported Obama over McCain because Palin...but she was part and parcel to the illegal, AND UNNECESSARY, war criminal invasion and destruction of Iraq.
And I would like her to apologize for that.

(11,253 posts)While the never-tRumper rethugs are good for a giggle when they talk about how bad agent orange is, they are still repubs. They are not allies. They are not friends. They are not good guys - until they realize that they have been wrong about governing and how it is supposed to work (for us, not the mega-billionaires) and take back all the shit they have pulled since Hoover.
Same goes for Steve Schmidt, Michael Steele, Rick Wilson, and all the others making the rounds on political talk shows.

(13,465 posts)apologize for that. If she was against the war in Iraq, she would have quit that administration.

(3,997 posts)I'm amazed the press hasn't beat on this more. The meetings hardly ever result in any laws, agreements, treaties, etc. They are only for the optics which for us is a good thing indeed.
Interesting however that the word governing or governance is hardly ever mentioned by the WH as well. Not many have noted either that by his executive orders, all can be easily reversed by our next President. Simply, this means that Trump never, or hardly ever, considers that his EO's aren't laws, meaning again his total failure to engage even his Republiscum Senate will allow us to reverse most of his egregious moves.
Can't happen soon enough for me!!!!

(4,341 posts)The problem is that he has upped the anxiety level of the country and the World to levels never seen, but behind the scenes you have people like Stephen Miller, McConnell, Graham, Barr, and the rest passing horrible bills to screw everyone in the USA and the World while doing Putin's dirty work.
The fact that the creature doesn't do anything but creates noise doesn't take away the fact that those behind him, including Kushner and Ivanka, are doing horrible things while the creature has us all paying attention to his bullshit.

(9,958 posts)For which we should be happy. Ive long thought that his hours of executive time each day are actually time he spends running the Trump Organization because he believes that Dumbo Don Jr. and Embarrassing Eric are too stupid to keep the business going. So hes most likely running a business from the White House and then watching TV and tweeting to make people think he's really doing something. Perhaps the only real meetings he has are with staff who give him suggestions for how to steal money from taxpayers as hes been doing with military flights to Scotland.

They treat him like a loose nuke,which he is.

(1,997 posts)W was the same...lots of photo ops and teleprompter speeches but very little display of any actual knowledge or comprehension. The real decisions are made by those in the background.
