First 100 Days In Office by Chris Murphy

Democratic Senator For Connecticut break down

This snoop is a follow up after my last musing about the president and the administration immediately after the inauguration.

When President Trump was elected to lead the US a lot of people were dismayed not by his victory, we are a democracy with democratic elections, but at having a popularist leader and the fear of what happens when democracy is slowly eroded. Beaus brewing company Canada weren’t the only ones expressing concern back in 2016. They just managed to present their point of view in a way lots of other people connected with.

I am more in tune with Governor Gavin Newsom who I believe has done a good job alongside his wife Jennifer Lynn Siebel Newsom for California and from what I have seen he has led with fairness, strength and openness. Three qualities I admire. President Trump has also led with strength and openness, I am just not sure where the equity and fairness sits right now.

I recommend everyone watch the film or read the Senator Chris Murphy transcript with an open mind. I am not going to comment on the long list of unorthodox presidential decisions and unprecedented presidential behaviour Senator Chris Murphy has laid out. I am not a lawmaker and have zero experience in how government operates. There are always two sides to every story and I don’t always agree with doing things the way they have always been done.

That said I am interested in the Cryto currency coin Mr. Trump has created with suggestion it’s a clever way to receive untraceable untrackable funds from who knows where or who.

The £40 Million from Amazon for a Melania documentary paid directly sounds like a great gig if you can get it. When is it coming out? Did Melania agree? Is this what the current Amazon Administration feud is really about?

A friend of mine, and a republican recently told me every single Trump business has ended up in bankruptcy so despite his stint as head honcho on the TV show The Apprentice his business track record not so good.

She interestingly presented a theory to me how a megalomaniac with a very public, very poor, track record in business, and a massive perceived persona, might do literally anything to stop that being exposed so potentially the solution would be to create a massive smokescreen around the 36 trillion dollar black hole debt, project that on someone or something else, to justify unpalatable executive decisions, in the same way a magician gets us to focus our attention to over there, so we miss what’s going on over here. I’ve heard this kind of narrative again again, how Mr. Trump is a genius, I think he even called himself a genius and how as a master “chess player” a metaphor I imagine the world

must watch and wait. And gold plating the Oval Office all part of the strategy maybe?

The US has been running a deficit since the 1970’s meaning government borrowing and spending exceeded monies collected in revenue according to public fiscal data available on .gov website. So we’ve been over spending for quite some time. The only three years when we saw a budget surplus was from 1998 to 2001 and this was completely unexpected and attributed to better policy making in the 1990s plus a surge in the economy and much higher than expected revenues from taxes from a booming stock market and capital gains tax on the rich.

For me the peace promised hasn’t happened and the countless egregious acts now being reported daily, even on Fox News and placed in a timeline like this one, Trumps first 100 days in office” from courageous Chris Murphy make this administration impossible to believe or buy into for me.
