Ignore the Circus

Well, we’ve endured a year of Trump’s Presidency and many people, including nearly all of the press, have failed to learn the most basic lesson; ignore the Circus.

The only things that people should focus on are policy and corruption, everything else the realm of tabloid gossip and salacious titillation.

Focus on the 1-2 trillion dollars added to the nation’s debt, not the idiotic ‘Fake News Awards.’

Pay attention to the fact that his administration reduced to budget of the CFPB to zero and reduced the fine on Wells Fargo for defrauding customers, not that he clearly lies about his weight.

Saber rattling with Korea and pulling out of international agreements, surrendering our position of leadership, is far more consequential that bedding a porn actress.

Refusing to enforce sanctions against Russia for meddling in our elections greatly outweighs any Twitter tirade with another celebrity.

It must always be remember that not only is Trump an attention whore but he has no shame. You cannot embarrass him talk of bedding a porn star that only feeds his ego. You cannot cow him by talking about him that only empowers his narcissism.

Ignore the Circus, Ignore the Monkey, watch the money, watch the policy.

    But my comment was about a specific item. Congressional approved, with a wide wide vote margin, to impose sanctions on Russia for interfering in our electoral process and the lack of action by the executive. It was not about general pro or anti-Russian sentiment from the executive and you’re link supported position that the executive has not enacted the sanctions so I am a little lost as to your point.

    Just because a source is pro-conservative, doesn’t mean it is pro-Trump in bias. In fact that source is anti-Trump, as I thought would be obvious from the context.

    I selected that source deliberately, for the information on all the anti-Russian actions which the administration has taken, information which couldn’t be dismissed as pro-Trump partisanship.

    I wonder if you read that op-ed all the way to the final paragraph?

    “Just as it would be blind to ignore the president’s hawkish record on Russia, it would be foolish to ignore the president’s history of obsequious toadying to Putin at the expense of American prestige. The administration has a short window to comply with the law, and the indications are that they eventually will. But this president has a narrative problem of its own making when it comes to Russia. Trump seems to think that if he admits what his administration freely concedes—that Russia interfered in the American political process, will do so again, and must be aggressively deterred from those destabilizing actions—it would sap his presidency of credibility. He has it precisely backward.”
    Even the author of an op-ed in a conservative magazine concedes that the Administration has not yet complied with the law and only expects that they will.
