I'm predicting that Rex Tillerson's confirmation will be killed by the Senate, due to Rex's close friendship with Moscow.

Of course, (almost) all of my Trump predictions have been spectacularly wrong.

Bill Clinton ended up impeached.


He remained in office. He was not "gotten rid of"...

Oh hell no...if Trump is anything better than a total bust, many DemoLibs may suffer from head explosions.

I'm almost hoping Donald picks John Bolton - just cause it'd be a giant slap in the face to many of the Trumpsters who believed Donald's lies about not supporting the Iraq war and talk about "no more nation building" with Donald.

Donald forcing the Trumpsters to go out of their way to defend John Bolton would be highly amusing for me.

I can't figure out what the Trumpsters believe in, it's a mish-mash of contradictory nonsense. They hate businessmen that hire illegals and outsource manufacturing to Third World countries, but they don't seem to mind that Trump himself hires illegals and outsources manufacturing to Third World countries. Trump's pick for Labor Secretary, Andrew Puzder, is even an outspoken proponent of amnesty for illegals!

Quote: Jay Caruso
A lot of people remember the confrontation Senator Ted Cruz had a with a Trump supporter during the campaign. At one point Cletus asks Cruz, "Where's your Goldman Sachs jacket? We know your wife works there!"

It was a shot taken not only at Cruz but also one at Hillary Clinton. After all, it was Trump who said Goldman Sachs had "total control" over her.

...

On the Goldman Sachs front, Trump will have Goldman Sachs Chief Financial Officer Gary Cohn head up Trump's National Economic Council. Trump's choice to head the Department of Treasury is Steven Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sach's partner and Anthony Scaramucci, a former Goldman Sachs banker plays a vital role in Trump's transition team.

Trump's choice for Commerce Secretary is Wilbur Ross. A former banker and leveraged buyout specialist, Ross is worth $2.9 billion. He is now a venture capitalist but when he was buying companies he was also doing what Trump railed about-- sending jobs to Mexico and China.


Caruso didn't even mention that Trump's Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is a former partner at Goldman Sachs, but by this point it's hard to keep track.

Bill Gates Visits Trump Tower; Compares Him To JFK

'Earlier in the day, Gates praised Trump on CNBC for his message to make America a better place economically, and compared him to former President John F. Kennedy.'

"In the same way President Kennedy talked about the space mission and got the country behind that, I think whether it's education or stopping epidemics, other health breakthroughs, finishing polio and in this energy space, there can be a very upbeat message that his administration is going to organize things, get rid of regulatory barriers, and have American leadership through innovation."

Why does everybody who see's Trump
in person come away so impressed.
Gates savaged Trump for the last year,
meets him, and compares him to JFK.
They really bought all the Lefty fake
news about Trump, that he was an
idiot and a clown. They meet him and find
out he's very smart and has a total
grasp on what's going on.

Because con artists know how to be very charming in person?

Another outright lie from Evenbob. Gates never "savaged" Trump.

Because he tells people what they want to hear.

The Hispanic group that went to meet him said he was very gracious and seemed interested in their complaints and dealing with them. The next day he was right back at his same message, and they weren't impressed anymore.

Same with Carrier group. He makes them think one thing then later on it's something different.

That's a conman for you.

everybody he meets.
