Trumpism

Funny thing struck me today. Trump, being a Republican, has been appointing conservative judges. Traditionally, consertive judges are strict interpreters of the constitution. Now, contrast that with Trump's propensity to exercise his own interpretation of the constitution - which usually fits his agenda. As you can imagine, there is a disconnect here between the courts and our president. As a result, the courts have prevailed, especially regarding immigration.

I have become convinced that with Trump, it's all about power and money; primarily money. Just what has he done for the country that didn't line his pockets with more gold? I am also convinced that his giving the Saudi's a pass on Jamal Khashogg's murder was the result of his massive holdings in Saudi Arabia and his fear of financial retaliation.
