Is Trump Sliding?

It would appear that the President is beginning to lose his grip on "populism."

In recent days....

1)  He declared that the Feds should 'take over' elections.  He's not student of the Constitution, but even he should be able to find the plain, black-letter text in that document which rejects his intent.  The Press Office scrambles and says that Trump 'really meant' that the SAVE Act should be made into law.  Well, maybe--but that's not what he said.

2)  He ordered 'all Federal agencies' to help find Samantha Guthrie's mom.  This is stupid, in one word.  The FEEBS joined the pursuit two days ago; they are the ONLY appropriate Fed agency at this time.  Besides that, if it were not that Samantha Guthrie is an attractive New York TeeVee star, would Trump order "all Fed agencies" to join into the investigation?  Hell, no.

3)  His D.C. law-lady--someone named Pirro--has declared that if you make the mistake of carrying in D.C., you will be prosecuted--UNLESS you are a resident of D.C., in which case, 'shit happens, move on.'

4)  He has expressed disappointment that the Epstein papers are out in the open.  He is concerned that "good people' will be harmed.  Is there a "good" pedophile?  

But let us distinguish here.  There are dozens of 'good people' who are mentioned in the emails, or seen in pictures, etc.  Anyone who knows anything about high society--the one Trump ran in--knows that everybody knows everybody, but only in that rarified atmosphere.  So yes.  There will be mentions of people who were never involved in criminal activity, but who happened to be at the same charity ball or nightclub at the same time as Epstein.

That said, the term "pattern of practice" comes into play.  Habitual bad boys and bad girls are knows because "habitual."  That's why the top dog (I use that word carefully--as in "horndog") at Paul, Weiss, resigned his position yesterday.  He knew that others knew.........

5)  His self-aggrandizement is becoming nauseating.  We can see and know what you've done, Donald.  Please STFU about it.  You forget, Donald, that 99% of US citizens do NOT live in Metro D.C.--and that 90% of US citizens do not live in D.C., NYC, or LA.  Screw those jackasses, Donald.  Just do the right thing and keep your mouth shut.

End rant.
