Amazing how foreigners think they know our President. So, they play follow the leader and post Quotes and Picture of propaganda about how dumb my President is. (He can't be that dumb, considering he's pissing you all off.) Takes a brilliant mind to pull that one off.

This past weekend on TV in a Hotel room, I was playing postmaster with a CNN low-level reporter, out of Miami Beach. While she was polishing the knob, I watched Liberals and anti-Trump supporters struggling with ways to interpret Donald Trump's moods, fantastic and hilarious:  talking about "moods" and interpreting jokes, once again, as grave pronouncements. It was like watching someone trying to describe their drug trip, but no one else took the same drug. I get it: Trump worries, concerns and scares the media. But rather than step out of this hyperbolic world of pain, they continue to indulge their panic until they are left, in comical exasperation. 

So, what the remedy? First of all, once you accept that Trump is unique - for better or worse - this is no judgment on greatness or incompetence, just that he's different folks, then you have three options or Groups.

1. Spend a lot of time operating with anguished tone and posture, responding to every single thing Trump says as if it's proof of madness or meanness. I've been that guy. So I can see it in others.

2. Spend a lot of time explaining everything he does as a defensive yes-man.  I know some of those folks. Still, do, and can feel the sympathetic pull, when you see the president under regular attack by the media.

3. Step back and assess with bemusement this tug of war between both opinions. Give your emotions a rest, and note the unhelpful patterns on either side. You can guess that this third group is the healthier option. I choose it, based on my own experience in the first set, and being around people in the second set. The third set can understand both the first and second, and find some reasonable healthy perspective that isn't going to leave you exasperated on either extreme. The first group makes you crazy; the second one exhausts merely you.

Headless-chicken dancing only helps the Russians and others who wish to take advantage of emotional distractions. (Sounds like Obama) Let’s choose an example that employs selecting one of three groups: 

Recently, at a dinner, Trump said how great it is that the Chinese president can become president for life. The first group would see Trump as seriously and dangerously compliment a tyrant for cementing his power.  Then this group will laud itself for predicting that Trump will no doubt pursue the same goals as his Chinese peer. It's just more proof for the anti-Trumpers that they were right all along about Trump, the autocrat. 

The second group would offer a two-step Trumps plain about the comment: He's joking! Of course, he's kidding! Lighten up, Francis. It was at a lighthearted dinner, where such things are said! And he's joking, also, to rile up all those humorless folks in group one!  And their hysterics prove his point! (I found myself landing in this group, often, after breaking free from the first group). 

The third group avoids the impulse of the first. Because having been there before, an observer realizes it's too emotional and unnecessary (Much like that cliched notion of swatting a fly with a sledgehammer).  And he may view group 2 as close to reality. However, he notes that Trump's loose verbosity is "not helpful" to future discourse among quarreling groups. It creates chaos, less order like this thread in sum. Because you can fart in church doesn't mean you should. But Trump might keep farting, so hold your nose. And you know what: a lot of the stuff he's actually doing, as opposed to farting, is pretty good for the country.

So, I find myself floating in and out of group 2 and group 3 and I think that's the healthiest way to preserve your sanity, and your country's strength. Headless-chicken dancing (group 1) only helps the Russians, and others who wish to take advantage of emotional distractions. All of this is based on one key point: you don't need to and shouldn't have to sit so close to the political stage. Do not turn your life into some interior play-by-play of political events. There is a better way. It's called LIFE.

As I stated numerous of time. Trump is taking care of the Veterans and most Veterans appreciate it, regardless of parties. Trump kept his word! In the past, it took MOST Veterans, to see a  Doctor, three to six months. Now, I have appointments five days a week. What's the difference, (SIMPLE.) He gave the Veterans a choice to decide if we wanted to outsource. Finally, relief. The madness of waiting to visit a Doctor to treat your conditions is over... But to a lot of Liberals, they don't give a rats ass what happens to Veterans. They live in a society, who thinks of nothing but THEMSELVES, HATE, DISSATISFACTION, DEATH. I have friends, who I love genuinely in every party that I fought with and a lot of them are gone. I don't believe politics can bring them back! So, I would appreciated if you one day, look in the mirror and see how perfect you are and how lucky you are to live in a country were you have Devil Dogs Guarding your family and our Country. (Liberal politician thinking, "Lets put a Red light on the porch, so people will know their are NO WEAPONS in this home." God help us.....

Michael Cohen, President Trump's personal attorney and Republican National Committee Deputy Finance Chairman who is responsible for the bulk of the RNC fundraising efforts,^[1] appears to have been soliciting companies for millions of dollars with the promise of access to the President.^[2] Michael Avenatti has estimated a total of $4.4 million in transactions occurred between companies and the President's personal attorney.^[3]

A pharmaceutical corperation, Novartis, paid Michael Cohen's shell company $1.2 million.^[4] These payments occured weeks before the new CEO of Novartis had dinner with President Trump during his visit to Davos.^[5] AT&T gave him $600,000.^[6] A South Korean aerospace company gave him $150,000,^[7] they claim they used Cohen's services on accounting, but a closer look shows us something much more nefarious was probable;

The arrangement came as the company, backed by state-owned Export-Import Bank of Korea, competes to sell trainer jets to the U.S. Air Force in an auction that could be worth up to $16 billion.

And a firm controlled by a Russian Oligarch^[8] paid him half a million dollars.^[9]

The Times’s review of financial records confirmed much of what was in Mr. Avenatti’s report. In addition, a review of documents and interviews shed additional light on Mr. Cohen’s dealings with the company connected to Mr. Vekselberg, who was stopped and questioned at an airport earlier this year by investigators for Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel examining Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Taken together, The Times’s findings and Mr. Avenatti’s report offer the most detailed picture yet on Mr. Cohen’s business dealings and financial entanglements in the run-up to the election and its aftermath. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating Mr. Cohen for possible bank fraud and election-law violations, among other matters, according to people briefed on the investigation. Stephen Ryan, a lawyer representing Mr. Cohen, declined to comment.

...The payments by Columbus Nova occurred between January and August of last year. Andrew Intrater, the company’s American chief executive and Mr. Vekselberg’s cousin, donated $250,000 to Mr. Trump’s inauguration, campaign finance records show. He and Mr. Vekselberg attended the event together and met with Mr. Cohen there, according to a person briefed on the matter. Columbus Nova retained him as a consultant soon afterward.

Columbus Nova, the company controlled by a Russian oligarch that paid Michael Cohen, registered a number of websites aimed at white nationalists and the alt-right.^[10]

A company at the center of widening questions involving President Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen is listed as the organization behind a string of websites targeted toward white nationalists and other members of the alt-right.

Columbus Nova, a company whose U.S. chief executive, Andrew Intrater, and Russian investment partner Viktor Vekselberg have both reportedly been interviewed by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team, is listed as the registrant behind a handful of domains for websites named after the alt-right that were created during the 2016 election.

...These sites include Alt-right.co, Alternate-right.com, Alternate-rt.com, Alt-rite.com, and other similar combinations, which were all registered in the two days following a speech given by then candidate Hillary Clinton in August 2016 in which she excoriated the far-right movement known for its extremist, racist, anti-Semitic and sexist viewpoints. The sites are not currently operational.

Moreover, the Russian Oligarch that controlled the firm that gave Cohen half a million dollars was interviewed by the FBI.^[11] It was initially reported that agents working with Special Counsel Mueller stopped Vekselberg at a New York airport and searched his electronic devices.^[12] Another interesting thing of note is that Vekselberg attended a 2015 dinner in Moscow celebrating RT's 10th anniversary.^[13] This gala is infamously known for the photograph of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn sitting next to Vladimir Putin and his inner circle including high level government officials with incredibly close ties to Russian intelligence agencies.^[14] Vekselberg was seated next to the Putin/Flynn table.

An Associated Press investigation has discovered how two men close to President Trump leveraged access to the President to Persian Gulf Princes and turned it into millions of dollars.

Cohen was not the only person close to the President who was selling access to Trump.

After a year spent carefully cultivating two princes from the Arabian Peninsula, Elliott Broidy, a top fundraiser for President Donald Trump, thought he was finally close to nailing more than $1 billion in business.

He had ingratiated himself with crown princes from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, who were seeking to alter U.S. foreign policy and punish Qatar, an archrival in the Gulf that he dubbed “the snake.”

To do that, the California businessman had helped spearhead a secret campaign to influence the White House and Congress, flooding Washington with political donations.

Broidy and his business partner, Lebanese-American George Nader, pitched themselves to the crown princes as a backchannel to the White House, passing the princes’ praise — and messaging — straight to the president’s ears.

...In return for pushing anti-Qatar policies at the highest levels of America’s government, Broidy and Nader expected huge consulting contracts from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, according to an Associated Press investigation based on interviews with more than two dozen people and hundreds of pages of leaked emails between the two men. The emails reviewed by the AP included work summaries and contracting documents and proposals.

This could be very illegal;

Neither Broidy nor Nader registered with the U.S. government under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, a law intended to make lobbyists working for foreign governments disclose their ties and certain political activities. The law requires people to register even if they are not paid but merely directed by foreign interests with political tasks in mind.

Violating the federal law carries a maximum $10,000 fine or up to five years in prison.

You may remember Elliot Broidy from his $1.6 million pay-off of a playboy model that was handled by the Presidents personal attorney Michael Cohen. Broidy ultimately resigned from his position as the Deputy Finance Chairman of the RNC.^[2] Earlier in the year the Republican National Committee Finance Chairman billionaire Steve Wynn resigned after sexual misconduct allegations.^[3]

Furthermore George Nader, the other individual selling access to the President, is a cooperating witness to Special Counsel Mueller's investigation and has already testified before a grand jury.^[4] Nader is well known as an advisor to the United Arab Emirates, but the New York Times has discovered that he has ties to Russia too.^[5] George Nader used his ties to the CEO of a Russian sovereign wealth fund^[6] to set up the Seychelles meeting between Trump advisor Erik Prince and Kirill A. Dmitriev to, allegedly, establish a Trump-Putin back channel.^[7] Prince had told Congressional investigators and journalists that his meeting with the CEO of the Russia Direct Investment Fund, Dimitriev, was unplanned and that he just happened to run into him.^[8] George Nader contests that testimony, Nader says that Prince planned the meeting well in advance.^[9]

It should also be mentioned that the wife of Dmitriev is close friends with Putin's younger daughter.^[10]

Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, is known to have met with Prince shortly before President Trump’s inauguration, and Prince admitted to the meeting while testifying before the House Intelligence Committee late last year.

Six sources cited by the Financial Times say Dmitriev’s wife, Natalia Popova, is close friends with Putin’s younger daughter, Yekaterina Tikhonova, and also serves as the deputy director of her Innopraktika foundation.
