Marc Platt's Politics: I'm a Lefty
By Marc Platt
Did you ever wonder WHY Donald J Trump ran for President? Why would someone who has spent a lifetime buying other politicians off to suit his needs want the headache of running the most important country in the world?
If you look at it this way, it might make sense. He was broke. No one in America or most countries were lending him money for his projects. Apparently Russia has been funding a lot of his projects for decades and maybe, just maybe they wanted to get a return on THEIR investment.
I am going to try to avoid all the obvious political arguments, because I believe they are irrelevant for the purposes of this conversation.
To me, it seems obvious WHY Trump doesn't want too many "Political" people around him in his administration. That would make it more difficult to go about enriching him and his family. Ivanka Trump just got 35 more Chinese trademarks, which will go a long way making the Trump brand worth millions more. Forget the fact that Trump campaigned on the edict that they were going to do "No International Deals" while he was in office.
Once Communications Director Hope Hicks left her post, Trump did not fill the position. If John Kelly leaves his Chief of Staff position, I have a feeling that post may not get filled with a big time person.
This is a pattern. Trump uses disorganization and chaos to deflect the world from the fact that he is making all sorts of deals to benefit himself and not the country. By putting repugnant people like Jeff Sessions, Betsy DeVos, Steve Mnuchin and Greg Pruitt in important positions they don't belong, the media tends to focus on the craziness and not all the shady deals going on behind the scenes.
I could be wrong about this, but the evidence is mounting that this is happening.
Yes, there are a few things like "North Korea" going on, but we knew that would happen and that China would step in and get their way on a lot of things THEY want done.
If you were $2-to-300 million in the hole and could come out possible with a billion or two, would YOU take the chances he is? I wouldn't, because I would know what I have done to get in that hole. At some point, the rejuvenated media will follow all this money and find out what is really going on.
It is a lot easier for us to digest a 24-hour news cycle than pay attention to this not sexy stuff. Trump knows that and is masterful at diversion and knows Americans do not have the attention span to deal with the craziness and true intentions of our President.
What Trump has done....
He has:
Made Modern Journalism Great Again
Made Media Companies Rich
Again
Made Trump Rich Again
Made America Weak Again!

This is going to get very ugly very soon. FBI agents do NOT like their people attacked and smeared. Sessions & Trump are going to get shellacked when all is said and done. They have no idea what they are doing and who they are messing with here.
Washington ALWAYS wins. The current administration IS the swamp that they promised to drain.
The best thing that ever happened to HRC was NOT Becoming US President. She would have been Politically dead within months because the spineless and witless GOP-run Congress would have had hearing after hearing and likely would have found some (Bad pun) Trumped-Up charges to throw at her.
America is doing a course correction right now. All the bad Ju Ju will be swept out over the next two years. This President will stall for time and continue to divert attention away from Russia and his sexual infidelity issues with these firings and attempted mis-directions. His dwindling base will stick with him and so with the elected GOP officials until he is below the 30% Mendoza Line. When he dips, so will his support in Congress.
The Republicans will never remove him via impeachment. Mueller will have to have so much on him and his family, that he will cut a deal.
That is how I see it. December is the earliest we could see a Trump departure.
