CNN’s Don Lemon says that “we are witnessing the collapse of American foreign policy” (7/19/018).
If only. It’s not quite as promising as that.
We Deplorables had hoped to witness the collapse of the American foreign-policy Establishment. But alas, I fear this monster will regroup when Trump The Slayer leaves office. Sad.
The Big E, the permanent state, is just too malignant and invasive. It enervates and innervates everything. It won’t allow change, such as peace with Putin.
Journalists should be asking (but they don’t) why the most excellent John Kelly is rumored to be leaving the White House. Instead, they are rabbiting about a girl with super-model looks, Miss Hope Hicks, who left the White House.
Why is it of no interest to this incurious lot (the media) that the liberal Kushners had been gunning for White House Chief of Staff Kelly for a long time? As I warned on February 15, 2018:
… if Chief of Staff John Kelly is ousted, it will be the doing of the Goldman-Sachs West-Wing matriarchy. Dina Powel, former adviser to Ivanka and previously on Trump’s National Security Council [she has a BA], is a relic from Goldman Sachs and an Ivanka recruit. The affable Democrat Gary Cohn [he left, too], Trump’s chief economic advisor, is former president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs. These “Kushner-Cohn Democrats” ousted Stephen Bannon from the West Wing, and are, no doubt, gunning for John Kelly.
When Powel and Cohn departed, the work to oust Kelly was likely completed by the Kushner duo.
More Kushner exploits:
#DiamondAndSilk ought to "rail against #JaredKushner, who not only put prankster #JohnMelendez's call through to #POTUS, but got Trump to call Melendez back. Send #Kushners back to NY. https://t.co/3S8JVhMHCE

“IT’S G6 versus one”:
“It’s never been seen before. This is not normal. Tariffs will kill Americans; they can’t live without Chinese trinkets. No American president has ever behaved like so. Russia? Why would Trump want peace with Russia? North Korea? How dare Trump pursue peace with that rogue regime?”
In a nutshell, this is the static, decontextualized theme of the malpracticing, moron media on their Trump Watch.
And now, in reporting on the G-7 summit, silly women with chipmunk voices dripping with contempt are appalled, but appalled, that POTUS is asserting American interests there, and not acting like the plaything of “our European allies.”
NEWS FLASH, FOOLS: That’s why we elected Donald J. Trump.
UPDATE (6/9/018): Let’s see decriminalization. Enough of Jeff Sessions state-enforced prohibition.
#POTUS pokes #JeffSessions in the eye, again, and it's a good thing, in this instance: "Trump signals support for legislation easing U.S. ban on #pot." Decriminalize, too. https://t.co/ajbqw47YJO https://t.co/ajbqw47YJO

Does France even have an economy? French dumbass, #Emmanuel Macaroni thinks so: #Trump "may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mind signing a 6 country agreement if need be. Because these 6 countries represent values." #Tariffs…. https://t.co/NZ1zQwIVH2

A laudable sentiment unreported (except here) was expressed by President Trump, on June 1.
It is that the US would be far better off if it negotiated bilateral trade agreements, instead of multilateral deals. Of course, “county-on-country” agreements, as the president put it, are preferable to the multilateral maze we currently negotiate.
If you can’t have free trade—and we don’t!—smaller and less unwieldy agreements are preferable.
If you find a quote, please send it along. The rule is that the malpracticing media neglect or twist everything substantive Trump does or says.
