Aika moni Trumpin viran alkuvaiheessa oli sitä mieltä, että "muutama aikuinen huoneessa" riittää / tarvitaan pitämään Trump kaidalla tiellä. No, ei mennyt ihan niin. Nyt on enää komppania jees-miehiä Trumpin tukena, mikä on ollut huono uutinen Trumpillekin. Koska kukaan ei ole enää onnistunut pitämään miestä kurissa, vaan meni tohkeissaan aivan liian pitkälle ja käynnisti mm. tämän impeachment-tutkinnan (ja hyvin todennäköisesti impeachment-syytteen).

Tulee ikävä Ronald Reagania. Oli mies paikallaan. Ymmärsi myös jotain oleellista arvovallasta ja arvokkuudesta, joka kuuluu virankantoon.

Monet kaipaavat, samoin brittien Thatcheria, he eivät hassutelleet mediassa - eikä sen aikainen media hassutellut heidän kanssaan. Politiikka ja poliitikot kaipaisivat kurinpalautusta samoin kuin mediat toimittelijoineen.

Trump päätti valita vuoden 2020 G-7 kokouspaikaksi omistamansa Doral-golfklubin Floridassa, Trumpin mukaan omistus ei liity mitenkään valintaan vaan paikan sijainti oli täydellinen.
President Trump has awarded the 2020 G-7 Summit of world leaders to his own private company, scheduling the summit for June at his Trump Doral golf resort outside Miami, the White House announced on Thursday.

That decision is without precedent in modern American history: the president used his public office to direct a massive contract to himself. The G-7 Summit draws hundreds of diplomats, journalists and security personnel, and provides a worldwide spotlight.

The announcement to chose the president’s own club as the site of an international summit comes as Trump is in the midst of twin crises that are consuming his presidency — a hasty and confused American retreat in Syria, and a growing impeachment inquiry in Congress.

White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, who announced the decision, said the administration was not worried about the appearance of a conflict of interest while he touted what the president’s resort has to offer.

“Doral was far and away the best physical facility for this meeting,” said acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, who announced the decision. He said that the administration examined 10 sites before choosing this one. Mulvaney quoted an anonymous site-selection official, who he said told him “It’s almost like they built this facility to host this type of event.”

Mulvaney said it was Trump’s idea to pursue the idea of hosting the event at his resort.

“What about Doral?” he said, recounting the president’s comments in the White House dining room.

The G-7 Summit rotates between sites chosen by the seven member countries, as well as by the European Union. The last time it was held in the U.S., in 2012, President Obama held it at the government-owned retreat at Camp David in Maryland. Before that, President George W. Bush held it at the exclusive, isolated resort of Sea Island, Ga. in 2004.

This year, Trump had hinted repeatedly that he intended to award the event to himself. At this year’s G-7 Summit, held in August in Biarritz, France, Trump said his aides had examined other sites and come back to tell him that Doral is the best. The site is set among office parks, in an inland area near the Miami airport.

“They went to places all over the country, and they came back and they said, ‘This is where we’d like to be,’ ” Trump said then. “It’s not about me. It’s about getting the right location.” He particularly praised the club’s ample parking.

The Doral club is a major part of Trump’s portfolio: it provides him more revenue than any other hotel or golf club, and he took out $125 million in loans to buy it.
But, in recent years, this keystone property has fallen into steep decline, with profits falling 69 percent in three years. An expert hired by the Trump Organization blamed the drop on Trump’s politicized brand.

Trump’s properties have hosted U.S. government officials before, and the company says it does not seek to make a profit off that business. But even so, Trump’s properties can be expensive: at his Mar-a-Lago Club, for instance, the government paid Trump’s company $546 per night for each staffer staying in the club’s guest rooms, and another $1,000 for a single night of drinking by White House aides at one of Mar-a-Lago’s bars.

In this case, Trump’s son Eric — who helps run the Trump Organization while his father is president — recently said that, if Doral was the choice, Trump would not overcharge his own government.

“It actually would have saved the U.S. a tremendous amount of money in that they wouldn’t be paying for massive amounts of rooms with some hospitality company that’s going to milk the hell out of the U.S. government,” Eric Trump said at a forum put on by Yahoo! Finance last week.

For the Trump Organization, the event would still bring guests to fill unfilled rooms, as well as a glut of global publicity.

The summit will also come to Doral at a particularly good time — June, when Miami is steamy and its business usually drops off sharply. In 2017, the hotel reported that June was its second-slowest month, with just 38.3 percent of its rooms occupied. Only August, at 31.1 percent, was slower.

Trump has visited his own properties more than 100 times as president — sometimes bringing along foreign leaders. Those visits have resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in revenue for his businesses, as the U.S. government — and other governments — pay for their personnel to accompany him.

But this is something on a different scale: seven foreign leaders, plus hundreds of other foreign personnel, would be housed at Trump’s resort near the Miami airport. Trump is already facing lawsuits for allegedly violating the Constitution’s ban on receiving “emoluments” from foreign governments.

By doing this, he could be inviting a huge increase in the very line of business that these lawsuits are scrutinizing.

Trump bought the 57 year-old Doral golf resort in 2012, taking out $125 million in loans from Deutsche Bank to finance the purchase. He then poured money into renovating it — relying heavily on a crew of Hispanic stoneworkers that included some undocumented immigrants, according to members of the crew.

Since 2015, however, the 643-room club’s revenue and profits have both nose-dived, according to figures that the Trump Organization provided to Miami-Dade County last year.

“They are severely underperforming” other resorts in the area, tax consultant Jessica Vachiratevanurak, who had been hired by Trump, told a county official last year in a bid to lower the property’s tax bill. Vachiratevanuraks said the club’s net operating income — a key figure, representing the amount left over after expenses are paid — had fallen by 69 percent as of 2017.

The Trump Organization itself has disputed that: it says the real problems scaring visitors away are the Zika virus and hurricanes. The Doral club’s revenue rebounded slightly in 2018, according to Trump’s presidential financial disclosures, though it is unclear if profits went up or down.

In recent years, Doral has turned to Trump’s political allies to replace some of its lost revenue: last weekend, for instance, it hosted a pro-Trump group called “American Priority.” Shown at that event: a violent video showing Trump shooting, stabbing and beheading both members of the media and some Democratic opponents, according to the New York Times.

The selection of Doral as the site of the G-7 seems to signal the collapse of promises made by both Donald Trump and Eric Trump at the start of the Trump presidency — when they pledged to create separation between Trump’s private business and his new public office.

“I will be leaving my great business in total,” Trump said then.

“There are lines that we would never cross, and that’s mixing business with anything government,” Eric Trump said in 2017.

Tuokin on kaikessa mauttomuudessaan tavallaan helppo ymmärtää. Thatcherissa oli sellaista johtajuutta mitä ihmiset poliitikoilta kaipaavat. Jos kuitenkin sattui olemaan poliittisesti vastakkaisella kannalla niin Thatcherin talouspolitiikka oli varsin jäätävää sorttia. Ei mikään pullantuoksuinen mummeli.

On teillä valinnat. Brennanin ja pietarin trollin erottaa vain kansalaisuus.

Tyyppi kaksi vuotta ulvoi putinin infosodan sanomaa, ja Muellerin loputtua, kertoi että "hänellä oli väärää infoa", tai suomeksi - "sori siitä".

Muistan kyllä kun penskana katsoin telkusta mitenkä Gorba, Bush viisaampi ja Koiviston Manu kokoontuivat Helsinkiin pohtimaan tulevaa. Arvokkuutta oli riittåmiin. Lentokoneet laskeutuivat H-Vantaalle ja Porilaisten marssi tervehti vieraita. Trumpin suhteen olen jo menettänyt toivon.
 
Vaikken missään vaiheessa erityisen anti-Trump ole ollut, niin onhan se sanottava, että Trumpin kohdalla ikääntyminen on tainnut tehdä negatiivisella tavalla tehtävänsä. Sitähän se Omarosa tms. Trumpin kanssa vuosikausia sitten töitä tehnyt ja vähän aikaa nyttemmin valkoisessa talossakin ollut nainen sanoi: Trump oli aikoinaan diilissä erittäin energinen ja terävän analyyttinen, valkoisessa talossa taas haparoiva höperö.

Vähän samantapaisia ajatuksia on tullut mieleen katsoessa Rudy Giulianin tv-esiintymisiä. Hän on kuin varjo siitä 9/11:n aikaisesta New Yorkin pormestarista, jota oli jo kyseistä terrori-iskuakin mm. kiitelty New Yorkin keskustan siivoamisesta turvallisemmaksi. Aika on ajanut ohi. Sama toki pätee moneen muuhunkin USA:n politiikassa tapetilla olevaan henkilöön. Esim. demokraateista Pelosi, Sanders, Clintonit jne.


Tämä siis jo vanha, vuoden takaa: Omarosa’s book raises new questions about Trump, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease

Omarosan kuvaus Trumpista 15 vuotta sitten:
Five hours is a long time. Everyone lagged, except for one person—Trump himself. His energy was high and his focus sharp. He engaged on an elevated level and had a full grasp of the rules and parameters of each task. He knew each of our names and performance histories, show by show. He spoke with a wide-ranging vocabulary, made eye contact, and sat still. He analyzed our performance and arguments on the fly. He kept all these balls in the air at the same time, without any sign of fatigue or stress.
...
Trump repeated a lengthy numbers sequence with no notes in front of him, calculated them in his head in moments, and came to his conclusion that the math-addled contestant should be fired.

Omarosan kuvaus Trumpista valkoisessa talossa:
Trump’s memory is failing, Omarosa alleges, to the point that he doesn’t recognize new hires when they come into the Oval Office. “Any time somebody new came in to brief him, he’d get angry and say, ‘Who’s that guy? What’s he want?’”

He’s “paranoid and irritable,” she writes, and “anything could trigger fits of rage.” Close advisors were subject to long, rambling phone calls, and subject to screaming tirades if they didn’t deliver what he wanted.

As she watched his interview with NBC’s Lester Holt about the firing of FBI director James Comey, she thought:

I’d known Donald to exaggerate and boast. He’d told white lies and lies of omission, ignorance, or misunderstanding. He’d bent the truth purposefully to make himself look good. But this was different. It was like he didn’t know what the truth was or couldn’t remember what he’d previously stated as truth.

His “mental decline could not be denied,” Omarosa writes, a fact that she believes she recognizes more than others in the White House because she knew him longer.
