Trump's New Chance

What will Donald Trump do next to have an administration that isn't a disaster? What will he do to embellish his history? I think it lies in simply doing the job better.

1. Get the budget done properly and with Congress. That may seem mundane, but it would show he can work with Congress to do some important things.

2. Go with his strong point: his background as a builder. This means two policies he has spoken about have a chance of appealing to him now.
    a. the Infrastructure Plan
    b. a new idea to ensure greater access across the country to investment capital

3. Tax reform which is needed.

Starting with this short focused agenda can help him politically and to actually help America in significant ways.

It seems simple, but executing the plan is important and how it turns out depends on the quaint old phrase "the Devil is in the details". Time will tell whether his work product and his administration make him a loser or a winner.

Trump Must Remove White Supremacists From The White House

It's time for Donald Trump to remove anyone from the White House if they sided with the White Supremacists in the recent violence in Charlottesville, VA. He owes it to the American people to demonstrate that he sides with the U. S. Constitution and Law, rather than violent deplorable people.

North Korea: The Aftermath

If we are indeed required to remove Kim and his military regime and this happens, then it would be good for there to be a replacement government. Since the Chinese don't want that to be a Democracy, they should stand ready with a plan and people to move in and stand up this new government with North Koreans in the lead roles. They should be ready to do that since we don't know if or when it would be required. They have had a lot of experience and have seen how their own government has changed and they have seen great hardship, as the North Koreans are experiencing, so they should have a good basis for creating the kind of government which they believe the North Koreans would need.

I suppose we could say that is one of the prices they have to pay for allowing Chinese businesses to enable North Korea with technologies of destruction, but it is a relatively small price if they want North Korea to remain unaligned and non-Democratic.
