Quote:Trump wants to run this country like Putin.  He fires Comey then meets with Russians 1 day after.  He leaks classified information that was provided by Israel to the Russians (who are allies with Syria and Iran .... pretty much Israels 3 worst enemies).  

 

Trump is a good businessman but does not understand business in the political arena.   It kind of reminds me of sales personnel in the commercial world slipping a client $10k on the golf course for some additional business whereas if that same sales person goes to lunch with a Gov Rep, they can't even pay for their $26 meal without violating the Federal Acquisitions Regulation (FAR) ---  you gotta know the rules to do business in the Government World.

Trump firing Comey is cleaning up Obama's mess  Comey should have been fired in July of last year.  The fact that Comey was fired now means nothing other than Trump lost confidence in his ability to actually lead the FBI.  Nothing Putinesque about it.  I know you folks on the left think he's trying to kill the Russian investigation, but the reality is, that investigation continues regardless of whether Comey is there or not.  The difference is, there won't be some glory hound racing to find a camera to play Attorney General instead of doing his job as the FBI director.

 

I love the suggestion that you've gotta know the rules to do business in the Government World.  Please. That's the logic that has put this country $20 trillion in debt.  The "Government World" of doing business is a miserable failure.  Someone who ACTUALLY understands how things work in the real world recognizes that instantly.  The problem with someone like Trump stepping into the fray to try to resolve that is that there are career government employees from stem to stern who will do everything in their power to gum up the works for any real type of reform, so the only way to make any real changes requires someone who is willing to go completely nuclear on things like this to actually return the government to a leaner, more efficient operation that isn't just this bloated bureaucracy that gobbles up everything in its path and still needs more than it can possibly take in.
