The United States, a personal business

The remarkable investigative work, again, of the Washington Post, of New York Times and Wall Street Journal has not yet confirmed that President Trump has withheld $ 250 million of US military aid from Kiev pending the launch of such an investigation.

In any other spatio-temporal dimension, seeking the help of a foreign government to collect compromising information about a political adversary would provoke a national political crisis with congressional hearings and an accelerated march towards the removal of this cunning trickster. President.

In this spatio-temporal dimension, one must see what seems to have happened with Ukraine – pressure, blackmail, extortion, conspiracy – as business as usual. Donald Trump heads the US presidency as he led the Trump Organization's affairs: with minimal consultation and maximum personal involvement. He decides, no matter the consequences.

Improvisation, again and again improvisation

Whenever we look at what's going on in the White House these days, we have to go back to November 8, 2016. Donald Trump can claim the opposite, but no one, no more than him, does was waiting for him to win the presidential election. No need to repeat the trial of the electoral college that paved the way for the top of the state, although it has collected 2.9 million fewer votes than Hillary Clinton.

Each new day proves that he was not prepared to assume the presidential tasks. We still see him – 976 days after his swearing – by the constant coming and going in his administration, by the chain of decisions that go against the political and legislative traditions of the country and by his interminable sprees strewn simplifications, exaggerations and falsehoods.

More time passes and more Donald Trump reproduces in the Oval Office his ways of doing business. Trump Tower At New York. He watches an astronomical amount of TV, spends hours on the phone and makes his own decisions. He surrounds himself with people with weakened powers or yes men.

The affairs of the country, like those of his company, must end by bringing him back, the consequence of his victory. Air Force pilots landing in Scotland for refueling? Normal they go to sleep at his Turnberry property. Vice President Mike Pence on an official visit to Ireland? Also stay at Trump International Golf from Doonbeg. And so on.

Last in his old life, he ultimately only trusted his family members. Brad Parscale, the director of his re-election campaign, evokes, as for any business, his estate and speaks without embarrassment of a Trump dynasty at the head of the United States. The son, Donald Jr? Jared, the son-in-law? Or Ivanka, his favorite? At least that, he thought, the CEO.

The Trump, a political dynasty?

Outside, the strong heads!
