Lost in a lost world?

Submitted by ub on

It has been said that there is absolutely no substitute for American leadership, but please tell it to @POTUS. @realDonaldTrump swore to represent the United States of America and he works for every one of us. So why after one year in office has he wasted a good deal of it playing golf?

The king of Queens, aka Donald John Trump, is the 45th and current President of the United States. He has been in office since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. But what has he done for US lately?

Laughing and Mocking US

Could it be that a self-described #VSG very stable genius and great negotiator is more like an instigator and the builder is more like a destroyer? Where is the #MAGA TrumpPence endgame headed?

In US politics, a government shutdown happens when Congress and the President fail to pass appropriations legislation funding government operations and agencies. This is the first time under one-party rule.

Competitors, allies and creditor nations are pointing fingers and mocking our GOP controlled Whitehouse and Congress' inability to govern.

Everyone's been rejected at one time or another in an embarrassing manner, usually followed by an extremely humbling finger-wagging episode. Others call it finger-pointing, but unfortunately, we see it everywhere.

Women marching, teachers lecturing, friends and family members preaching, or politicians blaming. The latter is probably the most dangerous because they work for you and only you can replace them with your personal vote. The Twitter, Hashtag, TV, Radio and Internet Media has the whole world frustrated as hell, but our so-called leaders are not even close to being humbled.

Financial Markets Commentary

It was an event a year ago that presaged the biggest story of 2017’s fourth quarter. In October 2016, Australia’s Brighann Cotton sold 88 bales of cotton from their Texas affiliate to a client in China. It wasn’t carried out in a routine way by obtaining letters of credit from the relevant
