This is my post from 10-13-17. We’ve had two more years of getting it done. Russian involvement in election-gone. $20 million and we learned Mueller is senile. Trump tweeting. They all tweet now. Including Pierre Delecto, or Mitt Romney, also senile. Stormy Daniels admits no affair with Trump. July 2017 Paul Ryan quoted, ” we weren’t elected to defend Donald Trump” Weasel is gone too, to the board of Fox News. Paris Climate Accord, heard much?
Please keep in mind there is a difference between Trump, the media, and the political establishment in D.C.
First, the media. They set the agenda for the public. They decide what you need to read, hear, and watch. For the most part, they follow like lemmings off a cliff. They have an agenda and its to promote liberal politics. But, setting that aside, they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. They studied word-smithing, like attorneys. They understand zero about business. Running this country is the biggest business in the world. Hence, there is a disconnect between what they think is relevant and what is relevant to make the country run and prosper.
Next, the political establishment in D.C. For the most part they are attorneys. Attorneys are not good at running businesses. Very few CEO’s have law degrees. In a business they are beavers who dam up the streams of progress. Forever telling the businesspeople what they can’t do. They like to make laws. Regulatory laws.
Here is the list of Trump accomplishments since January. You may have remembered bits and pieces but not much from what the media reports.
How many people have you heard say, “Trump scares me, Trump embarrasses me, or Trump needs to quit tweeting?” They don’t like his style. If you are in that camp you should read the Steve Jobs biography. The man did everything wrong according to the decorum and leadership books. Apple fired him and brought in a professional leader(can you say Obama) and he damned near sank the company while Jobs was building Pixar. They begged him to come back and he did under his terms.
I went from corporate life to running a subsidiary for the corporation at age 36. I answered to no one, I just had to deliver a profit objective. I had one other corporate employee amongst 300 and that person and I ran the show. No staff, no law department, and only our rules. After three years they called me back to the mother ship. I damned near went crazy from the bureaucracy. Not one thing a boss asked me to do made sense. The readjustment period was terrible. So, I know what Trump is experiencing. In his case for the first time in his life. Backstabbing BS from his own people, lies in the media, trying to get a worthless Congress to do anything.
So, he’s doing what I learned to do. Get it done yourself. Find ways to work around the useless direction the organization has established. Walk a tightrope without a net and survive by results. Eventually in a corporation or a country results get noticed and they count and protect you from the jackals.
