DOES TRUMP KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING?

SPECIAL POST

So, Trump hasn't really issued any policy statements and you can't ask him a question of substance and get a straight answer.  All he keeps saying is that he's going to hire the best people and together they, we and Trump will make America great again.  Indeed, many would say that America is already great, so what in the hell is he talking bout?  

Is he for real, or is he simply another big blowhard?  

Let me begin by saying that America was a great country, but our ship of state has lost its way and we are no longer great.  Let's face it: we are, in fact, a second-rate nation.  We got there by sitting on our duffs and not paying attention to what was going on in Washington ever since the day Ronald Regan left office, and we capped our irresponsibility off by electing and re-electing Barack Obama to office and backing him up with the horrible Congress that we now are faced with.  

Secondly, any good manager is going to surround himself with good people who know what they are doing and who will give knowledgeable and straight advice.  So, if you're a good manager who can make good decisions based on good advice, then you don't need to know a while lot about any given subject... if you surround yourself with competent people.  We all know that this is Obama's biggest failure: he surrounded himself with a bunch of idiots and ran off anybody who was competent.  

Third, when you're in a race to win, why do you want to come out and reveal your strategies too early in the ball game?  You're just giving your opponents the opportunity to glomb onto your ideas and claim them for themselves.  

That all having been said, there will come a time in the not-too-distant future when Trump is going to have to name some of the people he's going to be depending on and he's going to have to develop positions on the important issues of the day.  

I think we all might be pleasantly surprised when that day comes.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
