Even More Winning

A recap of more "winning" items for Trump, his administration and the GOP beginning in early July 2017.

• Isn't it ironic that the Trump's are having their own email scandal?
• Mitch McConnell introduces new version of Senate no-healthcare TrumpCare bill. Probably because the original version was so popular.
• Opening up about questionable behavior when someone else is about to reveal it is not transparency, it is cover your ass behavior, aka Donald Trump, Jr. 
  
• The Trump, Jr. Russian meeting story changes almost every day in both content and participants. More examples of a far less than transparent handling of the issue.
• Trump administration and family lawyers are coming and going. Seems everybody now has a private lawyer. At least Trump is creating jobs. 
• The various lawyers and legal teams are jockeying for position and power. They and the administration members are often contradicting each other.
• Trump wants the border wall to be both solar and transparent. That should be easy.
• He wants the wall to be transparent so that Americans walking along the wall will not be hit by the large bags of drugs being thrown over the wall. Is that an actual problem? 
• Mitch McConnell has to again postpone a vote on Trumpcare. This time because Senator McCain is absent. Republicans can't afford to lose a single vote.
• Oops, seems even with McCain's vote, the Republicans can not muster enough votes to pass their no-healthcare bill. Trumpcare is dead for the time being, again.
• Trump declares a "Made in America" week, how much of his or Ivanka's merchandise qualified?
• Close the border Trump policy has to issue thousands of additional H2B visas to fill job openings. Hope none of those visas go to any Muslims.
• The new GOP no-healthcare policy is to let Obamacare fail with significant sabotage by the administration and lack of funding by Congress.
• Trump throws Attorney General Jeff Sessions under the bus. He also warns Special Counsel Robert Mueller not to delve into Trump family finances.
• Almost immediately, it becomes public that Mueller is investigating the Trump finances.  
• Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigns. 
• Anthony Scaramucci named White House communications director despite objections from Spicer, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, and others in the administration.
• Son-in-law Jared Kushner questioned by Senate investigators about contacts with Russian officials. 
• Trump uses the speeches at the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier commissioning ceremony and the Boy Scout Jamboree as partisan campaign rallies. Classless.
• Suggests that he will fire Tom Price, Secretary of Health and Human Services, if he can't persuade GOP Senators to pass an Obamacare repeal/replace bill. 
• Trump bans transgender people from serving in the US military.
• Trump keeps up a steady stream of Tweets criticizing Attorney General Sessions.
• Senate once again fails to Repeal or Replace Obamacare. 
• New chief Pitbull, Anthony Scaramucci, in a profanity laced phone call, declares open war on Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and accuses him of leaking. Steve Bannon is also criticized. 
• The "skinny repeal" bill fails in the Senate. 
• No rebuke of the Mooch by Trump. 
• Reince Priebus is out as chief of staff. Did the Mooch win?
• Trump threatens to actively sabotage Obamacare by withholding reimbursement payments.
• Trump denies ever saying "repeal & replace" despite dozens of videos that contradict him.
• Anthony Scaramucci ousted as White House Communications Director after only 11 days on the job. 
• Technically, the Mooch got ousted before he even started. His official first day as Communications Director was supposed to be August 15th. That's like getting fired during your orientation.

Just another quiet month.
