Winning - February 2019

Keeping track of the GOP and Trump Administration:

• The Trump golf count - 159 visits to golf clubs in 110 weeks, 124 rounds of golf. 
• 02/04 - Trump's inaugural committee is ordered to turn over documents about donors, finances, and activities to federal prosecutors in Manhattan. 
• Leaked copies of Tump's "work" schedule show that about 60% of his time is unstructured ("executive time") spent watching TV, tweeting, and making phone calls. An exhausting regime.
• 02/07 - The Supreme Court votes 5-4 to block Louisiana's abortion law. 
• 02/11 - Former White House staffer and author, Cliff Sims, sues Trump.
• 02/13 - FEMA administrator William "Brock" Long resigns.
• 02/13 - The House votes 248-177 to end US military aid to Saudi Arabia in Yemen. 
• 02/13 - A federal judge has found that Paul Manafort lied to prosecutors after he had made a plea deal. 
• The Trump Organization had abandoned plans to start two new hotel lines, Scion and American Idea. 
• According to his 2019 physical, Trump is officially obese and his cholesterol is high.
• 02/15 - Trump caves and signs a government funding bill that includes $1.4 billion in border fence money, far less than was on the table before the shutdown or in 2017. The art of the deal by the great dealmaker.
• Trump's nominee for UN Ambassador, Heather Nauert, withdraws from consideration. 
• 16 states file suit to stop Trump from using emergency powers to build his wall.
• Another condo in New York City plans to remove the name Trump Place from the building.
• And then another Trump Place condo votes to remove the name. There were once six buildings in a row on Riverside Blvd. bearing the name. Soon there will be none. 
• Manhattan prosecutors are preparing state charges against Paul Manafort. Trump pardon proofing.
• 02/26 - The House voted 245-182 to block Trump's border emergency declaration. 
• 02/27 - Trump's former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen testified before the House Oversight Committee. Cohen calls Trump a racist and conman. Not exactly new news.
• 02/28 - Kim Jong-un and Trump abruptly cut short their summit with no agreement. The great dealmaker. 
• It looks like Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg and others will be interviewed and/or testifying in Congress. Fallout from the Michael Cohen testimony.
