#1 As noted over at AOSHQ, "How soon after inauguration does the media rediscover true unemployment, a bad economy, crushing public debt, and the plight of the homeless?"

#2 MR yes, if its negative they will report it. They probably will make news up as they go along. Nothing new to expect out of them. No interest in learning anything new. Something like the technology of the House and Senate.

#3 Preemptive strike would be to announce that Trump demands to know what the real numbers are, not the cooked and crooked kind handed out for years. A lot of firing and a lot of 'I was obeying orders' from the miscreants at the start of the administration among the senior fellows at Labor et al. Then you start with a true baseline. You also have the bat to hammer the media for not investigating themselves the lies pushed out for 8+ years.

#4 As a CEO I think Trump will follow Procopius2k's advice. You have to know the ugly truth to fix things. That was where Schwarzenegger went wrong.

#5 Trump rode a huge crest of a wave of disfranchised voters who felt that their party had left them and they wanted someone new outside the beltway. They were ticked off because they felt like their party did not listen to them in 2010 and 2012 after giving them the House and Senate.

#6 No interest in learning anything new.

Seems to be the recurring theme today.

Preemptive strike would be to announce that Trump demands to know what the real numbers are, not the cooked and crooked kind handed out for years.

This * 1,000! If Trump wants to put both of his thumbs in Obama's eyes and a boot in his ass, I can think of no better way. I also hope Trump trashes Obama like Obama trashes Bush by blaming shit on him, but just for the first three or four months. That sort of thing gets old fast.

PS - that picture is priceless!

#7 Hell I own and have been thrown out of better golf clubs than my predecessor has been allowed to play.

Ground rules? WTF? I own the grounds, I make the rules.

Sure behind the bar would be okay. But not on the links, this is a classy place.
