"He'll do what polls well [ with his enablers and supporters] and nothing else." (I think that needs to be added) Many of Trump's unethical and immoral policies do not poll well with the majority of Americans. And I'm sure that Trump and his minions have nothing but contempt for Sister Norma Pimentel. Agree completely. That was what I intended but not what I wrote. Thank you for pointing that out and clarifying.

"Between starting a trade war with our allies, trying to break up the EU, and casting serious doubt on his commitment to NATO—not to mention saying Crimea should belong to Russia—it’s hard to imagine Trump carrying out a more Russia-friendly foreign policy. He’s also trying to undermine Merkel’s weakening government, and continues to take Putin’s word that they didn’t meddle in the 2016 election."

It should give the advocates of Trumpism — defined by some mix of protectionism, nativism and bitter resentment of elites — pause that the strongest advocates of the creed are some of the most frightening figures in American politics. I am not necessarily referring to the politicians Trump chooses to endorse in primaries — given that the president’s favor is more based on loyalty than ideology. I am talking about that subset of Republicans who take the ideals of Trumpism most seriously. People such as West Virginia Senate candidate Don Blankenship, who, before losing the primary, ran ads highlighting the Taiwanese heritage of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s wife. Or Iowa Rep. Steve King, who argues, “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” Or Arizona Senate candidate and former sheriff Joe Arpaio , known for extreme ethnic profiling, terrorist raids, and cruel and unusual punishment. Or Virginia Senate candidate Corey A. Stewart, who has associated with white supremacists and thrown his state party into turmoil. “This is the question for Republicans going forward,” Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report told me. “Will the GOP be defined not just as the party of Trump but as the party that’s hostile to non-whites?” And what if there is no difference? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumpism-a-whites-only-ideology/2018/07/02/82abd142-7e28-11e8-b660-4d0f9f0351f1_story.html?utm_term=.1acb73a5cd89

This is like the time Obama monetized the Presidency in every way imaginable, stuffed his and the fam's pockets thoroughly, and then claimed he was battling corruption and the deep state...

Say what you want but these guys are experts at corruption. More shadiness and unethical behavior from the Trump Administration. This reminds me of the great Trumpian quote: "They're to rich to steal". Because the Trump administration is so fraught with corruption the Commerce Secretary possibly breaking insider trading and other security laws barely registers... It shouldn't be that way. Hopefully whenever we get a new government it is inhabited by ethical people who believe in public, not personal, service...

US Chamber of Commerce launches campaign against Trump's tariffs 1:02 PM ET Tue, 3 July 2018 | 03:10 Even the typically Republican-aligned U.S. Chamber of Commerce is pushing back on the White House's trade tariff policies. On Monday, the country's largest business group launched an online campaign against President Donald Trump's hardline stance on trade, which his press secretary described as a way to "create a fair playing field" for U.S. businesses. "We think trade works for the American economy and tariffs don’t," John Murphy, the Chamber of Commerce's senior vice president for international policy, told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Tuesday. www.cnbc.com/2018/07/03/chamber-of-commerce-chief-talks-business-groups-anti-tariff-campaign.html

Republican members of Congress literally spend July 4 in Russia meeting in secret and asking nicely if Russia will stop helping their party win elections.....
US Senators visit Russia without US media, so the only narrative we get is from Russia state TV. I don’t think that’s good for anybody, except Russia. None of the Senators tweeted about the trip. Some even tweeted like they were celebrating the 4th in DC because... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

It's a shame that Trump is losing one of his "best people". . .
EPA chief Scott Pruitt resigns amid scrutiny over his high-priced travel and ethics and management decisions
Up next, Wilbur Ross??

Thank goodness for Pruitt's resignation. A victory for ethical behavior and transparency in gov't officials, not to mention the environment. That resignation letter was something tho. I think Pruitt channeled all his anger into obsequiousness towards Trump. It was like one final way he could say, "F you" to his detractors.

The guy taking his job is no friend of the environment. And this figures. Trump hates the EPA, and would figure to appoint another Neanderthal. The only question will be whether the new person will be as ethically challenged as Pruitt (or the CIC).
