Promoting Products, Presidentially

UNLESS I'M DREAMING, which I'm not, the Trump administration, after only three weeks of existence, is falling flat on its face, careening towards total destruction by means of impeachment and removal by due constitutional process. That is, unless circumstances change drastically. During the campaign, Trump, as nobody can forget, constantly screeched about the utter necessity and his determined intent to, upon his presumed assumption of the American presidency, prevent all Muslims from entering the country. Inevitably, that particular bold big mouthed talk, like all the rest, is coming back to haunt our alternative-fact president, because his claim, and the claim of all conservatives, that his recent executive order is not a ban on Muslims, falls flat, an obvious lie. You might be aware that Rudy Giuliani, who advised Trump to ban Muslims but to do so in a cleverly deceptive manner so as to make it appear that Muslims were not being banned, revealed having given his advice recently on national TV. So, that advice from The Rudy-man, and Trump's acceptance and implementation of it, is a matter of public record, a fact, not an alternative fact. The federal court system says that all this is relevant, and that therefore Trump's seven Muslim country hit job is, well, illegal. Next stop is the Supreme Court, and not only does Trump repeatedly verbally attack the American judicial system in general, but, during his presidential campaign, repeatedly condemned Chief Justice John Roberts for having voted to uphold Obamacare. How likely is it that Trump would get a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court concerning his anti-Islamic executive order, which has already been ruled illegal by two conservative and two liberal federal magistrates in two different federal courts? For that matter, how likely is it that anything that Trump does in terms of executive orders will be met with mass nation wide protests, judicial intervention, ridicule throughout the narcissistic Trump's media nemesis-es, and/or extreme congressional resistance? Frankly, quite. And can anybody say Kelly Anne Conway, covert corruption, and conflict of interest? I mean, hell, why doesn't the President just go whole hog, and turn the Oval Office into a public relations and advertising agency for Trump Enterprises, Inc., with a special emphasis on the elegant, sophisticated, stylish line of Ivanka Trump shoes and accessories?
