Yeah, good point, I retract the second part of my argument.

With the budget cuts planned for those departments, they will be unimportant soon.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Trump is in Brussels. He really doesn't work well with adults he can't bully... He did manage to push Montenegro's PM out of the way...

... Trump's latest: He wants less German cars sold in America... Cars manufactured and/or assembled in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. :rolf:
I know that. You'd think someone could have told him?

Saudi Arabia was a very odd choice for a first OS visit. Normally it is a G7 ally with the main interest being whether it is Europe or Asia first.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

I imagine the process of choosing a first nation to visit went something like this:
Trump: "Who produces the most oil?"
Advisor: "Saudi Arabia"
Trump: "And who has the most golden trinkets to give me?"
Advisor: "Saudi Arabia"
Trump: "And who kills the most Muslims?"
Advisor: "Saudi Arabia"
Trump: "Make it happen!"Comment

I have a hard time imagining this freakshow lasting even four years, but it seems unlikely that the GOP majority will whip out the knives so long as he stays on his current course. Midterms might give enough seats to the Dems to deliver a quietus, or he might ramp up the stupid enough that his pals boot him in the name of self-preservation. Or possibly he just OD's on cocaine.

Something that may spell the end of the Trump administration (i.e. if russian probe or incompetence don't do it before) may be Trumponomics.
It seems like a lot of Trumps budget calculations (especcially its tax cuts i combination with increases spending) rest on the assumpion that the US economy will grow by 3 % p.A.
Something it last did more than 1.5 decades ago, during the 2 last years of Bill Clinton as PotUS, and which lies far above even the most optimistic projections for the coming years (which is just 2%).

So maybe, if congress finally accepts one of Trumps budget proposals that rests on the 3% growth assumption (with no failsafe) and this the years budget plan utterly fails (leading to a large increasse in US debts) this may spell the end of the presidency of Trump (with impeachment for utterly incompetence following)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

Congress owns the budget, not the President. They cannot impeach and remove him for suggesting a bad budget. They cannot impeach and remove him even for being incompetent. They can only do so for"high crimes and misdemeanors." Like obstructing justice by trying to convince subordinates to stop a criminal probe against a friend.The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty…we will be remembered in spite of ourselves… The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

There would be a way to do it.Originally posted by grumbler View Post
By invoking the 25th Amendement, Section 4
If the Vice President is backed by the majority of the congress, the Principal Officers of the Executive, or th majority in any other government body, he may declare the PotUS unfit for office.
It hs never been invoked before ... and originally seem to have been only meantfor fringe cases, like a president lying in coma, or surprisingly getting some kind of mental illness ... but i seems like the amendment 25.4 is so broad, that is also can be used, if (after a certain time of presidency) it turns out that the president is mentally too unstable or intellectually too challenged to perform the duties of the PotUS.
The independent also published an article about 25.4 as a means to get rid of the orange one:
