Mulvaney's plan for Trump: "Let's take this show on the road!"

[brooklynite]

Politico:

Mulvaney has developed a good relationship with the Trump over time — enough so that the president named him acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau when the post became vacant. White House aides say he is unlikely to attempt to reform the president’s habits of spending much of his time watching television and tweeting, or to curtail the influence of Trump’s daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, on the policymaking process.

Instead, Mulvaney is expected to get Trump on the road as much as possible heading into his reelection campaign, capitalizing on the president’s love of campaign rallies while trying to sprinkle into the events as much policy talk on taxes and regulation as he can.

1. Proceed.

Let that crook babble on without a teleprompter. Often.

[California_Republic]

6. Ha ha ... yes. Please proceed

[Blue_true]

12. Exactly my reaction. "Please proceed, dumbasses".

I wonder whether deplorables know how to do anything with rotten tomatoes other that put them on salads? They may need to learn new tricks as Trump stinks up his rallies more and more.

2. 45, untethered, in front of his crazy base.....

3. health be damn.

Hatred on the march. . . .

4. It's all he's got isn't it?

I mean he doesn't do anything as President. He doesn't lead, or set policy, or develop legislation.

All he does is Tweet, watch TV, and a couple times a week tell everybody how great he is.

Rallies are all he does. All he like to do.

It's all he's got.

5. What if Pootie doesn't pay for it?

This "re-election campaign" scam could be in trouble if Pootie doesn't kick in millions of dollars. Anybody think of that? The only reason Trump would want to do it is if the Trump Org. can make money off it.

8. i get confused

Is that the Russian Laundromat or is it the tower thing in NY?
They don't mix Russian and Saudi laundry, do they?

[FakeNoose]

10. It's the Trump International Hotel in Washington DC

... the one that he got sued over because he was using unfair advantage in competition with the other hotels in DC. Probably the Russians and Saudis spend more money there than anybody.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. oh, I know the label on it

The function doesn't always match the label.

[DownFromTheMountain]

7. Whoa. Road Trip?

Trump should beware...don't let them break you on the road, dude!

[pangaia]

9. How does anyone have a "good relationship" with that sick fuck?

[Grasswire2]

11. It's cheaper for us to let him watch TV.

All that security, all that transportation cost in order to get him on the road so HE makes money off product sales etc.?

[Kajun Gal]

14. Definitely a show. A freak show. Not sure people will buy into it now.

[DesertRat]

15. I hope that none of the news networks carry the rallies

Like they ALL did throughout the last election cycle.

16. "If we get in the car now, we might get out of the country before we're caught!"

17. Get Him Out of the Way

I think they are just using Donald Trump's ego to get him out of the way. Mulvaney and others probably want to get Trump out of the White House so they can go about the business of running the country. How much influence or impact on the daily workings of the White House will Jared and Ivanka Kushner have if the President is on the road most of the time? It is possible that Mulvaney figured out what John Kelly could never figure out. The key to getting the White House to work is not keeping certain people out of the Oval Office when Trump is in the Oval Office; the key is keeping Trump out of the Oval Office.

18. So Mulvaney's plan is to just let him do whatever he wants.

So things are about to get even crazier. Great!
