Well do better: Trumps White House tries to gain a sense of order amid missteps

Not if you keep a drunk in charge

Soon after President Trump lifted off from the South Lawn of the White House for a long weekend in Florida, the administration’s communications and policy teams convened for a staff mixer.

The Friday gathering in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building was both social and practical: While the senior staff had been working closely together, many others still did not know each other’s names, portfolios or phone extensions at a time when communication breakdowns threatened to hamper Trump’s young presidency.

But the brief break soon gave way to another crisis when on Friday evening a federal judge temporarily halted Trump’s week-old ban preventing refugee entries for 120 days and individuals from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States for 90 days.

The judge’s ruling sent the administration scrambling yet again on an issue that has bedeviled officials, sowed confusion at airports worldwide and pushed tens of thousands of protesters to the streets. It came at the end of a week when Trump, upset that early stumbles had undermined his policies and image as a can-do executive, had taken steps to try to present a new sense of competence.

1. Laughable...

The "can-do executive" and GOP have done the following:
1. Raised insurance premiums on FHA-insured mortgages, hurting especially low-income buyers.
2. Threatened to send troops into Mexico.
3. Insulted Australia!
4. Begun to dismantle the EPA.
5. Banned Muslims from several nations in a brazenly unConstitutional move.
6. Begun to repeal Dodd-Frank, regulations meant to protect us from banks and Wall Street.
7. Possibly will pull the USA out of the Paris Climate agreement.
8. Threatened Chicago.
9. Threatened the media for reporting facts.

etc., etc., etc.

Now let's figure out what the hell we are doing.

They have to get better organized.
