Trump is dangerously incompetentBy Stephen Stromberg May 15 at 9:19 PM
It has long been clear that Donald Trump would be an incompetent president. But over the past week he has proven himself to be a dangerously incompetent president.
In the opening weeks of his presidency, Trumps unforced errors were embarrassing but, one could argue, at least the botched rollout of his immigration executive order rendered it vulnerable to legal attack, his poor negotiating skills complicated the passage of his slipshod health-care bill and his inattention to detail enabled his surprisingly capable foreign policy staff to limit the damage he could do. And, some Democrats noted, the presidents flailing has already helped create the conditions for an anti-GOP wave in 2018.
Given his many business failures, the only realms in which Trump has proven himself adept are those of popular manipulation and treachery, along with the related arts of show business. No doubt he will use them in the coming days to mislead and scapegoat his way out of accountability.
Republicans who savagely attacked Hillary Clinton over the petty email server scandal will now show where their true concerns lie with party or with country. No agenda is worth pretending this presidency is good for the nation.

After he divorced, when he tried to run his businesses, he bankrupted them. And then by getting on top again, he had to rely on money laundering and illegal means.
People do not give Ivana enough credit, we sure know Dump doesn't give her any crediit....she is a WOMAN by the way!

I have followed Ivana for years, always admiring and respecting her as a professional woman. You can read her own bio per her webpage, http://www.ivanatrump.com/Legendary-Ivana.html but if you want further fact checking, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivana_Trump and see the timeline for when she was involved with running Trump's businesses.
Furthermore, he has acknowledged on several interviews that because she was working so much and trying to raise three children, leaving no time for him, he began the affair with Marla. That is what Ivana received for working so hard to make him a success! Ivana raised his three children...with little help from Donald. But now he takes the credit!
