BOLD like a Leopard

The smear strategy that predicted Donald Trump's failure as President has yielded zero evidence. Who predicted in 2016 that Trump as president would interact as well as he has with the leadership of China and other major rivals? Not me.  (Al-Jazeera) Love Trumps Hate of 2016 proved to be a very ironic slogan, as Trump's bitter enemies from Clinton to Gutierrez are consumed by their own bitterness. If you would have asked me at any point before November 2016 whether Donald Trump could be elected president, with majorities in both houses of Congress, and succeed in implementing any of his platform, I would have probably weaseled out of giving a straight answer. We have been used to being led by people that see themselves as statesmen and representatives of a system that pays lip service to being responsible to the American people.

Yet last night, instead of acknowledging that Roy Moore's personal vulnerabilities torpedoed his campaign, Twitter users started attributing his defeat to a certain sector of the population that they call #BlackWomen.

Any way you cut it the moving of the United States embassy to Jerusalem is a story that if people had a proper perspective on world affairs would be relegated to page 16 of most newspapers. But as it is there are three reactions to this story. 1. Donald Trump has officially alienated us from the Muslim world and may have started WWIII. 2. Sudden Fanboy Onset Syndrome (SFOS) 3. Focusing on stuff that is slightly less bullshit.  Me in about 20 years watching the @30for30 on the Ball family. #LavarBall #Lonzo #Melo #Gelo #futureESPN30for30 pic.twitter.com/4gbIODj4nN — Josh Baldwin (@baldwinjosh) December 4, 2017 Well, I'll tell you what: I didn't fall for any of it. Donald Trump took a risky stab at doing a very symbolic thing to satisfy ...
