Trump may very well be the luckiest politician that ever existed. Because without having any experience, campaigning talent, or proven capabilities, he’s being handed the presidency of the United States by his opposition.

In a major surprise yesterday, British voters decided to leave the European Union reflecting a significant, and growing, rebellion against governmental controls, creeping socialism and the ramifications of forced immigration.

Despite there being major differences between Britain’s governmental structure and that of the U.S., the many similarities often indicate a parallel in the two nations political environment. Such as that indicated when Tony Blair turned his nation’s economy around for the better, by modeling his government upon American conservative philosophy, although he and his party were basically socialists. Blair’s contention was that in order to provide all that was needed by his population, first you had to build a strong economic base to provide the needed financial wherewithal.

And now today, primarily the working sectors of the UK have stated at the polling booths that they’ve had enough of others, such as the European bureaucrats within the EU, deciding the flight  of their economic and social destiny’s.

In the case of U.S. politics today, the framework is almost identical to that of the UK. An overbearing government has stifled economic growth, over-regulated substantially, ignored the needs of those in the work force, while permitting unbridled, uncontrolled immigration. 

Which means that if Trump can just take a patient approach, let the administration's horrendous performance speak for itself without need for his embellishment, and let the populace’s fear, disgust and rebellion against illegal immigration continue to fester, his chances have now greatly improved toward a win in November.

Another issue helping Trump considerably is that yesterday the Supreme Court deadlocked on the POTUS’s immigration plan to shield millions of illegal’s from deportation. The decision effectively killed the plan for the rest of his presidency.

It has been Trump’s contention all along to end to the programs anyway, since he has vowed to deport the roughly 11 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally. And now, the nation’s highest court agrees with him.

While the SCOTUS decision is distressing to the POTUS as a political point, his personal image took a pounding too. Whereas back in April he warned British voters they would be at the “back of the queue” in trade with the U.S. if they left the EU.  

That same mentality was echoed by Bill Clinton’s wife who also backed a “remain” vote in April.

Those sentiments were rebuked by Trump in May, when he promised that “leaving the EU would not put Britain at the back of the queue,” and said: “I think if I were from Britain I would probably want to go back to a different system.” He reiterated that support last week, telling the Sunday Times: “I would personally be more inclined to leave, for a lot of reasons like having a lot less bureaucracy. … But I am not a British citizen. This is just my opinion.”

All in all, another unforced administration error resulting in more points scoring in Trump’s favor. 

Which brings us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife. 

While not necessarily of major damage at this point, another case of potential unethical procedure has arisen which casts suspicion on her behavior, as follows: 

According to mcclatchydc.com: “The AP review of Clinton's calendar — her after-the-fact, official chronology of the events of her four-year term — identified at least 75 meetings with longtime political donors and loyalists, Clinton Foundation contributors and corporate and other outside interests that were either not recorded or listed with identifying details scrubbed. The AP found the omissions by comparing the 1,500-page document with separate planning schedules supplied to Clinton by aides in advance of each day's events. The names of at least 114 outsiders who met with Clinton were missing from her calendar, the records show. 

“The missing entries raise new questions about how Clinton and her inner circle handled government records documenting her State Department tenure — in this case, why the official chronology of her four-year term does not closely mirror other more detailed records of her daily meetings. At a time when Clinton's private email system is under scrutiny by an FBI criminal investigation, the calendar omissions reinforce concerns that she sought to eliminate the "risk of the personal being accessible" — as she wrote in an email exchange that she failed to turn over to the government but was subsequently uncovered elsewhere.”

Thus, the basis for significant distrust among voters continues to increase with the passage of time, fed by mounting documented evidence. And with more than four months remaining until November, it’s surely probable that the negative impact will expand. 

Which naturally leads to the ongoing question once again: Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbucks chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?  
    
That’s it for today folks.     
  
Adios
