Although barely a week’s transpired since the new POTUS took office, an interesting and amusing pattern seems to be emerging regarding his methodology in conducting business. 

For most good strategists, an important element of winning is maximizing advantages gained from opponents weaknesses. That's especially beneficial when one’s offering s are superior to begin with. Another critical factor is insuring that whatever's presented will prevail in the test of time. 

In the POTUS”s case he’s been given a tremendous advantage from  two major rivals, the Democrat party and the MSM, whereas they’ve both decided that regardless of the issue or subject, they’re going to take an opposite stance, no matter. Thus, since the POTUS is delivering what the majority of voters desired as fast as possible, his opponents are willingly placing themselves on the wrong side in every case, every time they object.  
    
And the more important the issues are to the nation, the worse objector’s make themselves sound and look.

A case in point is the negative eruption over the temporary freeze on immigration. Because while Republicans want to take some time to insure that proper steps are taken to insure the safety of the nation and its citizens, dolts like Elizabeth Warren are screaming to let anyone in regardless. Which in time will make her look like the reckless, unthinking, political vacuum tube that she is. 

As far as the media’s concerned, on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor” on Friday, Eric Bolling said to Newt Gingrich: “Uh-hm. And also, the difference is the media coverage as well. 

Gingrich replied: “Well, look, 80 percent or 90 percent of the media is the opposition party. I mean, let’s be honest about it. These aren’t reporters, these are propagandist. There was one panel on journalism in the age of Trump in which I don’t think a single member of the panel voted for Trump. They’ve learned nothing, they were wrong during the primaries, he won. They were wrong in the general election, he won. They’ve been wrong about his cabinet, it’s a great cabinet. They were wrong about covering the inaugural, which is truly a historic inaugural, hearkening back to Lincoln’s first inaugural in 1861. They miss it every time because they’re so far to the left and of so out of touch with every day Americans.”

And as a result, Trump has unlimited opportunity to pursue fulfillment of voters wishes. Because his opposition has nothing to offer, choosing instead to whimper, whine and object in ways that make them look like the childish complainers they are. 

At the same time, another heartening occurrence took place yesterday as the Koch network announced plans to spend between $300 million and $400 million in the next two years, intensifying its nationwide efforts in the initial years of Trump's presidency.

According to Steve Peoples of the Associated Press @yahoo.com via Drudge: “The investment, backed by the organization's extensive nationwide network, positions the billionaire industrialist family to play a major role in the debate over several Trump priorities — even those they oppose.”

The focus will be on re-shaping the federal health-care system and eliminating federal regulations — two priorities in alignment with the new president. They sharply oppose, however, efforts by the Trump administration to interfere with free trade.

Trump, however, isn’t specifically attempting to “interfere with free trade,” but instead trying to level the playing field such as the TPP which he calls a “total disaster” that will let China come in “through the back door.” Instead he’d rather make "individual deals with individual countries.” 

According to economist.com: Before the election, Trump’s senior trade adviser, Dan DiMicco, described seven items his candidate would put in action in his first 100 days, including sitting down with NAFTA countries, China, and even the World Trade Organisation. “He wants to say, listen guys, this has been one-sided for too long.” 

He will also demand the renegotiation of existing trade pacts or would threaten to pull out of them. “Every future trade agreement, from TPP to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with Europe will be put on hold. “Whether they go forward depends on whether we can return to balanced trade, and whether they add to GDP growth,” Mr DiMicco said. “The era of trade deficits is over. It will be, ‘Let’s talk, but otherwise we put tariffs on.’” 

Indicating that much like the immigration issue, Trump feels evaluation, discussion and analysis are needed before proceeding. Much like the formulative efforts that should be taken preceding any worthwhile business deal. And certainly common-sensical.   

Coming back to the Koch weekend conference, 550 donors also attended “each willing to donate at least $100,000 each year to the various conservative political and policy groups backed by the Koch brothers.” Much of which is also the Trump agenda. 

All adding up to a significant counter to opposition such as billionaire Tom Steyer and his clean energy economy goals. Particularly since Mother Nature is solving global-warming for free by lowering temperatures herself, thereby totally refuting Steyer’s argument altogether.

That’s it for today folks.
