Home and Hillary Clinton administration. Indeed, he was one of the rare republicans there and the only, or one of the very few, populist conservatives. Thats strange, since Populist Conservatism is the platform his boss ran on. Like trumpet candidate, bannon was willing to criticize big republican donors in their ideological stranglehold in a corrupt g. O. P. Establishment. Hes able to break with orthodoxy and big and Dramatic Ways Con for higher taxes, better infrastructure, fewer pointless wars Around The World, and more. He understood that the countrys greatest crisis isnt robert e lee statues but the steady economic and moral decline of its once robust middleclass. Not surprisingly, traders on wall street cheered when he got fired this afternoon. The dow shut up 100 points on the news. Lobbyists in washington will be celebrating late into the night. The funny thing is, that in some important ways, steve bannon was more traditionally liberal than the liberals who spent the last

There was more bad news on that front. A new poll found that 38 of americans approve of the way donald trump is handling his job as president. 56 disapprove. It also found that just 24 trust almost all or most of what they hear from the white house. 73 say they trust some or nothing at all of what they hear from the white house. Hours before that poll was released the president wrote on twitter the trump basis is stronger and bigger than ever before. He saved his toughest criticism from a sitting u. S. Senator. It started this morning when he wrote interesting to watch senator Richard Blumenthal then never in u. S. History has anyone lied or defrauded voters like
blumenthal. He told about his conquests, how brave he was and it was all a lie. He cries like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion. More than eight and a half hours later he finished with this. I think senator Blumenthal Shauld should take a long vacation in vietnam so he could at least say h
Indepth examinations of global issues, featuring interviews and roundtable discussions. Enemies. Now after meeting with jeanclaude, he says the eu and u. S. Obviously love one another. Seemingly bizarre sbun predictable behavior is part of a canny and wise strategy, that hes playing a fourdimensional chess, operating in space time. If so, hes getting badly beaten here on earth. In none of these situations has he actually been able to extract real concessions and there is a cost to this bluster and flip flopping. Trump is creating a reputation for the United States as erratic, unpredictable, unreliable and fundamentally hostile to the global order. Leader after leader in europe has made this clear.

The most tangible data suggesting that the United States is losing its good reputation comes from The Economist adam poser. He argues that countries are bypassing the United States and constructing a postamerican world economy. You can see this in the flurry of Trade Agreements that dont include the u. S. , from the transpacific partnership, which was signed minus america to the trade deal the European Union just signed with japan and many others that are in the works. The most dramatic indication of the world side stepping the u. S. , he says, is the decline in Foreign Investment in america. It has fallen off a cliff, he told me. Net Foreign Investment into the u. S. Has dropped by half since 2016. Perhaps some of the decline is part of a longer term trend. Other countries are growing faster than the u. S. But for decades, that reality has been countered by another reality. That among the worlds rich nations, america was unique in having strong Growth Prospects coupled with stable,

A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. Terminate the program. Theyre saying, you didnt give us a sufficient reason. In the meantime, let me read a little bit of the judges decision. The courts simply hold that if they wish to take any other action, it must give a rational explanation for its decision. That a prior policy is illegal simply wont do it. Ken, is this their fault for not getting this right . I think this is going to be the travel ban 2. 0. It means we cant get kavanaugh on the Supreme Court soon enough. He needs to be confirmed as the new justice because this case may end up there eventually. The reality is there are three legal problems with daca. Theres a federal law with how agencies make policies to implement stac statutes. Its the Administration Procedure act. When both daca and dapa were
