Trump Seems to be Tightening the Circle Around Him

January 30, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

New Yorker: “In the first week of the Trump Presidency, influence has run through a very select group of advisers—maybe as many as half a dozen, maybe as few as two. The President’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Bannon have consolidated their influence.”

“The President’s isolation runs deeper than that. As the confusion around the immigration ban made clear, the vast government he oversees has little input on his actions… His campaign made clear that he was not interested in the findings of scientists, social scientists, or the American government. Trump’s transition has alienated him from the American public.”

Drumpf is not to be held accountable for anything he does. He will attempt to operate independently of any restraints.

We need people to take checks and balances seriously NOW!!! Before it is too late.
