Train wheels slipping on the track

Well it has been a week where the White House has finally started to fill cabinet positions but also has seen a lot of the Presidents policies facing opposition. The travel ban has been halted by three brave so called judges and Trump, who does not like to lose has fired up the secret brethren in the WH to quickly come up with something equally ineffective and I'm sure he will repost another executive order confounding the Judicial system to try and block all his ideas protecting the American people.
   I wonder if he tweets on a whim wherever he is, he appears to have tweeted a shameful tweet to Nordstroms while receiving his daily security briefing, I guess Ivanka has been picked on and she needs Daddy to fight her fight and it wasn't over til Ms. Conway also jumped into the fray and spoke how wonderful Ivanka's line was. I'm sure all the Trump supporters would love to outfit themselves as Ivanka fashionistas .
   Let's get to some of Trumps more campaign promises, how about opening up the coal mines and all the shuttered steel plants, every man alive knows that coal is a dead industry and he can never open up any coal mines. Steel has been taken down by cheap but quality exports and the industry will need massive amounts of capital to ever try and regain that business, although building the wall with Chinese steel does seem almost un-American, so if we put billions of dollars into steel we can build the twenty billion dollar wall and it will be made in America.
   But really if we deport all undocumented workers we will need all the steel workers and coal miners to fill all those open jobs. Put them all back to work with service jobs and minimum wage jobs, they are jobs and your President has promised you all jobs which is why you so heartily supported him, no more state dole these jobs will soon be yours and you all can work right along with your wives working their three part time jobs to keep it together. I truly hope this isn't the way it turns out but whole sectors of the job market simply do not exist any more and unless workers are retrained to catch up with technology they will have few options. Don't wait for jobs that will never be back get  yourself some help before that to is gone.
   Republicans are being heckled and shouted down at their own town meetings and I think some might actually start to feel the pressure of being on the Trump circus train. Several politicos will be up for reelection in 2018 and they had better do the job their constituents who elected them want them to do or they too will be thrown in the job pit that is growing deeper every day. They say the jobless rate is going down but it's just that people drop off the list and millions of people just don't look anymore and have generally given up hope of ever having the life they knew before Obama got into office.  Trump is not going to save you, you have to save yourselves. I can only hope that Trump sticks to his promise to maintain Medicare and Social Security because that is the only hope some people have and without that their is nothing but despair and severe hopelessness. I keep thinking that Trump will some how reach deep and stop all his failures and because of his gilded ego and desire to be the best will actually stop listening to Bannon and Sessions and give everyone a chance at the gold plated toilet. He needs to at least try if not for the majority that voted against him at least for the minority that did and either way fifty percent of the people will always disagree any way..
   Do some thing to bring all Americans back to the prosperity table and let's all feast together there simply is too much class system in the USA and you don't have to be the only one making a buck for the Trump family monopoly game.
