Chess and Checkers

"In other words Senator Schumer, President Trump is playing chess while you and your ilk are playing checkers."

I have a confession to make. I am old enough to remember the Reagan days. I voted for him (twice). And I remember why he was so successful in getting elected by large margins. Even though portrayed as a novice, a "B" grade actor, the road to his success was littered with those who doubted him. I believe the same will be true for President Trump.

Here is a news flash for our new Congress. Our new President has not been trained in the art of "Washington stall". He has however, paid attention to the news. He learned all about the "pen and the phone". He had taken that bid and raised it. It is now, "the pen, the phone and the Twitter." 

Chuck Schumer, who has spend most of his adult life sucking off the taxpayers by working in government, is going apoplectic. This new guy Trump, is not supposed to be acting like this! What do you mean five executive orders a day? Well Chuck - in the real world, in the world of profit and loss, those who move slowly, lose. President Trump has come out of that world. And he does not like to lose.

So Senator Schumer, you can continue to play Washington parlor games. President Trump does not understand those games. Not only does he does not understand them, he does mind he does not understand them. Senator, if you screw with his cabinet picks, that is on you. And while you are wrapped up in Senate rules, the pen, the phone, and the Twitter on the President's desk are going crazy. In other words Senator Schumer, President Trump is playing chess while you and your ilk are playing checkers.

Change is coming - change is happening. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is draining the swamp, changing the landscape. Congress can be an anchor or not. Trump is acting at light speed and Congress is in a race with themselves, being both the turtle and the snail.
