The Conservative Political Action Conference held its annual convention this week in National Harbor, Md. President Trump, his Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and his Chief Strategist Steve Bannon all addressed the convention. It was a great opportunity for the President and his appointees to articulate a policy position on matters important to the country and especially to the attendees at the convention who make up some of Trumps and the party's staunch supporters.
But Trump, Priebus and Bannon held out true to form with their "ditto head" comments. Their supporters and the country would not hear anything positive about the future. Instead, all three lashed out at the news media and blamed them for "fake news." The media was also called the enemy and Trump once again tried to cast blame on Hillary Clinton with his own brand of "fake news." Bannon spoke about Trump shaping a new political order in America which sounded anti-American to this writer.
Besides bashing the media, Trump sang his same worn out song, he was going to make America great again. No one would mess with us with our military buildup, etc, etc, etc. And sadly, repeated his lies concerning how many people were covered by the ACA and the latest round up of undocumented immigrants which was carried by the Times Picayune.
The President and his top two appointees failed big time to articulate a positive agenda for the future of the country and its people. The ring master is still leading the republican circus and the big tent continues to collapse while the people look for leadership.
