My thoughts exactly. People need to relax and let Da Don cook. Rosie Da Riviter making the coal rain down on Da Rust Belt as we speak thanks to the money from Meals on Wheels.

@ericgeller:
The secretary of state didn't want to be secretary of state. He did it b/c his wife told him to. So that's a thing. http://ijr.com/2017/03/814687-trumps-diplomat/ …
Figures...he's looked disinterested in the job ever since he took over
. It makes sense, though, he's only just supposed to be a figurehead, apparently he's been marginalized from the get-go and isn't even in the loop at the WH. Essentially neutering the State department,which I'm sure Vlad approves From most accounts, the actual job of coming up with and implementing foreign policy has gone to Trumps son in law, Kushner.
At least Rexxon didn't get the job for having sinister intentions unlike so many other department heads handpicked for Bannons plan of destabilizing and upending the administrative state

From reading the article, sounds like Mattis is making most of the decisions for him

Mattis is probably the most "sober" member of the cabinet . His worldview is a lot more conducive to reality than most folks in the cabinet. Also one of the few people Trump will treat with respect it seems given his military credentials.
Outside of decisions involving defense/the military though, it sounds like Kushner has been the one put in charge of maintaining the economic relationships and making deals with foreign countries. Vanity Fair had a piece a few weeks back basically explaining that Rexxon needs to run things through him and talk to him to stay in the loop

He's Putin's boy and medal recipient though,he's protected. Especially if he's in charge while they lift the lid odd the sanctions, he'll never have to pay for a thing in Russia anymore

His wife must've meant Putin in reference to God not being through with him just yet

don't worry, I'm against him 100% because of the Merrick Garland ******** and largely against him for his ideology.gorsuch got me ready to risk it all. it's like when you go to a college without cute girls. after a while they're all looking good. after listening to trump's incoherent idiocy these past few months, neil is a breath of fresh air.

however it is refreshing to see a well-spoken conservative for once. he's not sitting on his toilet tweeting out accusations of high crimes against a former president. he's not engaging in an incestuous affair with his daughter. etc.
