Let's change the subject, setting the issue of his Twitter verbal attacks aside and ask the question -- doesn't this president have far more important things to do than launch these petty attacks? Yes, he has and here are just a few that he should address, that is, if he can lessen his obsession with Twitter:
When is he going to do something about Job creation, restoration of the middle class, repair America's infrastructure, overhaul the misguided U.S. foreign policy, do something about this stagnant economy, work with Congress to reform the corporate tax code, as well as finding ways to stop corporations from evading taxes by establishing headquarters in other countries?
When will he stop the twittering and spend time on doing something to vastly improve Obamacare or, better yet, initiate in-depth studies to see how all five of America's healthcare systems, the ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and even the VA system, which are not currently coordinated, can be combined into one universal system by which all Americans will receive medical coverage?
By spending much more time on presidential matters perhaps Mr. Trump can figure out how to significantly reduce the number of Americans, some 47 million, who currently live below the poverty line; or the like number of Americans who are highly dependent on food stamps.
And he could work with Congress to do something to alleviate the massive student loan debt, currently approaching $1.3 trillion, a monumental burden being carried by 44 million former and current students. Trump should look into the reason why the U.S. government, which administers this loan program, feels a need to continue to makes billions in profits off of it. Why is it doing that when, in many countries in Europe and Scandinavia, college students receive free college tuition or receive generous government subsidies?
Without question Trumps needs to be attacking America's many festering problems. But there is a huge obstacle standing in the way of that happening; and that's because he doesn't have a clue on how to go about it. That's Trump, that's who he is. He's a real estate mogul, terrific at attacking the media, comedians and so-called judges, but that's all there is folks.
Right now Trump's promise to make America "great again" isn't proceeding very well at and, unfortunately, as long as he is president, there is no way that this is ever going to happen.
