There's an old saying that things come in threes. It's uncanny really. I've noticed that it's true more than once in my life. So it seems sort of natural that Trump is getting the shit kicked out of him on three fronts.
All of these stories have been on the front page so I don't need to say much by way of explanation. But here's my reaction and predictions.
Doral. He's ostensibly put that behind him. Of course, there will be the usual suspects who will harp on it, dredge it up in the future, and make reference to the "Emoluments Clause", as if anyone outside of some MSNBC talking head knows what the hell that is. Here's the deal...it would have been a good deal. The resort was going to do the G7 Summit at cost. It's by all indications a perfect place to hold it. But no. Once again the haters cause the taxpayers to get screwed. So be it.
Impeachment. It's going to drag on. Any thinking person knows that it's a bullshit charge. The Dems will force it to the Senate and then we'll see what happens. Can't imagine they can get to 67 votes. But politicians are politicians. They can bend with the wind. That it is all being done in secrecy is a big black eye for the Dems. But they clearly hate Trump more than they care about their integrity.
Kurds. This whole situation will unfold over weeks and months. There will be some shifting of the deck chairs and our folks will be moved around but not much will change. The wild card will be how aggressive the Turks are. If they decide they've had enough of the Kurds (remember they are considered terrorists by the Turks with some justification) then it could get ugly. But I'm pretty confident we won't insert ourselves between them again. And I'm pretty sure that Trump will keep the heat on to get more and more of our military out of the region.
