An Industry Group Says the Trump Administration Is Run “Like a Bad Family Owned Small Business” — And They Love It

A contractors trade association, in an internal presentation, mocks the president while praising him for cutting back on rules meant to protect workers.

What does American business really think of President Donald Trump?

One candid glimpse emerges in a pair of PowerPoint presentations delivered last year by top executives of the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), one of the construction industry’s national trade groups.

Trump, the presentations state, is an “autocratic leader” who regularly “humiliates [his] senior team” and is running the administration “like a bad family owned small business.” One presentation quotes the president’s statement that infrastructure should be “easy” and follows it with a rhetorical eye-roll: “Really?????”

At the same time, the presentations make clear that the industry group views Trump as a godsend for their agenda of rolling back environmental and labor regulations.

Here’s how Jeff Shoaf, the group’s longtime chief lobbyist in Washington and now chief operating officer, put it in a July 2017 PowerPoint, which appears to have been inadvertently posted on the website of the organization’s Texas chapter: [.....]

In reply to @ Redstate.org:

"Actual principled conservatives".....know Trump is a...."liberal, lifelong con artist with absolutely no mooring in any sort of principle or decency could be trusted to live up to the cult-like standards of his base. And we’re laughing our heads off."

1. there are maybe 1-2 actual principled conservative Republicans. No one at Redstate, including this writer is one of them.

2. its not the Trump base, its the Republican base, bigots and imbeciles carefully nurtured for 30 years to be angry, reprogrammable Foxbots.

More Trump Gun Betrayal: “Take The Guns First” by Susan Wright

How conflicted are Trump supporters and #Resistance members, right now?

[....] standing off to the side are actual, principled conservatives, who knew that a liberal, lifelong con artist with absolutely no mooring in any sort of principle or decency could be trusted to live up to the cult-like standards of his base.

And we’re laughing our heads off.

Trump Stuns Lawmakers With Calls for Gun Control

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR 42 minutes ago

In a televised meeting, President Trump embraced gun control measures long opposed by the N.R.A. and many Republicans.
“It would be so beautiful to have one bill that everyone could support,” Mr. Trump said. “It’s time that a president stepped up.”

[....] In a remarkable meeting, the president veered wildly from the N.R.A. playbook in front of giddy Democrats and stone-faced Republicans. He called for comprehensive gun control legislation that would expand background checks to weapons purchased at gun shows and on the internet, keep guns from mentally ill people, secure schools and restrict gun sales for some young adults. He even suggested a conversation on an assault weapons ban [....]
