When Comey was fired, and I observed the ensuing media freak out, I wondered what the act of firing Comey was supposed to distract the media from; in other words, what is Trump REALLY doing?
Today, I read this article:
http://thehill.com/homenews/administrat ... -jobs-push
Contained within, was this quote:
"The White House has been quietly gutting Obama-era employment regulations, targeting everything from overtime laws to federal contract bidding."
Followed by this quote:
"...Trump cannot completely escape the controversy surrounding his firing of Comey..."
Well, then... one kind of has to wonder if that's not by design. If not for Comey, Russia, and other shiney and distracting little hot buttons, I would think that the Media would be ALL OVER the "dismantling of Obama Era regulations", of any sort.
I expect more loud and distracting "Nothings", in the future. This seems to be how Trump gets things done. Give the Media a fake scandal, while they obsess over that, quietly do something productive.
Incidentally, that's a little trick that I generally associate with parenting, not governing. You know, give the kids something that will distract them, and get them out of your hair for 15 minutes, so that you can get the door back on it's hinges, or whatever.
