    The leftness is always saying Trump hasn't done anything. Trumps not doing nothing. Yet Trumps habits are forcing everyone in DC to do things differently. Imagine that. At least Politico has picked up on it. What say ye?




    Does President Donald Trump sometimes call in with his reactions to what he reads in Playbook? Anna Palmer and Jake Sherman, who are up at 4 a.m. every morning putting it together through red-eyed G-chats, won’t quite say.

    With American politics feeling like an hourly lurch between existential crisis and unprecedented news, they’re now producing Playbook twice a day—and they could probably fill an evening edition if they really had to.

    Already, they’re seeing noticeable changes to the Washington ecosystem, and not just because this president seems to want to talk to rank-and-file members of his party in Congress, in a big change from Barack Obama.

    That’s meant cable news programs camping out on Capitol Hill, members of Congress cramming to get on camera, regardless of dubious presidential tweets like the one on Wednesday morning, “The W.H. is functioning perfectly, focused on HealthCare, Tax Cuts/Reform & many other things. I have very little time for watching T.V.”

    “We’ve heard countless stories about members of Congress saying they’ve walked into the White House and the president is like, ‘Good job on CNN, MSNBC, whatever,’” Sherman said, when I asked him for the latest episode of POLITICO’s Off Message podcast what people aren’t seeing about how Trump does business. Trump “watches a lot of cable, clearly—or else he wouldn’t know that. So daytime cable is like the main event now.”

    “You have the rank and file and then Congressman X from nowhere is often asked to the White House to talk about whatever he was talking about,” Palmer said....snip~

    Oh, so the non politician is changing things up for the establishment. This must be getting under those establishment Repubs game plan, huh? Must be why the Never Trumpers are all in a tizzy. Unable to conduct business like they normally do..

    Trump began to fight Deep State and Swamp, he is like Gorbachev in USSR.
    Unfortunately this country needs a hundred trumps to drain completely the Swamp.
