Donald Trump Big Apple Inaugural Ball
1/5/2017 1:00 AM PST


Donald Trump will host a series of inaugural balls and we've learned one of them is all about his home ... New York City.

 

Sources involved in the planning tell TMZ, Trump's pet project is the Big Apple Ball, which will be festooned with every NYC icon. There will be huge cutouts of the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, and on and on. As one source put it, "Every cliche that is New York will be front and center."

 

And Trump will use a line from a famous Frank Sinatra song as a central theme ... "If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere."

 

And speaking of New York City ... we're told Tump will be flying back and forth from D.C. to NYC. One source said the commute for him will be shorter than the commute most people have when they go from home to work in the D.C. area during rush hour. We're told, "He can leave the Oval, drive to National [Airport], fly to LaGuardia, drive to Trump Tower and take the elevator to his penthouse in an hour."

 

And, we're told, going back and forth is not just about the fact that Melania and Barron will stay in NYC for at least 6 months. He still feels it's his home.

Seems like a nightmare... Like he didn't really want the commitments that come with being the President e.g. living at the White House. Was running for president more about winning for him?

Bye bye Sasha Black Mamba

With the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the U.S. had tremendous power to shape international security developments. But this opportunity was squandered, under both Republican and Democratic presidencies, as they embraced unrealistic, even utopian, foreign policy agendas. 

 

Both George W. Bush and Barack Obama aspired to transplant the American model around the world, toppling governments if necessary. The problem is, rather than birthing democratic regimes, this approach created failed states and vast areas of lawlessness which have become primary sources of international and regional insecurity. And because this utopian approach ignored that other world powers never bought into an imagined new world order, it has also amped-up tension between the U.S. and Russia and contributed to far-from-cooperative relations with China.

 

This clearly isn’t working.  But, having won on a promise of fundamental change, President-elect Trump has an opportunity to dramatically shift the underlying assumptions that have guided two decades of foreign policy. If Trump is serious in his desire to restore American international power, there are some clear lessons that his administration must embrace.

Pretty much.  My thoughts are that the next four years are going to be interesting times.  First time in a long time there's been a Republican Congress (both houses) and a Republican President.  And much of the incumbents were re-elected. I'm curious as to how well the president-elect is going to handle being told no by congress.
