Why does Air Force One have trouble getting off the ground? It only has a right wing. The Pilot says it doesn’t need the left wing to fly so it just taxis around without going anywhere.

The Pilot keep revving the engines, playing on social media, and yelling at the passengers and other pilots. The co-pilot sits in the lounge waiting for the pilot’s seat to become empty to he can try flying by himself.

Some of the passengers think the pilot has a good flight plan while two-thirds want a new crew. The flight crew is doing their own thing without any direction from the Pilot. They just manage to confuse and agitate the passengers even more.

The supervisor in the control tower has required the controllers to wear eye patches on their left eyes so they keep telling the Pilot to turn right. Unless the controllers allow for a left turn, the plane will just keep rolling around on the east side taxi strip.

No wonder all but one other Pilot keeps well clear as they fly off to save their own passengers. What a way to run an airline!

Donald Trump campaigned on going to Washington to “Drain the Swamp”. After becoming President he has created an even larger and smellier swamp on his own. His business and his enormous ego are now entwined with the Presidency. In business he had allowed the ego to come forward as a showboat and grandstander. In business he was the face of a real estate company where his direction and decision didn’t require approval by anyone else. Today he does executive orders that are mostly meaningless without congress’ approval.

He says he has turned over his company’s operation to his son and a company officer but he meets quietly with them on a regular basis at company properties. His promotes his properties by his weekend visits to Florida, New Jersey, Scotland, and New York City. His Florida Gold Club has filled it’s $500,000 plus membership. Russians and others have bought condos in the NYC Tower where wife and son live. Before the election many floors were empty. The D. C. hotel was losing money until November when foreign countries took long term bookings on rooms and started doing galas and meetings in Ballrooms.

His family is no slouch in using the White House prestige to promote their own companies. His daughter’s fashion business continues to expand as she continues to push its products. His son-in-law’s sister went to China to sell green cards before Trump signed the bill extending the law he had said was wrong. Her first sales meetings were just afterward.

Many of the people he has nominated are billionaires and multi-multi-millionaires who now have influence over people who oversee their businesses.

The odor of the new swamp covers up the fragrance of the old swamp.
