In the finance field.....I ALWAYS look for "
things that don't make sense." Whether it is at work...or looking at investments.....I always look for things that don't seem quite right.
It is part of the "roach theory". Where there is one roach....there are MANY.
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/donald-trump-michigan-recount-blocked-232076If I'm Donald Trump......and I DIDN'T think there were likely to be any significant errors....the one thing I DON'T DO is to try to stop a recount. Why? Because a recount...if there weren't any errors...gives me MORE STATURE. It "proves" that I won. So this band of people who thought that Trump actually "stole" the election....were wrong. And after a recount they would likely be quieted some and life could go on.
But here he is.....trying to STOP the recount. THAT.....raises a red flag to me. It doesn't mean that something "nefarious" is going on....but it raises a red flag.
I still don't think a recount in all 3 states will come out in Clinton's favor. Wisconsin is the closest....so it wouldn't surprise me if it "flipped". But for all 3 to flip would be like the odds of winning the jackpot.
Trump is off to a horrible start. A gracious winner? NO. Continuing to lie? YES.
The fact that he is surrounding himself with "the swamp" doesn't bode well either. Especially since they are "inadequate and ill equipped swamp" in many cases.
As some of you know...I'm a big "Duck fan". And when Oregon announced that Marc Helfreich would "take over the reigns" as head coach 4 years ago.....I was disappointed. I didn't think he had "the right stuff" to be able to recruit good players AND good coaches. And sure enough.....year by year....the football program deteriorated as he wasn't able to recruit good people (either coaches OR players). Helfreich was fired (impeached
) this week...and Oregon now looks for the coach they should have had in the first place.
THAT....is the same issue that Trump is going to suffer from. He is ill equipped to take over from the beginning....
AND....he isn't able to recruit good folks for his cabinet. He has...and will continue to hire.......mostly ill equipped folks. I hope for our sake...he hires Bob Corker for Sec of State. I don't agree with a lot of what Corker stands for...and he WILL be a yes man for Trump. But at least he has some intelligence....AND....he also has limitations to his "yes man" status (he will only be pushed SO FAR).
The next year will be fascinating. And Trump is likely headed for trouble.
