In reading the responses about “the emissary” post, I am reminded why our nation is in this mess, and the scale of trying to get people to fathom the depth of our national problems.

If you are one of the few voices who comprehend who and what an “emissary” is, as well as how they are needed, then you will understand why any further posts of mine on the 2025 topic are going to be password protected.

Head’s up.  In order for the comment section to be of value to me, it needs to be an intellectual discussion by smart people who understand politics.  I am going to apply the password for all future threads on the 2025 topic and then I can more effectively use the blacklist banner for the govt-aligned voices who try to hijack and steer the conversation.

My thoughts and advice on the subject matter are the result of thousands and thousands of hours work, specifically categorizing every granular issue in DC and how it functions amid a corrupt and weaponized silo system.  I don’t pretend.

95% of the opinion you are reading about presidential positions, qualifications and expectations are based on people who hold pretenses, intentionally or, in many cases, accidentally, because they just don’t know better.   Some people think DC corruption is really, really bad. Trust me, it’s worse than that.

My thoughts on staffing, roles and responsibilities are from a pragmatic place of what can reasonably be expected to be achieved.  CTH has never joined this nonsensical “trusty-planner” mindset.  There is no plan.  There never was a plan.  There is one guy, Donald Trump, trying to enact policies to the benefit of the American people.  Every democrat and every republican want him to fail.

“It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.” ― Niccolò Machiavelli

On the Melania topic. Those who have been paying close attention, very close attention, will note you should not expect to see as much of Mrs Trump in the second term. By all outward appearances she’s done with American politics and keeping Barron out of that life is her priority.  Melania Trump will fulfill the role of First Lady, and she will do it better than any other, but that’s it.

I suspect in 2025 and beyond, official duties and responsibilities is where the schedule ends for First Lady Melania Trump.  She showed up to the RNC Convention and carried out that same role/responsibility.  Melania kept Baron away from the convention for the same purpose. She’ll continue the same standard after President Trump wins in November.

Donald Trump Jr loves American politics and will joyfully bring his family and children into it.  This puts Melania and DJT Jr at opposite ends of the issue.  Remember that.  DJT Jr has aspirations. Also, remember that.

The next “2025-Term 2” post will hit on the very important role of the National Security Advisor (NSA).  That post will be password protected because the comments section needs to be intellectual discussion about the ramifications of the presentation.   [Yes, when you see the scale of the problem you are part of the very select 3% group and you prepare your life accordingly.]

The NSA position is critical.  The Intelligence Community will lie to President Trump.

The Nat Sec Advisor intercepts the lies, evaluates the issue to find the small granules of truth; then presents truthful options to President Trump.  The Nat Sec advisor must know the silo system like the back of his hand.  He must know every detail about how it operates, and he must be willing to fight against the AG, DoS, FBI and CIA.

The NatSec Advisor must be strategic, smart and have EXCEPTIONAL judgement.  It would also be beneficial if the The NatSec Advisor had an external compartmented financial resource system – meaning, he was (real world) independently wealthy of DC and ambivalent to the financial interests of the MAGA grifting community.

The NatSec Advisor needs as few attack vectors as possible.  If the NSA is vulnerable, he’s useless.

The traits of impenetrable judgement, stability, brutal honesty and understanding, disqualify names like Patel, Bannon, Flynn, Navarro et al and 95% of the people previously presented.   Now you see the problem.  Michael Flynn and Kash Patel might be good on the National Security Council, which is headed by the NatSec Advisor, but in the primary role, no way; too risky.  more later…

I am going to start giving honest examples of recent history and reminders of human-trait issues that will make people uncomfortable.  I don’t care. The truth is ambivalent about feelings.   We need results.
