After much speculation the formal role of Kellyanne Conway is announced.  It appears President Trump will be utilizing Ms. Conway’s vast advocacy experience to leverage/lobby congress internally on behalf of the Trump agenda...

(Palm Beach, FL) — President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his selection of Kellyanne Conway to serve as Counselor to the President. Conway has been serving as a senior member of the President-elect’s transition team and previously served as the campaign manager of his successful run for the presidency.

As you review this CNN article it is CRITICAL to remember there are two divergent U.S. economies: a Wall Street economy, and a Main Street economy.  The DC UniParty Politicians, the Globalists and the MSM will instantaneously conflate the two.   Stay sharp.
The direct target of the tariff approach is the enhancement of the Main Street economy.  Due to the global nature of Wall Street this immediately puts their financial relationship, their economic risk, in the same place as the risk for foreign countries which would be subjected to the economic leveling of the trade equation.
Again, stay intellectually sharp – this is where we are going to have to fight “the big club“. Understanding how their “trillions of dollars at stake” are placed within the equation is a critical aspect to understanding how the UniParty will attack.

Washington (CNN) – The Trump transition team is floating the possibility of an early executive action to impose tariffs on foreign imports, according to multiple sources.
Such a move would deliver on President-elect Donald Trump’s “America First” campaign theme. But it’s causing alarm among business interests and the pro-trade Republican establishment. (more…)

A rather funny article today in Politico outlines a fear of Trump’s coalition amid congressional republicans.

The article is sympathetic to the GOPe wing of the DC UniParty from a perspective of those nasty Trumpers, ie. “the posse“; and includes South Carolina Rep Mark Sanford as a testimonial of their fear:

[…]  “Nobody wants to go first,” said Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), who received nasty phone calls, letters and tweets after he penned an August op-ed in The New York Times, calling on Trump to release his tax returns. “People are naturally reticent to be the first out of the block for fear of Sean Hannity, for fear of Breitbart, for fear of local folks.”

O.M.G…  The Horror!   Can you possibly imagine the audacity of the voters to actually express an opinion toward the professional political class?  Just who do these plebes think they are? (more…)

Ok, I admit.. this “winning” is almost way too much fun.  A few hours ago, key defense contractors and their government agency counterparts assembled for the first time with President-elect Donald Trump.
It cannot be overstated how fundamentally different this is for all parties involved. For the first time in their history, both sides are facing a President-elect without a single IOU on his desk from their large networked lobbying groups.  For them, both sides, the concept of prudent financial interest is at the forefront of the discussion.

For the first time in modern history the proverbial governmental trough has a gatekeeper…. His name is Donald J Trump.  Just pause for a moment and think about the scope of their collective new reality.
Better still, imagine yourself as a white hat inside the acquisition program and assigned to deliver the best “bidding process”,  and now you actually have Donald Trump on your side of the negotiation table.
OK, now smile, read and watch: (more…)

Titans !  Wolverines + Titans = Awesome !

The jaw-droppingly qualified “America First” Main Street economics team continues to be brilliantly assembled.  It is now transparently obvious that Donald Trump has a very specific strategy to navigate the mine field created by three decades of Main Street erosion.
President-elect Donald Trump, announced Wednesday the head of the newly created White House National Trade Council: Peter Navarro, an economist who supports a hardline approach toward relations with China.  Trump also named business mogul Carl Icahn a special adviser to the President on regulatory reform.

“I read one of Peter’s books on America’s trade problems years ago and was impressed by the clarity of his arguments and thoroughness of his research,” Trump said in a statement, possibly referring to Navarro’s 2011 book “Death By China.”

During the height of the 2016 presidential election a church in Mississippi was burned and the wording “Vote Trump” was painted on the outside of the building.

“The animus of this election cycle combined with the potent racial history of burning black churches as a political symbol makes this event something we must not ignore”.

The media sold the narrative of ‘Trump supporter hate’ as the origin of the crime.  Today, it is revealed the arson was a politically motivated manufactured hate crime.

MISSISSIPPI – An arrest has been made in the Greenville church burning.
Andrew McClinton, 45, of Leland, was arrested Wednesday for setting Hopewell Baptist Church on fire and scrawling “Vote Trump” on the side in spray paint, according to Warren Strain with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. McClinton has been charged with one count of first degree arson of a place of worship, Strain said.

The manhunt continues in Germany for the Berlin ISIS terrorist.  Meanwhile President-elect Donald Trump convenes a meeting with his top national security team at his Mar-a-Lago estate and appears briefly for reporter questions.

(Via AP Report) — Donald Trump says the truck ramming attack at market in Berlin is an “attack on humanity and it’s got to be stopped.”
The president-elect made the comments in brief remarks to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida following a top-secret security briefing. He said the violence in Germany validates his assessment of Islamic-inspired threats. (more…)

Changing perceptions on modern political economics is perhaps the second most important paradigm shift in 2016 political understanding.  The most important cognitive shift being the professional political class’s use of “the splitter strategy”, and/or professional manipulative intents to elevate two UniParty candidates (Bush and Clinton).

The UniParty was successful with defeating Bernie Sanders; however, the UniParty failed in defeating Donald Trump.  The Sanders Team only discovered the scope of the professional DNC betrayal after the primary was over.  The Trump Team succeeded because they were a more ‘in-tune’ audience – with more cynical experiences gained from six previous years of transparent RNC betrayal.
The UniParty political fraud also applies to our political economy. However, just like the election, understanding the deception in modern economics means understanding previous false and promoted assumptions.

Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway announced earlier today that her family would be moving to Washington DC in order to “play a supportive role” for the Trump administration.
Below is an interview with radio talk show host Laura Ingraham that followed later in the day.
At the 11:57 point in the audio recording, Conway appears to let something slip.

Interesting interview with Nigel Farage today (full audio below) covering a variety of topics.  Farage begins with the topic of the latest terrorist attack in Berlin, and the larger EU issues.   MP Farage lays the blame for the originating political policies squarely at the feet of the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
Farage also speaks about the ongoing relationship between himself and President Donald Trump, and the anxiety within the British professional political class about Trump and Farage maintaining a close relationship.  {{snicker}}
