"Everything's Going My Way"

Mr. Trump and his supporters must be singing “Everything's Going My Way” this week.  That seems to be the only way anything and everything can go these days—Mr. Trump’s way.  “"Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening.”

The Supreme Court voted in favor of allowing Trump to proceed (to some degree) with his “Wall” using money from the Pentagon budget (as per his State of Emergency several months ago).  All the Republican-appointed judges voted in favor; all the Democratic-appointed judges dissented with the exception of one.

On Wednesday, following Mr. Mueller’s testimony before the congressional committees Trump had this to say:  "It was a very big day for our country, it was a very big day for the Republican Party and you could say it was a great day for me.:  Yep, everything seems to be going Mr. Trump’s way, with a few exceptions.

One of those exceptions was the Fox News poll which showed him losing in 2020 by 10 points to Joe Biden.  Trump’s “Proud Warriors” at Fox were immediately chastised:  “@FoxNews is at it again. So different from what they used to be during the 2016 Primaries, & before - Proud Warriors! Now new Fox Polls, which have always been terrible to me (they had me losing BIG to Crooked Hillary), have me down to Sleepy Joe.”  You can stop watching Fox News now—they, too, represent fake news!

Another exception was Mueller’s clear confirmation of Russian interference in the 2016 election—and I might add the conclusion of every U.S. Intelligence Agency in 2016—which every agency continues to affirm to this day.   Since that kind of conclusion does not jive with Mr. Trump’s delusional way—he continues to say:  "This was a fake witch hunt and it should never be allowed to happen to another president again. This was treason. This was high crimes. This was everything -- as bad a definition as you want to come up with.” And he continues to claim, in spite all known evidence that the investigation was not only treasonous, but also an attempted coup:  “This was an illegal takeover,” he said, “…this was a coup attempt, in my opinion. And this is the United States.”

Yes, Mr. Trump, “this is the United States.” It is a democracy where “my” way and “your way,” is not The Way!  But, I suppose if we take your advice and we don’t believe what we see and ignore what we see and what we’re reading (because it is not really what is happening) and "stick with" you, everything will continue to go your way—even though delusional!
