LEAKER IN CHIEF

Wake up, USA!

The people of the USA are being played.  Yes, that is US.
We are being played by Donald J. Trump, he the reluctant(?) occupant of the "Real Dump" on the sunny shores of the Potomac.

He of the well remembered "I alone can fix it" boast included in the speech at the Republican Convention.
He who speaks of the Republican controlled legislative branch as "THEY."
He who threatens to punish the states represented by legislators who oppose his point of view with economic sanctions.
He who tells the people that they are being cheated out of the leadership of their choosing.  (West Virginia rally, August 3, 2017- from a teleprompter, no less.)
He who denigrates (seemingly) members of his own cabinet.
He who incessantly names the Media as the enemy of the government.
He who incessantly accuses the Intelligence and Security offices of the country with the leaking of sensitive information.
He who is so diligent about maintaining the flow of executive Orders is incapable of negotiating the passage of one single result of the legislative process.  YES not one, despite the fact that every co-equal branch of the USA government is controlled by the party to which he nominally belongs.
He, the "Dealer in Chief" has yet to produce the results of ONE single DEAL.

Why?

Because he is not a deal maker.  He is not.  Remember, deals are bi-lateral agreements.  Donald J. Trump is not a bi-laterally oriented give-and-take person.  Donald Trump is nothing but a zero-sum taker.  Donald Trump is, by his own admission, an "I win, you lose" human being.  The only good deal that Donald Trump has ever seen is the last one that he has signed.  One that describes him as the winner and the other side as the loser.  Every other agreement that exists and in which he did not participate is the "worst deal I have ever seen."

So, the "deal" now is the process of governing in the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.  The reality here is the governing process that is spread out over several elements.  These constitute a reality that is sometimes called the "Great American Experiment.  The body politic here consists, among others, of a) the People; b) the Local Municipal Government; c) the State Government; d)the Federal Government, each and collectively organized around an Executive, a Legislative and a Judicial branch.  All of this give and take structure goes against Donald Trump's nature.  This chart goes beyond the managerial (governing) ability of Donald Trump.  Trump is not a governer, he is a commander who either wins or loses.  He does not live in a give and take world composed of varying degrees of success.  He either wins and goes on or takes revenge.  Losing is not an option...I take that back, compromise is not an option.

Therefore the conclusion to be drawn from the above is that what we have been seeing, and continue to see, is the preparation of the declaration that from this moment the commander in chief is the de facto leader of the country to the exclusion of all the "Deep State Leakers" who have but one goal, to undermine the authority of Donald Trump.  The hunt for the leakers need go no further than the West Wing itself.  The "leaks" are the foils that the Donald is using to prepare the way for the great announcement that the security of the country can only be assured by vesting the Commander in Chief with the authority and the power to "govern" and thereby "Make America Great Again."

Yes, fellow citizens, I have seen it happen elsewhere.  Do not close your eyes to the actions of Donald Trump and his minions.  Be wary; stay ready.  Follow the leaks...they all come from the same swamp.
