Online Public Relations Thoughts

It was petty PR for Trump to change the name.  It has turned into a petty fight between Mexico and Google over Google's compliance with Trump.  There are more pressing issues than the name of the gulf.

Ukraine and its people are pawns in the negotiations between Russia and the US.  Their four years of self-defense mean nothing to Putin and Trump.  Putin has seduced Trump and will get what he wants.  It's a sad time for the Ukrainian people.  

President Trump said he could cut inflation the first day he was in office.  What now?  He has changed his tune recently and it looks like he will again and again.  Will voters remember?  

The vice president is attacking federal judges for stopping some of President Trump's executive orders.  His thesis?  They are violating the separation of powers in the constitution.  Left unsaid is the fact that Trump is violating the law in several of his actions.  It leads to a frequently made point.  The person with a megaphone can often carry the day.  If shouting can bend the will of judges, there is no bar to an authoritarian government.  That indeed would be scary. 

It is sad and worrisome that an organization such as this is caught in the USAID shutdown. Catholic Relief Services has an 80-year history of  feeding, clothing and sheltering the poor and refugees.  Who is left to help the needy around the world?  Like it or not, the US is still the richest country and has a moral obligation to help those who have little or nothing.

Poll numbers are dropping sharply for Elon Musk as he pursues a radical government make-over, and they are dipping as well for Trump.  As voters awaken to what they did will buyer's remorse set in?
