I was reading another blog yesterday and within the writing was an interesting thought. Picking up on Sundance’s USA aircraft carrier analogy what if we knew that the present Admiral and the ship’s captain had the carrier on a course that would take it into a class 5 plus hurricane. The crew didn’t know they danger they were in but the ships executive office (XO) did and was trying to get the Admiral to change course. The ships Captain a loyalist to the Admiral was bucking to be promoted to Admiral as the present Admiral was about to retire. The ship’s captain an aggressive female would be the first naval Admiral in change of a fleet and so she was ignoring the hurricane danger as to bring it up would embarrass the present Admiral. So the XO was faced with conducting a mutiny to save the ship or letting the ship stay on course and let the captain deal with the potential loss. The quandary would be that if the mutiny happened after it was too late to change course he would be blamed for the loss — so what should he do.
Trump is now in the same position as the XO I just described we are headed for some really rough times and if he cannot communicate the issues properly like say Churchill did as Briton was entering WW II he would be faced with being blamed for the financial collapse that appears to be building. Just like Bush was blamed for the housing and market collapse in 2008 even though neither were his fault.
