Other - catastrophic Okay Other - no, the fake news - Fox, Brietbart, and other alt-right propaganda outlets - will continue, as they have been, to spin his failures as successes. Dollars to donuts within a week, the ‘other’ option will be removed, like it was in his last push poll. ---

Trump was allowed to build a helipad at Mar a Lago for government purposes. [Surprise](http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/local/who-using-trump-helicopter-sitting-mar-lago-helipad/QbYAt9nQANvEEJ6VcjtEjJ/). It’s being used for private purposes. Remember when this minor Trump scandal would have been a major presidential scandal? ---

For a while now, it’s bugged me that pretty much every single Trump Tweet ends with an exclamation and/or ALL CAPS. For example (from Trump’s last ten tweets, in order from the most recent): > [@](#): > > Much work to be done, but it will be a great New Year! > [@](#): > > TIME FOR CHANGE! > [@](#): > > No more! > [@](#): > > We are MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and much faster than anyone thought possible! > [@](#): > > 2018 will be a great year for America! > [@](#): > > Not good! > [@](#): > > Together, we are MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Happy New Year!! > [@](#): > > We love our police and law enforcement - God Bless them all! #LESM > [@](#): > > People are much better off now not to mention ISIS, VA, Judges, Strong Border, 2nd A, Tax Cuts & more? (hey, for once a question mark!) > [@](#): > > Now they have a great future - and just beginning! The next ten are pretty much the same. It’s like an old deaf guy shouting because he can’t hear himself. Sheesh. ---

Trump is claiming credit for the most recent year’s historically safe commercial aviation record. Nobody can figure out what he did to make things safer.

Which, to be fair, was probably the right course of action. He could’ve purged the FAA of Democrats or something. \*Correct me if I’m wrong, by all means! > **[Barack Obama's legacy: Improving airline safety around the world](https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2018/01/barack-obamas-legacy-improving-airline-safety-around-the-world/)** > >   ---

If I was in a plane, and knew Trump was on the ground, it would provide a very strong incentive to stay up in the air. Snarky Response #2: Am I reading this wrong, or is Trump admitting that government regulation can play a wildly successful role in making private industry safer? ---

Given the public fellatings his cabinet members and others have offered, one can only imagine the kind of gushing praise on all sorts of things he gets in private. ---

One of two things, and I don’t know which one is scarier. This aviation safety tweet is either Trump out and out stating that he is fully aware that his base will believe any ridiculous thing he says - “Watch, I’ll tell them I fixed air travel” - OR … Trump truly believes that just because he is in office everybody just snaps into shape and starts flying planes better at the sheer force of his being. ---
