President Donald Trump has decided to delay signing a new executive order to replace the order to suspend the refugee program and bar travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries, according to reports from CNN and Politico late Tuesday night.
The President was initially scheduled to sign the new executive action on Wednesday, but the administration decided to postpone the signing so that the order would come down during a new news cycle, according to the reports.
An unnamed senior administration official told CNN that Trump delayed the plans so the new order would have its own “moment.” Politico also reported that the delay was due to a busy news cycle and that the White House wanted the new order to get plenty of news coverage, citing an unnamed senior official.
Then they are screwed.
I don’t know if he has redefined the news cycle, but considering how the administration created this problem with the initial ban, its going to be hard to find a fresh cycle to reintroduce it.
oh well…
From Der Spiegel’s remarkable article on Alex Jones:
It’s afternoon, and Jones is walking through the studio, his adrenaline level high and his blood sugar low. He needs to get something to eat. Platters of BBQ - chicken, beef and sausages - are set out on a table in the conference room. “Good barbecue,” says Jones. “You tasted it already?”
He piles up food onto a plastic plate, and then he suddenly takes off his shirt without explanation. With his bare torso, he sits there and shovels meat into his mouth, a caricature of manliness, but also a show of power to the reporter sitting in front of him. He can do as he pleases.
Then Jones gets up and holds out a sausage. “Wanna suck?” he asks.
I thought Trump signed the original Travel Ban because we were in a crisis situation, where we could be attacked at any moment. Now, we’re going to take our sweet time?
Because terrorists wait for new news cycles, too. And this is all about stopping terrorists.
You know that “My State of the Union Blockbuster!” might just replace “My Landslide Electoral Victory!!” as a his go-to public wank.
