Rumour has it — rumour being the lingua franca in Washington these days — that the dumping of White House communications director Mike Dubke is the first step in a White House re-organisation. The goal is to elevate the administration’s accomplishments, which the president believes, and rightly so, are being smothered in their cribs by a hostile media. Against this relentless opposition, on Wednesday morning the president deployed a tweet about his agenda: "Hopefully Republican Senators, good people all, can quickly get together and pass a new (repeal & replace) HEALTHCARE bill. Add saved $’s." The Trump presidency is on three parallel tracks: the Trump tweet track, the Trump-Russia track and the Trump policy track. What lies beyond the horizon is either a successful presidency or a train wreck. As always, the choice of which track is in the hands of Engineer Trump.
