This is actually typical Trump, he impulsively suggests a ‘feel good’ measure, but then reconsiders after trusted experts weigh in. It is not, as the Pilot spins it, a political consideration. He simply has the flexibility to change his mind when presented with good advice.

End of comments at Pilot Site

So, there will be no comments at the Pilot. This blog was opened to provide an alternate forum, now it seems it will be the only one.

All are welcome, read the rules before commenting.

My wife and I will be away for a few days beginning on the 19th, so I won’t be able to respond to Author status requests until the 22nd. John and Len should be able to help you.

But the marketplace has spoken, I will let this blog go dormant for a couple of weeks and if nothing changes, take it down.
