Much has been written about the Trump administration and will not be repeated here. Instead Rooster Today is focused on tracking the progress of what has been proposed, threatened, and accomplished. Threats, hyperbole, lies, bullying and outrageous insults are all a big part of Trump’s behavior set and for that reason only, they are important to track. In order to keep the country off balance — threats are hurled, withdrawn, re-introduced with the intent of keeping all of us in a daily, constant state of chaos and confusion.

Bannon was reported to be the voice that encourages Trump to follow through on his cruelest and most hateful campaign promises made to Trump’s 40% base of loyal voters. Stephen Miller has proved to be even more cruel.
This 40+% voter base is apparently committed to Trump regardless of anything he says, doesn’t say, does or doesn’t do.
