Will all this speculation end in one week?

 WILL HE OR WON'T HE, CAN BECOME HE DID OR HE DIDN'T

THE REAL DEALING WILL NOW BEGIN

It is now one week until the inauguration and the presidency of Donald Trump will begin. All the speculation can soon end, we can expect a whirlwind of news out of Washington. Then we can shift to second guessing and condemnations about Trump's actions.

We can expect on day one that Trump will sign executive orders reversing every executive order that is reversible, signed by Joe Biden. It is becoming an American tradition. 

We can expect the firing of all the Federal attorneys appointed under Biden, again another new American custom.

We can also expect the introduction of a lot of legislation. 

There will be a marked difference between the first and second Trump terms that in term # 1 Trump had no idea who he would nominate or appoint to key positions. He hoped that the ex military generals were all patriotic picks that would help him move the country in a new direction. The reality was they were just more bureaucrats who felt their role was to move the President in the direction chosen by the bureaucracy. He now knows many of the real players in Washington and the direction they want to push him into going.

Hopefully a new war will not break out in the next week.

We should expect the border will be number one priority, it had better be, or Trump will get lots of criticism from his supporters.

Kellogg is talking about 100 days for a resolution of the Ukraine conflict, at the rate of Russian advance, that conflict will be very ripe for a resolution in that time.

The middle east is the most nasty problem, very complicated, but there are indications that Iran may be ready to move in a new direction and Israel has realized that destroying Iran is not likely to happen. An end to the Ukraine conflict could add cooperation from Russia and China in bringing about a solution to this long lasting crisis. There is still hope that a new administration can get many to move to a better place.

Russia and China can be expected to be around for a long time and cooperation and coexistence will be the only real choice in avoiding a disaster for everyone, hopefully Trump understands this reality.

All the talk of tariffs on much of the world is likely just a basis for new negotiations, with much of the world. A tariff war will only end badly for everyone.

The FBI and CIA need a rebranding, the FBI needs to focus on investigations in interstate matters and the CIA should be an intelligence gathering agency rather than a unregulated military organization. 

Greenland and Panama is again a negotiating beginning that some changes in the existing order can be had, but in a peaceful negotiated cooperative way.

So, in one week we can end all the speculation and then criticize or praise the real actions, I expect there will plenty of both.
