7. Bannon's Plan Was Chaos And Division Most of Trump's staff in the early days didn't really have titles or official positions, so Bannon set to work pushing forth his plan for the first 100 days. "Chaos was Steve's strategy," said deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh. His first victory came with Trump signing the controversial Muslim travel ban executive order. As Bannon anticipated, liberal media exploded, creating a wider rift between the left and the right. 1 Like |

6.Trump Repeats Himself a Lot And Also Repeats Himself If it sounds like Trump brings out the same talking points over and over again in public speeches, Wolff says it's even worse in person. When approached for the chief of staff position, Rience Priebus had been warned how by a Trump associate how to talk to the then president-elect. "In an hour meeting with him, you're going to hear 54 minutes of stories, and they're going to be the same stories over and over again. So you have to have one point to make, and you pepper it in whenever you can." 1 Like |

5. Trump Was Woefully Uninformed About Washington, DC When former Speaker of the House John Boehner was suggested as a solid candidate for chief of staff by longtime Trump friend Roger Ailes (also former head of Fox News and veteran of Nixon, Reagan and H.W. Bush administrations, so he has some idea how politics works), Trump allegedly responded, "Who's that?" Considering that Beohener was one of the most well-known members of the Republican Party and a very public rival to President Obama through much of his time in office, one would think Donald Trump would know who this guy is. 1 Like |

4. Trump Didn't Know the Constitution Early in the campaign, Trump aide Sam Nunberg was supposedly tasked with explaining the U.S. Constitution to the future president. "I got as far as the Four Amendment before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head," Nunberg told Wolff. 1 Like |

3. Trump Campaign Wanted to Lose to Win The plan all along was to lose, but to win by doing so, which would explain why Trump had little interest in personally investing in a losing cause. According to Wolff, Trump wanted to launch his own television network, while his cronies could reap their own rewards. Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner would be huge celebrities, Conway was looking to be on-air with cable news, and Bannon was poised to emerge as the new leader of the far-right Tea Party. Instead, they found themselves at the Oval Office with no idea what to do next. 1 Like |

2. Trump Refused to Invest in His Campaign Bannon and Kellyanne Conway were allegedly inserted into the Trump campaign at the behest of billionaire Robert Mercer, after infusing $5 million into the campaign. Right away, Bannon noted that Trump had not contributed to his own campaign. When he determined it needed $50 million to make it to election day, he had to settle for $10 million from Trump, provided he was repaid as soon as that money could be raised from others. It says a lot when a self-claimed multi-billionaire isn't willing to invest in his own campaign. 1 Like |

We might never find out what really is and what is not. All these are allegations, still. The book 'Fire and Fury' by Michael Wolff goes on sale Friday 05 Jan, fours days earlier than originally planned, probably to hedge against a lawsuit by the White House or ride the wave of demand. Here, copied are some of the allegations that would become the talking points on- and offline in the coming days: https://www.google.com.ng/amp/amp.toofab.com/2018/01/04/14-explosive-allegations-from-michael-wolffs-fire-and-fury-inside-the-trump-white-house 1. Wolff Was Accidentally Given Almost Unprecedented Access As a testament to how unstructured Trump and his organization was, Wolff was given extraordinary access to the inner workings almost by accident. When he asked about being allowed to linger and listen in for a book, Trump talked about right-wing author Ed Klein and didn't outright deny his request. "His non-disapproval became a kind of passport for me to hang around ... plunking myself down, day after day, on a West Wing couch," Wolff wrote in The Hollywood Reporter. 1 Like |
Programming / Re: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by cola: 11:59am On Jan 03, 2018 |
happyjaja: @happyjaja The best resources I've found for a beginner are these one here: http://inventwithpython.com/invent4thed/, http://inventwithpython.com/pygame You can read the book online for free. You can also choose to buy the hard-copy on amazon. It teaches Python in probably the most learner-friendly way. In fact, it teaches coding using several games as explained examples. I hope you find it helpful. 1 Like 1 Share |

Technology Market / Re: Have You Heard About MTN Mobile Electricity? by cola: 9:09am On Oct 06, 2017 |
Dam5reey: Some people have no scruples, no shame. Here you are, planning and advising people to steal from someone's else's legitimate business, and you you still lack enough decency to listen to a voice of reason. MTN is not forcing you or anybody to buy. This is essentially a hire-purchase scheme or an instalment mortgage-like scheme. If the payment and power plan suit you, sign up, if not, pass. Why plan to steal from the scheme? And you think and hope to make it in life from your own intellectual or business effort in the future? No, what goes round comes round. Some wayward bloke somewhere would also find faults with your business proposition and come up with a plan to steal it blind just like you are doing and in fact teaching others to do. Swallow your pride, take heed and correct your wrong. 3 Likes |

idupaul: PointB: Why is it that anytime the phrase 'fight corruption' appears in any headline esp coming from this administration, some folks get over excited and can't stop but type out an epistle to discredit the effort? Is it that the idea of fighting corruption - whether reducing it or killing it - touches a raw nerve or creates anxiety and worry for these folks? |

Ajibolaoluwa: @ajibolaoluwa Thank you for sharing. I have some questions please. I hope you are able to respond promptly and as detailed as possible: 1. Can you please explain how you (Ajibola) receive your payment from crowdsurfwork since paypal nigeria does not allow receiving fund? 2. Does crowdsurfwork require you to have paypal before they can pay you? 3. Can you simply withdraw funds from your email to a trusted third-party paypal account like a friend's or an ex-changer's? Thanks again, bro. |
