The Swamp Fights Back W Lawrence Lipton

In the second 56-Day cycle, America attacked itself and showed its deep-felt desire to undermined its own institutions.
In the third cycle, what changed?

The third 56-days of Trump's Administration continued the calls to "DUMP TRUMP" and connect him to some nefarious Russian election hacking scheme. It was a period which saw Europe and Russia shaking from a ransomware attack utilizing a software flaw apparently known to the NSA, who appear to have weaponized it in a way that facilitated the attack attributed to a North Korean malware hacker group.
In this cycle, we see China returning to its ancient mercantile roots and President Xi Jinping urging nations to join his new Belt and Road Initiative which promotes the desire for global economic growth Trump has championed in the USA. China's program will build a trillion-dollar modern new Silk Road with a transportation trifecta of seaports, roads, and rail links connecting all the Old World nations which once comprised the ancient Silk Road.
After a 150 years of a British-induced drugged slumber, the mercantile "sleeping dragon" has awakened to reclaim its old habitat, and nations, from Asia and across Europe, wish to participant.

In that environment, Trump kept his promise to abandon TPP, and China had seen the wisdom behind that move, while Trump saw the wisdom of reinvigorating the Silk Road with America adding a new transoceanic branch.
Reconcile the flip-flop: attacks on China; an infamous 2012 Tweet, "global warming ...created by... the Chinese in order to make U. S. manufacturing non- competitive."
In Chapter 4, reconciled with laughter. Once you "get it", you'll marvel at his salesmanship skills and possibly, in 2018, decide to give him the tools he needs to "Drain the Swamp", , or Turn the Stampeding Herd.
Before you dismiss the idea of reading the book, consider that it is written by a lifelong Democrat and former Democratic County Chairman who, in 2016, supported the candidacy of Senator Bernie Sanders. Then too, he knew Trump when Donald first sought to enter the Manhattan Real Estate market, and the author could honestly state he could walk along Fifth Avenue, from 40th street to 50th Street, and recite his firm's pet mantra: "If we don't own it, we manage it; if we don't manage it, we have the mortgage on it; if we don't have the mortgage, we were the lawyers on the deal."

To American media, POTUS-45 is an idiot to be replaced by alt-Right idol, "POTUS-46" Mike Pence. But, Trump ignores continued attacks and investigations, and focuses on doing the job while distracting the idiots. He deals with Saudi Arabia and Russia - who rein in the global crude glut and try to push up gasoline prices with cuts going into March 2018.
In Week-18, Trump became the First POTUS to visit three major Religious States, Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the Vatican. In so doing, a branch of Israel's Orthodox media hailed the prophetic nature of his visit, and invoked elements covered in the 2014 book, "Biblical Prophecy: Are we in the Revelation Era".
Trump arrived at the NATO Summit in Brussels, dismissed it as a relic of the Cold War, and decided NATO could be re-tasked to a meaningful use in The War on Terrorism. And with his visit, he opened the opportunity to visit the true costs to America which both Clinton and Trump had branded excessive.
Upon visiting the costs, it became self-evident that America is paying far more than the NATO agreement standard, and that the majority of the NATO members are, as Trump charged, taking advantage of the American taxpayer. Moreover, the numbers reveal that the excess funds would more than cover the costs associated with the Affordable Care Act which the Freedom Caucus so dearly wishes to terminate.
