What A Naughty Little Fellow!

lblanchard tells me there's an app which converts all pictures of Donald Trump into pictures of kittens. This is excellent. But why not take the idea further- and whenever Trump crops up in our conversations or thoughts imagine him as a delightful little ginger kitten- and when he's doing something particularly destructive have him be playing with a ball of wool and getting his mischievous little legs all tangled up?

wish that was good enough

but he's already had his minions
deleting pages from the website

all to save money
for himself and friends
who already have too much.

Actually, the entire whitehouse.gov site, Obama version, was archived by the outgoing administration on the way out the door and (I suspect) the Trump transition team hadn't focused on the need to have something ready to roll until quite late in the game. The entire site was pretty skeletal, except for some of his major campaign platforms and what I suspect to have been the same old same old bios from the Trump organization.

Edited to add: see https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/ --the Obama administration's White House site is now part of the National Archives.

So- to be accurate- the Obama crew wiped the website and the Trump crew had to throw their replacement together in a hurry...

Which shows how organised Trump and his team are. They should have known that they needed a new website ready to roll out at the point of the transition, but even though producing a professional looking website should only take a matter of days, they hadn't got their act together to have more than a skeleton site ready.

Apparently this was planned all along and is quite standard; after all, you can't have statements of intent or policy from a previous administration on a website that now belongs to a very different administration.

I do think the Trump team should have prepared their content better, but... Well, in the greater scheme of things I think this is just a small technicality. I certainly worry about the future of LGBT rights in the US, but not because Obama's statements were archived from a website he is no longer connected with.

Team Trump is playing mad catch-up, which they are trying to blame on the feckless actions, or lack thereof, of Chris Christie...
