Sleight of Brain.

        What's this sleight of mind have to do with draining of the swamp? Well as near as I can determine our President, having promised to drain the Washington swamp has, instead, used his skill at sleight of mind instead of sleight of hand. Instead of eliminating corruption in Washington, he has changed it to adding corruption in the White house, and his many haunts.
       Now normally to increase corruption that much would bring too much attention. However by cleverly bringing his skill at sleight of mind into play he can keep everyone confused all the time. As soon as questions of behavior come up, he quickly brings up another subject that seems even more important than the last. By the time you begin to realize how this headline holds other implications, his sleight of mind has drawn us to yet another potential tragedy.
       In fairness he has drained the swamp some small amount. He goes through good people turned swamp monsters, by telling them they're fired. Or having some new 'swamp monster to be' to do the firing. Now we all understand that political appointments to White House leadership positions is a temporary employment situation at best. But under our present President it is no more than a call from a temp service. With one exception. The person relieved of duty will almost always have his or her reputation savaged. This too is part of the sleight of mind order.
       Even an investigation into collusion with Russia offers opportunities for sleight of mind. To fire Mueller or not to fire that is the question. Anyone who is called to testify before Mueller will surely be fired, but Mueller, himself. has yet to get the ax. Aha, but as long as our President can use him as an object to be pointed at as an enemy of his leadership and as a sleight of mind, Mueller will remain.
