A reporter on Fox News last night compared the leadership style of President Trump to that of the late NY Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, as if that’s a bad thing. I beg to differ. Yeah, Steinbrenner was a bitch to work for – he fired Billy Martin alone on 3 different occasions – but here’s the record: While he was running the Yankees, they won more games, more division championships, more league championships and more World Series titles than any other team in Major League Baseball during those 38 seasons.
Steinbrenner’s record is so impressive that ESPN, in an article written upon his death in 2010, ranked him as the the greatest owner in the history of Major League Baseball, and the third-greatest in the history of all of professional sports. Steinbrenner was pugnacious, he was disagreeable, he was often rude and profane, but more than anything else, George Steinbrenner was a winner.
Donald Trump was not elected to the presidency to be nice to everybody. He was elected to erase the horrific legacy of Barack Obama. He was elected to return this country to its former status as a leader in world affairs. He was elected to get the economy up and running again after 9 years of endless economic stagnation. He was elected to halt the unfettered invasion of this country by illegal immigrants from all over the world. To put it simply, he was elected to be a winner, and make this country a winner again on the world stage.
I’d say the comparison to Steinbrenner is pretty apt, and frankly, it’s a compliment.

Good analogy.

Bingo!
BRAVO! Mr. Blackmon.
Trouble is, he came in with a small pencil eraser and found it wore down too quickly. Errors are being found that demand a much larger Pentel block eraser.
Our President is working hard to MAGA!
I wish Hal and Hank were a lot more like George.
I saw an electric eraser at a yard sale, I’d never knew they existed. I found that they were used in drafting. So maybe Trump needs one of those.
I see it! Scaramucci is Billy Martin?!
Could be. He certainly fits the profile. :)
I was a draftsman back in the day before computers and used those all the time! In fact I may still have one in my stuff somewhere...??
In all fairness, perhaps he does. His arm and hand must grow weary with the repetitive motion. And a plus for this idea is the fact the greenies would blow their tops....it’s electric! air polution! Global Warming! (forgetting about their electric cars! DUH!)
Excellent analysis
George (panicked): What's he gonna do? That's exactly the point!
Nobody knows what this guy is capable of! He fires people like it's
a bodily function!
