You’re probably seeing the best persuasion you will ever see from a new president. Instead of dribbling out one headline at a time, so the vultures and critics can focus their fire, Trump has flooded the playing field. You don’t know where to aim your outrage. He’s creating so many opportunities for disagreement that it’s mentally exhausting. Literally. He’s wearing down the critics, replacing their specific complaints with entire encyclopedias of complaints. And when Trump has created a hundred reasons to complain, do you know what impression will be left with the public?

He sure got a lot done.

Even if you don’t like it.

In only a few days, Trump has made us question what-the-hell every other president was doing during their first weeks in office. Were they even trying?

It’s the hurry-up offense at the start of the game. I love it.

pretty soon, it will become apparent that the press can’t keep up with him and Trumps team will use this as a big hammer in every media engagement.

Military guys recognize exactly what’s happening. The President is inside his opponents decision cycle. Well inside. He’s overwhelming them in fact.

Does anyone have the Obama calendar for his first weeks of office?

How many rounds of golf had he played by now?

Sorta like Clinton did with all his scandals.

There were so many, it was impossible to focus on just one.

I think he is out Alinskying Alinsky.

I’m reminded of a line from the movie “Patton”.

“Rommel you magnificent bastard! I read your book!”

A reminder of what Obama's fist week was like:

This is Alinsky stuff. Overwhelm the system.

Trump: “Saul Alinksy, you magnificent bastard, I READ YOUR BOOK!”

Outrage dilution pretty soon turns into outrage fatigue.

Just wait till these special snowflakes get outraged about us not caring about their outrage.

Scandal fatigue worked for Bill Clinton. It’s a perfectly reasonable thing to expect outrage fatigue to work in President Trump’s favor. Precedent and all that.

Excellent. I saw a poster on Facebook the other day, with a woman on one side holding up a sign that said ‘My Body, My Choice’. On the other side was Uncle Sam holding a sign that read ‘Your Choice, Your Responsibility.’

Simple & to the point.
