The professional Trump haters

ow many vicious, clever, angry, sputtering take-downs of Donald Trump is enough? If the president actually does something significant — as opposed to merely tweeting or saying something obnoxious or offensive — then pundits should certainly feel free to write about and denounce it. (I certainly do.) But the relentless, obsessive-compulsive focus on every Trumpian action and utterance by the likes of Max Boot, Jennifer Rubin, Michael Gerson, Bill Kristol, Peter Wehner, and a handful of other commentators is something else entirely. The Trump preoccupation says far more about the critics than the criticized.

Trump is the solvent that removed the surface to reveal the true nature of the likes of Rubin and Kristol.

“Trump is the solvent that removed the surface to reveal the true nature of the likes of Rubin and Kristol.”

And the person that wrote the article.

He’s just pleading with them to be smarter about it.

But they would need to be a lot smarter than him.

And it wouldn’t help, anyway.

It’s our President’s turn now.

The Democrat Media once had the power to manipulate the elections. Trump won despite the Media of Hate. They are resentful for their loss of persuasion.

Speaking of professional Trump haters, I just listened to Jonah Goldberg’s Remnant podcast with his wife, Jessica Gavora.

Along with having worked with Mueller back during the 9/11 aftermath, she was ghostwriter for the Ryan/McCarthy/Rubio (was he the third?) Young Guns book and she gushed about her respect for Ryan. Was Haley’s speechwriter at the UN (and is doing a book for her now) and bragged about how Haley took advantage of the power vacuum from Tillerson to aggressively take action and ask for forgiveness afterwards. Proudly described herself as a “neocon” in favor of an assertive foreign policy.
