“I need more winning. When the cultural marxist movement is in a death rattle, I may be tired of winning.”

You’ll be a junkie for winning by then, a complete addict.

Prayer rugs to a liberal are perfectly acceptable.

It’s cross’s and the star of david they despise.

My girlfriend is a recovering journalist and Trump's tweets send her into fits of apoplexy. I tell her to laugh as he's doing it to annoy and rattle his critics.

She says, "He's so juvenile! Doesn't he understand he's going to be the President of the United States???"

I say, "His tweets are obviously working."

She and I may not survive DJT's first year in office.

Cancer doesn't like chemotherapy. Bacteria don't like antibiotics. Roaches don't like light. And slimy, old school, lying, back-stabbing politicians don't like direct communication to the people. Got it.

I don’t put anything in writing that I don’t know who is going to see it.

Makes it really easy to say different, and inconsistent, things to different people, doesn't it?

What about leadership and owning up to what you have said?

Guess that's not what lobbyists are interested in.

Trent Lott finds Trump's tweets to be unnerving?

There could be no higher recommendation.

As I have been saying — Trump is staking out bargaining positions.

When negotiations start, he will already be in positions of strength.

The spineless Lott ...

Right after the party with the best wine and cheese, not to mention the most $ to our reelections ...

Trump has nearly 19 million followers on twitter which he reaches directly, not including retweets and media coverage of his tweets.

A TV show like Meet the Press only reaches 1.5 million people on a good day. The old media can’t compete. Trump is the new media.


thanks for sharing. Also gives some insight into Chuckie S and his you can’t communicate in 140 characters. Wrong Chuckie... DJT get to the essence and closes with Zingers embedding his message....

Go back and warm up your Clowns to go clean up the Elephant Poop you and your ilk created the last 8 years...

P.S. you can keep it as a reward for your failed attempts at taking over America...

My relationship fell apart about a month before the election. We both knew it wasn’t going to survive. For some reason I always find a lib. No more. First question will be “Are you a deplorable?”

Strange, their hero FDR did the same thing with his “Fireside Chats”. What PE Trump is doing is just the 21st C version of that.


Thanks for the historical reference. You are right on...... He is showing them that their Dinosaur Dynasty has just been hit by the Trump Meteor

But their not traumatized about information from a top-secret report being leaked to the media? And not only that, it was leaked in a way to favor their agenda.

THANK GOD there's going to be a new sheriff in town!

“D.C. is all about relationships and knowing what’s going to happen and being able to predict what is going to happen next. They can’t predict with him.”

That's about halfway to the truth. The whole truth is that they like being the ones setting the agenda, either by calling in "favors" owed by the President that got him to the office or by offering new ones. That money's no good here.
