t really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.
They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC. Nor up to Leon Wieseltier at the New Republic, nor Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone, nor Michael Oreskes at NPR, at the New York Times, or at the Associated Press. But — oh, wow! — can they ever stand up to Putin! Only Trump is incapable of negotiating with the Russian tyrant.
Remember the four years when Anderson Cooper was President of the United States? And before that — when the entire Washington Post editorial staff jointly were elected to be President? Remember? Neither do I.
The Seedier Media never have negotiated life and death, not corporate life and death, and not human life and death. They think they know how to negotiate, but they do not know how. They go to a college, are told by peers that they are smart, get some good grades, proceed to a graduate degree in journalism, and get hired as analysts. Now they are expert, ready to take on Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs at age 30.
That is not the road to expertise in tough dealing. The alternate road is that, along the way, maybe you get forced into some street fights. Sometimes the other guy wins, and sometimes you beat the intestines out of him...

Fantastic article. Thanks for posting.
BTTT
Awesome article. One sentence stands out, for me...
We were not snowflaked-for-life by effete professors who themselves never had negotiated tough life-or-death serious deals.
And the first thing I thought about was this scene in, Back to School, when Thornton Melon schools Dr Barbay on business.

Dr Barbay represents every one that Fischer writes about, as being smarter than the President.
Holy smokes! Were they on the smorgasbord at a Rapey Democrat “pizza party”?!!??!?
FREAKY!!
That pic deserves its own thread!

I can't figure out his motive for doing so, but his experience with the press and the never-Trumpers and their willingness to jump on every opportunity to lambaste him has certainly prepared him for this.
He knew going into the summit with Putin that his enemies would sift every detail looking for an error.
Yet given all that, he delivered to his enemies a big present with a yuge ribbon on top.
That just seems out of character unless he has an ulterior motive.
It’s a great article about our great POTUS!

This is a great Trump video sent to me earlier. Enjoy and share.
Anderson Cooper, or vanderbilt or whatever, simply gave the worst performance of any news reader in the world.
He should be fired for he behaved. He won’t, of course but still.
Better than pretty good. Excellent!
Thanks for posting.
Yes, these are not simply people with whom we have a political disagreement.
I call the press "The Media Death Star", after the Death Star from the movie Star Wars.
They park over their target and destroy it with their main weapon.
President Trump understands that for us to be free, the Media Death Star must be destroyed.
I've known this for years.
