RUSH: Well, so much for that collusion between Trump and Russia. Have you seen the Russians have threatened to hit back at Trump? Strike back at Trump. It was a relatively slow news weekend, for Trump. I mean, not all that much happened, folks. Let’s review it. We have the Russians threatening Trump and us over Trump’s cruise missile attack.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: You know, Mrs. Clinton had two appearances last week, one on stage at a Broadway play, and another appearance at a women’s issues forum. And she explained all the reasons why she lost.
Remember, she said the big one was misogyny, that there are still a bunch of Archie Bunker lug heads in America that just can’t stomach, just can’t put up with, just would not tolerate a woman president. But did you notice what she didn’t mention in the entire list of reasons or excuses? She didn’t mention Russia. And I went back just to make sure that this memory of mind was correct. She didn’t mention Russia in all the reasons why she lost. At least not that I saw. And wouldn’t you put that at the top of the list? Because that’s what the Democrats all over the country are trying to prove here, is that the Russians tampered with the election, even though there is no evidence for it.
Anyway, back to the slow weekend here. The Russians are threatening us and threatening Trump over our Tomahawk missile attack on Syria’s poison gas supply base. The North Koreans are threatening to attack us, which is as usual. We have news that Senator McCain and Susan Collins and some Democrats tried to work out a deal to keep the filibuster and ditch Gorsuch. There actually was an attempt to save the filibuster on the premise that we needed to save the time-honored and sacred rules of the Senate. Not a word about Harry Reid blowing them up in 2013 or the Democrats blowing them up in 2003.
But that was it. Pretty much it’s busier than most news weekends prior to Trump, but since Trump it’s a pretty slow news weekend since Trump has been elected. The biggest story — well, it’s hard to say that there’s something bigger than anything else, but I’ll tell you, Trump is sending the fleet, or a portion of our naval fleet to the western Pacific, the northwestern Pacific. Now, for those of you in Rio Linda, that means we are sending a flotilla to be near the Korean peninsula where you would find South Korea and the Norks of Kim Il-Jung or whatever.
Now, the important thing about this is that the ChiCom president, Xi Jinping, did not object. Now, after all China is to North Korea what Russia is to Syria. They are brethren, they are protectors, they are investors, and the linkage is communism. North Korea is communist. China is communist. And so there is a relationship based on that. This is the same Donald Trump that the Drive-By Media has been telling us for more than a year and a half has poisoned U.S. relations with China forever, and yet the news of the meeting between Xi Jinping of China and Trump, the glow after this meeting is incredible.
And I want to remind you again, whoever staged this in the White House knows exactly what they were doing. On the night that we hit Syria, Trump is dining with the president of China, Xi Jinping, and there are photos of that dinner, and in every photo the ChiCom president is smiling ear to ear. He’s having the grandest time. He’s probably looking at Mar-a-Lago and saying, “How can we duplicate this in Beijing and get away with it?” He’s probably looking at that place and is stunned by it. And he’s just having the grandest time, he’s smiling ear to ear.
And they post all of those pictures the night of the attack, and Xi Jinping smiling certainly creates the image that he’s not unhappy at all with the fact that we sent those Tomahawks into Syria. Whether he’s opposed to it or not doesn’t matter. But the fact that Xi Jinping does not seem to object to our sending a portion of the fleet to be nearby the Korean peninsula is fascinating too. It’s amazing what one little military — and as General Keane said, this was limited, very limited maneuver and one target. Yeah, there are 59 Tomahawks, but it was a limited target.
Rush just now talking about Trump postponing his campaign pillar of major tax cuts:
UK Daily Mail (4/10/2017)
“President Donald Trump has scrapped the tax plan he campaigned on and is going back to the drawing board in a search for Republican consensus behind legislation to overhaul the U.S. tax system...But it has already sprouted the consideration of a series of unorthodox proposals including a drastic cut to the payroll tax, aimed at appealing to Democrats.”

I’m sure some here will tell us this is more 3-D Chess and brilliance from Trump.
* Trump supports Ryancare
* Trump attacked and will be leading regime change in Syria
* Scrapping his much touted tax plan
I’m learning that Trump talks out both sides of his mouth!
Notwithstanding your propagandist bullet points, the President is doing a great job, so try to exercise a little self-control over your knee-jerk NeverTrump impulses...
He is not Emperor Trump, he’s President Trump, who you need to be mad at are GOPe senators and representatives.

Nice try, but that doesn’t answer why HE is scrapping HIS tax Plan?
Teddy Cruz LOST. He then doubled down on LOSING by the way
he conducted himself at the Republican convention (in
refusing to endorse the WINNER fair & square of the
Republican primary in his long-winded, self-serving speech.
- Cruz “might” be able to be re-elected to his Senate seat;
but that’s a big “maybe”. (He has acted a bit better of
late; so we shall see.)

__________________________________________
You same folks were telling us the same thing when we criticized Trump pushing Ryancare which included NO repeal...not even close to a repeal!
Amazing the latitude he’s being provided for breaking major campaign promises!
Rush just reported that Sean Spicer announced that the “drop tax plan” news is false. Not happening.
That’s good.
The President signs legislation which is passed by Congress.
The fact that the same Congress which passed Obamacare repeal a half dozen times now refuses to do so isn't the President's fault.
You're simply indulging your knee-jerk NeverTrump impulses at every opportunity.
This President has accomplished a helluva lot before the first 90 days have even passed. To ignore the many good things he has done requires willful ignorance.
Your Trump-bashing ilk is incapable of giving credit where credit is due...
Any new Russia gave Trump the election, fake news this week?
That you Rush?
Quoting yourself again?
She’s a lesbian, how can it be misogyny?
And you know he Scrapped his Tax plan from the same people who have been lying non-stop for at least a year.
Yep, Trump talks out of both sides of his mouth, like when he promised to nominate an originalist to the Supreme Court then went ahead and ..... Wait! Bad example.
How about when he talked during the campaign about cracking down on sanctuary cities and begining deportion of the most violent illegal aliens immediately upon taking office, but instead, he went and.... Oh wait! Another bad example!
