I’ve been giving him time, but nothing is changing. As a specific example, CNN and the NY Times are funding a play that depicts his assassination, literally.
What has he said or done about it? Nothing, best I can tell. At a minimum, he should pull their press credentials, and remind everyone why they have been banned every time he takes the microphone, which should be frequently.
He gave a kumbayah speech today, after GOP congressmen were targeted by an assassin, which would have been a perfect time to mention it. He didn’t need to shout it out, but just be honest about how outrageous it is. He’s getting more and more PC, which looks weak after the fiery campaign rhetoric we believed in.
How do you build a case with no evidence?
I am curious are you Ok with the way Trump is handling this assault on him? I just don’t see much of an offensive at all. He fired Comey yes but it could ibeen done a whole lot better in my view.
How can you say he is fighting feebly? He is definitly in the fight to WIN!
The problem for you is that he is not fighting the way and pace you want him to fight. You want him to fight like Hotspurs, a Shakespearean reference, which is a sure way to lose this war quickly.
Just be patient, he is a winner who knows how to win. The way to win this is through some patience.
My expectations aren’t delusional, I just expected him to halfway keep his promises to bring change to Washington, but it appears he’s the only one who’s undergoing a transition.
And I’m hardly alone here on FR, there are many I see every day who want Trump to put the gloves back on, calling for him to fire Mueller on every thread. I’m not sure that’s the right move at this point, but he needs to something to get back on the offensive, and fast. Even if he ends up completely vindicated by the time this is over, he’s been kicked around quite a bit at this point, and has lost all the intimidation factor he had when he took office. That was something that WE his supporters gave him, that I feel he’s mostly squandered, by trying to be PC when the other side is playing for keeps. And no, whatever he says on Twitter doesn’t count, it just makes him look even weaker.
He's apparently been reading Mitch McConnell's PC book "the long game" and thinks that a lot of his supporters will be happy with a good twitter rant every other day. So far, it's not working.
Not even five months lol
You don’t know everything that is going on, but you are not ‘feeling’ it. I get you. But know this - if he falls what you want will never happen outside of civil war.
You’re supposedly a conservative, don’t go wobbly because of your feelings. Train your fire and ire on the uniparty.
bttt
Good article. Thanks.
“His greatest problem is not spurious charges or media hostility, which is not uniform and provokes a heavy backlash, but the cowardice of congressional Republicans.”
Not seeing that.
They are trying to accuse him not of Obstruction of Justice. Look at what the Clintons did and they never got any justice. Obama was not even eligible and they dared us to say one word.
Sorry, not seeing total win yet.
Thanks, but I’ve had my fire and ire on the uniparty the last 10+ years. Trump was supposed to take them on too, but now it looks like he’s bent over being fitted for a very short leash. Wake me up when he has another press conference, but it’s not looking like we’ll ever see another one like those first few.
>> Hollywood, Wall Street, the national media, academia, the lobbyists and the bureaucracy
>> New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC.
Yet no mention of Disney, Comcast, Time Warner (AT&T), Viacom — the corporations controlling the MSM minions.
An inspiringly tedious article — perhaps I’m just insane.
I want to try out a hypothetical on you.
First, when he let up on Hillary, I saw that as a weakness at first but then I reasoned that if she quietly went away it would be worth it to not put her through the judicial system. But she did not go away. Recall that she came back and said she would join the resistance. That is when Trump fired Comey, because now he could appoint a new FBI director who would be free to investigate the Clinton machine where the statute of limitations had not been passed. He cannot do this with Comey in the FBI because he is a shill for the Clinton machine and always has been.
Next is the matter of Flynn. He was not vetted as he should have been. He was giving Trump good National Security gravitas but he did not disclose that he took a position as a lobbyist for Turkey. This is something that Trump appointees all had to renounce as part of Trumps plan to close the revolving door. Flynn was already corrupted before the train started moving. He had to be let go.
I agree with you that if he wants to recover, he must again meet with his base and hold rallies. He needs to get Congress to pass his agenda (and stay in power so that he cannot be impeached after 2018). I believe he can still do this but the forces against him are getting more confident.
Even if the people are dumb enough to give the House back to the dim dems and they vote to impeach with a simple majority of those voting; it would still have to go through the trial process in the Senate where cause would have to be proven and a 2/3 majority would need to vote yes for impeachment for it to happen.
There has been no crime committed by President Trump but lots of crimes committed by members of the previous Administration that should be brought up on charges including Holder, Lynch, H. Clinton, B. Obama, and probably Val Jarrett. These people committed multiple serious crimes which can be proven unlike anything President Trump has done.
President Trump’s only crime, and this is only in the eyes of the leftists, is not going along with their wishes and wants policy-wise. Nothing criminal has happened. I guess the left figures since they routinely commit multiple crimes while in office; everyone else does too. Surprise!! Good guys don’t have to. I bet there’s dirt to be found on McCain and the other RINO’s though.
Do you expect him to fire Congress?
He has also ended up as a president with very few political allies in Washington -- because he's basically an Independent who commandeered the Republican primary system to get nominated last year. This only makes it harder for him to get anything done that requires action by Congress. For the first time in his life, he's not really the boss at all. He has to answer to a "board of directors" on most of his agenda.
Donald Trump is exactly who I expected him to be. I don't see why anyone would be disappointed in that.
