There is nothing new in this book. It's stuff Jonah already knew because he's smart and we're not.

The other theory is better.

Jonah is, always has been, and likely always will be a neverTrump hack. Maybe he knows how to diagram a sentence but his thoughts are consistently vacuous, unoriginal, condescending and unimportant. He’s a rube. He writes like a rube, sounds like a rube, looks like a rube and probably eats like a rube.

Generally, a worthless piece of Beltway folderol.

The president is a man out of his depth, propped up by a staff and a party that needs to believe more than what the facts will support.

Where has this guy been for the past year?

Hey, Jonah, I am a grammar nut. I hate when the nominative case is used in place of the objective case of a personal pronoun or when someone splits an infinitive, but guess what, I LOVE listening to President Trump in his impromptu gaggles or when he just talks about his accomplishments. I love it. I could listen to him all day.

We are blessed.

Similarly, if you've watched or read virtually any interview with the president -- never mind listened to him at a rally -- you've observed how the president struggles to complete a line of thought without being distracted.

Really? I haven't noticed that, no.

I can remember a time - long, long ago - when I enjoyed reading Jonah and others. But I believe I have my priorities straight, and they’re completely with Trump. Now I turn my back on these people who show that they share the characteristics of liberals - the lack of a sense of humor, the lack of self-awareness to realize that arrogance and putting yourself above the common person is not an attractive trait, and the reluctance to admit that they are wrong when events prove it over and over again.

Jonah and his cohorts are dead to me.

“All it takes is a willingness to see the obvious: The president is a man out of his depth, propped up by a staff and a party that needs to believe more than what the facts will support.”

BS! Jonah is the definition of the Intellectual Yet Idiot (IYI).

What drives these types insane is the fact that Trump is anything but an intellectual.

Trump runs on instinct, and common sense. Most Americans share his instinctual urges and common sense and appreciate the fact that he follows through with them. He doesn’t have to contemplate his navel for hours to make a decision.

He knows where he wants to go and is steadfast and consistent in his quest. His positions on issues are simple and direct and common sensical.

1. Immigration - totally out of control, must be stopped by what ever mean at our disposal, including a wall.

2. A country is not a country if it doesn’t have a border it controls. We the citizens want to decide who gets in and how many.

3. Reducing taxes on consumers and businesses will grow the economy

4. Global warming is a fraud. Believe your eyes not the lies of pseudo-scientists paid to tell lies.

5. Obamacare is a disaster. Get rid of it.

6. He sees most environmentalists as holier than thou elite jerks who elevate their precious sensibilities and aesthetics above that of normal people. He also sees environmentalism as a global wealth redestribution scheme with the US being the major sucker. He does not like being a sucker.

7. He believes as strongly as as anything else that the media is very powerful in shaping public opinion, and our current media is totally biased and an enemy of the US and wants to eviscerate it.

8. He believes excessive regulations severely throttle the economy. So he wants to get rid of many of them.

These are the obvious things that Jonah, the IYI, doesn’t see, and is incapable of seeing. When it comes to common sense it is precisely people like him who are out of their depth.

There’s nothing about Trump’s common sense instincts that I disapprove of. The fact that he doesn’t derivethem out of endless philosophical masturbation, the type Jonah and his ilk engage in, doesn’t bother me one bit, in fact it makes me like it more. Trump is a doer not a thinker.

There’s nothing new in what Jonah writes either. The same Never-Trump drivel. If Jonah were to shadow Trump daily for a week he wouldn’t last out the third day. Trump didn’t become a multi-millionaire, control a multi-billion dollar real estate empire and defeat the smartest woman in the world by watching TV 8 hours a day. What a load of crap!

Goldberg, talking about a man out of his depth? If Lucianne wasn't his Mom, he'd be making pastrami sandwiches at the local deli.

Pompous little prick.

Thank you, no.

I used to think that Jonah was semi-intelligent, but he is a semi-complete nutjob.
