RUSH: So I see that everybody’s upset — and I mean everybody, I mean people on both sides of the political dividing line — are upset that Trump is quoting the pot-bellied dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, and claiming that Joe Biden is a low-IQ individual and that the Obama/Biden administration was a disaster. Trump is agreeing with Kim Jong-un.
Everybody: “I can’t believe Trump would do this! He would leave the country, he would go beyond the water’s edge and he would then insult a former president and vice president. I cannot believe it.” What do you mean, can’t believe it? You people have forgotten — by the way, greetings, and great to have you with us. Great to be back. 800-282-2882 if you want to be on the program.
When was it? Was it the 2004 presidential campaign we got Clinton, we got Gore, we got who knows how many Democrats all over Europe running down George W. Bush and the Iraq war! And nobody was concerned about politics ends at the water’s edge or whatever it was.
And, for crying out loud, how many Democrats, how many members of the media have gone to Europe or anywhere and started ripping Trump? As though Trump is doing something here that’s unusual, that is unique, and that has never been done before. What Trump is doing is turning it around. Normally Republicans do not play tit-for-tat, this kind of thing. Republicans are sitting ducks. Republicans play nice. Republicans play by the accepted rules and the norms of American politics defined by the Democrat Party, the Washington establishment, and the media.
And so they can sit there and they can be tarred and feathered by former presidents. For crying out loud, Barack Hussein Obama was ripping Trump on foreign soil. I got the audio sound bite of that somewhere here in the roster. In 2015, Obama rips Trump and talk radio while in Africa. Go ahead and play that. I hadn’t intended to get to this yet, but I may as well since I’ve talked about it.
Audio sound bites 16 and 17. Obama and the Ethiopian prime minister held a joint press conference in Addis Ababa, and during the Q&A Obama said this about the Republican candidates for president.
OBAMA: The particular comments of Mr. Huckabee are, I think part of just a general pattern that we’ve seen that is, would be considered ridiculous if it weren’t so sad. I mean, we’ve had a sitting Senator call John Kerry Pontius Pilate. We’ve had a sitting Senator who also happens to be running for president suggest that I’m the leading state sponsor of terrorism.
RUSH: Right. He also went after Huckabee and Ted Cruz in the same day while on foreign soil. Again, the same press conference with the prime minister of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa. Let’s see. I don’t know why we split these. He’s just continuing what he said.
OBAMA: When you look at what’s happened with Mr. Trump, when he’s made some of the remarks that, for example, challenged the heroism of Mr. McCain, the Republican Party is shocked and yet that arises out of a culture where those kinds of outrageous attacks have become far too commonplace and get circulated non-stop through the internet and talk radio.
RUSH: So there’s Obama in Ethiopia, in Africa ripping into the Republican presidential nominee. One of them became president. These guys are running around ripping Trump everywhere. Who knows if Kim Jong-un even knows who Joe Biden is. But Trump says that he said it, says he agrees. “I agree with Kim Jong-un’s statement that Joe Biden is a low IQ –” (laughing) Again, it’s people that don’t have a sense of humor.
Now, I’ll tell you where this comes from, in part. There is a columnist for TIME magazine, a guy named Ian Bremmer. And on Sunday this guy tweeted a quote from Trump about Kim Jong-un that went viral, and it wasn’t real. The guy made it up. And nobody seems to have a problem with this.
This is what this guy wrote, this TIME magazine reporter, Ian Bremmer on Twitter. “President Trump in Tokyo: ‘Kim Jong Un is smarter and would make a better President than Sleepy Joe Biden,'” Bremmer tweeted.
That thing gets tweeted out, it goes viral, and gets repeated by people on Fox News and the AP, and it’s totally made up. Not a word of it is true. Trump did not say it. (interruption) Yeah, John Kerry in Iran. John Kerry has been in Iran trying to undermine the Trump administration and the redoing of the Iran deal ever since that happened. I’ll tell you where this comes from. I’ll tell you where it comes from.
It comes from the fact that Trump is out there telling the truth to African-Americans about Biden and the crime bill. You know Clinton’s, what was it, one million new cops, hundred thousand new cops, Midnight Basketball and all that, remember that? It was the Crime Bill, 1994. It resulted in increased imprisonment of African-American perps, which Trump has now just reversed with his prison reform bill that Jared Kushner pushed.
So Trump is out there telling anybody who might listen that voting for Joe Biden, that African-Americans, once they learn this, are not gonna do it because Biden supported and voted for the crime bill in 1994. Here’s Biden ushering in a dark period in American history with the ’94 Crime Bill that Democrats blame for mass incarcerations.
“Super Predator was the term associated with the 1994 Crime Bill that Sleepy Joe Biden was so heavily involved in passing,” the president tweeted. “That was a dark period in American History, but has Sleepy Joe apologized? No!”
That’s where all of this stems. Trump dares to tell the truth about these people. They react, and Trump reacts, and, by the way, if you look at the latest polling data on this, Gallup poll released today, 40% of Americans believe Trump has the right personality and leadership qualities that a president should have, which is a seven-point increase from two years ago at the beginning of his administration.
This is gonna drive ‘em nuts, because Gallup is an accepted polling unit, and Gallup says that more Americans are agreeing h that Trump has the right personality and leadership qualities. Eighty-one percent of Republicans believe it. Let’s see, 13% of Democrats, of course.
And there’s other polling data out there today, including three supposed experts at modeling future elections, turnouts and all that, computer models. And all three of these guys are commie-based left-wing types, and, in fact, one of them has 12 different models, and Trump wins them all, in terms of reelection. And that was a story in the New York Times over the weekend by Steve Rattner, former car czar for Obama and best friend, BFF, of Little Pinch, Schultzburger, whose kid now runs the New York Times.
So the Democrats are upset about a whole lot of things. They’re still upset over the Mueller report. They’re upset over that whole thing bombing out on ’em.
“If Republicans fight back, they’ll only drive the moderates into the arms of the Democrats.”
And THAT is the real reason that the DUMBOCRATS
ant impeachment !
The reason the so-called “Republican Party” has never fought back is because they were never really a separate party from the Democrats, just a different brand-name for the same crony-capitalist/big government crap.
Rather than forming a third party Trump is forcing the Republicans to become an actual 2nd party. Godspeed to him.
At some point, turning the other cheek is no longer an option. If that is to be disagreeable then too f*ckin’ bad.
Sleepy Joe and Slurring Nancy seem pretty quiet lately.
Republicans have a history of being weenies.
Since November 2016 when anyone opens up with theirbBS, it’s on.
Not everytime but, when it’s called for instance one nearly fell out of my chair when someone at the dinner table said Pemce told graduates they should prepare to see action.
Hadn’t heard about it bit, easy smack down.
“,1, That is reality. This president will do what he can to avoid war but, the facts are and the patern is, we go into some major shit storm once each decade...
2. Say whatever is required for you to obtain.eqyal statue with your wife by telling any lie you need to, inorder to remain relevant
Your conceit and deceit will only result in your pyric pride through lame vanity
Oh, and you are not the smartest person in the room...
Did not Bathhouse Barry start the trend of criticizing the US while he was OCONUS? I thought that was A-OK? And did not the media go all aflutter when some foreign leader criticized Trump?
Oh no no no no no! We can’t fight back! Why, that would be RUDE! If only we could go back to partying with Pelosi after an all in fun loss to the democrats!

Bush was such an anemic wimpy president who’d roll over for anything; never fought back which is why the MSM an RINO’s don’t know what to say or do other than scream “IMPEACH”
Great post. There are some in here who would go third party without realizing that voting for some third party candidate is nothing but a waste. As a third party candidate will never win
He has shown what cuckolds Mcshame, Mittens and Bush were.
Each of them would allow a man to risk into their house, bang their wife and fart in their faces before criticising Obozzo
Blah, blah, blah. You’re full of it.
A LONG time ago.
Which President Bush are you talking about?
Yes that arrogant pos did. He also apologized to other nations, for no reason whatsoever
Both and Jeb as well
I beg to differ with Rush... Many do fight back... against their own party, against conservatives, against the will of the people, and nowadays, against Trump!
