Did President Trump make a mistake by getting into a spat over crowd size, and by his speech at CIA?

“Did President Trump make a mistake by getting into a spat over crowd size, and by his speech at CIA?”
Yep. Trump has shown remarkably bad judgment all along. His poll numbers are bound to crater and Cruz is going to win. /src
My thought: a presidency that can be goaded by the MSM into eating its own so quickly will make itself vulnerable to being pushed around. The French Revolution became a disaster when it start devouring its own children.
The crowd size was a trap set by the MSM. He ought to have either ignored it or made a counter statement that with the bad weather and all the leftist protestors in DC, it affected the crowd size. Our country’s law and order is out of whack.
I hope everyone realizes that it’s not about the numbers but the insult to the attendees.It was a deliberate attempt to dismiss his supporters and it’s typical of the lies of omission the media practice everyday.
America’s managed press is on full display. They have been handed their copy by the DNC for so long, that they just can’t imagine that they would have to defend their statements in an arena that they don’t control. Where their threats are met with incendiary retorts rather than cowering subservience. There is a new paradigm and it will be well worth the popcorn to watch them get paper trained.
You have to choose your battles, and in this case, I don’t think Trump chose wisely. Or at least the right tone. I think it would have been better if Sean Spicer had been a little bit less angry.
I’m not saying that they shouldn’t push back hard against the media. I’m just not sure that this particular instance was the best choice of battle field.
I’ve mixed feelings on this. I think it’s vital for the administration to confront lies, distortions and assorted bs. I’m just not sure this was a battle worth having. Maybe a statement or two showing time-lapsed photo images and asking why the media weren’t accurate.
I like Spicer and expect him to grow into this...but save the combative tone for when it’s necessary - and it will be.
As long as he wins it isn’t a mistake. Every victory over the media keeps the truth about them and their ways in the cycle.
I like this kind of “new tone”, we saw how well the obsequious approach of GWB was received.
There’s a new sheriff in town.
Suck it up leftys.
No one in the Trump administration's listening to them And their beloved democrats & 'neverTrumpers' are powerless. The breathless advice given to Trump's been wrong since Day One - from the hysterical 'Trump MUST be more like Jeb' - - up to the latest idiocy with the two pushing for Trump to ‘pivot’ toward elites - - and learn the ‘grand skill of being a two-faced’ fake (with airs of superiority - - which they seem to equate with 'gravitas).
I'm amazed Joe and Mika haven't encouraged Trump to take on the quasi-British accent they and so many of their 'guests' affect. What's next - advice to Trump on how to push his chin up in an imitation of a brain-dead but pompous liberal? Give it up Joe and Mike - save your advice for democrats - the folks who have lost a thousand elections in the last eight years. Your advice is wasted on the team that's winning.
Short answer:
No. 😀
No, because liars must be called out. The Truth demands it.
Arguing about crowd size (especially when you are wrong) is beneath the stature of the office of POTUS.
No.
I am going to repeat what I said yesterday. He is stopping them at the dinner roll.
And I am enjoying the fact that the media is having a full blown tantrum about this.
NO. And frankly, it wasn’t so much the crowd size with which he took issue, it was the intentional misrepresentation once again of everything Trump. He had every right to call these liars out. Keep doing it.
