Donald Trump Thinks He Can Endure More Controversy And Pain Than You
The Huffinglue Post ^ | 02/02/2017 | Sam Stein

Posted on 02/15/2017 1:33:59 PM PST by MountainWalker

The fear, for Democrats, is that he’s absolutely right...

His first two weeks have been the equivalent of a political sugar rush, repeated on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. It’s left government officials both invigorated and exhausted. It’s overwhelmed staffers on Capitol Hill. And it’s made Democrats nervous that they’re playing whack-a-mole, chasing the last Trump controversy as a new one inevitably emerges. Some suspect it all may be by design....

“I could not stop laughing when the mainstream media said, ‘Oh my God, the Mexican president has canceled his visit with Trump,’” said Sam Nunberg, a former Trump aide, in reference to the dust-up in the president’s first week. “I think Trump loved it. If I had to guess, he is negotiating. … The idea that the president of Mexico will affect Trump or scare Trump because he won’t attend a meeting with him at the White House is hilarious. Trump has plenty to do. I don’t think he cares.”

Trump has fun outraging them every day.

And their reaction is proof he’s right.

I am pretty sure that absolutely nobody could endure what DT is going to be going thru over in the weeks/months/years that follow other than DT. I *wish* I had the courage of my convictions that he has.

I pray that he ultimately will prevail.

If I was Trump in light of recent events I would pardon Eric Snowden and nominate him to head the NSA. I would tell him to dismantle it.

The Huffington Post is boring along with the rest of the MSM right now. They just won’t to bring Trump down instead of doing honest reporting.

He is one of the most gifted politicians that I have ever seen.

The left’s main political tool is destroying their opponents with weaponized phony outrage amplified through their media hyenas. All it took was a guy who DGAF, dialed it up to 11 and kicked back and laughed watching the ensuing meltdown.

Trump told him there was no point in coming if he wasn't going to talk about Mexico paying for the wall. He wasn't so he cancelled. Of course the media doesn't get it.

Every single day President Trump has to rise above the nest of traitors, liars, fake news propagandists, hypocrites and Marxists.

Every single day he takes them on with grace, dignity and his little smile of calm amusement.

“Though he walks through the shadow of the valley of death....”

Read the comments section. It is nothing short of stupid. No one seems to mind the fact that the shadow government has the ability to bring down their political enemies with the help of the media and the previous administration. So much for the peaceful transition of power...

While not agreeing with all the content, I enjoyed Sam Stein’s article. Engendered more than a few chuckles.

Hope it’s not the last he’s able to post there.

Please see my tagline. I believe he said that at the convention.

He is facing a monumental battle that very few of us could stand. You are right—he does need our prayers.

Very well said!!! :)

And he’s doing it for selfless reasons—only accepting $1 in salary and putting his brand through the wringer.

For your point number 19. They didn’t resign, Trump fired them. Even better.
