Why Trump’s Vengeful Tweeting Matters
National Review ^ | 29 June 2017 | David French

Posted on 06/30/2017 8:36:54 PM PDT by Belteshazzar

The president has a huge impact on the country’s political culture. Trump’s misuse of the bully pulpit ensures that that impact is negative in his case. So, he did it again. As we’ve learned countless times since his inauguration, President Trump is the exact same person as celebrity Trump and candidate Trump. He’s crass, vicious, and petty. This morning, he tweeted this:

Crystal has gone round the bend.

Bill Crystal tweet:

Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state.

When the Hollywood Elite can say that his son is retarded and can post pictures and plays of his assassination I think any kind of reaction is above board. They have called the man a traitor and said he was guilty of treason which was a completely fabricated lie by the DNC and weaponized by the Deep State.
In most nations on Earth, these lying reporters would be executed. Here they are made heroes for their lies.

We are in a new realm for media coverage

“He’s crass, vicious, and petty. “

Good, and it’s about time. This French (and what an apt name for a weasel) is living in the DC bubble, and most of the nation doesn’t like his type. They don’t like congress, the deep state media, the leftists and the rinos; IOW, the people don’t like the swamp.

Trump is going into their “temple” and turning over their tables. French is acting like a predictable Pharisee.

He deals with them on their level

A "human truth": Bullies can't handle it when their intended victim hits back ... especially when, like President Trump, they hit back twice as hard! HA!!

I think Trump is amazing.

I appreciate great musicianship, but seldom do we see such mastery of an instrument as we do now with President Donald J. Trump.

He plays them a song and then eats their lunch in front of them, dining at their prepared table, while they dance and sing along. Fascinating.

Even long after that song is over, they can't stop talking about it, and talking about it, and talking about it. How amazing is that?!

He is indeed a rare talent and an incredible blessing at such a critical time.

His enemies have earned him, but the rest of us are unworthy.

I think he is deliberately and visibly shutting down the most egregious abuses of usurped and mis-allocated power, rather than just shut down the agency completely. Maybe later, when nothing is left but the original purpose to clean up the rivers, and that job was long ago completed.

This way, each removal of EPA overreach carves out a huge chunk of budget, removes hundreds or thousands of communist sub-human, anti-human employees from the agency roster, inflicts YUGE gaping wounds to the liberal agenda, and packs them with salt and hot pepper.

All the EPA and NGO lawsuits against innocent citizens and businesses, all the EPA SWAT raids against citizens and businesses, every blatant theft of private property, all the crooked land-swap deals with NGOs, and more, are subject to public exposure, personal reparations, and criminal charges.

The communist media can't even report what is being undone, because it was all crimes against humanity level offenses when they were created and carried out.

When he gets to the part about reparations for people who are still living, against people who are still living, then all the talk of reparations of 170-year-old policies will be moot.

When the lawsuits against innocent people are exposed as the blatant theft of their real estate as they were, the communist agressors and their media comrades will have to just sit there silent, praying to Gaia for mercy.

Nicely done, Iron Jack! What more can be said? One can't defend below the belt punches between political enemies. If Americans think this is undignified, they've forgotten American history.
