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:

Bullcrap. These pair of no talent, idiot, low IQ non-entities and their staff of rubber stamp equally mentally challanged associates have been brutally and personally attacking Trump since he was nominated. Screw them. Trump was right about low IQ Mika and Psycho Scarborough.

The National Review would NEVER be recognized by Bill Buckley. It’s run by the Billy Krystal Charles Kraphammer wing of the Republican Party. The take the high road congenital and consistent failures.

That is the point he controls the MSM narrative. They explode and defend their fellow journalists on this dumb show.

They devote no time to Kate’s Law or Santuary City bill. We all know the media would not look at those two laws as a good thing. They would spin it as bigotry etc. so these laws get to stand on their own merit, as any rational human being, and there are a few left yet, CN see that these laws make a lot of sense.

Plus the media just looks more hypocritical in the end

I don’t know if David French realizes that we got sick of losing, or if he wanted us to lose all along.

Has anyone heard the commie media mention that Trump shut down the hideous WOTUS program?

He could quietly shut down the entire agency with little or no noticeable effect.

(talk about liberal heads exploding)

Mika has been mouthing off against Trump with the most vile lies, along with her “I could have been a Navy SEAL but I’m too smart for that” persona, for more than a year - and now we find she can’t take a punch.

Bravo, Mr. Trump.

I dont like these tweets because he is giving them and MSNBC a huge ratings boost. Eff these people...

Yeah, everybody is tuning in to see who this 'Psycho' Joe is.. That 'Psycho' Joe is the most intriguing word in the President's tweet... I cannot wait to find out what is behind that label... I already knew Mikey was a tramp.

I love the bayonet on the Vulcan gun. The only thing that would make that picture better was if his left arm was holding Hillary’s severed head, although I’m sure it would generate outrage from the Left, unlike Kathy Griffin’s little stunt.

Last year:

“Sources told Fox News on Tuesday that, “he’s (French) talking with lots of people (donors, strategists, etc.), but in the mode of planning for it not just considering it.”

Kristol kicked off the speculation, and the backlash, when he claimed Sunday: “There will be an independent candidate — an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance.”
When reached Tuesday by Bloomberg, which first reported the efforts to recruit French, Kristol declined to comment.

Kristol first mentioned French in the Standard’s June 6 [2016] issue, when he wrote that “the fact of Trump’s and Clinton’s unfitness for the Oval Office has become so self-evident that it’s no longer clear one needs a famous figure to provide an alternative.”

That should put French in perspective.

To: pissant

it ‘vengeful’ to call someone a F’n moron if they say you are just like Mussolini or Hitler in front of a large audience? No?

Another thing abut this is that the lanGuage is absolute and leaves no room for debate or further discussion. There are only two possible responses to such language: aquesence or war. So, who is starting what?
