Oh, I see - so you will go with whatever the MSM’s “headlines” dictate ... That’s the new source of “truth.” As if anything Trump does will ever generate positive headlines. Get real!

The only people who believe their crap are those who WANT to believe their crap because they have not a shred of integrity, nor are they capable of independent objective thought. But you go right ahead and give them credibility.

Trump was exactly correct in all his statements. Not everyone in that park were attached to the Supremacists. There were a good number who simply wanted to defend the statue of General Lee.

Why don’t just go join the other side? Since you seem to act as a propagandist for them.

Rush is still solidly behind Trump. Some folks need to get their panties out of a bunch, IMO.

"Correct. Trump is becoming increasingly isolated. It takes teams to win. Trump is a CEO type using to barking orders and has not demonstrated that he has the needed political skills to persuade and secure a network of allies around him to reinforce his views. Thus he is the Lone Ranger out there tweeting to his base."

He will not get help from the GOPe and any of the corporate or DC power brokers. He needs to capitalize on his strength and start mobilizing his base into people power demonstrations in the streets. The Left excels at this. It is time for conservatives to do the same. Fear of real group action might whip some of the weaklings back into line. If not, then it is time for confrontation, anyway or the country will slide away as history is erased and uncontrolled immigration is used to replace those difficult Trump base voters.

President Trump is basically an Independent who hijacked the Republican Party nomination to get elected to the White House. He is completely out of his element in a position that requires him to deal with a committee of people -- many of them losers and misfits who aren't cut out for anything other than working as paid whores in the halls of Congress. But that's OK. In fact, if that's the worse thing anyone can say about him then he has the makings of a superb president.

May be related to the memorandum Trump signed on Monday related to China’s practices. It’s always and forever about the money. How many of these CEOs have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo trade with China?

He has to know the media is after him so he should've just called out the Nazi's

I think I'm seeing a trend here ...

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't have called Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig."

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't have called Megyn Kelly a bimbo."

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't have called John McCain a fake war hero."

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't have called Jeb Bush 'Low Energy Jeb.'"

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't have called Ted Cruz 'Lying Ted.'"

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't have called Hillary Clinton 'Crooked Hillary.'"

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't calling CNN 'Fake News.'"

"He has to know the media is after him so he shouldn't calling the New York Times 'the failing New York Times.'"

You are either naive, or intellectually dishonest, or perhaps a holdover Never-Trump loser.

Trump spoke the truth. Media and leftists (but I repeat myself) can’t handle the truth - and neither, obviously, can you.

By your counsel, we should all become silent lambs, so not to offend the leftists sensibilities. We should all just allow the media to write its narrative unopposed.

Are you so naive as to not understand that the legacy media would conduct itself the same, no matter what Trumps says or does not say? You come across as willfully indifferent to the MSM’s intransigence.

Perhaps Trump should have you attach him to your establishment puppet master strings. That way, you and they can control his mouth, his thoughts, his plans, his actions ... Then everything will remain just as you and they have always kept things - totally FUBAR and against the American people!

With “friends” like you, who the hell needs enemies!

Consider this: He didn’t get elected because he can’t control his mouth, he got elected in spite of it because Americans are desperate for change and to shake up the DC swamp. Now, his runaway mouth is getting in the way of achieving his goals.

Wrong again. Trump got elected because of his mouth. We live in the age of Kardashian. Milquetoast conservatism isn’t going to win any national elections these days.

Oh, and you think the Washington political establishment, aka “the Swamp,” is going to “ally” with Trump? The only “allies” he has ever held or will ever hold are those who elected him - the American people. If they had their way, he establishment swamp creatures would have us all become slaves, or dead. No amount of “persuasion” is going to change that mindset. Those people hate Trump as much as they despise Americans and our ability to chose who leads us. The ones whom you deem possible “allies” are so caught up in, and kowtowed to, the PC culture that no amount of “persuasion” will ever bring them on board. They are feckless faithless cowards, with neither honor nor principle. If you thought this was going to go any other way, then you’ve been dreaming.

Unfortunately, NOTHING he says or does will be to their liking. They are so eat up with hate and anger over losing the election, they can’t see past it. Libs and the MSM would rather see this country destroyed than see Trump do well. They certainly seem to be ignoring the record breaking stock market and jobs reports. It seems like they are doing everything they can to wreck the stock market, but it isn’t working. Makes them even madder.

Oh RINOs can be persuaded all right. They are persuaded by fear of their voters. You persuade their voters and the RINOs fall in line.

Your argument is full of holes, and here’s only the most recent of glaring examples:

If RINOs “feared their voters,” then one of the various Obamacare Repeal bills would be signed into law by now.
