In the latest iteration of the never-ending Democrat campaign to disrupt President Donald Trump’s agenda and to throw him off message, a full-blown smear campaign now is afoot alleging that he is stupid or, even more concerning, mentally unbalanced. This campaign initially must be understood in the context of two factors. First, the Democrats and their mainstream liberal media allies have leveled the same defamations against virtually every Republican President who has served during the past forty years. Second, this smear campaign is the latest in a series of never-ending Democrat efforts to find a weak spot in President Trump’s personal armor in the hope finally of unsettling him to the point of disgust with being President.
*snip*
Throughout the President’s first year, the Democrats and their liberal media cohort have pursued one campaign after another, aimed at delegitimizing the President and piercing the President’s personal armor, hoping to unsettle him and simply to bog him down with detritus that will obstruct his effective and focused governing. First, he was lambasted for supposedly suggesting in a debate that he would not accept the legitimacy of the election results if he lost. Then, after he won, it was the Democrats who refused to accept the results. First they demanded recounts in several states. After Mr. Trump emerged from those recounts successfully, often picking up more votes and further extending his victory margins in states he won, they publicly pleaded with electors not to honor their pledges to vote for the candidate who had won their respective states. Then, after the electors honored their oaths and elected Donald J. Trump to be 45th president of the United States, the Democrats and their liberal media cohort sought to overturn the Electoral College itself.

They have to attack the man.
Like Trump correctly states, the media is corrupt and the Dems are lost - both 100% true.
Well, if their evidence comes from Steve Bannon, you can ask why they think that Bannon was a reliable, stable source, as they said otherwise not long ago.
America sees the improving economy and lifted confidence of main street.
If Trump is crazy...perhaps crazy is just what we needed all along.
Fascists employ this technique all the time precisely because they know it is hard to refute.
It’s not just the left. Many of his primary opponents had the same issues with him.
If it was me, I’d ignore the campaign and keep living the best life I could live and doing my job to the best of my ability.
I couldn’t believe what I saw in my 401 K quarterly report that I received yesterday! 8 years of Obama I saw some improvement but this was gobsmacking.
Response should be record number of exec orders that you are certain your enemies and their followers will absolutely hate. And you let them know exactly how they deserve them
Democraps....
When I was a child I heard Eisenhower was a great general but a bad president.
They said Nixon was a paranoid crook.
They said Reagan was an amiable dunce with Alzheimer.
They said Bush was an iliterate cowboy.
Obviously it’s all they have....insults and vicious lies.
REALLY STUPID DEMOCRATS
25th Amendment Stupid
o Obama
o Joe Biden
o Oprah
o Clinton
Case Closed
Great suggestion!
It’s not just the left. Many of his primary opponents had the same issues with him.
The primary opponents who would have been "stew meat" for the Clinton Machine...
This has been the modus operandi of the Left since the Eisenhower administration...at least.
Non-Democrat candidates and office holders are one of four things: Dangerous, Evil, Stupid, or some combination of those three things.
Eisenhower: Stupid
Goldwater: Evil and Dangerous.
Nixon: Evil, Stupid and Dangerous.
Ford: Stupid
Reagan: Evil, stupid, and Dangerous.
GHW Bush: Stupid, Dangerous
Dole: Stupid
GW Bush: Evil, Stupid, Dangerous
McCain: Stupid and Dangerous (Okay, they were right there)
Palin: Stupid
Trump: Evil, Stupid, Dangerous. Squared. (Add new one, which will be rolled out for all future non-Left candidates: Insane)
Isn’t unending “obsession” a symptom, or trait, of “mental illness”?
If so, then the libs and media need to look in a mirror somewhere, as they are unhealthfully obsessed with getting Trump out of office.
Their every waking breath is consumed with throwing mud towards Trump, in the hope that ‘something’ will stick, and work.
So far, millions of dollars, and minutes, have produced NOTHING.
On CNN...24/7, it’s Trump-bashing as the daily fare. They won’t change their minds, and can’t change the subject...with NO evidence, other than feeding off each others’ opinions.
Obsession IS a sign of unbalance and mental illness, and the left is eat up with it.
The best way? As Conan said, “Crush your enemies — See them driven before you, and listen to the lamentation of their women!”.
“Fascists employ this technique all the time precisely because they know it is hard to refute”
Press secretary, Take note!
Or simply... “Consider the source”
Or perhaps source out a factual smear campaign against the offending originator of said attack.
A variety of tried and true savvy responses will quell the offensive.
Anyone who does not walk lockstep with the PC liberal doxology is crazy by default. Just watch them when they accidentally do not say the right word and are accused of whatever sin it creates.
