He’s learned that the press is ready at all times to make mountains out of molehills.

I submit that the president has been intentionally spinning the media in circles with his tweets to prevent a concerted attack.

The situation has changed. He will resume tweeting if he needs to disorient his foes

IMHO Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)

(apparently some others already thought of this according to a web search)

It goes along with what you are saying to say that Trump is “maturing” into the job. He’s figuring out where his sometimes brash, aggressive, Queens-guy-on-a-construction-site businessman skills/personna intersect with the politics he has to deal with - Tax Cut Bill shows he’s getting there. I also think the responsibility/burden of the job, after his first year, have now settled squarely on his shoulders, with all of their weight.

One thing Trump said during the campaign that has always stuck with me .... he said “I don’t disappoint people and I will not disappoint you (the American people)”. The man keeps his promises, no matter how difficult it becomes.

Now I think he needs to stay, in the “keep your enemies closer”


Amen, and you’d THINK his enemies would have learned to stay a long hell the way away from him.... but no!

This publication has been non-stop Trump/Melania hatred since he was elected. Articles like this appear every day and sometimes even more frequently. They are actively working to stress/undermine this family. I pray for their safety and well-being.

For openers, he has been publicly shown to be completely innocent by the release of the Nunes Memo. Our stalwarts on the House Committee have stated that the corruption revealed by that memo represents only 10-15% of the total they have uncovered and will be documenting soon. A few clues.

The leftists are throwing out a stupid meme for us to swallow. The probably want their audience to think that Trump is scared, hiding something, or going through some type of emotional breakdown.

Remember, these are shills for the Deep state and they employ propaganda and psy-ops all the time.

Also, Trump asking Rosenstein to say is a win-win-win for Trump.
Win #1. Trump looks magnanimous.
Win #2. If Rosenstein stays, he’s monitored, surrounded by people who hate him, and in his own little hell.
Win #3. If Rosenstein chooses to resign on his own, he looks guilty.

It’ll suck to be him.

Obama was probably great with delegating tasks to others and signing off on whatever was put in front of him while he sank baskets or was binge-watching something. Trump is probably looking over everything to make sure nothing is being put over on him.

That's a good point. Obama was really nothing but a figurehead and had zero executive experience coming in. So smarter people made his decisions for him and yes, I believe he pretty much signed whatever was put in front of him by his betters because he didn't have a clue. He was really a dummy. For example, he actually did pronounce corpsman as "corpse man" because he didn't know any better. What he was better at and what he'd really rather be doing was filling out college basketball brackets and hanging with his pals while the adults ran things in the background.

The picture below of the command center during the Bin Laden raid tells the whole story. Even though he is the president, he has no command presence whatsoever and his facial expression is that of a 12-year-old boy dragged away from his video game by his parents. Just a scowling little man surrounded by adults.

Obama had/has Valery Jarrett as his handler.

“””””””He only tweets outrageous / unruly stuff when he needs to distract the fools in the press.””””””””””””

I can completely understand. President Trump and I are very much alike. I don’t have billions of dollars. Or a hot model wife. Or run the country or cool stuff like that. BUTT, I am an expert at screwing with people that need to be screwed with. It takes patience. Just like fishing you need the right bait and you need to know when to set the hook.

I remember being in a deposition a few years ago due to a truck driver running me over. They had a top notch lawyer and I spun him around for three hours. My lawyer said he had never seen anything quite like it before.

President Trump did not get to where he is without knowing how to control people.

Also, if Rosenstein’s stays, he has answer questions from the IG. That should provide us with some future entertaining sequels.

Trump accomplished his purpose of getting the bad guys all wee-wee’d up. Now he can rest and concentrate on other things.

><

Trump has been concentrated on things the whole time. It’s amazing how he has carried on.
