Because, with all respect to the president, he is making serious tactical errors. He is allowing himself to fall into the trap of allowing the dems to “Shape the Battlefield.”
#1, STOP TWEETING!!!!! He looks foolish every time he does. Stop being (and needing to be) the headline every day.
#2, Follow the Schwarzkopf model. Spend your time quietly getting ready for the battle, rather than fighting little skirmishes way too early.
#3, Use the ground swell he had after the Mini-SOTU speech to get Gorsuch in. Stop everything else until Gorsuch is in, so what the little twerp Hawaii and 9th Circuit judges don’t matter!
#4, Get rid of the thin skin. Ignore the flea shoot. Show you are above it. When you stop responding to it, it stops.
#5, Stop screaming at the crowd at speeches. Let the PA do the work. Regardless of the words, the loud and brash screaming mood and tempo of the speeches makes him sound angry and out of control. That stopped being effective 3 months ago.
#6, Finally, sorry to say this, but stop talking about himself! Talk about how The Common Man will be helped, but stop leading with the bruised ego.
Your suggestions sound as if you want Trump to be more like G. W. Bush. The brashness/tweeting/comebacks had a lot to do with getting him elected. Are you really suggesting that judges are ruling against him because he is obnoxious, and that things would change if he'd "cool it"?
The scary thing to me about these recent rulings is that we have reached a point in which ANY judge can rule against ANYTHING he/she does not like while falsely claiming that the President is violating the constitution. NOTHING can/will be done about it unless we have a rock-solid majority on the Supreme Court. These judges are out of control and have usurped all Federal Government authority for themselves. The left won't need to win elections as long as they have the judges in their pockets.
