CNN Ponders Trump 2020: 'What Is the Magic That He Doles Out?'
CNS News ^ | August 20, 2019 | Susan Jones

Rolling Stone magazine recently published an article titled "Trump 2020: Be Very Afraid," which carries the following subtitle: "America is the first country to ever elect a Mad King, and the way things are going, we may be dumb enough to do it twice."

The author, Matt Taibbi, sat down with CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday morning. Among other things, Taibbi said the enthusiasm at Trump's campaign events this year is even greater than it was in 2016, and reporters who cover Trump are not explaining that.

"What is the magic that he doles out?" CNN's Alisyn Camerota, not a Trump fan, asked Taibbi:

The left lives in a fantasy world. And that is dangerous for America.

The “Great Magic” is common sense combined with business sense and love of country.

Trump supports America.

Apparently there are a lot of Americans out there who appreciate that.

Who knew?

The “magic” is that Trump is not a slimy pile of $hit politician. He’s a business man and isn’t bought by China and other special interest groups.

He appeals to a certain kind of people in middle America. And to them, he's their champion.

If they stopped passing the pipe at the Rolling STone, they might find out Donald Trump is REAL and not a phony like 100% of the other scumbag politicians.

He’s honest.

A mad king, huh?

What these morons don’t realize is that America is just rebounding from the extremely liberal and highly dangerous policies of the Obama regime. We are self correcting our political landscape.

"America is the first country to ever elect a Mad King". Is this satire to mock liberals' ignorance of history?

“What is the magic that he doles out?”

He sides with the citizens and the rule of law.

Been so long since this was so, people forgot what it was like.

“The “Great Magic” is common sense combined with business sense and love of country.”

That’s exactly right. It’s amazing how so many don’t get it. I guess it shows how much disdain for America has permeated so much of society.

Trump is a strategist and a tactician all rolled into one. Very rare, even in business. He sets a path in what we tend to call 3D chess and then develops tactics that are seemingly unrelated to the strategy other than accomplishing the next 3D move. Because the tactics are counter intuitive to the opponents and observers their effectiveness is enhanced.

>>”America is the first country to ever elect a Mad King, and the way things are going, we may be dumb enough to do it twice.”

I see that the Left is back to saying voters are too stupid to be allowed to vote.

“superstition and bigotry” blah blah blah

Hitlery Rotten Clinton is corrupt AF. And everybody knows it and is too scared to say it.

It’s very easy to sum up. Trump is a natural born leader who truly loves the United States of America. Anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear know it.

And let me just throw this out there - these people actually admire him and are jealous. But they can’t bring themselves to admit it. They are Trumpel-stiltskins that go dancing around their campfires in the woods at night as they sing out in the darkness.

Best election everrrrrrrrrrrr ............
MAGA

Taibbi lived and worked in Russia and the former USSR for more than six years. He joined Mark Ames in 1997 to co-edit the English-language Moscow-based, bi-weekly free newspaper, The eXile, which was written primarily for the city’s expatriate community. The eXile’s tone and content were highly controversial. To some, its commentary was brutally honest and gleefully tasteless; others considered it juvenile, misogynistic, and even cruel.[9][10][11] In the U.S. media, Playboy magazine published pieces on Russia both by Taibbi and by Taibbi and Ames together during this time. In 2000, Taibbi published his first book, The Exile: Sex, Drugs, and Libel in the New Russia, co-authored with Ames. He later stated that he was addicted to heroin while he did this early writing...

...In March 2005, Taibbi’s satirical essay, “The 52 Funniest Things About the Upcoming Death of the Pope”,[18] published in the New York Press, was denounced by Hillary Clinton, Michael Bloomberg, Matt Drudge, Abe Foxman, and Anthony Weiner. He left the paper in August 2005, shortly after his editor Jeff Koyen was forced out over the article.[19] Taibbi defended the piece as “off-the-cuff burlesque of truly tasteless jokes,” written to give his readers a break from a long run of his “fulminating political essays”. Taibbi also said he was surprised at the vehement reactions to what he wrote “in the waning hours of a Vicodin haze”.[20]
