The Trump Steamroller Is Broken

[Bigg Red]

Best to ignore him — or it, since it could be a bot.

[Obadiah]

Classic left-wing media desperately trying to imprint a narrative.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Hey, Atlantic? Where ya been? President Trump doesn't have a steamroller, he has a TRAIN! Get on board or get off the tracks!

[McGruff]

Jonathan Lemire is an American political correspondent. He is currently co-host of Morning Joe on MS NOW and a staff writer at The Atlantic. He was formerly the White House bureau chief at Politico and a White House correspondent at The Associated Press.

Why even post this crap?

[Socon-Econ]

Broken or not, Trump needs to quit foreign policy and focus ENTIRELY on the midterms and ending vote cheating. He has many great issues, but he needs to communicate them to the voters. The best communicators will win.

[fuzzylogic]

At this point, it’s all about midterms. We’re going to hear nothing but this kind of ‘sky is falling’ garbage.

Painting the narrative is what they do. Only fools fall for it.

[DeplorablePaul]

Yep. Left wing wishful thinking. Trump and Republicans have a very good record. Actively sold, it 2026 should be a good mid term for Trump.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Trump 1.0 was fine until the CCP/Deep State dumped covid on us wrecking the economy.

Trump 2.0 will be fine also, if he keeps his promises...

...AND if the CCP/Deep State doesn't deliberately wreck the economy again before the mid-terms.

[Old West Conservative]

And the TDS is very strong on Free Republic

The usual suspects on this Freeper board will applaud this article

[pfflier]

A signature hard-line immigration policy has polled poorly.

Really?? Last report was something like 80% approval.

[mewzilla]

They have been so far.

But we need to stop fighting half a battle.

We need to find and run MAGA candidates in every primary, for every election,

And vote for MAGA regardless of the letter after the name.

[toddausauras]

True.

[Highest Authority]

This is the Psyop being used now by all the left wing wackos to try to convince people that Trump is done. They are wrong, bigly!

[BluH2o]

The Atlantic no less ... the publication with full blown TDS.
The Atlantic, back in November 2018, accused Trump (while in Paris) of stating he wouldn't visit the Belleu Woods WWI war memorial because the Marines & soldiers interred there were suckers & losers. The trip by helicopter was cancelled due to severe weather and time & security issues prevented a convoy of vehicles being used to make the trip. This was an outright fabrication by The Atlantic ... Trump visited other WWI Memorial sites both in France and Belgium the following day

[ansel12]

You are willing to support the democrats over the maga party?

I don’t anticipate supporting the democratic party myself.

[brookwood]

How about getting those hostages released and ending the war in Gaza?

[rktman]

More steam! STAT!!!!!

[packrat35]

Not at GOP are MAGA...

[kaktuskid]

Too many people on this site have an Amazon Prime mentality..they want it all now!

It took Reagan most of his first term to turn the ship around. People have a poor remembrance of history.

[Colorado Doug]

They really have him this time

Ha Ha
Just kidding
Dream on Atlantic.
