To those that argue healthy criticism is necessary and do not follow blindly - under normal circumstances I would agree BUT we are at war. And Trump supporters are all Trump has. For 3 years our enemies: DEM, Media and RINO have fought ruthlessly to reduce Trump support among the base (unsuccessfully). Why? Because the base is the only thing protecting Trump. My point is that verbalized criticism is used to weaken the support. Much like being at war and a few solders signaling to the enemy that his team is weak or wounded. It also means, do not lose faith or courage. Together we win, divided we fall.
Please reference response #22, #26, and #40.
I don’t mind healthy criticism of Trump. I’ve engaged in some myself. However, we must avoid parroting the deranged bilge from MSNBC, CNN, the nets, Bill Kristol, etc.
Yes!...I know you are right!
I think you sound insulting!
Most of us here agree with Moe!.....We appreciate her opinion!.....Its her opinion and she has the right to it.
Why dont you take your opinion and start your own thread and see how many responses you get.
Also, Ann Coulter can pound sand!....
“I believe he accomplished quite a lot related to sex trafficking, gang activity, corruption prosecutions, break up of pedophile rings. He has laid the groundwork for a more efficient processing and deportation of illegal aliens. He set up to confiscate & freeze assets of those involved in activities like the Clinton foundation. We may yet see fruit from those seeds he planted.”
I have seen no progress in those areas for sometime. I believe it has all been slowed down or stopped. Plea deals or charges drooped.
“Also, Ann Coulter can pound sand!....”
Ann spoke up and Trump stood up. He was ready to fold until she and Rush lambasted him. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
Difference between a facepalm and a jumping the shark concern-troll avocation - we have too many of them who almost invariably turn out to be wrong as they wring their hands and predict Trump’s demise as “a matter of principle”....they never take positive action and call those who do “stupid” and do their best to find fault...it seems they have way more dem in them than they care to admit and get off on pretending to be conservative patriots.
One needs to scroll page by page to see the results. Quite a bit is being accomplished. I found several of the trafficking cases with convictions in the first 9 pages. It often takes more than 6 months for a judicial conviction & sentencing. Your belief notwithstanding.
Thanks for the link.
POTUS believes in misdirection to keep his enemies off base.
If you want to understand his tactics his favorite book may be helpful and is available free from this kink.

Sometimes he tweets something that really makes me cringe. Starting that whole twitter war with that pig Rosie O'Donnell was completely unnecessary, IMO. Ignore the pig and let her stupidity stand on its own. That's just one example.
To your larger point that you wanted a bull in a china shop to completely bust things up ... I AGREE 1,000%. It's one of the reasons I voted for him (that and the economy.)
I think what we're seeing here with this "partial government shutdown" is President Trump schooling the lying liberal lamestream media along with the Democraps that if they want a street fight, he's more than capable of it and he's going to use every tool at his disposal to get his point of view and stand out to the public.
To that end, I say TWITTER AWAY, MR. PRESIDENT!
I back my President 1,000% in this war against the Democrats and lying liberal lamestream media!! Yes, it is WAR.
Yes it is. Any PDJT supporter who's on the wrong hill needs to get their ass over here and BACK OUR PRESIDENT lest they get shot in the crossfire for being on the wrong hill.
This is the battle folks. We lose this, we lose our country. It's that damn' important. It'll be unfettered criminal illegal immigration invasion forever. This is our once in a lifetime opportunity and anyone who doesn't see it that way needs to either STFU and get on-board or go join the other side.
It's THAT simple.
Learned the Art of War in the early 80’s.Yes Trump uses it but not the entire package and not always in it’s true form Worked well for me for many years.
Reviewed the DoJ links and don’t see all that much in human/sex/porn trafficking for 2018. For a country this size and the alleged numbers of arrests it seems like not a lot.
He also cut her out of his twitter account!
Our President is not waiting around to see which way their wind is blowing to make decisions....
Truly, that is just silly
If he arrests the clintons and obamas and the other crooks then I can wait for him to build the wall.
I wholeheartedly agree. The man is an American hero. I wish I could do more to help him.
I suggest you review the timeline of the events last week with a unbiased eye.
They complain of his inconsistencies not recognizing that of course is intended to shake the Politicians who want him to do it their way.......he doesn't want to be predictable and none can stand it that oppose him. Prime example was the meeting with Pelosi and Shulmer......they didn't know what to expect, they weren't prepared to see the press there, their body language was all over the place as was what they were saying......
Simple - WHERE THE HECK WAS THE “Healthy Criticism of Obama” from the very same people ??
Hypocrites.
Simple - ask someone who talks about simiilar “Healthy Criticism” about Hillary’s Treasons (and Obamas for covering it up)
Hypocrites.
An example of criticism mirrored by the enemies or vice versa.....article from 12/24/18.

WASHINGTON (AP) ..........On the domestic front, no sooner had Trump signaled he might be backing off his demand for $5 billion to build a border wall with Mexico easing away from a partial government shutdown than he took a U-turn after being scolded by conservative allies and pundits, who accused him of wavering on a campaign promise............
Were not winning the battle of public opinion by agreeing with the perception/spin of the enemy. Perception is not fact. Only Trump knows the facts, everyone else is presuming.
