Winning the presidency didn't change Donald Trump -- and it's increasingly clear that actually being president won't change him either. (snip)
"Campaigning is different from governing. I think he recognizes that," Obama said in a pre-Thanksgiving press conference. "I think what will happen with the President-elect is there are going to be certain elements of his temperament that will not serve him well unless he recognizes them and corrects them." (snip)
"Transitions are important for a number of reasons," said Burke. "One of the reasons is to reintroduce the person not as a political candidate but as a president-elect — a recasting of how both the public and Congress perceive this president."(snip)

Why CNN Won't Change
If there was any mask over CNN's true intentions before this election campaign started, the mask has slipped off for everyone to see how much bias and propaganda is pushed out by CNN under the guise of "news" reporting.
CNN has embarrassed and beclowned themselves in front of the entire world, and yet they continue to spread their lies on a daily basis.
Trump has one job: winning. I don’t want him to change if it means less winning. Lots of winning so far, so I’m good.
He's been making public political statements for more than 30 years.
Before 2015, Trump was clearly a center-left Democrat on every issue, except business and economics.
I campaigned hard against Trump in the primaries because I did not - and still do not - believe in his sudden 2015 political conversion.
But, when Trump locked up the nomination six months ago, I stopped criticizing him.
I voted for Trump in the general election because I hoped he might keep his word on immigration enforcement, and because I hoped he might nominate a Conservative judge to the Supreme Court.
The first thing Trump did after winning the election was agree to an interview with 60 Minutes, a news program that has viciously and relentlessly assaulted Conservative principles for the last 50 years.
The second thing Trump did was renege on his promise to deport all illegal immigrants. Now, Trump will “make a determination” about their status after “the border is secure” and everything has “normalized.”
Was there some reason Trump did not promise to mandate universal E-Verify and arrest employers who hire illegal immigrants?
No reason at all - and millions of illegals would already be jobless and heading to the border to self-deport.
I still have some hope Trump might send a Conservative to the Supreme Court.
But, I will not be surprised if he reneges on that pledge, too.
I don’t WANT him to change. I want him to change Washington.
“I want him to change Washington.”
Indeed. See my tagline.
...”Time to get CNN out of the Nation’s airports!”...
When I stay at a hotel, and I find CNN on the TV when I go down to breakfast, I request the desk to change it and I tell them I believe CNN is viciously biased and not a real news organization. If enough people do that, the hotels might begin to be sensitive to the views out there on this political arm of the left.
The politician class has pandered to the crazy left for decades now. Their language and positions have become far outside the color of reality. Any ordinary individual with a functioning frontal lobe can look up at the sky and compare the color with the picture that these politicians paint.
So we have a culture that’s been operating outside the boundaries of reality for a long time. The dark and flimsy fantasy world constructed by the political/media leftists is so fragile that it cannot withstand the light of day. The source of the Light isn’t really as important as the light itself. So DJT is the Child in Andersons Emperors tale. And a lot of people are angry because they still love the emperors new clothes.
Obama didn’t change. A totalitarian fascist when seizing power, and the same afterwards.
This is a picture of the original poster promoting this abomination. The motto is “Europe: Many Tongues One Voice” as can be seen in the poster.
Why Is The EU Parliament Building Modeled After The Cursed Tower Of Babel?
He won because of who and what he is - it’s the fakers that change/revert after the win happens....Trump is the “Popeye” candidate - “I am what I am”
Why? Donald Trump is liberal on the cultural issues and was only considered racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc., when he ran on the Republican ticket. As for Obamacare? That legislation raises medical costs, and isn’t good overall for the U.S. population. Trump, like it or not, actually appealed to the Middle Class, and most of what the Democrats have been pushing has been detrimental to the Middle Class. Trump is basically an Old School Democrat in terms of his ideologies.
Agreed. The Achilles heel of the GOPe has always been that they play the “nice guy”. The left counts on this - and exploits it.
With Trump, it’ll be no more Mr. Nice guy. The left sees this and is perplexed as to how to turn it to their favor. But “staring down” a speeding freight-train seldom works to the pedestrian’s advantage - as we shall soon see...
Funny.
The MSM in this country is so used to politicians doing and saying whatever they *need* to get elected, and then doing the “business as usual” thing once in office that when someone does and says what they *mean* and gets elected, then continues to do and say the same things - it freaks them out.
Imagine if you’re an MSM reporter of say - thirty-five years of age. You were finishing college and just landing your first gig during the W administration and moving up the ladder when O came to office.
You’ve literally *grown up* as a “journalist” watching the apex of “pay to play” politics in the US.
You don’t know it’s supposed to be different.
Same with all the college kids protesting - They were between ten and thirteen years old when Obama was elected. They grew up on rubber-floored playgrounds and came of age with “identity politics” and they watched it happen without so much as a whimper of real opposition.
They don’t know it’s supposed to be different.
It’s a crazy world. Someone oughta sell tickets. Sure, I’d buy one.
“I don’t know why people expect him to change?”
Because every other GOP Uniparty politician immediately turns around and stabs us in the back as soon as elected, and the enemedia is apparently too stupid to realize that President Trump is different, even though he’s a complete outsider, a self-made billionaire who made his fortune by building stuff, and broke every rule in the campaign book and yet was elected BECAUSE he broke all the rules.
Look at what Stephen Collinson wrote about Obama right after he won the 2008 election:
“The president-elect told a crowd of supporters in Chicago that “change has come to America”.
“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where any things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive ... who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer,” Senator Obama said.
Senator McCain shouldered the blame for his sweeping defeat, telling supporters “the failure is mine”.
Obama solidified traditional Democratic states and cut deep into the Republican territory which his rival needed to control to win the White House.
His historic inauguration will complete a stunning ascent to the pinnacle of US and global politics from national obscurity just four years ago and close an eight-year era of turbulence under President George W Bush.
He will take office with Democrats holding a monopoly in power in Washington, after an epochal election which sparked a rare generational and political realignment and finally snuffed out an era of Republican control.
Obama is promising to renew bruised ties with US allies, and to engage some of the most fierce US foes like Iran and North Korea. He has vowed to pass tackle climate change and provide health care to all Americans.
His presidency also marks a stunning cultural shift, with Obama, the son of Kenyan father and white mother from Kansas, the first African American president of a nation still riven by racial divides.”
Thanks, but I think your reply was meant for someone else.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. But I hope America does not make the same mistakes.
They generally don’t expect the Facebook and Twitter parodies THAT Trump has been firing back at then either. Will Facebook and Twitter try to ban Trump off just to make sure he has no voice?
