Michael Reagan: Trump Tweets 'Absolutely Stupid Politically'

President Donald Trump should give his staff a heads up when he plans to make controversial tweets like he did on Saturday morning, alleging that former President Barack Obama ordered Trump Tower wiretapped during the election, conservative commentator Michael Reagan tells Newsmax TV.

Besides leaving his staff scrambling at unexpected controversies, Trump also killed the positive coverage he had been getting all week for his generally well-received joint address to Congress, Reagan said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."

"If I was a member of his staff right now, I'd be breaking his thumbs," Reagan said. "That's what I would be doing to stop him from tweeting behind their backs with things that are, in fact, going to change the narrative of what's going on."

Reagan called Trump's tweets "absolutely stupid politically," adding that "I'm sure his staff is trying to figure out what in the world do we do to stop him from using those thumbs at 6 a.m."

He used to be cogent and very reaganesque conservative,now he cannot be counted on for much. His expiration has long since past.

Dear Michael Reagan, Trump has already outclassed your dad merely on the basis of parental success. Trump’s kids are much more relevant and successful than your dad’s kids.

Well gee, if you’re so politically brilliant, why don’t you run for President next time and show us how it’s done!

Because trading on your adopted father's name will only get you so far, when your sole ability and lifes achievement is trading on your deceased adopted father's legacy.

Some of the folks who should know better by now just don’t get Donald J Trump. Every stupid seeming tweet and apparently off the cuff remark makes the opposition look stupid or criminal.

Michael is solid, just a little dense at times. Don’t get so snotty. He’s on our side. I used to cringe at the apparently off-the-wall remarks but finally figured out that bad as they sound at first, they make the opposition look at least foolish and criminal. Trump instinctively understands how to push the right buttons. The rest of us should not try it.

Michael, you are nothing but a relic. And not a very smart one at that.

It would depend on how much President Trump actually knows - he probably has a lot more info and is waiting for someone to step all over their own junk in the flurry he created.

No Mikey

The truly stupid move is the one you Vichy Republicans are making. The left has declared politcal war and you Vichy Republican are signing up with them on the losing side
