Karl Rove: Trump 'Sabotaging His Own Agenda'
Newsmax ^ | June 8, 2017 | Jason Devaney

President Donald Trump has failed at getting the proper message out during his time as a politician and is "sabotaging his own agenda," political analyst Karl Rove wrote in an opinion piece.

Rove, who worked in the White House under former President George W. Bush, argued in The Wall Street Journal that Trump's Twitter habit is causing a lot of problems for him.

"Mr. Trump has figured out how to tweet his way around the mainstream media," Rove wrote. "Yet by disregarding basic fact checking, he is deepening the already considerable doubts Americans have about his competence and trustworthiness."

The only Twitter problems are for the Global Elites. That is why they continually harp on all these non-existent twitter “problems”. They wish he’d stop because then they would control the narrative.

Tweet on, Mr. President. America LOVES you.

In some ways things are going great, like judges (a little slow, but picking up).

Other things are stalled that might not be if Trump had a better grasp of politics.

Other things, it seems Trump actively doesn’t care.

The worst example of the last is, how come we still have DACA? That was a likely illegal Obama program, totally run by executive order. Trump has shot down dozens of such orders.

But with DACA, not only has he not reversed the order, the department is still handing out passes to illegals.

No kidding. This porker gas bag must really be linked in with the Democrats or they must have something on him. He’s as credible as Maxine Waters or Al Green.

“I wish both he and McCain would just retire and get out of my life.”

Agree. Rove is the ultimate nebish. What a twit. And I can’t even look at McCain anymore. He makes me sick, the sneaky bastard. A pod on both their houses.

No doubt that left a mark. Karl Rove - master at losing. Hundreds of millions of dollars.

Because Rove wants president Trump to succeed. Now that we see what a real president looks like everything about the bushes is seen in its proper light and it looks crappy

I see him as being like Reagan in that he is one of a kind. I did not expect another effective American Patriot in the presidency in my lifetime because guys like Reagan, and like JPII and Maggie Thatcher are once in a millennium phenomena and we got three of them in a decade. It’s like we used up our quota for a long time. Trump is certainly not Reagan but he is like him in being the man needed desperately at a particular pass. I think a Reagan redux would not have surprised the PTB because they have been there before and Reagan is in their software. A second Reagan would have been strangled in the crib, so to speak. Trump is something they were not prepared for. It didn’t help their “cause” that they didn’t take him seriously until after he won the election.

Rove is upset because sabotaging a candidate was supposed to be his job.

Many years ago we used to think Tokyo Rove was brilliant. A genius! The veil has been lifted, and now he exposes himself as a vile, stupid, arrogant (and evil) piece of excrement.

I agree 100% with ur statement!!!

He lost his opportunity to work with the Trump administration when he became a Never Trumper

Truly a lucky break for the Trump campaign. If Rove were part of the Trump campaign I would have been very skeptical of Trump. DJT certainly had the right enemies.

Comey is between a rock and a hard place. If he pushes too hard against Trump and lies it will quite possibly get Trump in a real bind, maybe even give Paul Ryan the excuse he needs to institute Impeachment proceedings. But he will find himself at a defendant’s table, himself before it ends. If he doesn’t sound like he is at least trying half heartedly he incurs the revenge of the Clintons and Hussein. A strong personality could make his choice and brazen it out. Comey is not that man. Comey is the sort of weakling who makes a comfortable career on the managerial level of the totalitarian enterprise.

Rove, aka Porky Pig, is upset because President Trump is going to drain the swamp.

Rove won’t be able to feed at the public trough anymore at the taxpayer’s expense. Tough Shiite, Karl Swine.

If Rove wanted to help, he would tell Trump his observations and recommendations privately.

Does he have access to Trump? You don't get to Trump's level of success by talking with people who you know will waste your time.

Rove should retire.

No...he reaches far MORE people when he tweets; though I don't have a TWITTER account, so never see them, unl;ess they get posted here.

Most FNC watchers have left and others can't stay up late enough to see Hannity.

Hey Karl, hasn’t anyone told you that you aren’t president any more?
