Trump infuriated after backing Alabama loser
CNN ^ | September 27, 2017

Posted on 09/27/2017 8:44:11 AM PDT by SMGFan

CNN)Returning from a high-dollar fundraiser in Manhattan on Tuesday evening, an infuriated President Donald Trump watched aboard Air Force One as Fox News called the Alabama Senate primary for Roy Moore against Trump's favored candidate, Luther Strange. What ensued was a barrage of angry venting at his political team and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had consolidated establishment GOP support behind Strange.

Trump, officials and informal advisers say, felt misled by McConnell and his political team, who encouraged him to endorse and campaign for Strange.

Ann Coulter squawking on the radio that it’s JAROD KUSHNER’S FAULT!!! I wonder if she’s a certain frenzied freeper here?
______________
Ann is dead right. Kushner has zero sense of the country's pulse because he is a liberal Northeast establishment type. It is sad that the President has his liberal family whispering in his ear. The President needs to get his act together on those who he now has around him including his Chief of Staff.

Trump knew Moore would win. Polls were way too high for Moore, for him to lose. So by endorsing Strange, in a clearly and obviously lukewarm manner, he got Strange to vote for Trump’s MAGA agenda until he leaves in January.

Trump knew Moore did not need his endorsement to win, but Strange’s votes in the Senate until he’s out will be very valuable.

These article are such total crap, ALL “unnamed sources”, “reports”, “those close to the President/in the White House”. etc. Why anyone believes this garbage is beyond my comprehension.

I think a lot of people just are addicted to bad news so they’d rather believe fake bad news than real good news! It gives them some sort of weird jollies.

We Christians need to not shut up about standing on and for our faith .... Senator Moore said he never prayed and asked God for him to win, but for God's will to be done


And look at all the color surrounding Roy Moore !

America is getting great again !

And many freepers’ mistake (and people elsewhere) is believing that Trump is not his own man, can’t think for himself, and is being controlled by fools and ill-intentioned people.

Yes, and he will campaign for him, I am sure.

Moore said there were no hard feelings toward Trump and he will work to advance his agenda.

Out of loyalty since Strange supported Trump’s policies.

Yes, CNN knows this how? Surely by looking at the polls, Trump was not that self delusional?

From all I’ve read on here......Trump is his own man and makes his decisions hisself. Have read it over and over so......can’t blame the political team or anyone else.
I get the loyalty thing but if he had any doubts he should have just stayed out of it and not let his political team sway him. If that’s what happened.

We will soon find out what Trump dealt for as it will probably be the only thing passed by the Senate in the next 3 years.

Exactly.

I’m surprised they did not realize and that Roy Moore was a lock in a Statewide election. He had won a Statewide election two the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court seat two times. Both were by landslides.

Alabama likes Roy Moore, has always liked Roy Moore, and showed again yesterday that he speaks their language and they love him.

I didn't get why President Trump was supporting him.

The Art of the Deal. We'll see whether Mcconnell and the swamp hold up their end after DT went against his campaign rhetoric and supported their boy.

They examined each other's bungholes, and found it therein ...
