I notice that we are always on the defensive.

---

We don’t need to be. The article suggests this yellow journalism is affecting Trumps ability to be successful. It shouldn’t.

The stories should be succinctly refuted and then ignored, and work should progress as if they never happened. I don’t actually see any of these stories since I don’t have TV and don’t do print media.

We can adequately refute charges which we do all of the time (defense), but the next minute they are still attacking with it....example the Russian interference with the election. This is the Alynsky way. We are not good at being on the offence. Its been this way for years.

Donald Trump is the only person I’ve ever seen successfully enrage them. He doesn’t play their game.
