Trump rallies his base — and his base rallies for him

In yet another turbulent week for the White House, the president twice took comfort in his safest of safe spaces: the Trump rally.

On Tuesday in Tampa, Fla., and Thursday in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Trump basked in the applause, the encouraging chants of “CNN Sucks!,” and the sight of ubiquitous red hats and no longer cryptic “Q” signs and t-shirts that dotted his crowds.

The ostensible reason for the rallies was to campaign for two Republican candidates Trump hopes will save him the humiliation of heavy GOP losses in the forthcoming midterm elections. In Florida, the president threw his support behind Ron DeSantis, a frontrunner in the Aug. 28 Republican primary for governor whose fawning, pro-Trump campaign ad set a new high-water mark for partisan flattery.

While DeSantis’s Democratic opponent has yet to be decided, Trump began testing out the lines he’ll be using over and over until November to keep his party in power.

“In the November general election, don’t forget, you have somebody, one of the group is going to be running on open borders, anti-ICE, anti-law enforcement,” Trump said as his audience obliged him with loud booing.

In Pennsylvania, after another detailed recounting of his 2016 election night victory, Trump sought to boost the U.S. Senate candidacy of Lou Barletta, bashing his opponent with attacks that echoed those used in Florida....

The only turbulence I’m detecting is taking place within the ranks of PDJT’s detractors, who’s rabid, nonlinear apoplexy is looking more and more like the raving of the town drunk, holding forth under a solitary street lamp at 3AM.

I don’t think the author could have fit one more anti-Trump slant into that piece.

We will have the September/October surprise. Trump should ask the American people to set aside, ridicule it and in return promise prosecutions and redactions the 2nd week of November.

Turbulent week? Geez, what alternate reality are they living in? We just had Apple hit a trillion dollars in value, the jobs and production are still climbing, people are getting more money in their pay checks, and OH yes, President Trump got Kim Jung Il to ship home the remains of 55 US heroes remains so they can be buried in Arlington Cemetary where they are long overdue!

Pelosi and Schumer said the Halfrican was coming back strong.....gonna be the main man at Democrat (gag) rallies.

4.1% GDP last quarter, a record 157M people working, unemployment falls to 3.9%, the EU caves to Trump on tariffs, Nucor finalizes a $240M steel plant in Florida. Trade deficit falls for the third straight month. And Trump approval tops 50%

If that’s a “turbulent week” at the Trump White House, sign me up.

_________________________________
Trump's turbulence is his marvelous, one of a kind, ability to rattle their cage at every rally for 60 plus minutes and get national coverage while he's doing it. There is no one that is even close to being able to match his improvisational stand-up talking style and his gigantic crowd draw. He is a unique achiever.
