Trump, Finally Explained (Trump, A Dunce Like Reagan)
New York Times ^ | 12/03/2016 | Gail Collins

Posted on 12/03/2016 1:21:32 AM PST by goldstategop

Some of you may find it disturbing that one of Trump’s chief apologists was basically saying that he talks policy like a drunk at happy hour. Some of you may hear Trump constantly contradicting today what he said yesterday and decide he’s an idiot.

From now on I’m going to try to think of him as a little bit like my dog, Frieda. Frieda is extremely intelligent, but her memory is only good for about 90 seconds.

When you listen to Trump’s Inaugural Address, or his first State of the Union, keep reminding yourself that he’s reserving the right to forget everything he’s said as soon as he says it. No way we can believe him long term. Unless he tattoos it on his arm.

“So New York Times, what does it say about the rest of the media and political establishment, both Republican and Democrat, that a “dunce” could defeat the best candidates either party could muster and even swat away everything the media had in its arsenal?”

They are down with the meme that everyone who voted for both Trump and Reagan are/were mentally defective. They see half the country as “not yet enlightened” about the “truth” about Liberalism/Marxism. In truth, they regard all of us as “deplorables” who have managed, for a short period of time, to derail their
“righteous quest” for “social justice!”

The media has turned in to non stop madlibs. Trump is (insert negative adjective here). Trump supporters are (insert negative adjective here).

And I am sure we all heard Obama’s massive qualifications because he knew how to get elected. Well. Trump got elected...

Back in the 80s, Reagan was a liberal punchline because he was a B movie actor. He was Bozo like in one of his movies.

They were so sure Americans would never elect someone like him President.

Then again, they were so sure Americans would never elect someone like Trump - because he was a racist and nativist.

Why, none other than Bernie Sanders gave us that assurance back in the spring.

Gail can’t seem to remember what Trump talked about.

In explaining him, she’s really explaining herself.

I would hazard a guess her dog understands her far better than she understands her.

Her dog isn’t forgetting, she is bitching constantly about what an idiot Gail is and having panic attacks every time she realizes, yet again, her life depends on this idiot.

So, New York Slimes.....an "idiot" beat the "smartest woman in the world"?

The Slimes can't face the fact that it is, itself, a joke and that the People reject their view of the world.

They need to delegitimize him. When he distills a situation to its essence and determines the necessary end result, and then he acts according to the best interests of his constituency and his country. You're concerned about losing your job; I'll promise Carrier preferential tax treatment so you can keep your job. I'll make up the difference later by maybe not sending billions of dollars to people who want to kill us.

Why don't we simply keep track of his accomplishments and enumerate them every time his detractors attempt to discredit him?

To forget what was promised is far more excusable than to have a Commander-In-Chief and his staff knowingly lie to you and then boast about it.

Margaret Thatcher on Reagan: “It is easy for lesser men to underestimate him.” Trump wins an election after being outspent 2-1, with weak support from his own party, and with virtually total opposition from the press, including Collins, and she calls him stupid. She is like a boxer who gets pummeled and then says that his opponent is a weakling.

I called my dad, retired military, to ask him what he thought of Mad Dog Mattis, and said Trump was the new Reagan. He said, “Nobody’s as good as Reagan.”

...It never works and they never stop trying. It’s like a little game they play at this point.

It's a little game they play on themselves because they're the only one's that buy it, we can sure see right through it.

“The Democrats are just trying to set it up so they can claim Trump’s Presidency “is under a cloud.” Everything with them is a scheme.” Bill Mitchell
